NEW YORK, March 26.-What
y kind Of clothes are fashionable
for small children this spring? The
answer to that is Simple clothes"
Even though little girls costumes
have many of the same details their
mothers costumes have and
even though these mothers cos
tunes are getting more feminine
and more interesting in detail and
trimming-children's clothes for the
most part stay simple.
Details that children's clothes
adopt are the simpler ones-de-
signed on a smaller, less elaborate
scale, so they won't overwhelm the
small figure that wears them.
Omit the Trimming
For general, everyday wear the
most fashionable kind of coat small
girls can have-and boys, too, for
that matter-is the regulation,
straight-hanging one, double or sin
gle-breasted, with no trimming of
any kind.
And if small brother and sister
dress alike, they're just twice as
fashionable We've shown a small
couple dressed this way Cat the
right of tle illustration in simple
regulation cats of tweed, double
breasted and With raglan sleeves.
Navy blue REFERS with six bright
and shining buttons and a navy
emblem on the sleeve always are
favorites with the boys. And that
keeps them in fashion.
Like Grown-Up Coats
It's in the coats for dressier wear
that you find the details Of grown
ups coats reproduced. Belts, fared
skirts, scarf necklines, novel cuffs,
revers-these are some of the most
used. They're easiest to adapt to
the small figure.
The coat shown at the center has
wide revers and & double cuff that
are very grown-up indeed, yet
they're no5 too much so for this
young fasnionable to wear smar y.
Dresses for little girls have all
manner of fashionable details.
One important type is the jacket
dress-almost as important for
children as for their mothers.
A one-piece dress with a
jacket is the idea. And
the Jackets are like boleros, or
straight hanging cardigans or
fasten up close to the throat.
The jacket dress shown second
from the left is like this.
Little girls have their spring suits,
too. More often for the very small
girl, however, the jacket is quite
short, reaching no lower than the
waiStline instead of to the hipline
as older folks wear them. We've
sketched suit, too at the ex-
IRENE left.

How To Get Acquainted
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

I am young German, 80
years of Of age, and I am
aWfully lonesome. Have been
in America for five and half
years and have never been out
Of work. I am an art book
binder, designer and earn $55
week. I have just returned
from Germany, where I have
spent the summer. three weeks
ago. Could you tell me where
could find some nice company,
or how I could meet a good
girl? I'd like to get married in
the near future. I am tired of
running around alone. I
would like to meet a girl like
Lonesome Babs."
LONESOME BOY.
It doesn't do, when you find
yourself in a strange city, to try
to make acquaintances too
quickly. Friends are our best
assets, and we have to be rather
deliberate about acquiring them.
Your letter is typical Of so many
receive from young men and
women who are employed in
strange cities and naturally are
lonely.
There is only one way to
make desirable friends and that
is through people you know
and trust. Young men have an
easier time getting acquainted
than girls. Almost any man
who works with you in the same
office, shop or trade will intro
duce you to the right sort of
girl if he knows you're all right.
Say, very frankly. to any man
you know pleasantly through
your business or social connec-
tions that you're a stranger and
would like to become &C
quainted.
If you sing, join a choral
society. There is good one in
almost every city. Join the "Y",
Knights of Columbus, Elks,
Eagles, or Y. M. H. A., ETC., &C.
cording to convictions, and take

AS I say, all of this is casual,
and neither makes these polite
requests as if he or she could,
under any circumstances, be re-
fused. but still it is one of those
amenities that are fundamen-
tally indicative Of our native
manners.
(And thank you, very much,
for your kind appreciation in
your last sentence-Was happy
indeed at your words.)
Lettuce AS Served at a Banquet
DEAR MRS, BEECKMAN:
Will you kindly tell me how to
proceed at a banquet held in a

lowed by soup. then half a head
of lettuce and so forth? Eat
ing the lettuce this way is so
dry and seems kind of out of
place. L. T.
Often. to make the serving at
a banquet easier, the lettuce is
put on the table at the places,
with the supposition that we
wait to eat it when the main
course is served: It isn't the
ideal service, by any means, far
from it, but it is convenience
to the walters! And I agree

provide Vitamin D for their
babies? For we know certainly
that Vitamin D is the one es-
sential preventive.
The answer is a curious one
and was uncovered when it was
found that exposure to sunlight
or to ultraviolet light would
prevent ricketts, equally as we'll
as the use of cod liver oil. Then
it was found, by Drs. Steenback
and Hess, in 1924, that certain
oils when exposed to sunlight
would take on anti-ricket proper
ties which they did not previ-
ously possess. The action of the
sunlight produces a chemical
The Washington times., 1931-01-02
DTENVT MI uTkT TIL By

"RICKETS" was named by
the people of Dorset and Somer-
set counties in England, taking
the name from the old English
word "wrikken," meaning to
bend or twist.
It affects the bones more
than any other part of the body,
twisting and bending them.
The twisting and bending is,
of course, produced by the move
ments of the body. The reason
the bones can be twisted in
ricketts, is that they become soft,
from lack of deposit Of lime
salts. Adding lime or calcium
salts alone to the diet, however,
does not prevent or cure the
condition. The American diet
ary at all ages contains from
so to 100 per cent more calcium
than the body needs. But for
growing bones some other chem
ical must be present in the body
to aid in the deposit of the cal
cium.
We know now quite we'll what
this chemical is-it is called
Vitamin D, and is found in fats,
particularly fish fats and oils.
and particularly in the livers of
certain fish, notably the Iivers
of cod. Hence, for the practical
purposes we may say that cod
liver oil contains the substance
to prevent and stop ricketts,.
Of all the vnamins, none is
so poorly distributed in the
ordinary foods as Vitamin D.
Fish oils and fish livers are the
lone exception. How, then, do
infants who do not eat fish
liver oil keep from having
ricketts,? Before we knew of the
value of cod liver oil in prevent
ing ricketts,, people who lived far
from the sea and ate no fish
did not, necessarily, bring up
rickety children. How did the
nursing mothers of such people
