Your Baby and Mine
Don't Look for Flaws.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Parents are hard to please. They
problem, and even when there is no
problem Few babies gain exactly ac-
cording to the books" which are,
after all, just averages Of many kinds
Of gain. We deplore overlooking when
it has some undesirable results. When
1t has none, then let well enough alone !!
Mrs. RS baby has put on 10 pounds
in months, which is better than the
average, but everything else is so ideal
that this is Of no consequence what
ever.
She writes: "My baby who weighed
8 pounds at birth, now at So months
weighs more than 10 pounds. He has
always demanded more food than he
should have had to satisfy him. A baby
specialist advised straight milk since
four months of age and he now gets
four bottles daily of 8 ounces each. He
gets ounces of orange juice, 2 tea
spoonfuls of sieved vegetable and 2
teaspoonfuls of cereal twice daily. /
cook the vegetable in beef or chicken
broth and he gets some of this.
Although he eats every bit OF every
thing give him, he is really not what
one would call a fat baby, but he is
solid as piece of wood. He is happy
and contented and when put to bed at
6 o'clock sleeps all night through until
the next morning without waking.
DO you think I am feeding him
wisely? Isn't this too much? Would
it be wise to cut down on the foods
now that he has started to get teeth?"
Most mothers would give millions for
a baby this young who was good all
day and slept all night.
When the baby is teething his appe-
tite may diminish. in which case SIM
ply do not force food. but let him do his
own cutting down" There is time
enough to dilute milk and decrease
amounts OF food when some reason for
1t appears. While he is bounding up
ward with vigor and happiness. it would
be shame to change one thing.

Frightening Hair.

There are many girls and women
who believe that their hair is so drab
and uninteresting in color that it can
never look pretty In childhood their
hair may have been a pretty golden
color, which makes it all the harder for
them to resign themselves to dark
blonde or light, mousey brown. Some
resort to bleaching, but when this is
done at home the usual result is
streakiness or overbleaching. which, in
turn takes the life and elasticity out
OF the hair.
For hair of the intermediate, char
acterless hue between the pure blonde
and the rich dark brown, the pure
Egyptian kenna pack, is one of the
most satisfactory treatments. 1t bright
ems the darker shades of hair without
making them actually red and gives a
6attering auburn tinge to the medium

hair pins or clips She had said that
such articles should be as personal as
the tooth brush. And now came the
third speaker who not only said that
one girl should never use another girls
powder puff, but that she should use
her own only day or two at most,
before she washed it.
She said that most bad compilations
came from uncleanliness somewhere.
A poor diet would work from the in
side out. but granting that the diet was
right and the amount of water drunk
daily adequate, there could still be
poor compilations.
These came because the skin was not
cleanSed often enough. A second make
up put on over a previous one rubs in
the waste perspiration and the CRIME
of the day. Three or four cleansings
of the skin, daily: are good. Mild soap
and water may be used. A cleansing
lotion which is mildly astringent is
useful during the day.
If fingers are going to apply some
of the makeup, they too should be
clean, otherwise much dirt is rubbed III.
Pure cosmetics used with discretion
on young skin are not harmful.

MUCH has been written about rooms
AVA for children and rooms for the
active adult members of the household.
But what about the elders? Has any
one ever stopped to think that they
have some special needs and are en-
titled to some special consideration?
The elders themselves rarely voice
these needs but the home manager who
is thoughtful enough to anticipate
them in her decoration and furnishing
plans will find her efforts highly appre-
ciated.
First Of all select a room for the
elders which is light and CHEEKY. Do
not thrust them into some dark, one
windoWed room overlooking a court. II
possible give them room on the first
floor, If you live in a house. where they
can watch some of the activity in which
they are no longer able to participate.
If you are an apartment dWeller, select
q room which gets many hours OF sun
shine and which has pleasing view
beyond its windows.
Begin the planning Of this room with
the floor treatment. The very old, like
the very Young: appreciate warmth and
safety. The floor should be carpeted
all over, or nearly all over. Small rugs
are treacherous and bare floors are cold
A few small rugs may be placed on top
the carpet if it is desired to give addi-
tional life and color to the floor. But
they should not be used on a waXed
floor. A waxed floor is treacherous
enough even for young people; for the
aged it creates hazards that may have
serious consequences.
The window treatment requires spe-
cial consideration. TIE glass curtains
should be of some easily Numbered ma
terial SO they may always be fresh and
give the room the cheerful aspect fresh
ness imparts. They should be trans
parent, or tied back so as not to OBJ
struct the view or keep out the sun
shire. The draperies should be Of a
light material. such as linen. chinlz
or cretonne. Heavy silks or velvets are
rather depressing.
Elder people do not like dark corners
no matter how alluring you may con-
slider the softening shadows Of the

Dress for Dance at Boat Club
BY MARY MARSHALL.

