Unless one Is thoroughly familiar with

Prickly heat Is a certain indication

The areas favored by the rash (Which
feels prickly to the hand) are those por-
tons of the body which are kept warm

the back and stomach and chest. The
redeemed skin can be washed frequently
with soda water, which can be allowed

with equal parts of sugar and water in
which three or four ripe plums are
boiled rapidly. Strain this strip over

Six O'Clock on a Hot Day

drunk a bit, he will feel so refreshed
that he will probably want to take
time to get ready for dinner-chahge
into cooler, fresh clothes. So you are
going to have plenty of time to get
dinner. Have it as least an hour after
this little tea party so he will have
his appetite back.
And what for dinner? Well, nothing
heavy like a roast. Nothing that re-
quires long cooking, like a stew. You
don't want to heat your house all up
by having the oven or the burners
going all day. If the members of your
family are good salad eaters you are
fortunate because there Is nothing that
so hits the spot on hot day as Q
good, cold salad.
Fish salads have plenty of body and
may well be the main course-tuna fish,
salmon or leftover fish such as white
fish, halibut or fillets of haddock or
sole. These all combine with celery,
peas, pickles and olives to make reg
ular dinner.
A vegetable salad, using tomatoes,
cucumbers, green peppers, raw carrots,
cabbage and radishes, is fine at this
time Of year. Fruit salads are good
now, but may not be quite filling
enough to satisfy the family for the
main dish. Chicken and sweetbreads

main dish salads.
But if your family is one of those
that have to be urged to eat salad,
have cold meat and creamed potatoes,
perhaps. Or have potato chips heated
quickly in the oven. Or some sort Of
meat that can be quickly broiled-
chops or steak.
For dessert have something cool but
fllling, especially If you have encouraged
light eating in the beginning Of the
meal. A fresh fruit pie with ice cream
will bring a smile to the most tired
of the faces. Fresh fruit cobblers are
just the thing now when there are so
many fruits and berries on the market.
Fresh fruit shortcakeS are also in order.
Homemade ice cream or sherbet with

women nowadays is to look attractive
all the time.
This. at least, is the opinion of an
observing young girl of ID, who Is
firmly convinced that the girls now
adayS take a much more sensible at
titude toward dress generally than did
their mothers.
Perhaps she rather exaggerates the
difference, but there really is a ten
high standard of appearance all
the time nowadays and not to be con-
tent with merely looking smart and
attractive on occasions.
It was Anatole France, think,
who said that it was more than q
man should expect of a woman to
look charming all the time. He should
be content II now and then she SEEM
ed really beautiful. But the average
f1ances-is not so reasonable as the
great Franch writer. And most of
them. the younger generation has
found, rather prefer the sort of girl
who always looks attractive and suit
ably dressed to the girl who on &C.

one of the things that make short

en- in spite Of repeated shifts in the
other direction is that short hair Is

Perhaps there is an underlying diff

generation ago rather expected that

Slipper Dyed Like Frock

French shoemakers blazed the trail
for the rest Of the world in dyeing
fabric shoes to match the gowns with
which they we're to be worn. Before
that in order to have slippers Of indi-
vidual coloring 1t was necessary to go
through the long and troublesome pro-
cedure of having them made to order
from the dress material, which was not
always suitable for shoes. 1t was de-
cided step forward to dye the shoes
after they had been made-but for some
time it was still too expensive propo-
sition to be Of much interest to the
average woman.
Now it is possible almost everywhere
to have shoes dyed to order-not only
at the expensive shoe shops, but at the
shops that cater to the woman on a
close fitting dress allowance as well.
1t is possible now to get specially dyed
shoes In figured effect. The material
used Is sometimes silk and cotton bro
cade, taking advantage OF the fact that

