Hats Are Trimmed
With Nasturtiums

The new hats show various sorts Of
trimming. OF course, many Of them
are untrimmed, save for folds and tucks
of the fabric Of which they are made
And these are decidedly good locking
these .self-trimmed hats. Becoming,
too, for they are cut and shaped and
pulled and pressed into the most al
Turing and becoming backgrounds and
frames for the faces under them. /.
Nasturtiums are used to trim some
Of the new felts. Strange, when now
ers are such rarity On hats. But
nasturtiums have . vogue that the mil
liners have been swift to seize upon.
The flowers, Of course. are not wresthed
or gerlanded about the hat, but grouped
In bunch at one side, over the ear.

BY ALLENE SUMNER.

Among many other things for which
this particular social era Is noted Is the
rather universal idea Of doing about as
We please, no matter what people say.
IF they don't like it, they can do some
thing else" Is rather common ex-
preston.
But moderns though we be, most Of
US with some sort Of fearless independ-
ent attitude soon learn that the close
chance to such o conviction: that no
individual can live entirely free Of pub
lie opinion.
The suspicious Of others may, theo-
retically, mean nothing. But they prove
bitter dose when you are really con-
fronted with them. The fact that In.
divtdual folly gives rise 10 suspicion and
that one has only himself to blame" Is
cold enough comfort when the confia-
grafton OF distrust Is too big 10 put out.
Suspicion and attendant gossip does
not, perhaps, manifest itself these mod

Or, perhaps, that's exactly what they

can't express them, she can only feel
them. She Is growing UP and no one
seems to realize Il.
Adults are 80 uncompre hending. They
mold q child exactly as they please. But
there Is one emotional outlet available.
The child can cry-howl. to high
heaven. She can scream In the night
and refuse to be quieted. While she
cries she is q dominant personality, de-
spite her parents. She can cry when
she senses the utter hopelessness OF
saying: IT want to stay In bed" for
Mother will point out how perfectly
absurd that Is, when she should be
dressed and outdoors In the sunshine.
The answer to this problem Is ridicu-
lousy simple. Give Helen some legtti-
mate opportunities for expressing her
own personality, making some Of her
own decisions. doing what she wants
to do, and she'll stop crying. Helen Is
an individual. She must have chance
to show that she Is. II she can't dis
regard her dominating parents there Is
nothing left for her to do but cry or
scream out In the night, for these are
emotions that the parents can't stop.

Shocking Makes

When you buy the daintiest clothes
for the little boy just going into the
charming little suits that now succeed
white dresses you win often find them
shocked.

Smoked blouse or Jacket to 60 over It,
with white collars and cuffs. or the

perhaps an all-white suit shocked In
some baby shade Of blue or pink, yell
low Or violet. or green, which y an
other color now, considered suitable for
children Of tender age, and very
becoming color, too. Il takes. one real
Ines, . clear and perfect skin to wear
green.
These shocked suits are quite appro-
pirate for this small boy up to OF 8
years old. So It % ven worth while 70

The whole trick, Of course, lies In
learning how to srnock. And that Is
not really dificult.

For some reason or other we seem

honor and respect on the person We
address II We use the third person In
addressing them than II We use the

Thus the Spaniard when he wishes
to speak politely, says something that
originally meant will your honor dc
thus and so, when he means win you
do thus and 50, and he says win he
put on his hat when be means will
you put on your hat.
\ The German never uses the Ia

intimates and says, How are they,
when he means How are you"

Your Baby. and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

To the harassed mother of q large
family, the Y1eighhor across the street
with her one, well-behaved chick seems
particularly fortunate. "If I only had
the time" says this mother Of flock,
II could do just wonders with one
child. but when there are. threel'
And the mother of one agrees with her.
She feels that having the time to watch
every act Of her lone chick and stamp
and "sassiness" is vital to the child's
perfect development.
3 It Is interesting to see how this
watchful policy works out In real life.
We have Id mind Helen, q child Of two
and one-hah years. Her parents are
well-to-do,. intelligent young people.
They are determined to make no mis-
takes. The mother has read widely and
has taken to heart all the advice about
early training and regularity Of habits.
She admits that the child IL almost
perfect. She has undertaking hours Of
sleep, recreation and eating. She makes
no fuss about any Of these. She has,
so the mother says, VERY nice man
ners." She Is not fnicky about her
food and Is UP to weight and general
mental development for o child OF her
age.
But the usual fly In their ONT
ment Of content has appeared. The
child cries for no reason at all. The
parents being extremely reasonable
souls assert that never In her whole life
has Helen profited by her crying. They
are simply unable to understand why
she cries before she even asks for what
she wants. because they have discovered,
after letting her CRY herself out, that
what she wanted to do was quite within
their power to grant. They consider
her conduct very naughty as well as
inexplicable.
As an illustration of what is hap
pening In the household the mother
cites the incident Of going to lift Helen
from her bed after nap and how the
child cried wildly and would not tell
why she was crying. The mother was
compelled to put her back In bed until
the storm was over and only then did
she discover that Helen wanted to walk
downstairs instead Of being carried. The
mother protests quite reasonably, III she
had only asked first, instead Of crying,
would have been 90 willing to let her
That Is what the mother thinks. But
the childs experiences have given her
an entirely contradictory viewpoint.
she has been dominated so long that
she no longer voices her desires. She
knows, or ct least she believes, that It
Is useless to ask for anything. Mother
and Daddy tell her what she shall do.
