Small Boy Clothes
Smart and Sensible

At shop where smart clothes are
sold for young boys 1t is q pleasure TO
see how much fashions for these young
men have improved within recent years.
1t is really quite possible now to get
clothes for the 10 or n year-old boy
that satisfy him and at the same time
come up to your own requirements.
For boys up to IL there are white
linen shorts-'very shorts" you might
call them-and with them your young
hopeful wears short-slceved, open
necked sports shirt and, when weather
requires it. a bright striped flannel
blazer.
Many boys prefer these shorts to
knickers as long as they can wear them,
but for those who do not there are white
or Manufactured linen knickers worn
with neglige white shirt and a pull
over sweater In diamond jacquard pat
tern very light of weight. This Is the
favorite sports and everyday Summer
ensemble for many boys from 9 to 10.
For rather dressed-up daytime wear
the boy from Z to Is may wear an un-
lined navy, brown or gray flannel coat
over shirt with collar and tie. The
younger lad may wear this with hiS
short white linen trousers while the
older boy selects straight flannel trousers
in white or gray The flannel sport
coat is not, believe, correctly worn
with knickers. If You make the rule
| that your boys should always wear a
| coat for dinner-if and when weather
permits-one of these thin unlined fan
mel coats with light trousers will doubt
less satisfy your own demands for for
nality and his for comfort.
| Then there are suits of gray or navy
flannel consisting OF jacket and either
| Knockers or long trousers which 90 not
include vest, and for younger boys
there are flannel shorts in white flannel
or navy blue or buff to be worn with
pull-over sweaters of horizontal stripes

Sewing Kits for Long Journeys
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

UT Is a good deal easier to take
the stitch In time that saves nine
If YOU have always at hand the
implements for taking that stitch.
An accessible case for needles and
thread, scissors and thimble often
means the difference between q mended
hole and a neglected one.
| 1t is possible to make all sorts oil
! interesting work bags and work boxes
and work baskets. Some women flnd
nothing so convenient as wide, open
basket. lined with cotton fabric or some
sort that can occasionally be taken out
and washed. In this sort of open bas-
ket all the sewing implements are easily
at hand. where they can be seen with
/ out confusion.
| Some women prefer capacious work
| bag. in which mending and mendlng
| implements both may be kept. Such
| bag is fitted with various small COM
partments around the inside for hold
ing scissors and needles, threads and
darning ball.
Then there is the work box-some-
times of wood sometimes of paSteboard,
cretonne or silk covered. 1t is some
times small enough to tuck away in
corner of the bureau drawer, sometimes
large enough to be a legitimate part
of the furniture.
There are many very small contriv-
anceS for holding sewing materials, and
one of these is a great convenience to
have on hand for travelling The small
or it is, so long as 1t is large enough
to hold all your sewing implements, the
better. 1t must be small enough to tuck
away in the suit case or overnight bag
Sometimes there are tiny sewing kits
that will even go in the handbag--com-
plete with two or three needles, thin
BILE. and several little reels of thread.
An acceptable going-away gift for
the friend leaving for Europe would be
one of the small sewing kits that can
easily be packed into suit case or hand
bag. It should be uSefully equipped,
with everything that could be needed
for mending, If it is to be of greatest
service to your travelling friend. You
can buy tiny spools containing different
shades of darning cotton, ranging
through the usual gray and beige
shades There should be spools of
black. white, dark blue and brown sew
ing silk, for gloves and general mend
ing. A few small snappers might be
included. needles, thimble, scissors, and
any other little odds and ends you may
think of.
You can make pretty silk bag and
equip it with these things yourself. A
width of wide ribbon overhanded to
six-inch double circle of cardboard COW
cred with silk, with drawstring in the
top, makes serviceable, presentable,
neat little workbag.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
My, my-just wait until tell you OF
the funny turn in the eigth-hour day
of this bride last Wednesday.
You see, on Tuesday, went to tea
bridge. And at the tea table all the
girls-they had all been married a year
or more except me--were talking about
the things that their husbands did
around the house to help them. 1t was
wonderfully illuminating.
1t seems that all seven of them had
husbands who washed or wiped dishes
or put the washing through the washer
or ran the vacuum sweeper on cleaning
day or something.
I felt perfectly ridiculous having to
admit that Michael did none Of those
things, especially when Celeste said with
that horrid way she has Of talking
through her eyebrows. why, my dear
And you've only been married month"
Just as though Michael didn't care
much about me!
So that evening I said to Michael,
Michael, dear, want to help me wipe
dishes?" Then we can start reading lots
earlier"
Michael looked at me sideways, but
he took the towel and he wiped the

