 A loveller-thnn.it-mny sound color combination, noted recent. ly at q drossmnking house in the Rue Royale, is il pale jade green with c deop and decided henfia. These colors were used for q suit, the green being q light, soft silk skirt and three. .guarter straight and unlined jacket; hat of the same material trimmed with n band and several iooped bow of deep hennn velvet ribbon. A blouse formed the third piece of the en.

Every Child should Have a Pet

Every Child Should Have Pet
 Arc tame white rats germ car- piers? A mother nsks the question, for her children have several of these pets which they handle q great deal, and she has ofton won- dered if the animals arc safe for the childron to have.
 Yes, white rats or white mice are safe, and 50 are any other animals children like to keep as pots--pro. Vidod.--
 And this condition applies in every instance, not only of tho handing or care Of these pets by children but of their handling by adults as wAell---
 Provided the child is taught to Do clean. Not just to be clean when mother is watching, but to be cloanly in personal habit. In. variably whenever q child or an adult handles, pets, feeds or plays with any animal, dog, cat, mon. key, goat, skunk, toad, snake, tur- tie, leopard, bear, crow, squirrel, parrot, pigeon, pony, he or she must never neglect to wash the hands immediately. This is essen- tini to prevent the carrying of in- testinal parasites from animal to man. Tho GEES of various worms harbored by animals are likely to bo present in the saliva of the animaI--microsco eggs. So if tho animal happens to lick the hand that pets him, or if in any way the food or water of the mas- tor becomes contaminated by tho pets saliva, infestation with worms Is likely consequence.

You remember what happened to Edith last year?" Claire nodedd rather siffkily. Cousin Edith spent a whole afternoon in her bathing suit one day last spring, and got so burned that she was really sick and had to stay in bed for two days after 1t. "Very well. then," added Mrs Johnson, "bring Baby Johns clothes to me, and you and Robert get dressed as quickly as you can" "The first one ready" added Mir Johnson, "gets the first wiener tO tOhst, CihiTeb idce Ht up. Come on. Robert" she cried, Cor I'll race you" And in no time at ali. all three youngsters were dressed and crouched over the fire, toasting their lunch.
 I was glad to see Mrs Johnson SO sensible about sunburn, for every year I am called in to treat chiIdren--and adults too-who have burned themselves to a blis- ter on the first hot day. A good coat of tan Is both becoming and heaIthful but 1t should be devel- oped gradually. Severe sunburn can be as dangerous as any other kind of burn and can cause d. gesfive upsets and fever. There is no sense in letting children run the risk of this. Moderation is a good slogan for this summer.

COOL DECORATIVE IDEA

Huge pictures with pretentious- looking frames have no place on walls In the summer time. If you feel that walls without any deco ration are much too bare, hang up small prints.
 Inexpensive floral' prints and small etehings in rather fraiI, dainty frames are suggested. But use them sparingiy. Five or six should be enough in living room while dining and bedrooms can do with even leEs.
 Heavy tapestries and wall hang Inrs must come down too. With the windows open 50 much of the time. they'll collect too much dust and. in addition. they mako a room seem oveforowded and too warm for comfort.

Although way back in the sixteenth century some doctor in England said of the straw berry: Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did", strawberry short cake is distinctly an American in- stltution and of comparatively modern concoction. However, we might gay the same thing about the shortcake that this "chiefest doc- tor of England" said about the ber- ry because there Is almost no des- sert that Is more popular.
 Although shortcake is almost invariably associated in our minds with strawberries, all the fruit in their seasons are temptingly good served as shortcake.
 ld-fashloned shortcake is al- most a full meal in itself. If it's served with lots of rich cream and plenty of fruit very little more Is needed to make q well balanced meal. With this in mind plan to use A shortcake dessert after a light meal unless you serve very small portions.

 We had the first picnic of the season last Sunday. MT and Mrs Johnson, Claire, Robert, Baby John and l took lunch down to Mirror Lake and spent several hours there enjoying the sunshine.

 Individual Cakes
 Instead of making one large shortcake the dough can be cut in rounds to make individual cakes. These are split and served like the large one. If you like to serve your dessert from the Kitchen tho individual shortcakes are nice but the one large cake makes very handsome dish for the hostess to serve at the table or for the maid to pass for each one to help him self.
