one would expect. and by an orgy of
night feeding tries to make up for his

The weaving period Is so often COM

can't sit UP. or can't crawl, or has no
teeth or Is several pounds underweight,
she still heSitates to take him of" the

reasons In the world for weaving. To
nurse the baby through the second
Summer when his first Winters feed

ficiencies Is short-sighted and faulty
reasoning.
Sometimes the mother teeters in her

New Shopping Bags

One of the hardest things you car
have is a bag which will be pretty and
capacious enough without being heavy
or too striking in appearance for ordi-
nary use. Here's how to make one that
will give It's owner many hours OF
comfort:
Take a piece of pale gray felt and
cut 1t into the shape Of q diamond,
making 1t es large as you wish your
bag. II there is not much to be
carried or II weight is an object. 10x16
inches will be good medipm size.
Cut another piece to match It and
then, laying them together, cut away
curved pieces running from the widest
part Of the diamond to the point at
the top In such a way that half the
figure-which will be the bag-is I'M
touched, while the other half has be-
come a handle.
Now cut an oval piece Of black felt.
The size Of this must depend much
upon the size of the bag but for the
measurements suggested one 5hx31a
inches will be about right.
Applique this to your bag, and sew
over It's edges a bit Of fancy black silk
braid to hide the stitches and the raw
material. The other side Of the bag is
to be left plain.
upon the DIack me0alllon tnuS 1ofm-
ed you will wish gay design of flow-
ers. and here your botanical fancy may
run riot. for they are easily made.
Simply cut out circles of felt of the
desired color and tack them by the
center to the background.
When all Is done, blanket stitch the
two pieces of the bag together with
black wool. A big black wooden head
at the top Of the handle makes a good
finish, and at the very bottom make q
long dropping bow Of q one-quarter-
inch strip Of black felt, the ends Of
which are cornhowers-just one fringed
circle of blue folded into quarters and
wrapped around with silk near the
center so as to suggest bud.
II you would prefer something other

misses are chosen by many women who
do not affect the backless fashion for

because undertakings of this cut give

WHAT AND WHY
By Alice ,JudSOu Peale

We pay much attention 10 the tcrested in their lessons, their ath- letics, the way they spend their lei sure hours. We realize that these are an indication of their growth and the quality of the adjustment they are learning to make.
 Yet why they do what they do is at least as significant. Whether things are going well or ill, the req sons back of our children's actions are worth knowing.
 When a nine-year- old boy spends all his time reading we may feel that wholesome and urge him to play baseball instead. But we have little chance of changing his ways unless we have studied him enough to know why he has sought out books instead of the usual activities of his years. Until we get the drift of the lreams or the fears that have moti- vated his conduct we cannot really help him.
 I believe that too often we are satisfied when we have merely made our children go through the proper motions. Very likely the child whose daily life is well rounded in a Va riety of activities is growing up quite as he should; but often one who thus presents satisfactory pie ture to his elders does so not be- cause of the pressure which has been brought 10 bear upon him.
 He is being molded from without, while he is not being permitted to draw on those inner urges from
 which must come such force and vi ! talitv as he will put into his life. The why of your child's behavior | is at least as important as the what
 of it, While you are trying to direct
 his actions, try also to understand | his motives. Help him to make a
 satisfactory connection between his
 wishes and the adjustment which
 will be required Of him.

'Oh, but you mustn't" I said In all on the plane of jest"

 Not just yet" l told him, and indeed, I wanted time to be alone with the pleasant and surprising as- surance which had just come to me. He had championed me-me-not ct Edith-and whatever annoyance was his at the incident of the broken rose bowl was directed toward her, not mo. Absurdly I hugged the knowledge, putting aside the query of why it meant so much to me and was childishly sratified later in the evening when Dicky casually asked Noel to take Edith home instead Of esCorting her himself.
 Noel Breaks
 She went away laughing, but l guessed she was raging inside. l conjectured also that she would not rest until in some way she avenged the slight. But for the present, at least, she no longer counted in my scheme of things.
 That comforting knowledge help ed bolster my courage during the trying days which followed. There is nothing so nerve tracking as wait ing for some threatened menace to materalize. and in our case was added the tension of nine highly strung people thrown together un- der virtual quarantine. Dicky an1 Philip went to their offices daily, but the rest of us did not leave our apartments except to go to the roof for air and exercise, and the straln of waiting and watching was soon perceptible. especially in the case of our four young people. thrown into almost constant companionship.
 Princess Olina did not come to me for the interview she had asked. and I did not remind her of it, for I was well content not to discuss with her the betroth3l announcement of Mary and Prince Georges. But l lost no time in getting hold of Noel. With the aid of Lillian. who kept the oth- CT members of the international TO- mantle quartet so engaged that they did not miss him, and of Harry who brought him 10 the roof. where l awaited him, I was able to talk to him at an early hour of the day fol- lowing the announcement dinner His first words when Mr. Underwood had left told me that 1 had done I wise thing.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBElN

