Sleeping Quarters

Here should be kept the
baby's own things, his clothing,
what he needs during his bath,
his bits of furniture. The baby
himself naturally will not spend
all his time here, since, in good
weather, the more he can be
outdoors the better.
The important points about
his sleeping quarters at night
are bed to himself and a room
in which no one else sleeps.
Sun ought to shine into this
room for at least a part of the
day, and of course there should
be a window to open at night
in such a way that no direct
draught blows upon the baby.
Even in a two-room apartment,
one room, if possible, should be
given up to the baby at night.
Never allow the baby to sleep
in the same bed with an adult.
First, the air he breathes will
be better if he is not so close
to his mother or someone else.
Second, he will sleep better if
he is not disturbed by touching
someone or being touched.
Third, his mother, who as
suredly needs peaceful rest, will
not be disturbed by his own

Grave Danger

There is, finally, the grave
danger that a little baby may
be injured by a sleeping adults
movements in the same Jed.
The strength and weight of
such a person is dangerous at
these close quarters with a tiny
little child.
All of us have heard sad
stories of former days, when
it was more common for babies
and grown persons to sleep to.
gether and when the infants
were "overlain" - crushed or
smothered by their nearest
and dearest.
It is natural that, when a
woman has sufficient funds, she
should want to lavish them
upon the charming nursery
furniture and dainty accessories
which nowadays are available
for small people.
Yet a baby can be given all
essential furnishings at an, ex-
tremely moderate cost. Many
of them can be homemade, from
old boxes, and so cost practically
nothing. Here is another way
in which Father can do his
stuff" for his son and heir, or

Watch Length
Capes, in one length or an
other, are becoming to all types
Of figures. A short cape can be
worn only by the young and
slim, though half capes or capes
over the arm only are sometimes
possible for women who are
larger. Medium length capes are
becoming to almost anybody,
and they can do wonders for
you if you have a defect OF fig
ure that the cape can hide.
Three-quarter or full length
capes can be worn by almost
anybody, though height is al
most essential for the three
quarter type. And skirts should
be rather slim beneath the
cape, to get plenty Of contrast
in the line.
OF Navy Wooden
We have two excellent ex'
amples of the new capes on
this page today. The girl on
the left wears a cape coat Of
navy blue wooden, the cape a
smart length for both short
and tall people. It has the
new rundown collar right
under the chin, and is belted.
This coat is only, $19.75.
On the right is a three-piece
suit of beige wooden, a skirt,
Jacket and cape that snaps on
under the collar Of the double
breasted jacket. There is a
brown linen collar over the
jacket collar, which gives the
suit it's extra smartness, and
the buttons are brown. The
suit is complete, and unusually
good looking without the cape,
the cape can be worn separate
", and the suit with the cape
is stunning. All three pieces
are priced only $29.75, in a
downtown store.

Eyes Need
Care
nv JULfET SHELBY

Eyes, truly the windows OF
the soul, are almost without
exception the most beautiful
and expressive features of
woman's face. So why not
care for your eyes as dill
gently and as scientifically
as you would care for your
skin or hair?
To keep your eyes refreshed
and sparkling with an inner
vitality and happiness, you must
keep healthy.
Rest is the important factor.
And if you cannot get sufficient
hours of sleep, then at least you
can, now and then, lie back and
relax your eyes. Battle them
with a refreshing lotion or
apply drops that will draw out
the fatigue and inflammation.

They Were
Happy
Bv BEATRICE FAIRFAX

BY BEATKACE FAAhFAA
Dear Miss Fairfax:
We've been married for IL
years, and have been very happy,
although we have long since
outgrcwn early Sentimental1ty
and now take each other as a
matter OF course.
Undoubtedly, we're drifting
apart. I'm not interested in
any other woman, but I feel as
if I should like to have a va
cation from matrimony.
I have no children, so we
would not be wrecking any
young lives if we broke up.
CONSIDERING.
You seem to have drifted into
the doldrums of marriage, and
this situation is often saved by a
temporary separation. If you
lived away from your home for
six months, or a year, you
would probably realize how COM
Portable you had been.
Ordering your meals at a res
taurant or club eating the hap
hazard food of a boarding house
would probably make you real
ize there's no place like home.
A man wrote me once that
the thing which sent him back
to his wife, when he was try
ing out a temporary separa-
ton, was having to gather up
his clothes, make a list Of them,
take them to a laundry, and get
them home again. Undarned
stockings was another tribula'
ton.
These facts are offered for
your consideration. I think
you're not really as tired Of
your wife as you are going
around the same old beaten
track.

Effective Tactics

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Would you consider . man
lacking in character if, instead
of getting sore and staying
away for a week or two, he
should tell his girl friend in q
nice way to have more control
of her temper? The girl admits
she has a bad temper.
Don't you think it would have
been better if he had corrected
her nicely, instead Of sulking
and staying away for a week?
M.
It seems to me it would take
quite a bit of character for a
man to tell a girl, indulging in
a fit of tantrumS, to try and
have better control of herself.
And it begins to look as if stay
ing away, for two weeks, is hav'
ing a corrective effect.