THE DAILY

Monday, July 8.

Astrologers read tomorrow as rather
an uncertain day in planetary govern
ment, and for this reason IL is well
to be careful in all th.sss.
1t is not an encouraging sway fer
those who deal with banks or seek
financial settlements.
While this rule prevails, the stars
favor all who have succeeded more than
those who are still struggling,
Drawn rather than brain should ben
eft by this rue of :he planets, which
fa2ors workers.
1t is not day suspicious for plan
ming or for interesting persons in
schemes Of any sort.
Aviation is not well directed by the
stars while this conhgu' alton prevails.
There will be marvellous development
in aerial navigation before the close Of

This is read as a lucky day Tor the

1t Is not an suspicious sway under
which to make new ventures, and i'm
portant initiative should be delayed.
Again astrologers announce strong
reactionary tendencies In dress as we'll

Domestic interest is To be stimulated

Modern Woman Irked by Complexities
Of Dietetics Finds Middle Course Best

reasonably healthy, yet, she admitted,
no healthier than her own mothers
family had been-and her mother had
known nothing about diet, and had
cared less.
Perhaps the old saying that a little
knowledge is dangerous. thing applies
TO this woman. Stiil think that even
the most knowing students Of diet must
sometimes have miSgivings and must
season all their knowledge with a goodly
sprinkle of common sense.
OF one thing am convinced-and
that is that even though most house.
wives have to work rather gropingly.
progressing not always in a definite
straightforward course, the standard of
diet has immeasurably improved in this
country since women began to take an
interest In dietetics. Children are bet
ter i1ourished as general thing and
adults suffer less from indigestion.
There is certainly advantage to be
gained from reading books and articles
on diet, even though some of them may
be written by alarmists and faddists.
What friends have to say concerning
the remarks on diet given by doctors
and specialists should have little weight
because Of the inability of most per-
sons TO quote a doctor correctly and
because dietary regulations given to one
individual may not have any bearing
OF your case.
Another bit Of advice that you your
self may not need is this: When you
read book or an article on diet, read
it through. Don't be satisfied with
sratchee that may be misleading. Know
something about the reputation and
work OF the supposed authority before
you place reliance in the dicta he pro-
nOunceS
Then in planning your own twenty
one meals week distinguish between
healthy, active persons and those whose
age or condition may make special
diet advisable. Remember that a large
number OF cases OF indigestion and
nlalnutrition come from careless, in
expert cooking. The wrong kind of
food very well cooked is likely to do
less harm than the right kind of food
badly cooked. The most difficult cases
that some doctors have to deal with
troubles and living in families where
food Is poorly cooked.
Remember the importance Of well
balanced diet-which Is nothing more
nor less than a fairly wide variety.
Normal persons require fruits and vege-
tables, some Embellishments and
cereals--and some proteinS--fneat, egg,
| fish and milk products. They also need
/ fate--begt In the form of butter-~and
\ some sugar. Very few persons suffer

1t was true And was beaten. But
it seems to take some of the JOY out of

BADLY.
So, If any of your friends are wiping
dishes for their wives, you'll know that
their wires aren't the new-fashioned
independent ones And that the men
