Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Mrs. c. Z. s. writes: 81 get lots
of help from your coiGzin, as am
sure other young mothers who have
babies do. My baby was not weighed
at birth, but the doctor said he.
weighed over 912 pounds. AT
six months he weighs over 20 pounds.
He used to be fed on the three hour
schedule but now he doesn't want to
eat oftener than once in four hours.
I feed him at and he wakes up
about for a feeding at night.
He hardly ever cries and has been
fine baby. One day give him orange
iuice and the next tomato juice, but,
though nurse told me this would
helm his constipation, so far it has
not. I sometimes use suppositories
and sometimes milk of magnesia and
they do not always work. / think he
ought to be fed, but 1 do not know
what to feed him, and I think he
ought to go to bed at the same time
every day. In fact, all his hours are
reSular-sleeping, bathing and every
thing. Some people say not to feed
him in September, as that is a bad
month to start"
Answer.--I am sure your baby must
have weighed over 9 pounds in
order to have gained up to 20 pounds
at six months. That is the usual
weight for a year-old baby, so you
can see that there has been nothing
wrong with the nutrition of this
champion.
September is an excellent month in
which to start either weaving or the
addition of other foods. AS usual
"some people" are wrong. In your
case / would add cereal to the breast
feelings. This does not mean that
the cereal should be given between
feelings. as you sec. n to think, but
preceding the breast feeding, so that
the baby continues to be fed at regu-
lar, four-hour intervals.
You can give prune juice and orange
juice alternately. Perhaps you aren't
giving enough of the orange juice.
Twice daily, one hour before the morn
ing and evening feeding, is usually
an effective method of overcoming
constipation.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri

training, but his father, who had
never gone to college and who thought
he had lost lot by missing the ex-
perience, had decided his son should
go. He forgot that primarily the boy
belonged to himself.
We do not own our children. It Is
a mean and selfish spirit Of ownership
that makes us grow red in the face
and shout: "He is mine. He shall
obey me. Think what he owes me,
his father, his mother" What does
he owe us but love and the kindness
that grows from it? He is not du-
plicate of his father. He may not have
any of his tastes or tendencies. His
way may be new way. Whatever it
is, it is his own, and the only result
demanding ownership can have is
failure.
When the children are little we try
to discover their powers and direct
and train them for future good, but
we do not try to steal the lives of the
children so we may live again and
make up any joys we may feel are
due us. One life is allowed each of
us. Let us keep hands off the other
lives that happen to touch ours, They
are not our own.
Mr.. Patri will give personal attention IN
inquiries from parents and school teachers

The plain shocking alternating with
the Van Dyke and finished with a row
of outline shocking gives variety. BY
dropping first one stitch in row of
plain shocking and then working a
certain number of stitches and drop
ping another and in the row beneath
dropping three. one before and one
after the one dropped above, and in
each succeeding row of stitches drop
ping them in like manner, always in
creasing the number dropped until
but one stitch remains, there will be
a succession Of points. The number
of stitches in each group between
those dropped in the first instance
must be the same to insure even
grouping of points.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Tuesday, October II.

Conflicting planetary influences may
be strong tomorrow, according to as
trology. which finds benefic aspects
dominant.
Women will be energetic and ambi-
tious under this sway, the seers de-
clare. but they may encounter certain
economic obstacles.
This is read as an unusually happy
wedding day, since it presages pros
perity and association with persons of
prominence.
There is good sign for first meet
ings between persons of opposite sex
and romance will affect persons OF all
ages, it is foretold.
Increase in the number of marriages
will be substantial in the coming Win
ter.
There is promise of success tomor-
row through new enterprises. 1t is
held a lucky time for opening shops
or forming new partnerships.
For all who have achieved success.
added prosperity is foretold. and there
will be added impetus to immense ex.
pansions of business interests, eSpe-
cially in public utilities.
There is a direction of the stars indi-
eating solid progress in place Of dar-
ing experiments in aviation.
Criticisms of public men may be
prevalent later in the Autumn, and
it is we'll for persons in the sun to be
cautious.
The death of a leader in women's
work is foretold. and it viii precede
the rise to prominence of a man who
directs voters who are wives and
mothers.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of fairly fortunate year
in which they may encounter more or
less jealousy.
Children born on that day may be
highly gifted. but too independent to
succeed easily. Many subjects of this
sign love adventure in every form.

