NSTINCTIVELY the new mother knows how
to feed her baby. She offers the breast
and the baby is eager to take il. The
youngster thrives and all IS well.
But after a number Of months there must be
a change Of program. Now it isn't so easy to
know what to do.
A healthy mother is very likely to supply a
sufficient quantity of good milk to nourish the
baby fully for about six months. If all goes
well this is entirely satisfactory to everybody
concerned.
Under ordinary circumstances il is a mistake
to depend exclusively on the breast after six
months. In the Orient it is not m for
the mother to give the breast for another year,
but a North American mother would not do this
because it would be harmful 10 the child and

However, to get a good wave, and to pre-
serve it in all it's sleek naturalness are two quite
different things. Turning and tossing in bed
during sleep spells ruin to the most beautiful
wave unless precautions are taken to keep the
hair from becoming mussed. To fill this need,
some very clever little caps for this purpose have
been placed on the market
These sleeping caps for preserving the
beauty of the wave are somewhat on the principle
of the hair net, in that they spread out very
wide, then shrink back to fit the head after they
are on.
1t takes no time at all to arrange the hair,
slip the cap on and tie it, and the result next
morning is exceedingly satisfying. If a hair
net is used be sure it is pinned securely. A small
safety pin is excellent for pinning together the
