Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

A mother can't be kept from pushing
the development Of her babies. Take
the matter of sitting up. She wonders
from the time the baby is three months
old how soon shescan prop him up with
pillows. She feels that she must do
this in order to give him lesson In
sitting up. Or she may go to the OPP
posite extreme and insist on baby lying
fiat on his back, even when he Is so
strong and healthy that given even
one finger he win make the most heroic
efforts to sit up.
Mothers need to keep in mind that
babies come into the world equipped to
sit up when they have been fed so as
to develop normally. In fact, nothing
short Of straps Will hold them down.
They strain and pull, holding on to
the sides Of their buggies or cribs. they
clutch at hands or dresses and try
to pull themselves up. This stage ar
rives with the healthy baby at 4 or
5 months, though he Is not always
able to support his back, without tum-
bling over, until about months OF age
After that he can sit as straight as a
poker without thing to support him.
There is never o time, at any age,
when it seems advisable to prop UP a
baby with pillows. The desire to do
this Is born in the adult because she
4nld6A1Co btlC UdOy IluSL just 1--we u 10
this. It isn't the desire to look around
him that motivates baby in wanting
to sit up, 1t Is the sensation 1t gives his
muscles. Muscles have a desire to be
active, just as nerves have a desire to
act. Baby gets distinctly pleasur-
able sensation from sitting up and he
begins to try his luck at this from the
day when his mother turns him over on
her knee and he lifts his heavy head.
That is the first exercise, which later
will result in his ability to hold his
back straight without support.
AS soon as he shows that he has the
strength to sit alone, he should be given
some exercise in this direction. Let
him hold your hands and pull himself
up and sit on the bed few moments.
Let him sit erect on some ones lap.
Then at the first sign of fatigue he can
lie down fiat instead of being compelled
to keep on sitting up, as would happen
II his back were padded out with pillows.
If it is long past the time when he
should be sitting erect and baby is still
unable to accomplish this, the fault lies
In his food. He needs change Of diet,
noe that will provide him with the bone
making materials that are obviously
lacking.

Everyday Psychology
Superstitions.
BIT DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Superstitions.
It is well nigh impossible for Q per-
son to be entirely free from supersti-
tons. For explanation Of them we usu-
ally fall back upon the psychology Of
primitive people or of children. And
then we assume that so far as we are
superstitious, Just to that extent have
our remote ancestors stuck by us or
just so far are we still operating on
childish mental processes.
There are two kinds of superstitions.
One kind comes by way of social inherit
lance: the other by way Of personal
and individual imagination.
The FIRST class includes left-overS
from primitive life or from childhood.
Those of the second variety are vastly
hang over from the race or from our i'm
mature years. They are our own men,
tai projectionS-excuses for our own
lack Of luck.
The owner Of a shoe store made lot
of money during and Immediately after
the late World War. Then came the
inevitable business slump and with 1t
the Joss of all his savings. His only ex-
PLANTATION was: II don't believe any Of
that war money is any good"
Here was a superstition, pure and
simple-the sort that we create for our
selves In the course Of our experience
with everyday affairs.
Two things, and two alone, will ac-
count for the creation and acceptance
OF personal superstitions on the part OF
any reflective person.
The first is the perpetual existence Of
an invisible universe. The second Is 9
projection of the sense of self into that
invisible universe. Out of this condition
and In consequence Of our mental search
for causes comes our short-circuited
conclusion that some invisible power,
like our powerful selves but only more
powerful than we, has entered.
No facts are at hand to guide our
thinking. We simply make q scapegoat
out of the first outstanding thing that
accompanies the situation, and lay the
blame on that. And so We create our
superstitions.
For the shoe dealer 1t was the war,
and nothing more.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, September 4.
(N.AN.A) The most bitter rivalry In
Hollywood is not being waged between
two beautiful screen actresses.
No repetition of the Pola Negri-Glor1a
Swanson battle for queen Of the village
stirs local professional circles.
If rumor is to be credited, Georges
Carpenter is spending more sleepless
nights worrying whether he will be able
to put Maurice Chevalier in the shade
when the Carpenter talkie Is given TO
the public than ever a jealous beauty
spent over a rival fair.
Chevalier a debonair troubadour OF
Paris, smiled and sang and shrugged
his way into the hearts of the American
public. He is the incarnation of gaiety;
he Is the apotheosis Of charm; he brings
romance to a world fretted by columns
Of figures and problems OF time and
other harassments of modern living.
He fulfllls the clean, wholesome en-
tertainment" bill without having the
sappy quality of much so-called clean
wholesomeness. And he creates the
aura of youth and the essence OF
Sprinetime romance, although not q
youth by any means himself.
Carpenter comes to the village de-
termined to hold his own with that
feminine world which has always bent
the knee before him. A pulchritudinous
ring champion, he has compelled the
alteration of the opposite sex by reason
of a lucky blending Of strength and
beauty.
He's taking no chances on the beauty.
A remodeled nose was one OF his first
steps toward insuring himself against
the cruel camera eye.
We 60 in for such things here on a
grand scale. On one OF our main
streets there is a beautorium whose ia
cade carries huge colored picture Of
lady In Greek robes gazing at the sky
with fresh and youthful countenance
while she holds her old and wrinkled
face in her hand as nonchalantly as II
1t were q carpet bag.
Bald-headed men have fringes Of hair
sewed along the foreheadS, the better
to hide the toupee line. Women's cheeks
are tucked into position, pouches are
removed from beneath the eyes, and Q
general facial overhauling is given all
for stated fees.
But when Louis Wolheim got tbs
craze he nearly lost his contract. There

Brown i'm Color Combinations
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Autumn coat is to think of it as part
of a street ensemble. This you may
do by matching 1t In color and tone
with the suit or dress which you ex-
pect to wear most often during the
Autumn. II you select brown coat
you can quite easily make a simple
skirt from lightweight tweed to match
the coat and this may be worn with
sweaters or blouses.
Brown may be effectively and smart
ly combined with green and the brown
and black combination is decidedly
smart. If, however, you have set your
heart on wearing navy blue, then you
should resist the temptation to buy a
brown scat.
"I cannot afford to buy q fur coat
this season, but have thought quite q
little about buying cloth coat with
fur lining. Are coats Of this sort IN
good style and do you think that the
would certainly advise good cloth
coat lined with fur in preference to a
cheap fur coat. However, If you can
not afford a good fur-lined coat l
would advise cloth coat with hne
cloth lining which may be bought in
good quality for less than a fur-lined
coat. The fur-lined coats are not
bulky as the thinnest pelts are used,
the new stenciled kid fur being extern
sively used this season.
If you are making any Autumn
dresses of silk or wool am sure you
will want to know how to make the
new band trimming used by French
dressmakers in their latest creations.
1t is very simple and costs nothing-as
It is made from scraps of material.
