Advice to the LoveIorn
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Don't Delay, But Name the . "
Day! -;o,

when our grandparents mar
,ried," they will proudly relate.
''it was in the midst of the great
depression. They had a one
room, kitchenette, and bath flat,
and it was tiny one. But they
both had jobs, and so they di-
vided the housework. They
went without almost all the COM
forts that they had previously
considered necessary, but what
did they care? They were young
and in love, and, at the end of
the first month, they were Is
cents ahead"
Wasn't it thrilling" they will
ask, "to be so much in love and
to have been willing to make so
many sacrifices, just so that
they could have each other?"
"Those were great days to
live in," they will say, when
things weren't so soft and easy,
and the way wasn't all mapped
out for you, and there was a
chance to be a bit of a pioneer.
Lucky pair, our grandparents"
Something in that idea, don't
you think so?
In any case I do not, of
course, believe that marriage
is doomed" And I am just
as strongly opposed as ever to
the life-sapping long engage
ment.
Use your ingenuity, young
lovers!
Simplify your idea of mar
ried life. Make a long list of
all the things that it's easily
possible to do without.
But don't list love among
them
And make that engagement
short and Snappy.

Famous Authority on Health and
Psychology
AS soon as it can be so
arranged the baby should have
a sleeping room Of its own. In
fact if space permits, the
custom of having the baby
sleep alone, in a room by it
self, should be instituted the
first day Of its existence.
The conditions maintained in
the nursery, as such, are high
ly important so far as the
child's health is concerned. We
must not forget that a baby
passes fully four-fifths of it's
time in such o room during
the first year. Even during
the second and third years it
is likely to remain in its own
nursery about two-thirds Of
every twenty-four hours.
For proper growth and
vitality, sunshine and fresh air
are essential. Therefore a
nursery with southern exposure
is to be preferred. In fact, a
sunny room always contains
less humidity, while the air
likewise is cleaner and hence
freer from organic matters OF
various kinds that may irritate
or cause disease.
It is always ideal when no
work, such as washing, ironing
or cooking is done in the baby's
room. An open fire likewise is
a blessing. Regarding tempera-
ture, 72 degrees Fahrenheit is
desirable, but a little lower is
always better than a little
higher. At night the tempera-
ture of the room should not
be allowed to fall below IS.
Protect the baby always from
draughts. Likewise keep the
nursery quiet. The theory that
it is best to get child used
to noises, such as the radio,
as early as possible is erroneous,
for it overlooks the fact that
noise irritates the infants deli
cate nervous system, even if
the child is not awakened by it.
A metal bed for the baby is
better than a wooden one be-
cause it is more easily kept
clean. Those where one side
lets down are a great convent
ence. A hair mattress should
cover the wire springs, and
over this there should be a
rubber sheet, then a draw sheet
and lastly a plain sheet.

Party for the Bride

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. A very good friend of ours
went abroad to be married and
now he is coming back with
his bride, and I would like to
give her a little party. In what
form shall give it? I would
like to invite some of his friends
and some of ours. Do they give
presents?
2. Is it all right for me to
greet another girl with flowers
as she gets off the boat?
A READER.
!. There are many charming
forms that this party might
take-a tea on Saturday or
Sunday afternoon, a buffet sup
per on Sunday evening (Which
would be an excellent form for
the party, an evening Of bridge
or any other kind of game, or, of
course, a dinner party if this
is convenient or although you
could invite more people to the
other forms of party.
The guests would not be ex-
pected to bring presents. If
they wish to send presents to
this couple who were married
abroad, they would probably
send them before this party.

Nov suppose she'll go to

home with the story that Maud
and I staged a wild party here
last night" Dodie said bitterly
as soon as she was gone.
"Well, that's what you did
have, wasn't it?" asked Shar-
lie. "You just ought to thank
your lucky stars that she thinks
it was a wild party-and not
just two men that you and
Maud had invited here!"
A look of amazement that

Dodie's face.

She actually sputtered as she
talked. well, you'd just better
keep your tongue between your
teeth, young woman!" she cried.
"Just realize that you're talking
to your mother!"
But Sharlie felt as if she
were talking to a child at that
moment. There was a new dig
nifty about her as she faced her
mother. A dignity that neither
her tragic marriage nor her
widowhood had given her.
"Dodie, how could you do a
thing like that to Dad?" she
asked. Il could hardly believe
my eyes when I looked in at
the kitchen window last night
and saw those two men there
with you and Maud. That was
pretty cheap stuff, 1 thought"
Cheap stuff. Jim Barnum
had used that phrase the night
before when he talked to her
about her dance hall escapade,

What do you mean, talking

Maud Hanaberry's metallic
voice asked suddenly, and she
wheeled around.
MaudS lace was distorted
with anger.
"Dodie." she said, you're
crazy to let this kid talk to
you the way she's been talking!
It's none Of her business what
you do and the sooner she gets

off to her grandmother's until
her father gets back to town.

