Bath Accessories

Be sure that the bath water
is the right temperature and
that you have close at hand
everything you will need-such
as soap, towels, absorbent cot
ton, oil, washcloth, clean clothes.
Clean the baby's ears, nose
and eyes gently but carefully
and wash the top of his head.
Support the baby's body in
the bathtub, so that he never
slips or feels unsafe, but en-
courage him to kick and Wriggle
and move about.
Wash thoroughly, rinse off all
soap. pat dry. Use oil instead Of
powder in the creases, to pre-
vent chatting, and dress the baby
in clean garments.
Be cheerful, confident, and az
fectionate, throughout the bath;
don't act as if you were afraid
of what you are doing, or as if
you doubted the baby's own en-
joyment.

Flat Heels

Flat-heeled shoes are seen
everywhere. even on 4he dance
floor. For day wear there are
lovely peasant type shoes with
brightly colored tongues, bind
ingS and lacings. These come
in white with red, green or
blue; in brown with green, or
vice versa, and in other color
schemes. The tongues are
pinked at the edge and flare
upward. Heels are almost flat.

Off-the-Face Hats

Seek advice before you choose
an off-the-face model, for this
line is difficult for all but the
very youthful. Better a brim,
to cast beautiful and mysterious
shadows. But if you can wear
a bonnet, then you will like a
model done in brown stitched
taffeta. The brim is caught by
a large tailored bow in match
ing brown cire satin. The crown
tapers toward the back.

At her oldest sons wedding,
a wedding breakfast was given
to the bridal party and the i'm
mediate families, thus causing
hard feelings among all her
sisters and relatives not at
tending. Therefore she has de-
cided that she wants to have
this reception in her home so
that all may attend.
| My home is just a small
apartment and most OF my re-
latives live in a distant city.
Do you think it would be cor
rect to allow my future mother
in-law to do all this for me?
She is so very sweet about 1t
and very insistent.
| If this is not the proper
thing, how shall I tell her so
that she will not feel offended?
! I have belonged to a bridge
club for six years. Should
wedding invitations be sent to
each of the eight girls? M.
| I can never be enthusiastic
about a bridal shower that IS
planned by a close relative OF
the bride-to-be.
| It seems a natural and
friendly gesture for a group OF
the brides friends to plan a
shower for her, but when the
brides sister plans this shower
it seems to detract from the
naturalness. It definitely gives
the shower the appearance OF
d promotion for gifts.
| 7 agree with you that this
| plan Of your mother-in-law's is
kind and thoughtful. but it
does make the party her party.
I like more the idea of a brides
having her own wedding recep-
ton, planned as simply as it
must be according to her cir
cumstances.
Traditionally and convention
ally, the reception should be
given by the relatives OF the
bride and not by the relatives
of the groom, and if I were you
I should abide by that tradition
So I suggest that you have
your simple and informal gath
{ ering of your friends in your
| own small apartment, your own
| home, I am sure that your
Ynother.in.law will understand
YOUR sure taste about this, and
! will respect your social Judg-
I ment and choice.
| Explain to her, most gra-
ciously. that you would like to
| give your own wedding recep-
| tion, having it in your own
I home, and having it as simple
| as it must be under the circum'
stances.
I Perhaps you might like to
suggest to her that, instead OF
giving the wedding reception
for you in her home, she would
like to plan to give a post.wed'
ding reception for you and her
2! son, after you have returned
! from your wedding trip. To
: this she could invite all the rela-
tives that she is planning on
inviting for your wedding re-
; ception. This postwedding re-
ception would be q most charm.

much. 1t is better to be casual
about the whole thing.
"Never get excited about your
child's appetite. The minute he
turns away from his food, stop
feeding him. He may have some
good reason which he can't ex-
plain, or he may be refusing
for the sake of the attention
he gets. You will be tempted to
beg him to take just one spoon
full more. Don't do 1t! Take
the food away without any fuss
or scOIding. If your child re-
fuses a second meal, take that
away, too. He will not really
be harmed by missing q few
meals. When he is ready, he
will eat again.
"If you have the courage to
stick to these principles you
will probably find yourself the
happy mother Of q child who
eats and enjoys his food.

Choose a time when you will
not be hurried and when the
baby is not tired or has not
eaten at too short an interval
before. Mid.morning is for many
mothers and babies a convenient
and suitable hour.
Undress the baby and put him
in a good humor by allowing him
to kick and exercise freely on
the table, or in your lap. This is
a fine moment for petting him
and playing with him.

Don't Worry

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I went to a small town some
ago and I was invited to an
afternoon tea. About IS people
attended. I went with a girl
friend and we both took off our
hats. We were the only two
guests who did that.
I knew it wasn't proper after
I did it. Is it permissible? I
am worrying myself sick over
it. READER.
It isn't customary for guests
at a tea to take off their hats,
but don't worry yourself sick
about this" for it's a very slight
thing. Just check it up to the
debit and credit Of experience.
And console yourself with the
fact that while you did an I'M
conventional thing, you didn't
do anything to hurt anyone
else. It's when we're rude or
thoughtless or when we hurt
someone else's feelings that we
should worry"

Shall She Serve Cigarettes?