We have chosen a dress that will be
just the thing With the help Of a
paper pattern for simple Summer eve
ming dress she can cut 1t out and make
it herself. We suggest organdie for the
material because organdie is by all
means the most attractive material this
Summer for evening dresses, and If
Barbara uses soft wads OF tissue paper
when she packs the dress 1t will not be
flattened out to much in ner trunk.
The int.reting thing about the dress is
the ruffles which extend from the knees
to the hem and are made of different
shades. Yellow we think would be a
good color for Barbara, so the drSs
should be made of pale yellow, with
the highest ruffle of the same color:
The next two ruffles below should be OF
a slightly deeper tone of yellow Then
two of a deeper tone and so on with
the lowest ruff1e deep yellow or orange.
The ruff1es should be cut on the bias
and finished with narrow hens, then
applied so as to cover the skirt from
the knees to the hemline.

like blisters and got their name this
way The mother is wasp and she

the underside of the leaf When her
children grow up they are boys and
girls and they favor their grandparents
But their children turn out to be all
girls and they favor their grandparents,

The little house Of the midges and
aphis is decorated with hairs on the
outside and the doorways are fuzzy
looking. In Europe, gals are used for
the tannin they possess. Some are used
for the manufacture of ink There are
1900 species of gals and you can see
them on many of our trees and plants,
once you know where to look for them
The little goldenrod gall-house is not
made by son or daughter of gall
insect at all, but by the offspring of
little brown and gray notified moth,
three-fourths of an inch long. or
course, her child is caterpillar The
house he constructs is spindle shaped,
to conform to his figure, and there he
resides in his one-room apartment, eat
ing his fill of goldenrod juice. One
bright day he decides to see the world.
He cuts an oval-shaped door in the
upper part of his home with beveled
edges on the outside. He places debris
before this door to keep out the in
quisitive ant or the prowling beetle and
takes a nap. He awakens a moth,
pushes the material from his door and
tumbles out. With his new, strong
wings he flies about, enjoying the
scenery and seeking his mate.
Calls are made after the egg matches
and when the grub begins to grow. The
insect eats the vegetable fiber and splits
1t out. The plant tissue has been
changed into a substance secreted by
the glands of the insect which causes
the gall to grow faster than the oc-
cupant. The oak-apple gall is as large
as a small apple and may be cut open
and examined with ease. In the very
center will be seen the grub, If it is
green gall. The grub always cuts a
doorway from which to escape. Examine
your gall and you can tell if the owner
is in residence or not.

henna at all. but is merely a bleach.
The henna pack is made by mixing
the pure Egyptian henna about four
or five tablespoonfuls are usually
enough with enough boiling waite" to
make a smooth, creamy paste. Do the
mixing in an enamel or china bowl and
do not boil the pack. 1t is wise plan
to make test on a small strand from
the lower layer of hair, to see how long
the pack should be allowed to remain
on in order to develop the right color.
For the medium drab shade, four or five
minutes are long enough to leave the
hanna, but for darker shades longer
period is required to bring noticeable
results After you have learned from
the test strand about how long to leave
the pack on, apply it evenly all over

With interiors she was, as I said, po-

TN adolescent girls growth quite sud-
= denly begins to speed up" In some
young folks the rate is out of all pro-
portion to the strength or age, and We
call this the awkward period. In some
young people self-consciousness of their
ungainliness assumes such proportions
as to make life unbearable.
1t is especially at this time of great
est growth, when height is attained at
the expense of vigor, that systematic
outdoor exercise is particularly called
for. The body, complicated machine
of the utmost intricacy. requires proper
fuel to feed it not only food, but oxygen
carried by the blood stream to the re-
hottest cell.
1t is due to a lack of systematic out
door activity that SO many girls acquire
during the awkward period lifelong de-
fects, tricks of manner cultivated to
hide constrained and uneasy postures.

imperfection.
