Evening Gowns of Cotton
Mis- isn't the first time that cot

BY MARY MARSHALL.

THIS isn't the first time that cot
ten 1abrlcs have been used for
evening dresses, but it is surely
L the first time that materials as
heaVy as pique and gingham
nave been preferred to satins and chif-
ions Tor smart dinner and dance dresses.
Inc great advantage right now in these
cotton evening dresses is that they are
new and just little amusing. Another
advantage IS that they really can be
washed ana lroned, and this is an ad-
vantage indeed to the young woman
who hasn't any money to waste on
cleaners bills.
Printed dimity, lawn, eyelet-embrcid-
cred batiste. fine voile, plain and en-
broidered organdie and wide-wale piuue
are among the cotton materials used
Ior these new evening dresses
Organdles, voiles and other sheer ma
terlaIs are sometimes made over silk
Slips, but are often made separately so
that the dresses themselves NAV be
laundered separately. When the idea
nrst started there were cotton dresses

most women regard chiffon and other
SIX sheer fabrics as more appropriate
Tor formal wear. choosing cottons for
the informal, practical sort CT Summer
evening dress.
Pure white is perhaps the most usual
choice, but light pastels. especially
Snaoes OF pink or peach, are close
seconds, with pale blue, Nile green and
mauve occasionally represented.
1t IS possible to buy very inexpensive
cotton evening dresses. but it is also
| poSslb.e to pay generously for them.
and the success of the new fashions
Goes not lie so much in the idea of
economy as in the fact that cottons
introduce new and acceptable note of
crispness in the Summer evening ward

A short while ago, visited the home
OF an 8-year-old boy. named Glen Full
er. and found that he had made a Cor
ner scrapbook. The stories had not
been arranged according to subject, but
it was good scrapbook for a boy of
that age.
Some readers have had trouble with
the paper when making scrapbooks
They tell me that the paper wrinkles
up." This must be caused by the wrong
kind of paper the wrong kind of paste,
or too much paste. Heavy paper is bet
ter than thin, and library paste"-
which comes in tubes or small bottles
is probably best to use in pasting., Many
5-and-10-cent stores now sell good sized
scrapbooks for dime. You might buy
such book. Directions sent Scrapbook
Club members may help you figure out
a way to turn such a book into a loose
leaf scrapbook.
Now and then reader who Joins the
Scrapbook Club says that he expects a
complete scrapbook in the return en-

wish to make clear that you will receive
printed directions-not scrapbook.

some unnecessary stuffing of food Gar
dens are handy, orchards drop their
bounty literally into the childrens laps,
there are berry bushes, and convenient
ice boxes, pe-ambulating ice cream men,
and the corner drug store with its
tempting array of luscious hot weather
connections. If some of these tidbits
do not find their way into the hospitable
stomachs of the small ones of the flock
it is a miracle.
Some children are blessed with cast
iron stomachs that withstand any dietlc
insults. But there are always children
who have no such tolerance for the un-
usual and whose invariable response to
such willful indulgence is fever, vomit
ing. diarrhea, or perhaps convulsions.
Every mother has to know her own
child, and if he happens to be Of the
for trivial causes, she should be ready
to put him to bed, administer an enema
to relieve the lower bowel, and try to
avoid the disaster.
There are many reasons for convul-
sions. reasons which have to do with
prolonged undernourishment, some
times aggravated by the eruption of
teeth. The underlying cause then is
also dietic. but the temporary cause
may be nothing more serious than an
overindulgence in too much of any kind
of food.
When the child has a spasm. there
is no time to worry about causes. Try
to stop the CONFUSION as quickly as
possible. This is most easily accom-

water. Both methods bring the blood
quickly to the surface of the skin and

The after treatment, when the twitch-

means of a warm enema. or a simple

In the event that closets themselves
are wanting, rather than space inside

Fasten these wardrobe cases under a

asparagus fern leaves she saw a good
reason why she should not combine
them. The same thing held with sweet
peas or daisies. Coarse fronded fern
