regain the inside track and is hurt and disappointed when she meets only further withdrawal.
 Such a mother will perhaps be helped to meet her difficulty if she understands this withdrawal for what it is-a sign of growing up. The process of becoming an inde- pendent human being involves at some time or another the relin- quishment of parental leading strings.
 No girl can become a mature wo- man who has not passed through the phase of keeping aloof from even the most dearly loved and un- derstanding mother. It is through this experience that she enamel pates herself from the affectionatc . domination which would try still to authorize her emotional experiences and dictate her ideals.
 This parting is one of the proper l sacrifices which every mother must
 make to her child's development.

Paris, July l2.-There are few dresses more attractive, from q col or point of view. than a perfectly conceived gown of printed fabric o1 hot summers day.
 The attraction that color cxer- cises over every woman easily ex- plains the tremendous vogue that printed fabrics have enjoyed for many seasons now, but as with all successful details of fashions. these prints now have become al- together too popular. The we'll dressed woman has reached the point today where she hesitates, ill the selection of her summer wardrobe, as to whether she will allow herself to be captivated once more by some of the entranciag color schemes some of them offer. Three seasons ago, she would not have hesitated one moment.
 4 Versatile Costume
 A printed mousseline frock is suited to all summer functione but it fits in especially we'll with the background afforded by such places as the race course, the polo grounds and garden fetes.
 In spite of the almost infinite variety of designs that have beeY offered to women during the course of the seasons, the general trend today Is distinctly towards greater moderation both in de- sign and color or else. with some models, the printed fabric is used to offset its line and intricacy of cut.
 The over-large floral design hav- ing by now become oyer -popul IT in the ready-to-wear class of dress. never use any but the mort dis | erect and even sober designs. fea- 1 turing two or at most three diff ferent colors or shading effects. The only danger in the use of this type of print is that the result might be monotonous, but this is easily and very effectively rema- died by the adjunct of lingerie touches at the neck and sleeves, which immediately dress" a A Compromise in Chic To satisfy at one and the same time the desire expressed by some women for plain afternoon frocks, yet possessing the attractions of q Gaily printed material. I found that the adjunct of colored lie.- chief and a hat of the same mate rial was one way 10 solve this problem. In this case, floral de- signs are taboo, but polka dots are i m ost effec tive. care being taken that all accessories harmonize with the color scheme. For example, a simple white afternoon gown of Georgette acquires tremendo IS chic and a touch of color by the addition of a scarf color of sheer white linen with a large black pol ka-dot which also formed the hat l brim.
 The use Of lace for afternoon 1 dresses can only result in the most 1 formal of models, There are two or three such creations in my pres ent collection but they cannot an1 1 should not be considered indicative of future mode. They merely | fill the need that a smart woman has of one extremely dressy after noon gown for a solitary but ve-y formal affair during the summer. l There is no medium like lace. cf course, to impart that dressy look to a toilette and I invariably ad- wise 1t for such special occasions.

 Disea sed tonsils often Co-eXist with other abnormal conditions Whether or not the diseased ton sils are responsible for the condi- tions is often q matter of question.

 Tgret looked very. serious. His oy's became rather sad looking. Do yon ever see any Of those two-Ieggel ] creatures called Mon?' he asked.
 Of course said Peter.
 "Of course" said Jerry Muskrat
 Then you have seen the reason that my family gave up comlng North" explained I1sret.

They were before my d1y, but I've been told about them and cant bear to think or them, When I think of the thousands and thon- sands of young Egerts that starved to death in their nests. it is q won der to me that single Egret is alive today
 Peter Rabbit looked at Jerry Muskrat and Jerry looked at Peter, and in the eyes of both was 3 pug ylad evnrcscio- ''INtar made fher1. starve to death 2" said Peter after T while.
 The two-lesged creatures with terrible guns that wanted the foatu- CTS of the fathers and mothers, eE- piained l.gret. You see, it is only iH the nesting season that we have these beautiful feathers. which are called plumes. So the hunters would wait until the nesting season, Then they would seek out the nests and shoot the old birds as they brought food 10 their young. Then, of course the young would starve to death.