It's high time that self -expression"
be distinguished from license"
There Is O distinct difference, as we
know, between liberty and license.
There is the same difference between
self-expresson and license in child
training.
Liberty in government means free
dom under law-moral, social and
political law. License knows no law and
does not respect the rights Of others.
The same code is applicable to our
freedom, but freedom under law-home
law-whtch represents the three ethical
ones Of his elders. Any liberty that in
fringes on those laws or disturbs the
rights Of others, outside or inside the
house, Is license. And license has no
place in child training. The most rabid
advocate Of Self-expresSion and individ-
ualistic development In children will
grant you that.
have observed the tolerance of a
certain pair of parents toward a pair
Of little girls recently with increasing
interest. These parents are backed up
by an equally complacent grandmother.
No one outside the family so far has
had the necessary nerve to point out to
them the folly of their child training
methods. And the parents are going
serenely on running the children. Spoil
ing" Is too mild a word.
They talk quite happily about self
expression. Their children are going
to grow up without any inhibitions or
any completes whatsoever! They may
60 .withersoever the spirit leads them,
and do whatsoever they may wish, and
some day they will be full OF self.con-
fdence and sweetness and health. No
nerves, no terrible fear complex, no
well, mo nothing!
Never q word about must" or
mustn't" never q hint about obedience,
not q mention of the rights Of other
people. Never word about duty.
Already the two children are so self
confident and uninhibited and unpro-
hibited. that every one who comes in
contact with them declares that they're
the worlds worst nuisances.
One day their mother gave a party.
And what an enjoyable affair 1t was
not!
Both children were present and held
the floor practically the entire after
noon. One persisted In examining at
close quarters all the ladies' jewelry.
Guests had to take of rings, hand over
bracelets and resist efforts to unbuckle
their precious wrist watches. They made
polite but persistent efforts to get back
pearl chains, a dozen Of which adorned
the small neck Of the eight-year-old,
and tried to keep their tempers and
tongues under control at the same time.
The child ducked and squirmed and
finally shouted with rage when one

Hot days are here. Dog days are
coming. Six o'clock and time for the
man of the house to come home. You
know how hot he is going to be. but
what are you going to do about it?
What can a woman do to make her
husband feel cool and comfortable and
unutterably happy as soon as he steps
into his own house?
Wen. there are several things.
When you run to meet your husband.
don't carry that hot, kitcheny, worried
look that you simply can't help dom
ming at times. Wash your hands in
cool water and battle and powder your
face before he comes. You may not
realize the difference it will make to
MIN to see q nose free from per-
spiration and feel q hand that isn't
feverish or moist.
Then wear cool-looking clothes.
Wear white If you have it and white
shoes and stockings. But whether It
Is white or green or pink, let it be
cool looking.
Then about the children, supposing
that there are such. Even if 1t means
some extra work, get them freshly
dressed and washed for dinner. It
will make you and your husband both
feel better and it viii make the chill
dren more comfortable and thus better
behaved.
Now about food. OF course, your
husband Is hungry But he is also
hot and tired. That means that he
isn't In condition to enjoy the dinner
you have ready. So on hot days don't
serve dinner Immediately. Have ready
pitcher Of ice lemonade. Or any
other iced drink that your family par
ticularly likes.
And always have a little something
to eat with the drink. Nothing much.
You don't want to spoil his dinner,
remember. Have some plain crackers.
Or some cheese tidbits. Or a few
thin slices Of bread, buttered. Or some
small, uniced cakes Or some plain
cookies, not too sweet.

There's a Way to
Clean Anything

If you have a pair of gray suede shoes
that have become soiled, a little per-
manganate Of potash dissolved in wa
ter and applied to the shoes will turn
them a beautiful shade Of brown, max
ing them look like new.
When dihiculty is experienced In
cleaning a milk bottle into which a
cloth cannot pass. add q handful Of
sand to the water and shake well.
Rinse with clean water and place the
bottle neck downward to dry.
One teaspoon Of salt to a pint Of
water makes an excellent strengthen
ing and antiseptic gargle. If you are
tired, you will find that salt In your
bath is a good tonic, and II your feet
are tired, soak them in salt and water.
There is nothing like bicycle pump
for removing dust from hooks and
crannies where 1t may lurk in spite OF
dustcloth and brush.
Old stockings make the best floor

House Book Is
A Pleasant Record

If you have a house you should
have q house book.
The fad began in England, where
for many years the owners Of some of
the fine old houses kept these books as
records of the events that took place.
The house book should have record
of all large or important parties held
in your house. and, If you like. the
signatures of guests of honor and of
house guests-though those who enter
tain great deal have a. separate book
for the signatures of all who pass a
night under their roof.
Photographs are used in some house
books to record the happenings of the
house. A snapshot of the front Of the
house after an unusually picturesque
snowstorm would give better record of
the storm than would be possible in any
other way

