Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

We expect children to be hungry.
We appreciate the baby's demand TO
be fed and his ravenous hand-chewing
when he wants food. No one however,
can understand the baby who never
seems to be interested in eating
Mrs. j. BIS baby weighed 4 pounds
at birth and now at months weighs
II pounds. The baby's appetite has
always been poor, she has seldom
taken more than two or three ounces
OF her formula, and has never gained
more than four ounces a week, some
times only one. Not being satisfied
with her condition, had her formula
changed ana for five weeks she has
been on the new formula. She is
considerably constipated and does not
want to take more than three ounces
at a feeding.
She is fed now every four hours
nthis way: Her formula at 6. Cod
liver oil at 9. Strained cereal with
her formula at TO- Strained vegetable
soup and orange juice at II. Formula
at and 6. Please advise whole
DAYS routine for me-"
Despite her small weekly gain If
your scales are accurate, the baby
has gained eight pounds in six months,
which is an average of over five ounces
week. There is some discrepancy
somewhere. As this is a good. gain,
evidently the formula has been suf-
1ciently satisfying and nourishing so
that baby didn't need it all.
As long as the baby makes as good
q gain as this, would suggest that you
stop worrying about the amount of
formula she takes.
You are far from being on a four
hour schedule. Your vegetable Soup
and orange juice are two hours from
the 10 and two meals; this is so close
as to spoil the appetite for all three
meals.
Keep the meals strictly to four hours
apart. Formula at g. Orange Juice
and cod liver oil at g o'clock to
aid constipation, as fruit juices given
on an empty stomach are more effec-
tive than when given right with the
formula. II necessary, repeat the
orange juice at o'clock. The cod
liver oil can be given in one-haf
teaSpoonful quantities after each of
the four daytime bottles Cereal
separately, and then the formula at 10
O'Clock. Slowed vegetable for two ounces
OF vegetable soup at 2, and four ounces
OF formula. You might be more sue
cesstul with the sieyed vegeta bles, since
baby is reluctant to take so much liuuld
at one time. Cereal and formula again
n 6. One bottle at night between 10
and 2 whenever baby wakes for it.
If you find the present formula I'M
satisfactory, you might like To try an
eysporated milk formula. which per-
nlitS giving baby more milk with less
dllution than with your present for
nlula. Our leaflet on methods of fig

or one tablespoon of yitavose, in place
of one tablespoon of the sugar you
now use, would be helpful TO pep up
the appetite.

Dressmakers Give
Force to COlOrful
Effects.

WHEN you read a dispatch from
Paris that color now looms up as
the most important consideration Of the
new fashions, pray do not be misled
into thinking that the important French
dressmakers have gene on an orgy of
bright colors. Don't imagine even that
when you go on y3ur vacation trip to
Paris three or four months from now
you are to see women much more col
orfully dressed than they were on your
last visit Merely bear in mind that
the French dressmakers, having found
that there was no need for any radical
change in the line or silhouette OF
women's dresses for the immediate
present, have had more time and in
clination to stress the great Importance,
which, of course. always exists, OF the
careful consideration Of color in the
ensemble.
To some extent there has been a
breaking away from black. Yet, for
every dispatch we receive from Paris
suggesting that black has yielded q
point to brown or navy blue or some
brighter color, comes another dispatch
stressing the importance Of some new
black dress or suit or hat. There Is no
denying the smartness of black when
handled by a really good dressmaker
and worn b. a woman who has master
ed the fine art of wearing good clothes.
If you are fortunate enough to be able
to wear black with distinction don't be
deferred from doing so by all the press
ing talk about the Importance of colors.
But If you are not at your best in black
don't feel that you must wear It,

Three Types of Hair
Lengths Are Smart

French hairdressers recognize three
distinct types Of couture. There is the
still short hair, not so short as it was
year or more ago, but still short
enough to demand regular trimming.
Then there Is the hair long enough
to make into a knot or chignon. This
Is really long hair, but most women
have to have theirs trimmed and
thinned in order not to let the knob or
chignon become too large.
Then there Is the nlidlength hair that
is definitely neither short nor really
long.
Short hair-short enough to need reg
ular cuttings still the preference Of
many well dressed French women. 1t
Is the favorite still of sports women
and busy women generally. It is prac-
teal and convenient and can be easily
kept in condition by regular trimming.
Short hair Is seldom brushed off the
ears. In fact, the short-haired couture
usually calls for ears that are entirely
or almost covered, while hair of the
long or midlength sort may be arranged
to show them. Short hair is parted at
right or left side or parted in the CEN
ter and waved gracefully over each ear.

COlOrs Seen. in ThreeS

for Spring and Summer. For resort
wear this sometimes means rather strlk-
ing color combinations. Blue has been
combined with red and white by
more than one influential dreSsmaker.
Usually, however, the three-color scheme
is not so obvious. An interesting new
shade of brown known as brandy Is
combined with white and green, for IN
stance. or with white and rust. Navy
blue is used with beige and yellowish
shade of gray. A black afternoon dress
Is trimmed with beige and ornamented
with a buckle or clip showing pink
stone. or a dress of aquamarine blue is
trimmed with white and worn with a
brown hat.
An interesting and helpful diversion
for YOU as you visit the fashionable
shopping districts is to make note OF
the subtle blending of colors that you
will see In the new dresses and suits
and hats. Dresses showing this combi-
nation of colors carry with them an
air of rather pleasing nonchalance, but,
Of course, there Is nothing at al acct
dental about them. For all Of the color
combinations you will see you would
probably be able to discover the sane
ton and precedent of some important
French dressmaker. And in choosing
your own color combinations you Will
be wise to follow some Of these prece-
dents.
The other day some one interested
in the sale Of readymade dresses ex-
pressed the fear that this new fashion
for tl1ree-color combinations would en-
courage women to make over their last
seasons dresses and thereby save them
selves the necessity of buying new ones.
Come to think Of it, 1t ought to be help
full to the woman who has time to re-
model her old clothes. But the fact
that a woman is able to salvage a last
seasons dress by means Of her own
skill in dressmaking certainly does not
indicate that she is going to buy fewer
dresses. It simply means that she will
have one more dress to wear, that she
will find her wardrobe this Spring a
little more adequate than it was last
year and that she will feel renewed
sense of her own ability to look well.
Most women. we find, buy not what
they need but what they can afford,
And If they contrive to make dress
at home they do so because that is the
only way they can manage to have the
new dress or because they hope that by
making a dress at home at small cost
|. they will be able to spend more on their
next important costume.

