New York, July :4.-Long before
the first leaves begin to fall. wo-
mems heads are occupied with what
they will put on them for autumn
millinery.
Fall hats are decidedly new.
They turn their backs on the sum-
mer's mode. For by their back
line can you tell fall hat when
you see it this season.
Just as the smartest gowns are
concentrating OH individuality in
the back treatment, hats follow
suit. might say. to that the
longer. sweeping peacock backline
OF gowns has gone to Milady's
head! For all the best hats that
have brims, let them slant decid-
eddy downward in the back.
Trimmings Are New
Fronts may be more or less the
same, as much brim as a woman's
face can stand nicely. Sides are
apt to flare. as the panier gown
flares. Trimmings bring into play
gadgets that formerly were used
exclusively on frocks. such as but
tons. tassels. and kerchief effects.
The ubiquitous felt seems to be
with us again. But in such new.
soft guise that it seems almost a
silken thing. The summers vogue
for straw put felts on their mettle.
The ballibuntl and other favorite
straws accustomed women TO
featherweight hats. The new felts
are light in weight and exceeding
ly beautiful in fabric.
Fall colors are apt to have
either tannish or blue hues in
them. Reds border on shades that
: blend nicely with browns. Greys

is most enhancing to blondes.

For the Parents
Quality of Ice Cream Given
Children Important.

A wise mother will be absolutely
certain of the quality of ice cream
she allows her children to eat. That
made from heavy cream is too rich
for young children.
Sherbets made from fruit juice,
as lemon. orange. raspberry. grape
or cherry. or junket, cocoa ice
cream or a frozen custard made OF
milk and eggs are much more suit
able. advises Children, a Magazine
for Parents
But since frozen desserts always
contain more sugar than those
thickenad with eggs. gelatine or
starch. they should not be
given more than once or twice a
week to little children. On the
other hand cool but not iced drinks
may be given freely. They should
be quite diluted and contain as
little sugar as can be used to make
them palatable.
The amount Of a childs allow
ance should be determined by his
age and individual needs. The Civ
ing or Withholding of an allowance
should never be used as means
Of discipline.
A boy who is inclined to hrag
will not be curbed by reproof. That
will only repress him and perhaps
do permanent injury to his Develop
ing talents. But if he can be gotten
to see the fine manliness and mod
esty of his bosom friends. he will
himself try to be like the boy he
admires. 1t takes close compan-
| ionship with son and his friends
to do this. however.
Hearing about swimming and
watching other people swim will
never teach a boy or girl the art
OF swimming. We learn to swim
by doing it. We learn to play the
violin by playing it. So if children
are to learn unselfishness they
must be given a chance to practice

1t ts churned about in the stomach
The stomach and intestines, which
move the food along. require
something tangible to take hold
of. For this reason it is necessary
to have some indigestible matter
Of roughage in the diet TO aid di.
eestion. This need is met by the
leafy vegetables. fruits and nuts.
However. too much roughage
may be irritating and should be
avoided. The action of the stomach
juices is dependent on the pres
ence of acid secreted by the cells
of the stomach wall. The action
in the intestines is alkali.
The acid secretion is necessary
to digest protein substances. A
diet too high in starch and sugar
reduces acidity and interferes with
protein digestion.

champs. They have described in

BY THE ZITENEIELD TWINS
swim for Health is a good slo-
gan.
But if YOU really want to be q
good swimmer, you must watch
your health habits.
We are often asked what We
give up for swimming. We do not
give up much because We have
been trained for swimming Tor SO
long time now that We have
never gotten started on many of
the things We should not have.
Sweets are forbidden. We never
eat candy. We seldom eat any
sweets at all. Salads. all green
vegetables. lots OF milk and all
the health giving foods are on our
diet. But acids and sweets are
forbidden.
Smoking is hard on the SWIM
mer. 1t shortens his breath. And
of course if one takes up swirl
ming seriously. he Will never
drink. For alcohol might have
very injurious effects on one.

May prove a blessing in disguise.
Peter Rabbit
Whitley the white coated little son
OF Peter Rabbit. had been put in a
pen in the farmyard by Farmer
Browns Boy. OF course. that meant
that he was a. prisoner. At first
Whitley had felt this, All he could
think about was getting away. He
had tried to dig his way out and
found that that wire went clear
way in under the ground and he
couldn't get under it. He had tried
biting it, but it wouldn't bite, SO he
soon gave that up.
In few days. however, he began
to like his new home. In the first
place. there was always plenty TO
eat. and while he Was eating he
didn't have to stop and look and
listen between bites. He was safe all
the time. 1t was delightful feeling.
And then there was the food itself.
Never had he had such food in the
dear Old Brian patch. So Whitley be-
came fairly contented. If not truly
happy. he certainly wasn't unhappy.
From the very first he had visi-
tors. All the feathered folk in the
Old Orchard came over TO have a
look at him. Bowser the Hound used
to come around every day. At first
this frightened Whitley, but he soon
discovered that while that wire kept
him in il kept Bowser out. Then,
too. Bonser was friendly. He SEEM
ed TO understand Whitey's situation.
1t was about a week after Whitley
had come up there TO live in Farm
er Browns tarmyard that one
moonlight night Whitley was sitting
outside his little house when he
heard soft footsteps, Just outsId" th..
wire OF his pen. He looked and for
a moment had Il dreadful fright
You see, not two feet away was

That look made Whitley SILVER. Then
he remembered III" wire that was
between them and right away he
felt better. Reddy came up and
shifted. He ran all around the pen.
He Jumped zip on 1T. lie Jumped
down again. He tried to dig i'm from
one side and then from the other
and in the end he had to give up, 1t
was then that Whitley began to feel
