TIME story of the Summer next.
to-skin garments seems to
be story of next-to-nothing
u in the way of weight and
boning. yet something that has
texture enough to mold firmly and
is designed with such skill that
the appearance of well-molded
figure is obtained with the least
amount of restriction and the
greatest amount of cool comfort.
You know the cry about light
colors-ilow they are apt to make
the figure appear larger. That is
something to guard against and
watch, even if the temperature
suggests nudism, for entire disre-
gard for some sort of figure con-
troll is always unSightly except on
the most slender young girl. And
so, whether you are partial to an
sll-in-one corselette, or a girdle
with separate bra, you will be able
to find them in thin, cool versions
that will appeal to you and make
the hot months more bearable.
Air cooled and streamlined are
the terms used to describe the new
girdle just being Dut on the mar
ket by a well-known manufacturer.
Ii controls your bulges, but never
hinders your actions. IL never slips
out of place, nor chafes. nor binds
It's of a grand, new porous, open
work, tWO.Way stretch laSteX, firm,
smooth and soft to the touch. These
girdleS take to water like a duck,
toe. 1t is IA inches long, has a
broadcloth abdominal reinforce
ment, smooth seamless hips. hooks
part wsy down the side and the
earters are the smooth bumpless
kind. This is shown on the figure
in the inset. 1t also comes in a
corselette model.
THE lace psntie is a most attrac-
tive garment for Summer. 1t
is made of finest lace lastex; light
at the waist and around the legs
and a reinforced section back and
front for firmness and added con-
troll. This garment has no boning:
you just step into 1t and pull it up
snugly and there you are with pro-
lection and support where you
need it most and the added con-
venience of separate pantie being
eliminated. as this is both girdle
and pantie.
Many OF these panties are made
without garters, to be worn with
the new knee-length hose. especial

Beauty Hint.

Dark glasses for suntanning, and
sports that bring you into the noon
day glare, are splendid solution
to save the eyes, both from strain
and from wrinkles caused by
squirting. In the last year or two
dark glasses have definitely entered
the style picture, and ii is smarter
to wear them than not.

Fruit Juices Give Real
Service in Baby's Life
Because of Vitamin G.
Hospital Record Contributes Present Knowl-
edge of Effect When This Is Lack
ing in Diet

And it was all right. Usually
the mother lived a more or less
placid, sheltered existence; it didn't
occur to her to smoke, or to drink
alcoholic beverages; she went to
bed early, and rose early, with the
baby; her food was simple and
good and she didn't stay out night
clubbing until dawn, exhausting
her strength and her nervous sys-
TEN. Life as a whole was on a
quieter scale, her nerves were
calm, and therefore the baby
throve on his nourishment.
s& n ~
RUT now things are different.
Many times the baby'S mother
has to go to work every day, and
has no time personally to attend to
his sustenance Even if this is
not the case, the way we all live
now, at a high rate of tension and
nervous strain, is detrimental in
its effect on the baby that lives on
its mothers milk. Under there cir
cumstances the bottled formula
has come to be the best solution
to the problem of raising healthy
babies.
Bottle fed babies do not get much
vitamin c from the cows milk that
is in their bottles. Cows milk,
when fresh from a COW that has
had feed rich in vitamin c, does
contain the vitamin, but much of
it is lost before the milk can be
delivered to your door. The milk
is usually pasteurized for the
baby's safety in order to kill any
harmful bacteria which it may
contain-snd this heating destroys
Vitamin &.
Therefore, the vitamin c content
must be injected into the baby's
diet in some other form. The most
concentrated sources of this vita.
min, suitable to the baby's use, are
orange juice and tomato juice. The
baby needs so little of either that
the expense is negligible. Few
juices for their BABIES if they re-
allied how terribly important they
are.
THE Bureau of Home Economics
says that apparently some
mothers feel that the juices are a
nice thing for the baby TO have, to
add to his enjoyment, if they can
easily be afforded, but that they
are not a real necessity. One doc
tor saws that he has observed
among his poorer patients a ten
dency to drop the fruit juices first
of all from an overstrained
budget.
For sone baby, two or three
oranges week are enough to sup
ply him with adequate juice. Never
squeeze the orange and let the juice
stand, however. as vitamin content
is lost in that way. 10 make one
orange go as far as possible for the
baby. the bureau advises cutting a
piece of one end, squeezing the
juice from that for one feeding.
then turn the cut surface of the
orange into a saucer and set it in
a cool place until next feeding
time. Then repeat the operation
and turn the cut surface again on to
a plate-and so on until the orange
is used up. Keep tomato juice care
fully covered and cool, if you use
the canned variety for the baby
If you use fresh tomatoes, you can
squeeze one each time.

