Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

We are delighted to print this eX-
cellent advice on the care of prickly
heat. whose disconforts will be suf-
fered shortly by babies who are too
warmly dressed. No matter how
coolly the baby seems to be clothed,
if he has prickly heat he is still too
warm, and still fewer clothes should
be used. Here is what Mother of
Eleven" has to say:
DO not dress baby too warmly.
Sponge the baby several times daily
using about one teaspoon of baking
soda in a basin of warm water. Pat
the skin dry and dust well with rye
-four this can be purchased at any
bakery. Place a small amount of
the flour in a piece of cheese cloth, tie
tightly, and dust the baby well, espe-
cially those parts of the body afflicted
with prickly heat. Be sure to wash
the baby's clothes with pure soap,
scald and rinse twice. never use
bluing or starch for fear of irritating
the skin. If the clothing is hung
dripping wet in the SUN, it keeps
snow white. This is homely advice
from actual experience. 1 hope it
will aid some tortured infant"
Internationally / have never
used the rye flour. but I am sure it
would be fine. Starch used to pow
der the baby is good, too, though
starch in the clothes, as the writer
says, is source of irritation. Babies
have screamed with the irritation of
laces made prickly with starch.
Babies clothes should be soft about
the throat and wrists. If lace is used
it should be fine, and If left unstarched
will not hurt the delicate skin.
Mrs. A. c. N.-When the babys
eye has matter" in the corner this
is indicative of an infection. 1t should
be cleansed every day with boric acid
water and once a day solution Of
argyrol be put in it. Have your doc
tor advise the right strength. If the
baby is creeping this Summer, the
"creepers" are just right for him. as
they keep his underclothes cleaner
and he will look heater and be able
to get around more easily.

Paddy, looking puzzled.

down TO the pond for was bound to
be of interest to Sammy Jay.
'Lightfoot appears TO be frighten-
ed" said Sammy.
Paddy the Beaver nodded. "He has
reason to be-" said he. HE saw those
footprints and he forgot he was
thirsty. l doubt if we shall see Light
foot down here again for some time"
''Those footprints looked to me
good deal like those of Yowler the
Bobcat, only they are bigger" said
Sammy. Are you sure they are not
the footprints of Puma the Panther"
quite sure" replied Paddy. i've
seen the footprints of Puma many
times. Those footprints are much like
Puma's, but they are not his. 1t
wouldn't be half so bad IL we knew
whose footprints they are. 1t is the
uncertainty that makes it so difficult.
Look. There is Yowler the Bobcat
coming along the shore. Let us watch
him."
Sure enough, there was Yowler the
Bobcat Sammy kept absolutely quiet.
Yowler came sneaking along as only
cat can. It was plain that nothing
head now and then and look and
listen. and with his nose he shifted at
everything he passed. lie was not
particularly hungry, but Yowler isn't
one to carelessly pass possible tit
bit in the way of a fat Wood Mouse.
Now and again he stopped TO look
over at Paddy the Beaver. Perhaps he
was thinking of the many times he
had tried to steal up on Paddy while
Paddy was at work cutting trees. FL
nally he came to the muddy place
where the strange footprints were. At
first he started to go around. He
didn't want to get his feet wet. Then,
happening to look down, he saw the
footprints there and he froze right
where he was. That means that he
stood just as still as If he actually
were frozen.
Sammy Jay and Paddy the Beaver,
watching him. saw that presently the
til of his tail began TO twitch. Then
Yowler leaned forward and put his
nose down to those tracks. The way
he acted then was just as if he had
put his nose against something hot.

Shopping for Bridesmaids.

to be a new experience, and puzzling
one. After selecting ones own trou-

necessary duty.
June brides may economic on ma

bilties are chiffon, georgette and
taffeta.
The colors Of the gown will vary
with each brides choice. Some prefer
shaded colors. Light blues can be
ranged from sky blue to bright navy
blue. In selecting colors few brides
plan a rainbow effect with light pastel
shades.
1t is customary for the bride to pro-
vide her maid Of honor and brides
maids with their dresses. In some
cases, however, dresses already pos
sessed by the brides friends may
blend we'll with her plans. Otherwise
it is necessary to have the maids
measured and fitted at either a store
or seamstress' shop. In the latter
case, expense will be real factor.
Usually the maid Of honor Is dressed
in a way to distinguish her easily
from the bridesmaids. 1t is not poor
taste to provide her with a gown of

to visit the art shop where pastels
are sold to realize the wide range in
which they can be secured. There is
really not so much difference in the
colors themselves-only. as the artist

of the pastel itself against the paper

This does not mean that all pastel

Some women seem to feel that just
because these coolrs have been toned

almost indiscriminately--an the re-

Her gown will certainly differ in color

pend on the color scheme and style.
Chiffon or georgette is ideal for

cession taffetas are we'll adapted.
Taste will decide between large leg
horn hats and small transparent hats
or horsehair or tulle. The hosiery and
slippers may either match the dresses

best to buy them all alike. The same
goes for ribbons and bouquets.
