skin supple; if they do, why
shouldn't women in general pay
as much attention to the skin
on their bodies as they do to the
skin on their faces?
Recently a prominent Fifth
Avenue salon, taking up this
question, concocted a prepare
ton that women could massage
thoroughly into the skin after
a bath or shower without worry
ing about hose and girdle stick
ing to them afterward. And at
last this innovation has reached
your cosmetic counter!
It is a rich, creamy lotion that
penetrates deeply and keeps the
skin soft while 1t protects from
exposure. It is a grand prepare
ton to soothe, soften and
smooth chapped arms and legs,
chafed skin, hubby elbows, goose
pimply arms and rough scaly
back. And it will be a joy to
the woman who lives in a hard
winter district.
This special body lotion, de-
lightfully perfumed, comes in a
very decorative bottle which
adds a nice touch to any bath
room or beach house. It's price,
though not low, is moderate,
considering its efficacy.

Homes and marriages go on

diapers.
In country places and in
small communities further pre-

as the disinfection Of toilets,
the prevention Of flies from

or the application to them Of
kerosene or some other agent
which keeps them from being

Use Fine Mesh

T advise cheesecloth as q
screen, since it is so fine that
even the tiniest insects find it
impervious. 1t also is inexpen-
sive and easily laundered. It
does not exclude air and tend
to make the child too hot, as
lace curtains or some similarly
heavy substance may do. IT cot
ton mosquito netting Is en-
ployed, the mesh should be fine
or the material doubled when it
is adjusted.
It must be draped over the
top and front Of the carriage so
that the baby is completely
shielded, yet has room to move
his hands about. If he is put
outdoors in a play pen, uprights
may be built at the corners to
carry the screening high enough
over the baby's head, and it
may be brought down to protect
completely the sides with their
Slated interstices.
If a little baby's basket or
crib is to be put under a screen,
the material may be pulled into
the right shape when wet. It
should be cut long enough so
that several inches hang below
the top edge Of the basket or
the lower edge Of the crib sides
(if these are made with open
ings between bars).
Through a hem around all
sides of the large rectangle of
cheesecloth or cotton screening
an elastic or tape may be run,
so that the cover can be drawn
tight beneath the object to
which it is adjusted.

The older children will rather
enjoy welding swatters. Every.
one, in the house with a baby,
should learn to enter quickly
and close doors tightly, instead
of leaving them open a crack
through careleSsnesS, or even
holding them open while talk
ing to someone on the other
side. In such ways flies and
mosquitoes invade a carefully
screened house.
Prevention Of insect life
should go along with precau-

Variable Scarf

Although you seldom see pic
lures of Hindu women with the
scarf off the head, the Paris
gowns were designed for the
scarf to be worn into the thea
ter or house, then to be draped
around tho shoulders for dane
ing, or for the rest Of the eve
ming.
The better designed gowns
are spiral, as is the one we
have photographed today. Most
of them have edging or trim
ming of beads (this is true OF
the Hindu costumes, too), or OF
sequins. Our gown is Of heavy
white crepe with brilliant CIR
die of green sequins. It Is COM
pletely spiral, too, from the
hem to the end Of the scarf,
which may be worn over the
head or around the shoulders.