BY ANGELO PATRI.

IF YOU are weary of telling the chill
= dren to keep their fingers out of
| their mouths, take courage and begin
again. They must keep their fingers
out Of their mouths because their
fingers are never clean, never free OF
germs of one sort or another. and it
Is not safe for them to stick their
fingers in their mouths. Mouths are
the best of all breeding places for dis
ease germs, and finger tips are the
| most likely places for germs to rest.
Teach the children to keep mouths
and fingers as far apart as the length
of their arms allow.
1t is easier to say this than to do
it. For some reason authorities differ
on the matter. Children turn to their
mouths for comfort. Grieve a child
and Immediately the lower lip drops,
the eyes fill and the fingers go to the
trembling mouth. Take the fingers
out.
Be gentle about this. It is hard to
keep ones patience, but 1t must be
kept. The child does this instinctively.
You are fighting q deep-seated in
stinct, and If you are not careful about
your manner of combating the evil
you will increase it. If you are angry
and snatch the offending finger from
the mouth you increase the childs
need for comfort. He feels a degree
more friendless and alone than before,
and the need for the pacifying finger
is greater. A series of such expert
ences strengthen the habit and you
find yourself fighting harder than
ever.
When you see the finger go to the
mouth take it out, gently. Smile kind
ly and at once direct the child's at
tention to something lively, something
active. say lively and active because
you need to catch his attention at
once and static, imn1ovable things do
not interest little child nearly as
much as the lively active ones. There
goes Fido chasing sparrow. Silly
dog. He can't catch him, can he?"
That usually sends the little one to
the window, eager to see the chase.
But don't make the mistake of send
ing him to see Fido If Fido is not
there. That will only work once. Next
time 1t will meet with the scorn 1t de-
serves. Use the liveliest thing in sight,
but don't try to make him imagine 1t.
It must be actual.
Next to a lively active thing use
pleasant sound. Whistle like a bird,
If you can. Turn on the radio, it usu-
ally supplies sounds that attract at
tention on the instant. Do what you
can to instantly direct the child's at
tention to something interesting, and
then start him on some active employ
ment.
Don't tell little children that they
will be i'll If they put their fingers in
their mouths. 1t won't do any good
because they have not the background
to interpret sickness. You can tell
the older ones. those of school age,
that this practice is likely to bring
them illness they would not want to
have, and they will understand and
remember.
Try to have hands washed after
every playtime, before every mealtime.
After that be content with keeping
them out of their mouths.

Psychology

Rural and Urban Minds.
IN WHAT respects the rural mind
differ from the Urban mind?

" WI1A1 IcSpeCLS l1IC EuAoA hAAAA
differ from the urban mind?
In the first place, the ruralite is an
individual. The urbanite is a mem
ber of a group. While the city man
says, I'VE do this" the ruralite says,
IT do this" There is no real public
opinion in the country. So farmers
can't cooperate. That may be the
reason they have been crying for eco
nomic relief.
In the second place, the ruralite
thinks in terms Of magic. He knows
all about the weather signs, what it
means to plant crops by the moon, why
the squirrels some years have an
especially heavy coat of fur. Close to
nature, he thinks in the language of
nature, which in the long run is
mystery.
In the third place. the ruralite is
noted for his suggestibihty. That's
why revivals, camp meetings and ex-
elements over epidemics have always
had a good chance to flourish in the
country. Being suggestible, the rural
ite has often fallen prey to all sorts
of smooth-talking swindlers. Some OF
these lessons were taken to heart and
passed on from generation to gener-
alton, creating another trait known as
rural suspiciousneSs. Suspiciousness,
in turn, has tended to drive the rural
mind back to its shibboleths, its
formulas, its laws of nature, its belief
in magic.
OF course, all this will gradually
change. Good roads and automobiles
are taking the ruralites to the city and
the urbanites to the countrYA

Supervised Combing
and Brushing
Important.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