Shocking is one of the quaint forms
of needlecraft, once of the humbles5
form, but now elevated to an embroid
cry standard. The English word
''smock" Itself originally meant "shift"
or chemise, denoting the kind of gath
ering done on these articles OF under
wear, which were daintily gathered in
this fashion about the neck. Smock-
ing is a favorite way of gathering
infants dresses about the neck today,
and many blouses and smart waists
are also finished at the neck with
shocking.
Smoking is part of the national
costume of Hungarians and is favored
in England. 1t is featured on the
'smock- -frock' of linen handsomely EN-
broidered and worn by field laborers.
Those who delight in exquisite nedle-
work cannot but be glad that in the
process of time this stitchery was
given the recognition it richly deserved.
1t is a curious transition, however.
from laborers' garments to infants
wear, and yet both fashion and good
taste agree that there is a delicacy
about fine shocking that makes it Pc
culiarly fitted to be used on the wee
garments Of little folk. It is when
heavy contrasting thread is employed
In the StlCchery Ihat peasant type
Of needlecraft is Immediately recog-
nized.
Various Stitches.
The present shocking has been de-
veloped to high degree. There are
now any number of shocking stitches,
from the simple outline stitch, done as
in any other outlining except that it
secures the gatherings taken with pre-
cision, up to feather-stitch shocking,
Van Dyke shocking, diamond smock-
ing, etc.
The first thing to do when starting
TO smock is to gather the material
with tiny stitches, generally taken not
more than one-half inch apart and in
a straight horizontal row. Beneath
this row make as many more gathers
as the pattern requires, setting them
just below the stitches already taken.
The stitches should form vertical
edges of the material when rows of
gatherings, each on its separate
thread. have all been drawn together.
After the first gathering thread has
been taken. the gathers should be

Sophisticated Coifures.

The sophisticated coiffure is very
simple and depends for its effective
ness upon the modelling of the hair
around face and head. Simplicity it.
self Is not enough to guarantee a chic
hairdress, but the clever adaptation
of its lines to individual requirements
holds the secret. If the lines of the
coiffure are wrong, everything is
wrong.
One Of these coiffures that will be
popular this Winter is the sleek,
straight arrangement with low knot
behind. Dark hair that grows in a
widows peak" on low forehead is
adaptable to this style. The hair is
brushed back smoothly from the face.
The left ear is entirely exposed, while
the right ear is partially concealed
by two, fat formal curls that hang in
front Of it. The only ornament per-
nissible is short, wide, jeweled comb
that holds the hair on the left side
behind. Long eardrops may match
the comb.
While the low forehead is usually

for hair oil that may be sprayed
on the hair before it is dressed Two
parts olive oil, two parts glycerin, two
parts rosewater, six parts distilled or
rain water; a few drops of perfume.
A sophisticated coiffure that may
be dressed with long or bobbed hair
may be arranged by combing the hair
outward from central point on the
crown of the head. The front hair
falls in a long wavy bang over the
forehead. The side hair clings in
soft curls about the face. II the back
hair is bobbed it may be waved and
brushed in swirl effect around the
head.
The common characteristic among
these three coiffures is that they en-
phasize the natural shape of the head.
Bouffant effects are no longer chic.

the artists choice, there are many
women with high foreheads for whom
becoming coiffures must be designed.
Quite often the solution of their prob
lem is found in a fringe of fiat curls
on the brow. This makes a thin bang
that softens the effect Of an otherwise
straight coiffure. The hair may be
brushed back and pulled smoothly
over the head, exposing the ears. Be.

long, low roll across the back of the
neck. This arrangement is particu-
larly becoming for a long, thin neck
for which a shingled effect would be
grotesque.
When the hair is fine in texture it
is usually necessary to use brilliantine
or some sort of hair oil to keep it
neat in coifures that depend for their
charm on sickness. Here is a recipe
