Your Baby and Mine
Summer Sleeping Schedules.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

During the Summer 1t Is natural for
beby'S sleeping habits to suffer some
disruption because Of the heat. But
sleeping habits are important, especially
regular ones, and IL u best to adjust
the whole days schedule to keep them
that way.
Young mothers, who as group have
written In to this department for sug-
geStionS, are again puzzled. You have
helped us before with your practical
suggestions; now We have another prob
lem probably not new TO you. but TO us
Our babies range from 8 to 1912
months of age. Before hot weather
they were all trained to go 10 sleep
alone between $50 and 1880 Now the
bed rooms are unbearably hot and also
they are light. The freedom which no
covers gives leads the babies to play
If they do not cry. If they cry. they
get so hot that sleep is still farther
away,
I'VE have done all the things we
know are unwiGe If they become habit
ual. such as rocking, or taking baby to
ride in buggy or auto. We are most
anxious to do the things which will
keep the babies comfortable and will be
best in the long run. What would you
suggest? Also what are the best Sum-
mer sleeping garments for the babies
and do they need their feet covered
during their naps?"
Suppose you rearrange the schedule,
so that it Is either 7, IL, and Z. or
1880, 1880. $3.50 and 1880; then the
sleeping hour will coincide with the
last feeding, always a helpful alliance.
Let the baby nap from 8 to 8 in the
morning and from / 10 $3.50 in the
afternoon SO that there Will be q real
desire to go to sleep when bedtime
arrives.
When the temperature is 80 or more,
keep nothing but diaper on the baby,
both day and night. II the temper
ature changes, it takes but moment
to add more clothes and the happy
babies are those who have frequent
cool sponge baths and are unhampered
oy clothes of any kind. Recently saw
a baby who hadn't been clothed ex-
cept with q diaper day and night for
three weeks, and he showed no effects
of the gruelling heat.
Electric fans may be used in the room
at night. The baby may be taken out
for ride and put TO bed when asleep.
There is nothing gained in hot weather
by rocking the baby, since this is a
most uncomfortably hot ceremony, but
if riding with the baby makes him
cooler and in a mood to go to sleep, do
that.
The sleeping garment should be OF
the thinnest cotton on cooler nights
Otherwise there should be no garment
at all and nothing on the feet. To keep
the baby cool, in any conceivable way
is the prime requisite for slumoer.

Summertime


The white wood aster, the frst
but one to come into bloom. has just
begun to show its starry blossoms In
the low woods along the little creeks or
runs" as they are so picturesquely
called by my Virginia country neigh
bors. It hasn't q rival among the asters

Is matter of taste II you prefer one Of
the other species that will be in bloom

In the garden. and should more correct
ly be called China Aster, for 1t belongs
to q different clan. The China ASter
was brought from far Cathay to Paris
in 1871 by Father dIncarville, . Jesuit
missionary, and at the time II was only
a modest sort Of flower, which clever
breeders have turned into doubled,
dwarfed, tall, quilted and other eccen-
trio forms, raising 1t almost, but not
quite, to the class Of the dahlia, mari
gold and zinnia.
But the white wood aster, If it would
look foolish in a formal garden, has
about 1t that airy grace, that wide-eyed
innocence that we demand of wild
flowers; next to 1t China Aster In the
woods, If you can imagine such thing,
would appear overdreSsed and q little
pompos. With its very many, very
slender rays, and its golden disks or
eyes, or sometimes they are q soft
brown, our wood aster is as cool as the
brooks that 1t loves to grow beside, as
refreshing a. the rich woods It chooses
for its shade.
A great many new species Of white
wood aster have been discovered around
Washington. Perhaps this is because
there have been so many collections

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.

Il very much want to dress my little
8-year-old daughter aASractively, with
out spending too much money and
without making too much laundry-for
I am laundress and cook as well as
dressmaker for my children. I'm think
ing now of making clothes for her to
wear next year at school. Can you
give me some suggestions?" This Is q
question from q Puzzled Mother"
The 8-year-old should be consulted,
to some extent That is to say. many
ideas about the kind of clothes they
like. I think she would like jumper
dreSseS-with the skirt and shoulder
straps or a U-shaped waist section that
stays Up over the shoulders more easily
than straps made of challiS or serge,
and washable blouses of dimity, ging-
ham, or other pretty wash material.
The blouses may be plain or figured.
The figured, of course, have the adj
vantage that they don't show spots,
a very important point sometimes. The
blouses, which aren't very much trouble
TO keep laundered, keep the dress al
ways fresh. The serge, or challis, skirt
gives q little extra warmth and also
keeps down the laundering Yet these
skirts can be washed and ironed when
necessary, which is q further point in
their favor.
Wash dresses are, Of course, quite
suitable for the S-year-old. There are
most attractive dark figured linens and
other prints that may be chosen-be-
cause they don't show every spot. They
can be made in simple one-piece de-
signs, with collar and cuffs of plain
colored linen. With these dresses,
sweaters should be worn on very cold
days. If the mother can knit. she can
make two or three sweaters in colors
that harmonic with the various
dresses, and so make q most attractive
set Of costumes for her daughter.

New Light ON Old Matter.

Proponents of allowances for wives
usually stress the fact that without an
allowance a woman Is unable to run her
house efficiently. She never knows just
how much money she can beg tomor-
row, or whether more funds will be
available when her present ones are ex-
hausted. Every woman has heard OF
these and other sad conditions.
We have heard very little, II any
thing at all, though, about the women
who practice absurd economies. so that
they may have things they can't AFFORD.
The allowance is not exactly panacea
for wife's financial troubles. 1t is
often just q new trouble in disguise.
Many women stay within the limits of
their allowance by imposing sacrifices
on the family.
In frequent cases a husband must
supervise the housekeeping bills and
give his wife a personal allowance,
otherwise daily doles are the only prac-
ticable financial arrangement.
Family partnership in the form Of q
Joint bank account has been recon-
mended as q worth while method Of
solving this perplexing problem. 1t en-
Courages the wife to forget her personal
interests and gives her broader and
more responsible ones. She looks upon
household finance as family matter
and not as O means by which she may
derive little sums here and, there for
eXtravagances.
No wonder that women are only in
terested in their own allowances. Most
allowances leave q woman to her own
devices in spending. She feels that she
is only responsible for providing for that
which her allowance covers.
Partnership In the family bank ac-
count induces a woman to be truly and
consistently economical. She will not,
under ordinary conditions, use such an
account to her personal advantage. The
fact that she has an equal claim on
the family exchequer will, or should,