SINCE we all have to be victims OF
- habit, they might as we'll be pleas
ant, profitable ones. 1t is not amiss
to start the young ones off on the
road to beauty via the brush. Just
as soon as they are able, let them use
the toothbrush themselves. The hair
brush ditto. Supervise the beauty
rites. Correct a misstroke and ex-
plain why the right way is the bet
ter way. The youngsters love the self
assurance and Importance that comes
with doing things for themselves. Per-
mission to do these things flatters
them.
One reason why many of them rebel
against the bath or similar measures
of cleanliness and grooming is merely
traceable to the mothers attitude.
Jane, you must use your toothbrush" "
isn't the right approach. But say,
Jane, see how clean and white and
shiny your teeth look after scrub
bing, and not a teeny. weeny bit of
food left between to start decaying
and decay the teeth, too. And,
Jane, your hair, keep brushing it
see how clean and glossy it is, and
that's how it will be when you grow
up. Everybody will say, What lovely
hair Jane has, if you keep up the
brushing"
Whenever possible a child should
have his own room. or at least his own
closet, with his Cor herr set of hangers.
Appeal to the child's pride. teach him
to keep the room neat, his clothes in
order. The lesson will wear well,
mother, when the child grows up, will
save you many footsteps and heart
aches. It's all in the training when
they are little.
Along with hygiene habits of brush
ing, teach them the reason for each
health rule. Why fresh air is good
for them, and sleep, and water and
good food and exercise. What a
foundation for health and beauty you
can start for them when they are
young!

DEAR MRS. POST: In house that
has a butler and a cook and
chambermaid, who prepares the salad?
Answer-Properly the butler makes
it, but this is not fixed rule because
in some houses perhaps the cook
makes better salad dressings than he
does, and also it would depend upon
which one has the most to do. The
chambermaid has no part in this
question.
and service must be simple.
pour the coffee at the table and the
sugar and cream are passed around
the table. Shall these containers be
passed on their tray or separately?
Answer-As a rule the person who
pours coffee pours it completely. Ger
tainly you know how much sugar
and cream each one in your family
likes. Many families without servants
have "lazy susan" "a revolving
tray) in the center of the table on
which is put the whole coffee service
as well as all dishes that would
otherwise be passed from hand to
hand. If you prefer to pass-rather
than pour-the cream and hot milk
and sugar, the two pitchers should
certainly stand on tray because
unless every one is exceptionally care
full, pitchers are likely to drip from
the spout and spot your tablecloth.
Dear Mrs. Post: How far over the
edge of the table should the cloth
hang? N..-
Answer-Fifteen inches over the
edge Of small table and Is inches
over a large one is about right. A
difference in size would better be
less rather than more.

Answer-In all formally appointed
houses dessert spoon and a fork
are brought to the table on each des-
sert plate. If, however, only one i'm
plement is to be supplied, then
fork should be chosen for a compete
because you can impale piece of

man knowing that ne loathes her2
What do you think I should do?
BOB.
Answer-You certainly are having
to pay for marrying for revenge, but
it seems to me the punishment more
than fits the crime. The silliest and
the craziest thing that anybody ever
does is to rush into marriage with
some one they don't care for because
some one they love has married some
body else, but because you have COM
mitted this folly should not condemn
you to a lifetime of misery with a
woman you have come to hate, and
who must be unhappy as you are in
marriage that is mess from start to
finish.
/ CANNOT understand why she wants
to hold you against your will. Was
she so insanely in love with you that
she was willing to take a gambling
chance on winning your heart on the
rebound that made ner willing to
marry you at all? If that was the case,
realize that she has lost out, and set
you free.
Or did she marry you for a meal
ticket? Was she one Of the girls who
would rather work a man than work
a typewriter and who married to get
a support? If that Is the case, you
can buy her of.
In any case, she is just as much to
blame for your spite marriage as you
are and is as responsible for its conse-
quences. She cannot be considered
an ignorant victim because she knew
that you were in love with another
woman and did not care for her, and
that you were marrying her out Of
pique. Hence she would not hold you
to your bargain if she had much pride
or self-respect, so under the circum-
stances I think you would be perfectly
justified in leaving her even if she
will not give you divorce. One false
step taken in anger should not ruin
whole life. DOROTHY DIX.
