Your Baby and Mine
by MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Maternity Demands Some Perma-
nent Sacrifices.
OSS of her girlish figure is alway.

r OSS Of her girlish figure is always
great trial to the mother. She
wants children. she "adores
IL them." but she IL given to much
useless signing II she doesn't
look exactly like q young girl again the
moment the episode is past.
It might be disillusioning, but un-
doubtedly education, for mothers to
carefully observe the normal, mature
figure. Most mothers focus their eyes
upon the figure Of youth and demand
that nursing leave no trace. or the
experience Of maternity no permanent
scars upon it. That is too much to ask.
A mother need not be dreadful look
ing, nor should she feel disgraced be-
cause she cannot hold her own in q
beauty contest with the unmarried
that we change The envious compari-
son Of the mature with the immature
figure argues that there is no such
change. We all know better.
The following problem Is dishearten-
ing, but 1t Is enormously being attrib-
uted to maternity and not to too great
an interest in the heshpots. Mrs. O. H.
Y. asks, Tell me what to do. have
three lovely children and . good hus-
band but look like mountain
I was thin when I was married but
you ought to see me now. Can I exer-
else to reduce my abdomen? I assure
you l have to do something; I cannot
bear myself. Also, Is there anything
one can do to develop the breasts to
their former contours. It seems to me
that even three children shouldn't make
woman look the way do
I have feeling that most Of your
troubles are due only to overweight.
That you can't blame entirely on
maternity. Though you NAV have
acquired the habit of overeating at that
time. Exercises will help you to create
a greater need for more food, but unless
you cut down materially on your con-
sumption Of food you won't notice any
loss Of weight. I do not believe in
freak diets, or in the use Of dangerous
glandular indications. And, unfortu-
nately, I do not have diet lists for
adults, but only for children. However,
any one, even without a doctors help,
can reduce her weight by simply cut
ting to nalf the amounts OF all food
eaten. I consider all foods essential to
a good diet, and the amounts you eat
are quite within your own power to
diminish. You'll lose weight gradually
and safely.
As for the contours Of the breast,
these are materially changed by nurs-
ing. I am asked this question hundreds
Of times every year. There Is nothing
one can do about it, since it is natural
for the breast to lose its firmness after
nursing. This is ludicrously small
price to pay for the JOY Of providing
ones baby with the nourishment in
tended for him.

bility not lightly to be undertaken and
also one impossible to refuse. II the
family be small, godparents should be
chosen from among friends rather than
relatives, since the sole advantage of
godparents Is that they add to the
child's natural sponsors so that II It
should be left alone in the world its
godparents become its protectors II
a child be born with plenty OF rela-
tives, godparents are often chosen from
among them.
MY dear Mrs Post-When we had
the announcements Of our baby's ar
rival printed, the stationer told my
husband that the birth notice must
include the date Of christening. and
the result is that I do not know just
what to expect or to be prepared for.
Is 1t customary for these people to call
on that date? II so, must serve them
something, and what? And how would
you suggest doing it?
Answer-Apparently the stationer has
managed to include q christening in
vitation in every announcement Of the
babys birth. I have never heard Of
this type Of card and have no idea
how it was worded, but 1t seems to me
that you would better have the christen-
ing on that day and be prepared to
serve tea or caudle "a christening
punch) with white cake, for however
many you think likely to come.

me is the month Of weddings, as
well as of roses. Fortunately the

TUNE is the month Of weddings, as
well as Of roses. Fortunately the
two come together. The decora-
~ tion of church and home Is facili-
tated because Of the wealth of
these blossoms and the profusion OF
early Summer flowers, with their conse
quent inexpensiveness.
Church decorations are kept within
the chancel, or about the pulpit, except
where flowers are fastened to pewS re-
served for the immediate families, rela-
tives and close friends. This helps to
focus the attention. and incidentally 1t
is advantageous to the purse. The
flowers and plants form background
and a setting for the bridal party.
The color scheme of the wedding
cortege is generally carried out in the
floral decorations also, although this is
by no means essential. There can be q
profusion of flowers of many hueS, as
in an old-fashioned garden, but there
is unity in plan which includes
decorations as well as gowns. This ac-
cord of color schemes should be well
considered by the bride. who may be
able, with a little thought, to carry it
out
The becomingness Of the schemes and
the ability to procure flowers as we'll as
frocks that will not increase expense
and yet make her appear at her best
are all worth brides pondering.
Pink is a favorite June wedding
scheme. The roseate tone is gay and
the prevalence Of this hue in roses
simplifies its being used. Also pink is
a becoming color to many.
Blue Is perhaps the most fashionable
color. 1t cannot be carried out with
roses, although there are such things as
blue roses. Therefore, this scheme is
more Midsummer wedding color
scheme than one for this month. except
in such localities as the season Is SO far
advanced that blue flowers in profusion
have blossomed. Blue is SO becoming
to some women that this color should be
kept in mind by such brides.
Yellow suits others, and this is hue
found in all shades in roses. 1t. like
pink, is a gay color, supposed to typify
success. Be careful not to use 1t unless

