TVHE ensemble idea, II not the ensemble itself
is the dominating influence in the mode
today. Harmony pervades the wardrobe, the
costume is assembled with an eye to relationship
in color, cut or design. Accessories are carefully
chosen and planned to blend or give emphasis
to the costume. We do not buy a bag because
1t happens to strike our fancy, or because it is
a bargain, we purchase it to fill a definite role in
the planning of q certain outfit. The same holds
true TO gloves, s~carfs, jewelry and shoes, and
the result is that the average woman has learned
that used to be the property Of the woman who
could give money to her wardrobe, but knew
that thought was just as necessary.
The shoe-and-bag set has become quite an
accepted factor In our clothes-life, and this sea-
son, we are welcoming the hat-and-bag partner

matching bag. Linen, crepe de Chine, ~taffeta,
faille, these are but some Of the fabrics that lend
themselves gracefully to the hat and matching
bag idea. And when the hat is Of straw, the bag
is often created Of another fabric in a color
matching the hat, and the trim also matches the
ornamentation of the hat as well, thus keeping
the partnership intact.
Some delightful suggestions for hat-snd-bag
alliances are shown here to-day. The first is of
a sports hat with a matching bag, both fashioned
Of navy silk crepe with white borders and dots.

havior, his health-they are all mat
ters better understood today than
they ever were before.
Your baby's health is OF para
mount importance. Methods OF
bringing up babies have improved in
the past generation. The child who
does not thrive well should receive
individual care and training. No
hard and fast rules can be laid down
for such care.
Every mother should give her
child the benefit OF the wider knowl-
edge on child care which Is accessible
now as never before. Mothers OF
children who need special attention
now have the advice OF trained work
. ers-physicians. the visiting nurse,
the clinic. and hospitals. No mother
should hesitate for a m to get
that advice and treatment which are
necessary for her child's welfare.
1t is vital 10 build solidly the foun-
dations or child health. The habits
and education or youth mean that
the adult viii be better fitted for the
emergencies he must meet all during
life.
Living conditions IN every ON
munity are improving slowly but
surely. Everyone u help in max
ing the world better. The water sup
ply. milk supply. housing conditions,
cleanliness or the streets and atmos-
phere, Fairgrounds. park systems.
industrial conditions. hospital facil-
tiles. wages OF the bread-winners.
availability OF medical and nursing
care-all these must be made safe
and sure They must be looked after
for the sake OF the children and OF
the community.
The quality OF citizenship may be
measured by what happens to the
babies and children. The lowered
death rate in almost every city IS
an indication OF Improvement along
these lines. What these are is large