emollients are not suitable, the

Eye strain is relieved by

it causes the eyes to squint, and

Infants and Their Care
By DR.. Louis A. Bisch

Infants do not require pill
lows, and care must be taken
not to use too many blankets;
nor should the child be tucked
in so tightly that its normal
muscular movements are inter
ferred with.
Be careful also that the baby
is well dried and powdered
after it's daily bath. The room
in which the bath Is given
should also be warm, but not
hot. Always allow the child to
kick and play in the bath a
few minutes; it is good exer-
else.
Speaking of exercise brings
to mind the fact that crying
is a form of exercise; namely,
exercise for the lungs. Babies
actually should cry now and
then. With a little observation
a mother soon learns whether
the cry Of her infant means ill
ness, temper, discomfort or what
not.
In taking the child out Of
doors, which should be done
twice a day and for as long as
possible, keep it in the sun but
: do not let the sun shine di-
rectly into the eyes.
Rocking the baby and taking
it up too often are both bad
practices.
The average mother, espe-
cially when the baby is her
first, is likely to be over-solici'
tous rather than the least bit
careless. Fretting over the child
does neither child nor mother
any good, and often it leads to
nervousness in both.
Where the welfare of her in
FAINT is concerned let every
mother try always to get the
proper perspective and to be
as scientific as possible.
DIR. Bisch's Daily Health Hint
Ten rules for eating: Eat at
regular hours; eat slowly; do
not read or talk excitedly while
eating; chew the food well; eat
a varied diet; eat what appeals
to the palate, but guard against
excesses; never leave the table
feeling "stuffed";; cut down
water intake during a meal to
the minimum; start the meal
with some sort of appetizer
when not hungry; rest after
each meal.

Note of Regret

Note of Regret
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I recently received an invi-
tation to a class reunion in
another State. AS I was unable
to attend it, I don't know how
to answer, as 1 was requested
to reply. The reunion was
held at a woman's home. I
don't know her, but I know
her children. Also I don't
know who wrote the invitation.
Should write to her or my
class teacher?
The letter was delayed in
getting here, and the reunion
was held last week. M. M.
Under the circumstances I
think that it would be gracious
Of you to drop a note to each
one, your class teacher, who
may have written the invita-
ton or who at least would
know who did and would pass
on the letter to her, and the
other note to the woman who
was the hostess of the reunion.

Day!
"I believe marriage is
doomed" a gloomy young man
Of %, Irving B., writes me.
IF not, who's going to finance
It for us?
Nov, I have been engaged
more than two years. My sal
ary has been reduced to a
point where I couldn't possibly
undertake the res-2 onsibility Of
a home.
Repeatedly I have offered
to release my fiancee, but
this always hurts her feelings
very much. She has an ill-paid
librarians job, which often
occupies her evenings, and her
idea is that if she kept on
working, we could marry. But
I believe that a girl who mar
ries should give herself entirely
to her husband and her home.
Must I forcibly jilt this girl,
deeply as I love her?
And how about the thousands
Of young men in situations like
mine? What do you think,
Miss Fairfax? Is marriage old
Stuff'?"
Nonsense, Irving! You are
In a tight place, perhaps, but
at least part of your difficulty
Is imaginary.
You have an old-fashioned
conception of marriage, with
the husband as the glorious and
powerful head of the house,
the wife playing the role of de-
voted and self-effacing hand
maiden. At the present time,
such notions have to go on the
junk-heap.
If you and your betrothed
are both well and strong, and
if your two jobs seem to be
fairly steady ones, my advice is
to end the nerve-strain of that
already-too-long engagement,
and take the leap.
Women are in many ways
more practical than men.
Trust your fiancee's inspira-
ton.
OF course, you'll have to skimp
and do without things. But
isn't that better than an end
1eSsly deferred marriage?
In fact, as I see it, you have
the chance to found a great
family romance. Live so that
your grandchildren will love to
tell the story of it.

A PuIse-TingIing Novel of Modern Youth
BY the Author Of "A FIaPPer Wife"
WASHINGTON FASHIONS By Wilma LoWNe

The general spring trend for
simplicity makes itself seen
and heard in shoes more than
in almost any part Of your cos
tune. Shoes are no longer
fussily trimmed, nor are they
loud in color. They have trim
lines, often almost mannish in
their effect, and they flatter the
foot by their simplicity rather
than by any elaboration. True,
they are trimmed, but in sim
pie, tailored ways, such as the
combination Of two feathers,
perforations or tucking. The
trend has been coming on for
some time, and has reached a
beautiful perfection this season.
Shoes are none the less inter
esting for it, but rather more so,
for they give your foot a chance
to show good lines.
A New Sports Type
Pumps and oXfords are the
two leading types, and you have
pumps higher cut for greater
comfort. and oxfords lower cut.
The great exception to these
two types is the very new shoe
with wide T strap up the center
of the foot. 1t Is a sports-like
shoe, but will be seen on the
street this spring, too. Cuban
and Continental heels are seen
more than higher types, due to
the fact that women are more
active than they've ever been,
and they don't mind showing it
in their dress. Kid will be the
leather worn most before sum-
mer shoes appear, except for
sports, when the rough grain
feathers are smart. Black, blue,
beige and gray are the colors to
choose, cccordi-- to your cos
tune.
Kid Is Pin.Tucked
If you want something that
Is strikingly new, and that can
be worn with all types of street
costumes, choose tucked kid.
You may have seen it in town
already, in pumps or oxfords,
sometimes tucked all over, some
times pin-tucked in a design.
We've photographed some
pumps with rows and rows Of
tiny tucks from toe to heel, and
you can see how smart they
look on the charming model.
The heels are plain kid. These
shoes, which are only Sc, come
in black and beige kid, black
for your black and white or
your gray costumes, and beige
for colored and beige clothes.