Everyday Psychology
Imitation.
BY DIR. JESSE ". sPRowLs.

Imitation.
1t is a great deal easier to work In q
group than to work alone.
1t Is easier to be q disciple In . cult
than to be its founder.
1t is easy to wear clothes that are In

where everybody does some yelling.
You want to attend the shows you
hear your neighbors talking about.
If you are a violator Of the eighteenth
amendment. you are probably following
crowd rather than quenching thirst.
As rule, you listen with greater in
terest to insinuations than to direct
statements Of fact.
Two things account for these and for
great many other things we do. First,
We are all born imitators; second, we
are always open to suggestion. Imita-
ton suggestion Is the compound mech

the key to the mind. Our similarities
in behavior make us think we possess
the same reason for behavior. And that

7 AM reminded Of the nursery rhyme
about Mary and her lamb by this
letter from a Corner" reader:
L Dear Uncle Ray: I am writing
TO tell you about my pet sheep. 1t
Is little lamb and its name Is Mary.
When 1t was real little its mother
and its mate died. so took 1t to the
house and warmed 1t so it could stand
up on its feet
feed my lamb milk out Of a bottle.
It stays on the porch in a box and
when 60 out 1t Is always at my heels
1t comes In the house almost every time
the door Is open. It is a real pet.
I think 1t is interesting to read the
daily articles and put them in my scrap
book
An interested reader,
MAY MoULDER.
May, you will have to be careful or
you might find yourself famous as a
girl who has little lamb which
follows her around all day! The rhyme
about Mary and her little lamb was
based on q real case An English girl
had a lamb which followed her to
school.
Elgin Klarp writes to tell me of a
dog named Sandy. This dog was
bought by q farmer and became very
friendly toward puppy. The puppy
died and Sandy would not eat for two
weeks. Elgin says.

cessful wedding color scheme.
Rainbow weddings are also enjoying
vogue In these each bridesmaid
wears q different color of pastel tone.
The bride dictates who shall wear which
color, and she is careful to see that
each person, as nearly as possible, has
the color best suited to her complexion.
Also she considers which colors should
come nearest her to make the best set
ting for herself For rainbow weddings
all colors are appropriate. One would
think rainbow weddings would always
be popular, but they have their fash
ionable periods. Just having flowers OF
various colors in the decorations does
not constitute rainbow wedding.

The Use of Attractive Ribbons
BY MARY MARSHALL.

M hair ribbons, very narrow
wv used as hair bands by older
girls, 8 or 10 inch ribbons
used as scarfs, sometimes
with matching girdles or belts, wide
girdles or sashes on evening and after
noon dresses, evening jackets and capes
OF the abbreviated sort, ruchings for
capes or dresses, ruffied sleeves and
epaulet trimming at the top Of the
shoulders to give the effect of greater
width. These are just few of the
ways Of using the attractive ribbons
offered for your selection this season.
1t Is really amazing 70 see how in
geniously dressmakers are making use
OF the wider, 8-inch or l0-inch rib
bons, cutting them and shaping them
and fulling them, tying and shirrtng
them, to make entire bOdices on Sum-
mer evening dresses. And using bril-
liant colored ribbons to make scarfs,
girdleS and belts on dresses OF dark or
neutral tones. The fashion for ribbon
been taken up with enthusiasm by many
well dressed women.
Roman stripes are especially attrac-
tive used on the dress of navy blue or
black. Ribbon showing brown, yellow
and orange stripes Is used for q scarf
on white silk crepe, polka dots OF
for matching belts and hat bands
Warm brown ribbon is used on beige.
melon pink Is used on brown, while
wine red or claret tones are used on
lemon yellow, pink or aqua blue