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Linked with every season are the
seemingly unacceptable features charac-
teristic of 1t. If we rush to the Seashore
to keep cool we find ourselves and the
children suffering from sunburn, due
to our short-lived memory that one can
be sunburned even If the sun hides
under a cloud and the air is cool.
If we go to picnicS to escape the
monotony of hot meals, we bring back a
choice collection of mosquito bites with
which to furnish activity for the next
few days. A seemingly harmless week
end In the country, with q change Of
food and water and an accompaniment
OF mental exhilaration may, for those
susceptible, result in a crop of hideous
and itching hives that terrify us into
the conclusion that we have acquired
some awful disease.
Prickly heat (Which for some I'M
known reason usually shows up on cool
days. is a common aillnent of small
children whose mothers can't be con-
WINGED that they don't need wool In
order to protect them from Summer
complaint or the disorders of teething.
Obviously, ones troubles are merely
changed in type when one goes vaca-
tioning.
Accepting them as a Summer load,
perhaps we may find ways in which the
poor victim may be relieved.
The presence Of ample sunlight Is one
of Summers assets until we try to get
our entire Summers supply in one day.
A five-minute sun bath for the baby, or
fifteen minutes for the adult in bathing
suit Is quite enough for the first day,
and the exposure should be so gradual
thereafter that the skin Is never red
dened and burned. but slowly darkened
The Drowned skin has its own peculiar
protection from the suns rays so that
one may then gambol about without any
danger of being burned. Oiling the skin
first will lessen its tendency to burn, as
most of the devotees to the brown skin
have discovered.
II an injudicious sun bath results In
burning, this burn should be treated ex-
actly as any other, the skin literally
covered with oil or lard, or cold cream
or one of the paedicated salves advised
for burns. The extensive burn is a
serious matter, whether suffered from
the sun or any other producer Of heat
Every wanderer in the woodland OF
by sylvan lakes had best arm himself
with a 6Ottle of spirits Of ammonia, or
a bottle of diluted household ammonia

presence of mosquitoes. Later the bite

prevent itching, and menthol salves OF

for this purpose.

White and Black
Favored in Paris

An American abroad comments on
the different impression to be received
from a smart evening assemblage in
France and in England. In England the
impression is one of pastel tones-with
q predominance of soft blues at the
present time. In France the impress
Sion is one of more marked contrast
always q significant number Of very
well dressed women in black, o number
in all white, and just OF present enough
ali-green evening gowns to make this
color stand out in the picture.
Another comment that this observant
young American makes is that among
Americans in Paris 1t is always easy to
classify them either as belonging to
the English type or the French, as far
as choice of dress is concerned. There
are always certain Americans to whom
the trick Of dressing in truly Partisan
manner seems to come as second nature.

A MEXICAN women who could af-
" ford long holiday-and who
"A perhaps owned or rented a
4 \ house, cottage or bungalow at
some favorite spot far from
town-used to be faced with the prob
lem OF deciding whether this home from
home should be at the mountains or
at lake or seaside. A growing number
of women don't decide it at all any
more The only thing they have to de-
eide is whether they shall spend the
last weeks of June and July in the
mountains or hills and August and part
OF September at the shore, or whether
they will start the season of with lake
side and surf bathing and arrange to
have the more stimulating mountain
climate later in the season.
One advantage of choosing to spend
August at the store is that in choosing
your beach wardrobe you don't have to
try to find out what is likely to be
worn, you simply have to inquire what
Is being worn by the best best dressed
women and then fall in line with the
established mode.
Lakeside and Seashore fashions are
growing more and more interesting.
The broad stretches of the beach offer
an admirable place for carrying out
ones ideas in smartnesS. The strong
clear light of cloudless day gives an
ideal atmosphere for clear, strong, vivid
colors, just as the softer light Of hazy
day shows to perfection the charms Of
pastel tones. Women with a keen love
for color and sense Of discrimination
about the way they use 1t look forward
to the weeks they spend at the shore
with especial interest
There is a type of two-piece bathing
costume that has been much favored
in this country as well aS abroad at
smart watering places this Summer. It
has been made with distinction by
Lucien Lelong as well as other impor-
tant French dreSSmakers, who have
come to realize that in the wardrobe Of
we'll dressed women nowadays the
bathing costume provides as good an
opportunity for the display of a de-
signerS skill as an evening gown or
street ensemble.
This costume has been described as
consisting of foundation garment
similar to child's romper with a skirt
sewn on a little below the normal waist
line. Both Knockers and skirt are quite
short. To wear with this is a collar
less coat that comes just to the knees.

these two types Of thread take the color
in a somewhat different manner.
Sometimes the brocade pattern is de-
yeloped in dull and lustrous effect, which
shows up even after the slippers have
been dyed. Then there are brocades
with the pattern worked out in silver
threads which are not affected at all by
the dyeing process.
At some Of the shops 1t is possible
to have white crepe silk slippers with
binding Of gold or silver kidskin dyed to
order Evidently the kid is as unsus-
ceptible to the dye as the silver threads
Sometimes there are futuristic patches
Of metal-dyed kidskin on the quarter
