Develop Child's
Taste With Care

Get the child in the habit of eating
vegetables by rotating the vegetables
he does like. Never serve one liked
vegetable to the exclusion of others, as
this VIII sometimes create distaste for
that one vegetable which is hard to
overcome.
While you are on the liked vegetables.
occasionally have the vegetable that is
disliked. Do not, force the child to eat
it. but urge him to try 1t. If you hap
pen to give it to him some time when
he is favorably disposed toward tt
some time when he is hungry and the
vegetable is especially davorsome-
may establish a lasting fondness for it.
But remember that there are cer-
tain vegetables for which certain per-
sons have what really amounts to q
constitutional antipathy.
The vegetable fiavors are very strong,
and you know yourself that II you dis
like parsnips or turnips or cabbage, for
instance, It would be very much like
torture to have to eat them.
. In general. keep child from acquir-
ing an inordinate fondness for meat.
1t Is an easy thing to let child get
in the meat-eating habit Often a
child's turning from vegetables and milk
dates from the time meat Is introduced
into the diet.
So long as he can get meat that pos
sesses SO much more favor than the
other things he win take 1t to the ex-
clusion Of them.

this there are days when the baby acts
as If he had never before heard YOU
tell him that he is not to play with
the gas jets, but with his own small

rhymes over and over, to say a dozen
times: That is a cat" but if she tells
the baby twice that he isn't to touch

these things in order to torment the

he discovers such activities cause her
to be "perturbed"
1t would be interesting if We could
note the confusion in the mind Of a
child, for what we demand of him must
seem so impossible if he is to live at all.

his muscles are itching to climb. Don't

when he tries to pull high one into

learns is that we consider him perfect

most desirable course he can follow is

Because We cannot allow baby to de-

provide him with toys that replace
them. His muscles are demanding &C.

BIG Houses and Little Work

Did that housewife have more work?
No, indeed. She had less. For when
place is all cluttered up as her other
library was it is almost impossible to
keep it looking spack and span. One
has to move practically everything in
the room to give the sweeper q chance.
But in the new. large house there was
room to breathe. There was also room
to sweep. And room to keep things put
away.
The cooking things had plenty of
space to spread out. The books were
uncrowded and none of the furniture
looked too big for its space. Policing
up in the morning came to be q part
OF simple routine, and the house had
always a well dressed, we'll kept appear
ance.
Small homes and apartments are all
right until you have accumulated too
much stuff" They are also all right
II you haven't many books, papers,
magazines or collections. But they are
the bane of the existence of the family
that likes to spread out and keep its
treasures tidily.
Now, on the other hand too large a
house is a nuisance. You don't want to
have to wash woodwork in rooms that
are seldom used. Have only so large a
house as you actually use, no more.
After all. home is meant to be lived
in not merely furnished.

In fact, the mechanism Of your nose,

imperative.
And remember this-those hairs
should never be plucked out. If they

Autumn as it is at present.
Her new evening gown is Of pastel

spending her own money she chose a

have been the advice of her mother,

woman should choose her own best

~ UTTING your daughter on o
dress allowance is something
like giving her latch key. and
i you probably take both steps re-
luctantly. If she has a latch
key then you don't have to sit up to
let her in or arrange to have q maid sit
up for her. but YOU may lie In bed
restlessly watching the hands on your
radium dial, wondering. when you will
hear her come in.
If you put her on definite dress al
lowance, you don't have to grow pre-
maturely gray and wrinkled trying to
select things that she will be willing
to wear and that you approve; you
don't have to juggle with figures to see
how you can buy q really presentable
Spring coat and suit and frocks and
hats and still have enough left for the
numerous little accessories that are
necessary to her own happiness and at
tractive appearance. But you may add
q wrinkle or two and a few white hairs
wondering how in her vast inexperience
she can solve these problems herself.
There are girls who really don't want
TO have a dress allowance. Not that
they are not entirely convinced that
their taste is better than their mothers
or that they doubt for a minute their
ability to pick and choose and run down
bargains, but they shrewdly reason that
in the end there viii be more spent for
them if mother holds the purse.
But any way you look at it, any girl
with ordinary good sense ought to be
trusted with a dress allowance, at least
as soon as she is trusted with Q latch
key. And most girls, I find, rise to the
responsibility amazingly well and show
good judgment and taste in their selec-
tons. The girl Of 10 or 20 is usually
much more deeply and intelligently in
terested in clothes than her mother.
Shopping neither bores her nor fatigues
her, and when she goes forth to buy a
new frock or a hat she is riding on the
top of the waves. It is all a glorious
adventure for her whether she has SIS
or 500 to spend for the frocks. s. or
$50 for the hat.
Many girls of ID or 20 have a dress
allowance whether their parents will
or no, because they have finished school
and have contriUed to get jobs. Girls
who work usually dress better than girls
who stay at home, not necessarily be-
cause they have more to spend, but
because they have the spending of it in
their own hands.
The sketches this week show the
wise selections of young girl who has
this Spring been trusted for the first
time with the spending of her own dress
money. She bought a less expensive
suit, wisely choosing navy blue, taking
care TO have enough in hand to paw for
an extra blouse and a sleeveless sweater
which might be worn with the suit BY
way of change or with a separate skirt.

door And the present-tiay
architect makes sure that this door
shall be something worth noticing.
There was time, of course, when
doors were considered very important
in houses of this country. Our old
colonial houses of distinction bear wit
ness to that. And in modern colonial
houses, too, We have preserved the
beauty and interest that attached to the
early doorways. =
But then there came a long period
when domestic architecture seemed to
be built on the theory that q door was
but an entrance to the house. It was
usually unattractive. even forbidding,
and though 1t actually gave entrance to
the house 1t seemed to give grudging
entrance.
And now we are back to interesting
doorways. They are made, Of course,
In character with the house And If
the house itself has no particular archi-
tectural period, at least the door is
given coat of paint or some acces-
series that make it noticeable. Blue or
green doors on old broWnstone- front
houses are often most attractive.
There are all sorts of things one may
buy in the shops to help on this good
work of emphasizing the coziness and
welcome of the doorway. Lanterns and
latches, hinges and mud-Scrapers, letter
boxes and name plates-all help. And
all may be bought In varieties that
make it possible to find something for

WIDE BRIMS ON FEW HATS

The difference between a Winter hat
and Summer hat used to be that one
was Of felt and the other was of straw.
In place of felt there was sometimes
velvet, cloth or heavy silk, and In place
Of straw, silk braid, ribbon, lace or some
gauzy material might be used to cover
the foundation frame. Women who
rushed the season wore straw hats in
February and velvet hats in August
BY Easter most women either scrapped
their Winters supply of hats or put
them hopefully away to be turned to
account the following season.
Now the difference in warm weather
and coldweather hats is more one of
shape than Of material. To be sure,
one naturally wears O. warmer hat In
Winter and lighter hat in Summer
but there is no hard and, fast rule
concerning materials. BrimleSs hats
and hats that to some extent show the
eyebrows have been the rule through
the Winter and early Autumn. Women
liked them because they did not inter-
fere with the fur collar of the wrap.
With SUMMER days the deep fur collar
disappears and the hat that shows the
eyebrows also leaves the eyes rather UNI
pleasantly exposed to the glare OF the
sun. -
every woman in Paris still wore hat
that left the eyes and. perhaps the
eyebrows exposed, the modistes were
busy making hats with brims for those
optimistic women who felt sure that
Sprine would bring its quota OF sun
shine when those brimless hats would
be trying. There are very few really
wide-brimnied hats--for warm weather
but very few. Most of them have
brirns three or four inches in width.
