are a famous trade-marked
brand, that have their cut pat
ented. This marvellous way of
cutting gives more fulnesS or
room through the seat, so when
you bend over or sit down, they
do not pull down from the waist,
or pull up. Standing, the full
ness disposes itself naturally,
without making bulk or wrin-
kles under your clothes. We
selected a summer .pantie to
sketch of rayen mesh in a very
open weave, at 81. The same cut
may be had in other styles at
different prices, including bloom
ers and one-piece garments.
Service Stripes
The towel robe sketched is
called the "Hot-Cha" robe, and
is really made of towels, not
just toweling. It recommends
itself for dashing to the phone
from the shower, so you won't
ruin your silk robe, for actual
towel use, such as wrapping
up for drying exercises, and
for beach wear most of all. It
looks like the best thing yet
to slip on to go down to the
beach, and then rub off after
you wear it back. Of course
we've had toweling robes before,
but these, actually made Of
towels, are inexpensive enough
to have several Of, and to use
just as you would towels. They
are only 81, and come in white
with stripes in green, blue, pink
or yellow.
Bargain Hunters!
Another good summer item
picked up on the same shopping
trip was gowns of printed ba-
tiste, in tiny sprigged design,
entirely hand made, for SIC.
But as this is supposed to be
a fashion column, and not shop

WHEN TEETAING
makes HIM PUSSY

Teething time brings its troublesl For so
often tee tn cut through the tender gums in
hot weather, when there is danger of diges-
tive upSets anyway.
One of the most important things you
can do to make teething baby comfort
able, is to see that waste matter is carried
off promptly and regularly.
For this, there's nothing like Castoria.
1t is made specially for the delicate needs
of babies and children. 1t acts so gently,
you can give it to young infants to relieve
collie pains. Yet it is always effective
keeps older children well regulated.
Castoria is harmless vegetable prepara-
ton; it contains no harsh drugs, no mar
cotics.
When your baby is fretful and feverish
with teething or stomach disturbance,
give cleansing dose of Castoria to make
him comfortable and happy. Children like
the taste OF genuine CaStoria-never object
to taking it. Be sure you get it with the
name Chas. H. Fletcher on the package.

Friday is a busy day, bargain
day, shopping day for many
women, so it's a good day to
talk about time-saverS, laundry
savers, work savers and new
things that make for more ease
in living. These days and times
few women have enough hours
in the day to do all the things
they want to, so anything that
can help is a blessing. The
tempo of American life makes
efficient and economical clothes
a necessity, and the little
things are as important as the
outer garments, costumes, and
more expensive things.
Three-in-One
We're sketching three en-
tirely different garments, but
each with its virtues, and each
a help to the woman who wants
the most ease and comfort out
of life. First there's a most
useful slip, one that combines
panties, bandeau and slip. The
fitted top is firm enough to

for daytime wear, and is good

Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. D.

There are few things which
seem to worry parents more
than a tendency to constipation
in young children. This depart
ment receives many letters a
week on the subject.
According to children'S spe-
cialists, there is some justifica-
ton for this, but not as much
as the worry of the parents in
dicates. Constipation in itself
is not serious or dangerous,
and need be given consideration
only because it may conceal a
more fundamental nutritional
disorder or be the forerunner OF
some grave disease.
So long as a child is gaining
weight and growing in height,
and is lively and active and dis
plays interest in life and it's en-
vironmept, one can assume
that in the great majority Of
cases there is nothing seriously
wrong with its health, constr
patton or no constipation.
The treatment of the condi-
ton in older children is not
markedly different from the
treatment of the condition in
adults. Avoidance of cathartics
and the danger of establish
. ment of The cathartic habit is
emphasized by all authorities.
The formation of regular habits
of eating and of going to the
toilet is probably the most i'm
portant element in treatment.
Exercise, use of abdominal mas
sage, and a diet rich in fruits
and vegetables are all needed.
Bran can be tried and, if it
does not cause irritation, is
probably as good a form Of
laxative as can be found.
The use of petroleum. or
mineral oil is also safe if drug
less" methods fail. 1t should
be chosen in. preference to all
other drugs of this class. Its
action is through its bulk, not
by any irritating quality. A
recent study of its action has
caused us to abandon the idea
long held that it did not stimu-
late the intestine to peristaltic
movement. Nor does it act sim
ply by coating the external
surface of the intestinal con-
tents, as was formerly believed.
It incorporates itself into the
intestinal mass, emulsifying by
the acid of the chyme, and
gently stimulates the intestinal
muscles to movement by the
very existence of its bulk.
The dose should be carefully
regulated so as not to give too
much. Although an excess OF
the oil does no real harm, 1t
causes intestinal movements
and crampings. Only enough
oil should be given-from a
teaspoonful to tablespoonful,
as may fit the needs of each
individuality result in increase
in the bulk of the intestinal
mass without showing an ex-
cess of oil.
It should be given at night
before retiring.

