Needs the Rest

During the first weeks of his
life he will sleep from 18 to %
hours out of the "a, if he is
given proper encouragement to
form the habit: even when he
is six months old he will sleep
from 16 to 10 hours. When ne
is a year old more than half
his tirne-at least Il hours
should be spent asleep. He
needs all this rest because he is
growing so fast-remember
that the normal baby doubles
his weight in the first six
months of life.
How is the sleep habit to be
taught? First, by the provi'
sion of a comfortable sleeping
place; the separate room If
possible, the separate bed IN
any event. The bed must be
firm, the coverings of the right
weight, the baby must be
turned over now and then.
The second step in promoting
the habit of sleep is absolute
regularity and system on the
part of the mother. She must
put her child to bed at the same
time every night, and his feed
ings and bath should be given
at fixed hours so that his maps
will be taken on schedule.
The mother must not allow
the baby's sleep schedule to be
interrupted. This means that
even if Great-Aunt Sarah ar
rives unexpectedly some eve
ming baby must not be taken
out of his crib and put into her
eager arms. She and other
would-be adorers must wait I'M
til he wakes up to pay their
homage.

Lipshcks
BY JULIET SHELBY

If we are to judge from
the number of women who
write in about their lipstick
problems, there is still room
on the cosmetic counters for
as many lipsticks as there are
shades of nail polish.
It amused me to learn that
many of the stars in Hollywood
use lipstick as their only day.
time cosmetic-that is, when
they were not on parade for
their public.
These girls often go without
rouge, powder and eye makeup
during their free days, just to
give their skins a chance to
breathe and to benefit by the
glorious California sunshine.
See how frequently you can
leave your face free of all make
up this spring and summer.
Cleanse it thoroughly and pat
the blood into your cheeks. If
you feel too unadorned, too
naked, follow the Hollywood
fashion and use your lipstick,
and perhaps a little cream, as
a necessary protection.
Gloria Swanson's most fasci-
mating feature is her mouth.
Her lips are smoothly rouged at
all times, and she chooses her
lipstick shades as carefully as
she chooses the colors of her
gowns.
Most women are unaware Of
the little articles of lip make
up. One lipstick serves them
until it is a horrible mess and
until, at the suggestion of a
candid friend, they buy new
one.

DeceiUes Self

Love is the very staff of life.
Unhappiness often results when
a girl isn't grown-up enough to
handle her own love affair or
sensible enough to find good ad-
visers. Learn all you possibly
can as to how you may wisely
welcome love into your life.
But you will only be deceiv-
ing yourself if you imagine that
love is a thing that can be
ignored or completely rejected
without heavy loss in the course
of any career.

Household Boon

The baby whose sleep habit
during the night is we'll fixed
is boon to every household. To
insure this, omit the feeding at
2 a. m. as soon as your doctor
permits; it is not usually con-
sidered necessary for very
long period. Let the baby's long
est nap be in the morning, after
his breakfast and bath.
Give him a shorter nap in the
afternoon and enough play so
that he will feel like rest when
bedtime comes. On the other
hand, there should be no violent
play just before that hour, as
it will leave him restless and
overstimulated.
Remember always that going
to sleep ought to be the baby'S
own habit-not something into
which he is rocked, petted,
wheedled, or doped with that
nursery abomination, soothing
syrup"

Invitation Direct
ar Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Please tell me if it is proper
for girl to visit the mother of
her boy friend, even though they
are not engaged? He has asked
me to a dance, but I do not
know whether to stay at their
home or go to a hotel. I'm
afraid that his mother might
feel hurt if go to hotel.
x. Y. z.
If the young mans mother
has written you inviting you to
stay at her home, it is thor
oughly correct for you to accept
her invitation. The fact that
you are not engaged to this
young man does not make any
difference in your accepting this
invitation.
But what does make the diff
ference is that you must have
an invitation directly from the
mother, who is the hostess IF
the home. An invitation from
the young man only is not ade-
quate, and you should not &C.

InfIexibIe Rule

Nor must the mother. for her
own convenience and pleasure,
interfere with the sleeping
habits of the baby. To disturb
a tiny infants nap, or to take
him out in the evening, because
the mother herself wants to go
somewhere and cannot leave
him alone, is unwarrantable ex-
cept in some grave emergency.
This inflexible rule may seem
to work hardship on mothers,

herself desires most, if she is

Etiquette
Bridge Party
Shower
Shower Hostess

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am planning a wedding
shower for my sister-in-law. I
would like to have IL girls in
all so that there will be three
tables for bridge. I wonder if
it is correct to invite girls who
do not know one another but
all know the bride-to-be?
How should I go about ask
ing each girl invited to let me
know if she cannot come so
that I may invite someone in
her place, but still assure each
girl that I want her to come.
w.
Yes, this is correct. So long
as all the girls are close friends
of the bride-to-be, it isn't nee
essary that they know one
although they usually
do.
Your explanation that the
party is to be bridge party
will do the trick in making
each guest realize that it is
important that you have her
acceptance or regret at once.
If you give your invitation
verbally, or by telephone, you
can graciously explain this,
and it will be just as easy in a
note of invitation.

yarn has slightly twisted and
hubby surface, which makes it
interesting enough when it is
knitted in simple stitches. 1t
knits up very quickly, as it may
be used on large needles. And
even the simplest designs are
striking when done in silk, be-
cause of the beauty OF the
thread.
Garments of this thread are
said to wash beautifully, with
out losing luster or color, and
they will neither shrink nor
stretch, even when they have
had many trips to the tub. This
makes it a particularly good
edium for your summer
things, which you will want in
white or paStels.

Quite Different
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Recently read something in
your column, with which I dis
agree. You say it's a mistake
for girl to tell man how nice
he is, and how much she's in
love with him.
My girl tells me these things.
and every time she tells me, I
love her all the more. We've
been going together for three
and a half years.
Many a boy drops girl, be-
cause he thinks he's wasting his
time, even though she accepts
his dates and kisses him. She
has got to tell him that he's
the one and only.
DIFFERENT.
The case of a young man
and a girl who have been de.
voted for three and a halt years
Is very different from that of
a young lady who pursues her
game ruthlessly on short &C.
quaintance. And that's what
I was writing about in the let
ter to which the young man OBJ
jectS.
If memory serves me, a man
wrote in that he was being pur-
sued by what he called "a tele-
phone hound" and I begged
young ladies who fairly chase a
man up a tree, on short &C.
quaintance, to desist in their
own interests.