Ever since men began to put two and two together and make any thing from one to five as the an- swer, there have been strange no- tions regarding the effects of wealth CT on health and on disease.
 Even Noah Webster. who wrote the dictionary, wrote a two-vol- ume work on the relationship Of weather to disease.
 People talk about healthy weather and unhealthy weather without having a very clear idea of just which is which. The cpl demiologists and the meteorolo- ists and the statisticans get somewhere in this matter by keeping exact records of changes in the weather and disease and death rates but even here it is necessary 10 take into account other factors such as movements of the population and of the in sects that carry disease and of the types of food eaten and of the effects of various temperatures and moisturos on the growth or germs.
 Because of some of the factors that have been mentioned, typhoid fever occurs most frequently in summer and early fall. During the summer people drink more than in winter and they are care less about the source of the water. or milk or other beverages that they drink. In the warm weather the germs multiply more rapidly in the contaminated fluids.
 Investigations made by the National Research Council showed that the highest death rates oe- cured in New York City on the coldest days. the least on days when the temperature was be- between 50 degrees and 75 degrees F., and that the mortality rises when the temperature begins te go much above 75 degrees F The effects of severe weather are seen, a few days after it oc. CUTS in the form of pneumonia bronchitis, and other diseases ct the respiratory tract.
 No doubt much of this in creased incidence is due to tn, lowering of resistance that come. with exposure but a great deal O it is also due to the crowding to- gether that takes place in the col6 weather and to the spread of thu germs through the secretions tha have been mentioned.

Peter Rabbit was paying his usual early morning call on Bob White. Bob sat on his favorite fence post. He had continued to use that post even though Mrs. Bob had moved the family to another part of the Green Meadows altogether. He had done it for purpose,
 AS long as other people hear me whistling here and see me here. they will think that. of course. the family is somewhere about herc,' thought Bob.
 And this is just what others did think-Peter Rabbit among them. Almost every day Reddy or Mrs. Reddy came over to look around in that vicinity. They knew that the nest had been tn gre somewhere and so they thought that as long as Bob remained there. the family must be somewhere about, not very far away. This, of course is just what Bob wanted them to think.
 'l think yod are mean Bob White said Peter. T think you are mean not to tell me where Mrs. Bob and the babies are"
 Who said I have any babies ?'' demanded Bob.
 you've been Vhistling it every morning of late" replied Peter. T knew the day those eggs matched. I knew it by the sound of your whistle. Now I want to see those babies Where are they, Bob?"
 T can't say exactly" replied Bob, his eyes twinkling You see. they move about so much that never know just where they are. All can tell you is that they are somewhere around"
 This was all Peter could get from Bob White. So at last he bade Bob good by and started off. He wasn't looking for Mrs. Bob and her babies. In fact, when he was some distance from where Bob was whistling on the fence post, he had forgotten all about Mrs. Bob and the babies. He was thinking of other things. So you can imagine Peters surprise when suddenly right almost under his nose there was sharp Cluck and there was little Mrs. Bob White acting as if something were the matter with her. At the same time Peter had a glimpse of a whole 10, of fluffy little birds, But it was only a glimpse. Mrs. Bob was taking his attention. He looked back at her tc see if there really was anything the matter with her. That second glance satisfied him that there wasn't. He knew that olI trick Yes, sir. h, knew that old trick. So instantly ht looked for the babies again,
 Not one fluffy little baby was tc be seen, He looked and looked, H. rubbed his eyes Not q single Bor White was anywhere in sight. H, looked hack al Mrs Rob White. Shc was looking at him now and in hol eyes there was misChievous look "Oh, Peter, how you scared mel she exclaimed. T didn't know il was you"

 Dicky's face was dark with anger when I had finished. But he was also bewildered

 When I had finished I found my self trembling with resentment, not only against Edith for forcing ma into such a situation. but also against myself for yielding to the impulse to retail her part in the af fair to Dicky. It was a petty act. against all my standards, and my regret was as keen as was my fear that I was in for an explosive scene with Dicky. No doubt he would champion Edith. I told myself irearily. and braced myself to listen to his strctures with as much com- posture as I could command.
