PATTERN 1918

There just isn't anyone whose
feminine charm isn't increased
with the addition of a "frilly"
morning frock! Most especially
if that frock is fashioned OF
crisp cotton with a fresh, bright
print to its credit. Don't the
brief scalloped shoulder cap and
beruffled scalloped yoke give
this dress the very Spirit OF
Youth! And that's the right
spirit to start the morning with,
too, so make up enough of them
to start every summer morning
right. A cool trick is to ellml'
nate the cap sleeve entirely,
then the yoke ruffle fetchingly
caps the shoulder. You'll find
the pocket as handy as 1t is
decorative.
Pattern 2318 is available in
sizes IA, 16, 10, 20, 80, "a, So, 38,
40 and AZ. Size 16 takes 3Hs

tifically prepared.
You and I agree that it is a

q bottle of sun tan lotion at
once. These May days usher in
sun-bathing time, and from your
first twenty minutes under the
sun, your skin should be pro-
tected.
Let me give you the name of a
new sun tan oil, not as expensive
as some on the market, which
comes with a soft wool applica-
tor-like the old-fashioned liquid
shoe polish applicators! It is an
excellent preparation, and you
will acquire natural sun tan
without burning.
You must apply it before every
sun bath! And later, when you
loll around the beach as long as
Marion Marsh does, you can
apply it whenever your skin has
absorbed the previous applica-
ton.

Worst Medicine

Why do they submit to
such narrow-minded, clustering
tyranny? once a man gets that
kind of power over his family,
and he's convinced that it's his
chief duty to discipline them,
there is very little chance of
any freedom.
But why, when a woman finds
herself married to a man of
this sort, doesn't she stage her
uprisingS early and often?
Bullies have a way of regard
ing themselves as deities. They
like to deal out thunderbolts,
laws, proclamations, commands.
What they need is a lady who
will show them"
Docile women are the worst
medicine in the world for do
nestle tyrants.

Petty TyrGnnies

No company, especially boy
friends, parties or any sort Of
informal gatherings, are permit
ted in this home. But the father
does not hesitate to take eX-
pensive hunting and fishing
trips when he feels that his
health requires a little change.
These trips necessitate the rent
ing of boat, and father pays
his share like a gentleman.
It would bore you to repeat
all the petty tyrannies, re-
counted in the letters, to which
the mother and daughters have
been subjected.
The head Of the house does
not even permit books to be
taken from the public library,
because they might take frivo-
lous novels, and these might in
Spire the wife and daughters
to be frivolous, too.
The girls may not sing in the
church choir. because they
might meet young men, and
father does not wish them to
marry. But in spite of all his
caution, laws and regulations,
the older daughter has got her
self engaged.

others, it's almost impossible
to have too many.
Modern OverStuffed
AS a mere hint, we're show
ing some overstuffed modern
furniture that would fit nicely
in any contemporary setting.
It's rather inexpensive, too,
chairs priced 5000 to $84,
divans from $50 to $165. You
can buy the pieces to match,
or in contrasting fabrics, as
you prefer. Or you can buy
either. its not necessarily
set.
The pieces photographed are
covered with orange and brown
plaid with arms in brown crepe
cloth. The other pieces are in
harmony, and the draperies at
the window are cellophane.
Glass and Crystal
In shopping for smaller gifts
for brides, don't overlook the
modern glass and crystal that
is so smart and so beautiful.
Lamps are another good idea,
for there can never be too
many. Tall torches for indi-
rect lighting or small table
lamps are equally acceptable.
There's stunning modern
china for the brides table, too,
and even silver in contempor-
airy patterns. Then there are
the secondary metals, alumni
mum, chromium and the va
rious compositions that make
smart accessories for living
room or for the dining room.
Any and all of them will be
welcomed by the June bride.