IF you want your husband to settle
down by his own fireside, after din
ner instead of wandering away to his
club, you might consider finding out
what 1t is about the club that attracts
him. Nine times out of ten, you will
discover that 1t Is the furniture
Clubs have comfortable, substantial,
solid furniture that has been made to
be used Deep-cushioned chairs and
davenports are provided. They invite
people to sit down, and make 1t so COM
Portable for them when they do that
their guests hate TO get up.
A man who never loafs in chair II
he is afraid that one or the other OF
its spindly legs viii give way under his
weight at any minute. He has no pro-
longed fondness, either, for chair that
bumps into his back at the wrong
places. A great many quaint" chairs OF
antique or modernistic design make no
hit at all with the men. Comfort and
substantially are what they want.

man has TO drag chair to Q lamp or

light. Chairs and lamps are grouped

together. No man has to go roaming
around searching for an ash tray. and
then wonder what to do with it when
he gets it. Ash trays and stands are
provided at handy points.
II you visit a mans club you will also
notice that every chair is provided with
q table which will hold reading matter.
The davenport has a long table directly
behind it.
Clubs are generously supplied with
comfortable groups Of furniture. II isn't
necessary for q man to surrender his
chair TO some one else. Homes would
be much more enjoyable If women would
provide such groups and thus do away
with the necessity of making one person
uncomfortable in order to show proper
courtesy to others.
The twin idea which has proved so
popular in clubs is worth trying in the
home. On each side of the fireplace in
clubs tall lamps are used. Smaller ones
will give the same cheerful effect In a
home.
Walls should not be crowded with
pictures Those that are there should
be good. They should be interesting
enough in theme to make any man or
woman willing TO study them again and
again. Clubs capitalize on this idea, and
women should do the same.
Tapestries also add a softening touch
to homes.
The radio makes a splendid point of
interest around which to center a fur
niture group which win have masculine
appeal. Chairs, small tables and lamps,
ash trays and smoking stands are al
ways necessary The radio cabinet
should not be parkd up against the wall
without relation to the other furniture.

Arrange to Have
Real Time Off

"a mans work is from sun TO sun.
but a voman's work Is never done"
Housewives take some solace in
quoting that little adage, which was
never quite exact and certainly ex-
aggerates the situation in these days
when almost every woman in the home
reaps some of the benefits Of modern
science as applied TO the simplifcation
OF housework.
You know yourself that you do not
have TO work all the time. No, but the
main trouble Is that your work Is spread
over the entire day. II is here q little
and there little, so that you are under
the strain Of constant anxiety and con-
Germ.
But this may be partly your own
fault It may be because you do not
group your various tasks so that they
can be accomplished consecutively,
leaving q definite block of time for
yourself. There Is always something
very refreshing about feeling every day
that ones work is done, even though 1t
may be only for a few hours. The tired
business man closes and locks his roll
top desk with q real feeling OF relief,
though he may be tagged out when ne
hoes It and NAV have to look forward to
. battle with crowds in subways or sur
face cars before he gets home.
One thing that the girl who has
worked misses most when she goes to
housekeeping is the satisfaction Of this
daily closing time. Now. with most
housewives 1t really would be possible,
BY working straight ahead for certain
hours of the day, To l.pnck of for GER
tain hours every day. Usually these
hours would come in midafternoon.
There Is wisdom in making the most
Of your time on with something Of en-
9husiaSm. Plan 10 do different pleas

Song No Longer in
Very Good Fashion

On the one hand, we spend money
for vocal lessons If we have children
who give any indication of possessing
a promising voice for song. On the
other hand, We teach our children that
it is very bad form to MARBLE or sing
at table, and we are likely to say Hush,
dear" If they break forth into song
when we have them out for walks.
Too bad, but true, it is usually a
mark Of bad breeding in young men or
women Of any age to MARBLE, hum or
sing whenever their spirits feel the
urge. And little by little this sort Of
incidental music seems to be passing out
of our lives. OF course, well trained
servants simply don't sing when they
work. It is years since we had one who
did, but we can all remember the sort
of cook who sang Annie Laurie" or
Home. Sweet Home" when she mixed
the cakes and the cleaning woman TO
whom the sight Of broom or scrub
pail served as an irresistible invitation
for a song. With large, old-fashioned
houses that didn't matter very much.
but with modern apartments and small
houses it really does matter to most
of us.
Probably It would do US all lot Of
good II we sang more. In many Euro
pean countries factory workers sing as
they work, and they are actually en-
couraged to do so. The employers prob
ably realize that singing is safe OUT
let for a variety of emotions, and 1t
satisfies the desire to express oneself
without making 1t necessary to stop
work to seek out fellow worker with
whom to talk.
Evening singing to babies is going out
of fashion, and modern doctors and
nurses assure us that a baby who has
been properly fed and .bathed and all
the rest can go to sleep quite as well
without a lullaby as with one.