UNCLE wIGGILY's SKATE SAIL

One day when Uncle Wiggily was
hopping over the fields on his way
to look for an adventure he saw,
down on the frozen Duck Pond,
what he thought were many large,
white birds skimming to and fro on
the ice.
"That IS queer,n said Uncle Wig
gily to himself. 81 wonder where
those big birds came from? They
are too large for snowbirds. Per-
haps they are adventure birds. l u
hop closer and take another look. ]"
But when the rabbit gentleman
reached the Duck Pond he saw that
instead of being birds, the white
objects we're skate sails being used
by some of the animal boys and
girls. Jackie Bow Wow came close
to the edge of the frozen pond
where Uncle Wiggly stood and the
rabbit gentleman I'D see how the
skate sails were made.
Jackie had taken two sticks and
fastened them together in the shape
of a cross, like kite sticks. Then
on the sticks the doggie boy had tied
a piece of cloth his mother gave
him. It was part of an old bed
sheet.
"When l want to skate without
moving MY legs" Jackie told Uncle
Wiggily, "I Just hold up my skate
sail at my back and the wind blows
on it and it blows me just as the
wind blows the sail of a boat. It's
lots of fun, Uncle Wiggily. Why
don u you get skate sail and come
down here to play with us?'
Too Old for Such Sport
"Oh, I'm too old for that, saic
the rabbit gentleman, though he
wished he might have skate sail
"But it's no use wishing" he said
to himself as he hoped on
"Though I would like a skate sal
very much.o For a little longer he

OPPORTUNITY AT FAIR

One week from Saturday, the Imperial
County Mid-Winter fair is scheduled to
open at the fair grounds in Imperial
Officials of the fair association, which
is owned by the people of Imperial coun-
ty, are bending every effort to make the
fair success that will surpass the sue
cesses of former years,
In order to do this they will need the
fullest cooperation and support of busi-
nessmen and individual residents of I'M
perial Valley.
At this time the committee is selling
booth space in the exhibition hall. The
response is satisfactory but could be i'm
proved, and The Press urges fullest con-
sideration by merchants, manufacturers
and others who may wish to display
their products at the fair.
The price of space has been reduced
below the cost of other years, and IN ad-
dition the fair committee is offering cash
prizes of $50, S25 and SO for the three
best arranged displays.
With thousands of visitors from var
ious parts of Southern California expect
ed to visit the fair, the advertising bene-
fit to be derived from an exhibit is far
beyond the cost which the committee is
asking for space. Attractive displays of
merchandise or manufactured products
can be made to pay Tor themselves IN
many instances from business that re-
suits from exhibiting at the fair.
Although they might well make an APP
peal solely on the grounds of loyalty to
Imperial Valley, the fair committee
rightly solicits booth space on business
basis. 1t is good business for merchants
or manufacturer to advertise through the
fair, as past results have proved. Those
who obtain space and make the fullest use
of it, find that it pays.
This year there will be splendid enter
tainment in the big exhibition hall, so
that the bulk of the spectators will be
there a great deal of the time. The op-
portunity to put booth space to good ad-
vantage should not be overlooked by the
progressive businessman.
This is Imperial Valleys fair, owned
by the people and conducted for the peo-
pie. 1t is unique among fairs and its sue
cess should be a matter of pride to valley
residents. The fair committee is giving
its time without compensation to make
the fair a success and it is to be hoped
they will receive from all, the coopera-
ton which they deserve.

JOE PALOOKA' s
'STEP-FATHER
PRESS VISITOR

Joe Palooka's "step-father" and
Will Rogers uncle - was q visitor
at The Press office today to in
uuire after the welfare of his two
charges, only to be told that both
of them are solid" with Press
readers.
The relative" of the two famous
personages is Creston Brenner,dir-
ector of sales for The McNaught
Syndicate, Inc, for whom Joe and
Will work, the quotations around
that last word expressing sarcasm.
Reports from the hundreds of
newspapers throughout tina nation
which use these two features COIN
eide with that made by The Press
Brenner said. 1t was rather en-
barrassing to tell him that many
Press readers ignore the headlines,
the conditions of the river, politics
and everything else to read Joe
Palooka first and the "unimpor-
tantp things afterward, but all
hands felt better when he stated
the same situation exists elsewhere.
Joe is one of the most popular
features ever brought out in an
American comic strip, Brenner
said, "and we have reports Of brok-
ers on the stock exchange, judges
on high courts and big men in the
world affairs halting their impor-
tant business, either on the sly or
without making any pretence
whatsoever, in order to see what
Joe is doing.
of course Will Rogers is in a
class by himself as feature writer
and his little 'squib' in the daily
papers is worth every cent of the
big salary we pay him. He is a
world parsonage and his writings
are as popular in all parts of the
world as they are in the United
States"
The Press is negotiating with
/ Brenner for another McNaught
feature, and hopes, in the near
future, to make the announcement
that 1t has been secured. It has all
/ the earmarks of being as popular
as joe or viii and If it is obtained
we feel certain it will be equally
popular with Press readers.

to get "Knobby" Walsh TO agree,
