Of the average wardrobe designed by
any of the better Paris couturiers
show hemline that begins, in morn
ing clothes, from three to four inches
below the knee and siants on down
to floor length for formal evening
clothes. Your skirt by luncheon will
have heightened two inches; for tea,
two or three more; at dinner it will
just clear your ankles.
Unless something very unusual ap-
pears in these openings, even hens
will probably continue to be preferred.
This is no dead set rule, however.
There are certain women who always
have slightly more grace in dress
that is not too severly horizontal. A
skirt that droops ever so little at the
sides or the back may often be smart
err than one which is strict in its even
hem For evening clothes there are
prophecies of less and less petal eff
fects Though these are not to be COM
pletely dlscarded) and more Of the
type of skirt which hangs straight
from the waist and gets its fullness
by means of draping.
An interesting Partisan afternoon
dress is of maroon colored georgette
crepe. Tan velvet flowers are ap-
pliqued on the material. The frock
is effectively draped at the neck and
the hemline.
Draped lines and devices which get
the effect of drapery are noticeable in
models shown in the majority of
houses and hence are on the list of
| fashion points slated for spring and
summer Importance. Blouses in par
ticular. are expected to show de-
fined influence of draping in prefer
ence to cutting.
There is an example in the blouse or
the dress which has a normal waist
| line, but which achieves the effect of
dropping back by the way its back
is draped, so that there is U-shaped
line in its folds. The entire backs of
certain blouses are draped in this
manner, giving U-shaped neckline at
the top and a bolero-blouse effect that
hangs over the belt at the back.

Differ in Meaning

The expressions fatally wounded"
and ''mortally wounded" are common
ly used to express the same thing. but
MORALLY is regarded by some as
meaning suffering death at the time
of, or soon after, the wounding, while
fatally wounded conveys the idea that
death followed after a considerable
lapse of time.

We all catch colds and they can make miserable;
but yours needn't last long you will do this: Take
two three tablets of Bayer Aspirin just soon as
possible after cold starts Stay in the house if you
of Bayer Aspirin every three or four hours, if those
symptoms of cold persist Take good laxative when
you retire, and keep bowels open. If throat is sore
dissolve three tablets in quarter lassfu Of water
and gargle. This soothes inflammation and reduces
infection. There is nothing like Bayer Aspirin for
cold or sore throat And it relieves aches and pains
almost instantly The genuine tablets, marked Bayer,

0 N REAR RING
CHILDREN from
CRIB TO COLLEGE,
Compiled by the Editors OF
THE PARENTS MAGAZINE

You want your children to see In
teresting, wholesome motion pictures.
You find that perhaps 90 out of every
100 pictures are stupid or dull or per-
verted or, at best, designed for adult
appreciation. The other five are so
delightful that you realize the posi-
bilities of the movies" as an artistic
and educational influence. In spite
of the defects af the 80, your children
persist in seeing them. You wonder
what you can do about 1t. For one
thing turn a deaf ear to the propa-
gandist who advises you to help Hot
lywood make bigger and better pic
lures" That won't work Educate a
new public to prefer better films. 1t
will take time and money, but will be
worth the while.
There should be classes for parents
in every public school, every private
school and every college and univer-
sity in the country. Already many
institutions of learning have seen the
light of the new day that is dawning,
and in such places classes in parental
education and child training have been
started.
Though linen sheets are not In ev-
eryday use in any but wealthy homes,
fine sheet which approaches 1t in
texture Is the percale sheet which Is
coming more and more into general
favor because 1t retains its freshness
longer than real linen sheet and
at the same time has a softness and
luxurious texture which is very very
desirable.
1t Is not an overstatement to say
that care of the teeth should begin
before the birth of the child. for the
first set of teeth is already formed in
the gums at birth, and upon the quail
lty and quantity of the mothers nu-
triton depends her baby's dental start
in life. good start must be followed
by eternal watchfulness. Teach the
child to brush his teeth invariably
after eating, brushing with a ro-
tary motion of stiff-bristle brush, as
this method aids in preventing the
gums from receding. Give the child
plenty of rough food to make him ex-
ercise his teeth.
Overlooking the baby is almost i'm
possible. The baby has a perfectly
responsible mechanism by which he
can get rid of any overplus, even If
you should be successful in getting
him to take it-which you practically
never can do. Too frequent feeding
yet that is far too common; and 1t is
practically always bad. But too much
at one time-that never happens If
feelings are three or four hours apart.
The old belief in the possibility of
overlooking baby is dwindling away
TO nothing. 1t is underfeeding. not
overlooking, that we have to fear.
Vitamine Q always bears Watching
for it is fragile substance. 1t is
sensitive to heat, hence to cooking
processes. Exposure to air destroys

contact with baking soda. What foods

stance? Oranges and all citrus fruits
are gold mines of 1t as are tomatoes,
raw, cooked and canned; raw cabbage