Helpless Victim

All these insect pests, how
ever, are a great discomfort and
a real danger to children. In
the face of their onslaught the
helplessness of a tiny baby never
was more apparent or more
appealing.
A baby can't swat a fly, or
kill a mosquito. He is a mlSer-
able victim to both, j. they are
permitted to come near him.
A few mosquito or black fly
bites can transform cheerful,
happy baby into fretful, wall
ing child who is miserable him
self and makes those in contact
with him vainly sympathetic
with his misfortune. Who has
not pitied such a child, his
round velvety cheeks marred
where he has rubbed and
scratched the irritating tiny
wounds left by his tormentors'
ugly red spots on legs and arms
and even the little body?
It is impossible to explain to
a baby that, if he will only
let his mosquito bite alone, 1t
soon will stop itching. He
doesn't know what you're talk
ing about, and besides he prob
ably is much more uncomfort-
able than the same provocatlon
would make you.
A child's skin is so thin.
sensitive and delicate that in
sect stings actually hurt him
much more than they hurt the
average adult.
The child's uncomfortable in
stinct is to use fists or finger
nails on the itching surface,
and so, of course, he makes
his injury worse. Often his
mosquito or fly bites are bleed
ing by the time he is through
with them, and a new danger
threatens.
The Washington times., 1935-05-20
Protect Plants
From Pests

Failure of peonies to pro
duce blossoms may be due to
a number of causes, among
them the presence of miser-
able worms or facilitating dis
eases. Nematodes, which are
microscopic worms, cause ugly
gals or knots to be formed
on the roots.
The ever-industrious plant
pathologists in the United
States Department of Agri-
culture have lately discovered
that digging the knotted roots
and holding them 80 minutes
in water of 100 degrees Faren-
heit kills not only the nema.
todes but also such other dis
eases as crown and root rot.
Moreover, if the plants can be
reset in sterilized soil, these
troubles may not reappear.
Sanitary measures carried
further will help to eradicate
gray mold.
Peony leaves during the
summer have had a grayed ap-
pearance, every stalk which
shows signs of this infection
should be removed in the fall
and burned. Hard, black, OBJ
long bodies the size of a mus
tard seed are an additional
evidence of this type of botry-
tbs.
Spraying with Bordeaux mix
ture or busting with a copper
lime preparation weekly during
the summer will control this
fungus.-CourteSy of House

Germ Carriers

Finally, even if an insect
like the common house fly
does not bite, it is a disgust
ingly dirty thing to come in
contact with your baby or his
food. A fly's feet are covered
with dirt and germs; it may
have lighted on manure or
carrion or any other filthy
thing.
Just because you would need
a microscope to see the dirt,
you need not delude yourself
that it is not there. You should
shudder at the idea of a fly
walking up your baby'S clean
little cheek-even, perhaps,
alighting on his mouth.
This subject of child protec-
ton against insect pests is so
important that the next article
will be devoted to it.

to attend a shower with me and
/ am undecided as to who pays
the admission, which is one
dollar per person. A says that
he should pay for both of us,
and B thinks 1 should pay.
Before saying goodnight, is
1t proper for a young lady to
ask her boy friend when he is
going to see her again"
How should a person go
about introducing ones boy
friend to her aunts and uncles?
"P."
B is right. Since you are
doing the inviting, you should
pay for the tickets or pay the
admission.
The young lady shouldn't be
quite as definite about the next
date as this. If they have been
somewhere together, the girl
thanks the boy for the delight.

if she wishes, she might add:

hope to see you soon" This
leaves the prerogative OF the
next engagement to the young
man-as it should be.

friend to her aunt, she says,
Aunt Mary, may I present Mr.
Allen?" or Aunt Mary, this is

Mary, Mr.. Allen"
When she is introducing him

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 am expecting to become
a mother very soon and
group of my very dear friends
gave me a shower. Now these
friends live in another city
and sent the things through
mail. 1 would like very much
to send each of these friends
a little note of thanks. Will
YOU be so kind as to help me
with this important matter?
Oh"
The notes of thanks might be
worded something like this:
Dear Jane:
what dear you were to
plan such happiness for me
and to plan it at such a dis
lance. I was deeply touched by
your gOOdnes and sweet
thought, and 1 thank you, with
all my heart.
"The bonnet is beauty, and
1 can hardly wait to put it on
the head of our heir or heiress!
I've never seen anything more
delicously "babyiSh" than that
bonnet, SO sheer and sweet and
perky. I'm sure that the baby
will be as proud to wear it as
am to have it-and will prob