When Manners

The College Girls Cards

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. sometimes drive a car.
and when out of the city and
a tire is punctured and some
kind gentleman stops to change
the wheel for me, what would
be the gracious thing to do to
thank him? Is offering money
in such a case correct? If so,
how much would be an aprro-
pirate amount?
2. When shaking hands
should lady remove her
gloves?
8. When setting a table. is
the water glass placed to the
right or left of the plate?
4. How should a young col
lege girl have her cards
printed? What size should the
cards be-? How should the
names be printed? In what
type?
GLADYS.
/. A gracious and most en-
thusiaStic expression of thank
you is the appropriate thing to
show your appreciation of the
deep courtesy. The offer Of
such kindness is made in a
spirit of out-of- the-goodnesS.of-
the-heart, and no gentleman
would think of accepting money
for this courtesy.
2. No.
3. The water glass and all
other glasses are placed at the
right of the plate, above the
knives. The water glass, COB
let or tumbler, is placed just
above the dinner knife, and.
if there is another glass, it is
usually placed just below the
water glass.

be engraved, not printed. It is

than to have them printed.
And all cards should carry the
title. in this case, Miss, even
if the girl is young. The card
should be about three inches
long, and about two inches
wide.
y The most charming and love-
ly style of engraving for the
card is, to my taste, the
Shaded Antique Roman. This
style is tall and graceful and
seems to have a youthful quail
ity that is especially appro-
pirate for such a card.
Script too is a beautiful
style, of course, always appro.
pirate and very much less ex.
penSive than any other style of
engraving.

She Sulks and POutS

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been keeping company
with a very spoiled young lady
for over a year. I am 26; she
is three years younger. A deli.

who required much tender care,
she outgrew her illness, but not
the petting and having her own
way. Among friends and in
public she would sulk and pout
at any refusal to cater to her
whims. She married another
fellow after a, brief courtshlp,
only to be disillusioned, to find
he was a fortune hunter. Now
they are to be divorced, and
she wants me to take her back.
Miss Fairfax, do you think
some girls can remember les
son like this? I still love her

to start all over again. MY

that YOU feel that way your

that she would begin to sulk

position which allows me to

I am sure that I am in love for
ever and ever. We have every
thing in conn non and both
agree that we two are living in
a world since we have found
each other. Now my problem
is this. I have seen many ap-

ner, but when serving perhaps
ice cream and cake late in the
evening. Or is it more correct
to use regular water glasses at
these times? Please advise
when goblets or water glasses
should be used, or is their use
optional? READER
The general distinction be-
tween gobletS and tumblers,
footed or not, is that goblets
come more into the formal
classification and tumblers are
more informal. Then too there
are different kinds of gobletS,
some (for instance exquisitely
cut crystal ones with tall, for.
NAL Stems) being strictly
formal, while white or tinted
ones, say with short stems, be-
ing more in the informal class

Very short-Stemmed goblets
and tumblers, footed or not,
are appropriate for use in the
informal occasions that you
name. But it is by no means
incorrect to use, for these
occasions, goblets, unless they
are obviously too formal.

"Nothing to Offer Her"

NObuAuS W OAACE AACA
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I met a very charming girl,
slightly younger than myself
about three years ago. After
going with her for a few months
I decided I had better break
with her, as I was out OF work
at the time and could not af-
ford to do the things she de-
served.
After I had been away for
about a year I realized that I
cared a great deal for her. Nat
urally, after what 1 did, she
went out occasionally with other
men. At Christmas I sent her a
present. She replied, asking
me to write to her.
Shortly before my return
home, she became acquainted
with a fellow I know, but OF
whom her parents disapprove,
and now she wants me to ar
range for her to meet him. She
knows she ought not to see him.
but I am quite sure she cares a
little for him. At present, I am
out of work and have nothing
to offer her, but honestly, she
means everything to me.
S. P.
No, I shouldn't be the 60
tween in this case. Her family
diSapproves of the other man,
and in arranging meetings you
are betraying their confidence
in you. She must have some
interest in you, or she wouldn't
have taken you back after you
broke up. Let her see she has
a friend in you, one she can
rely on, and try hard to get a
job. You have youth, which in
itself is capital. Sorry your
letter was too long to print all
of it; and my best wishes to

Advice to the LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

quite fill my days to overflow
ing. Do you think this would
be possible.
MARGARET
Yes, perfectly possible, Mar
garet, if you are going to
allow fear to keep you from
the happiness th.t life now
offers. But why not accept
this gift of love, so perfect as
you say, and by your own in
telligence work out a plan to
keep it ever as it now seems?
Many have done that, al
though, as you say, many other
apparently ha py marriages
have failed. It all depends on
the character of the people in
volved, and the effort they put
into the job of making their
marriage successful. From your
letter I would say that both
you and the man you love
have all the qualities needed
for an ideal marriage.
