In choosing the new food for the
breast fed baby it is wise to keep IN
mind that milk will be his standby for
the next 10 years at least. and he may
as well be accustomed to it at first, as
to wean to another food and then have
to change to cows milk later. This is

months she: may cling sentimentally

pendent upon her. She may think that

be started the ninth month. and at
least the tenth. has been made because
1t was found that babies nursed longer
than this showed signs of malnutrition.
The milk. though apparently abundant,
failed to contain the element necessary
for perfect development.
Indications for weaning often crop
up much sooner than the mother eN-
poets, and she fails to recognize them
as such. She writes urgently: What

all night without nursing is now waking

The Back of the Couture

In the days when eoifTures were eIab-
crate structures Of putIs, curis and lofty
pompadours. there was wider scope for
the hairdresser's ingenuity than there is
today, but milady still continues 10 de-
mand a variety in the arrangement Of
her abbreviated tressos.
The much h-heralded return OF long hair
has brought new opportunities for giv-
ing individuality 10 coiffures, especial
~ In the treatment OF the back hair
The front OF the seasons coifiures Is
not different from last years or that
Of the year before. but the back, instead
Of being shingled. is given a distinctively
feminine touch by the use OF pufTs or
small coils Of milady's own hair
The back Of the coiffure was always
a more difflcult problem than the front
on account Of the short hairs that grow
at the nape OF the neck. When these
hairs curl naturally in soft ringlets there
is nothing more charming, but when
they are straight and stid through much
pruning with the clippers they should
be concealed as deftly as possible.
Three ways OF arranging miladys Golf
fure in the back are illustrated above
The girl with small, regular features
and a skul that is well rounded behind
