THE CARE OF PETS By Alice Judson Peale

Alice was eight years old a month ago. and for her birthday I gave her a puppy with the understanding that she was to take care of him her self. But already I have to remind her about feeding him.
 T suppose she is too young to have a dog. But she seemed so eager that thought she really would live up to her promise. Perhaps I ought to give him away now that she has failed to keep up her end of the bargain"
 No eight -year-old child will re- member faithfully 10 feed even a well loved pet every day. day after day. Young children simply are not capable of that sort of thing and we should not expect it of them. Even high school boys and girls find it hard to perform task so steady and ever recurring.
 Any child who loves his pet and plays with it deserves to keep it even if good share Of the time he does forget to feed him. When you give your child a pet. make up your mind that the job Of caring for it often will fall to you.
 You may remind your youngster to feed his dog or to clean the rab- bit hutch. but there Is nothing to be gained by nasgins him about it. Just comfort yourself with the thought that. being a child, he cannot help being childishly irresponsible. Tell yourself that the fun your youngster has is compensation for the extra work that falls your way.

Prince Georges also laughed indulgently. but not before a puzzled questioning expression had appeared in his eyes. an expression which fingered despite his mirth. But Princess Olina's smile was dis tinctly supercilious and disapprov- ing.
 Dicky must have seen what did, but to my reli.f he made no com ment upon it. Instead he played into my hands as soon as the door of our own apartment had closed upon us.

 He took a quick step toward me. his eyes alight. But I was not to know what answer he meant 10 make, for Harry underwood's dou- be knock sounded upon the door, and with an annoyed little exclama- tion, Dicky strode across the room to admit him.

New Lacy Lingerie Has Sheer Beauty

New York. June :S-The charac- ter of lingerie usually is quite de- pendent upon the modes of costumes worn topping 1t.
 There ts real reason for this. Fun flounced undergarmentts had no place in the reign of the straight up-and-down styles. Moreover, though many women clung ito very feminine. lacy lingerie during the days when a simple. tailored sports suit was considered suitable cestum- ing for all occasions. the majority of new undergarments took . tail- ored aspect. even though beautifully handmade.
 There's Vogue for Lace
 Today the return of the feminine mode is resounded in lingerie styles. The laciest, sheerest~of fabrics ,s used. such as georsette. ninon, chif- ion. lace. point d'esprit net and mousseline de soie.
 Moreover, the division of styles into those more or less tailored things suitable for daytime wear and those dressier ones for after noon and evening finds its coun- terpart in lingerie modes.
 There are many finely fitted and severely plain things for sports wear, travel and daytime wear for those who prefer this type of garment under sports suit. Vests that tuck into little step-ln shorts and combinations both arc featured.
 Feminine Modes Reign
 But there is a decided increase in the numbers of delicately fem mine modes. More and more wo- men are choosing this type exclu- sively.
 The new silhouette for lingerie is, like the costumes over it, the tinations and nesligecs are cut princess line. Slips, gowns. com princess. Others feature the nor nal waistline by belts, yokes or pleated sections. The straight up and down garment even in night gowns is hard to find.
 Two New Style Points
 The low backline and the irreg- ular hemline are two other salient points of style in new lingerie Yellow is a new color. sometimes trimmed with the most delicate of black faces. Apple green and vary ing tones of light blue are fAvor- ites this summer. also. There is little white. but flesh-colored gar- nents are always becoming and thus popular
 Original and charming is a party slip, delicate as cobweb. of fine apricot colored ninon. with it's pleated skirt pointing its way to an irregular hemline and it's bodice almost entirely lace. It is backless, with fine shoulder straps.
 Both the color and cut of a ninon nightgown mark 1t as very new. It is black. with cream lace making a stunning yoke that Is \ deep V in front and very low in the back. Tremendously flatter- ing, unusually chic and different is this garment.
 It has panels of fine Frencr l pleating to give it fnllness and its black belt has lace ends. Over it Milady should have one of the new three-quartera neglikees that often use pale pink chiffon and cream lace.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FlSFIBElN Editor Journal of tho AnlericaN Medical Association and of Hy-
 gtiA, the Health Magazine

gttA, the Health Magazine
 Ths Atimates Of the geologists 10 the effect that mankind has peen in this world some hundred thou lands of years have always seemed to the public somewhat humorous.
 Those who are fundamentalists insist that the bibncal account records the actual status of affairs Of course. there h good evidence to the effect that man as we now know him has been ip the world many thousands of yeare beyond the biblical accounts and that tn" evidence regarding prehistoric mar fully justifies the claims Of the an. thropologists and sthnoloststs
 In a recent considera ton of the man of the future, Pro.essor Ales Hrdlicha predicts | human being one hundred thousand years rrom now who will differ hrea,1y from the type of man we know today.
 In the first place, there is a con- tinuing tendency to the disappear ance of the hair from the surface of the body; next, the modern sophisti- cated food and the conditions of civilization tend to throw less bur den on the digestive tract. so that it seems reasonable 10 predict that mankind in the future will lose en- tirely his appendix which LOW gives him a considerable amount oi trouble; that he will have mucr shorter intestine than the thirty feet which now becomcs .u,,cct tr colitis. stasis. ohStructions and nu. mcrcus other disturbances. bcca:;. of its innumerable curves and kinks: that he will probably ne : taller human being than ~e now have. because ultraviolet rays. ex. ercise and outdoor life stimulate the growth of the long bones.
 On the other hand. there is no reason to believe that he will de velop into a giant similar to the gi. gantic types recorded in such legends as Jack and the Bean. stalk" One Of the pleasures 0, science is the possibility of philoso. phizing as to the trend of the hu. man body in relationship to tho growth Of human knowledge.
 These things seem to the average man to be Of but little concern te hirn personally. Nevertheless. ther. is already evidence to indicate tha' the girls entering colleges toca, average two inches more in neigh than did those entering college. twenty years ago. and seven pound. more in weight. If this mucn pro gross could be achieved in period of twenty years. the possibilities o the future do not seem so far away
