Double Purpose

Paint it to match the low
rocking chair and wooden stool
which Mother uses when she
nurses The baby, and which
naturally are kept in the baby's
corner, or make-believe nursery.
On top of this cabinet may
stand the baby's basketbed,
while the bathtub fits snugly
into the open space underneath,
along with two asbestos mats.
When it is time for Babys
bath, his bed goes into another
room to air, an asbestos mat is
placed on either end of the top
of the bath cabinet, to save its
painted surface, and the tub of
water is set on top of the mats,
at a convenient height for the
mother in her low nursing chair.
Another equally inexpensive,
but slightly more elaborate bit
of baby furniture is the home
made nursery cabinet. This,
too, is a box, but bigger one
40 inches long by 18 inches
wide and 20 inches deep.

Nursery Cabinet

AS in the case of the bath
cabinet, this one is turned so
that the open top becomes the
front, and is painted and
equipped with ball-bearing cas-
tors. In addition the sides are
grooved and two shelves are
fitted so that they can be slid
out quickly and easily when
the contents are wanted.
MO hers may use these
shelves for all the baby's cloth
ing, folded flat. On one shelf
can be the shirts and petticoats
and dresses. On the one below
it, sweaters, knitted sacques
and Shawls may be arranged.
Extra bath supplies and towels,
with the mothers bath apron,
fit handily in the bottom COM
partment.
Things most often and most
quickly needed, such as diapers
and handkerchief, may be laid
on top of this cabinet. There
is room here for the bath tray.
Baby's laundry bag can be
hung on a hook screwed into
the outside of one end. Across
the other end father may fit a
towel rack, which is convent
ent for hanging baby's colthes
when he is being dressed and
undreSSed

She Lost Him

"Well, lost him. And al.
ready I find I'm beginning to
live as if my tragedy hadn't
happened. I go to the movies,
and sometimes I let a man take
me out to dinner. Though I'm
thinking of Bill all the time,
I can laugh and talk and make
clothes for myself.
But 1 can tell you, Miss
Fairfax, that when I read of

girls who jumped from an air.
plane in England, because the
men they loved had suffered
the same fate, ' felt I was
pretty weak and cowardly, if
rot absolutel. disloyal, to keep
on living the way I do. What
do YOU think?"
What I think is that a girl
who is capable of a big love is
capable also Of leading a fine,
abundant life, and that this is
what she must try to do.
If her lover thought that she
was a wonderful person, let her
set to work with all her might
to prove that he was right.

really comfortable upholstery
are now available, and the con-
struction is such that it will
last as we'll and look as well as
any other upholstered furni-
ture. Furthermore, it is not as
expensive as most other types.
In the picture on this page
today, we're showing a three
piece living room suite which
would be smart in any interior
that is not too formal. The
pieces have the happy faculty
of fitting into almost any house,
because they are neither too de"
cidedly old or new. They are
modern looking, yet look well
with old pieces, or early Amer"
lean designs too.
The maple arms on the sofa
and one chair are hinged so
that you may have them wide
to hold your glass or book, or
turn them down, out of the way
when not in use. The pieces are
we'll constructed, sturdy, pegged
with wood, and they have much
more Smartness than it's pos
sible to show in a picture.
Horizontal Stripes
The cushions are covered with
a striped upholstery material,
used horizontally in the new
manner, two of them in rust
and beige, one in blue and beige
for contrast. The three pieces
are only $98.75. and will almost
completely furnish a living room
or sun room.
Shown also is a corner cup
board, which is really best as
dinette type, but can be used in
a living room. A low coffee
table and maple lamps finish
the picture, and add to the
charming effect. They are priced
moderately, too. and all pieces
are from a local store.

nary cold; a member of the
family may not feel quite up to
par; little hands and faces may
brush against germ-laden OBJ
jects.
These ordinary daily contacts
might easily cause days of dis
comfort, if certain precautions
are not taken. One Of the most
simple safeguards, and one
which is usually overlooked, is
a medicated soap which serves
as a disinfectant.
Recently a physician recon-
mended such a soap-one that
has been made since 1897. This
especially effective germicidal
soap serves several household
purposes.
Besides being a very COM
petent disinfectant, it may be
used to shampoo scalps-even
those that are slightly dis
eased or affected by after-ill-
ness irritation. This soap,
mild enough for young sensi-
tive skins, contains ingredi-
ents that will allay skin irri-
tations and prevent contagion.
It removes body odors. if
used regularly as a bath soap;
it is almost indispensable in
the sickroom for washing pa
tents and the hands of those
in attendance.
Then, too, it makes splen-
did disinfectant solution for
washing linens which have
been used by the sick, which,
in itself, is a very necessary
precaution.
Many skin blemishes and
raShes are spread from one
member of a family to another
by sharing towels which have
not been properly disinfected.
Children are careless and sell
dom abide by instructions; so
it is up to the mother to see
that a medicated soap is avail
able to help ward off disease.

reason to reproach herself,
Gladys is doing the unselfish
and really heroic thing in begin

day life, associating freely with
other girls and men.
And what I hope, Of course, is
that one of these men will fall

her to love him in return. Sec
ond love is every bit as natural
as first love, and it can be just
as beautiful.

suffered heartbreak can do her
no greater service than to bring
her in contact with congenial
young men. For the wounds
that love has inflicted there is
no better remedy than love it.

Old SchooImate

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Up to this time my husband
has been very sensible. We
have been married a couple Of
years, and I have twin babies,
almost a year old. Sometime
ago he met an old schoolmate,
and imagines he's in love with
her.
He sees her almost every
evening, as friends have seen
them together and told me. AS
I still love him, I don't wish to
give him up. and I think he's
only infatuated with this girl.
DOROTHY.
Stand pat, my dear, until
your husband comes to his
senses. He seems to have wan
dered off the reservation,
sooner than most young hus-
bands, and for that reason is
more likely to come out Of his
trance.
With twins to provide for, it's
to be hoped this young lady
may seek a boy friend with
fewer obligations at home.

Each day and all the day;
I wonder how the newsboy
Can always keep so gay?
It's: Here's your morning

And: Read the news!" at

Each to a merry tune.
The newsboy never grumbles
At wind or rain or sleet,
For he can bring some sunshine

tional way?
So many letters asking these
questions have reached me late
~ that I want to make my own
view of the matter as clear as
possible. Gladys X, who is 49,
puts her case like this:
For six months I have been
worse off than any widow.
Worse, because my beloved and
I were never married. He died
a month before the date set
for our wedding.
IT feel as if we loved each
other more than any two
people who ever lived. We
were in ecah others minds
every moment. Each of us
always knew what the other
was thinking. 1 adored every
thing Bill did or said, and
every day he told me that he
worshiped me. He was the
most perfect lover in the world.

Soap Is Health

"Above all, I guard the health
of my child. She gets plenty Of
rest and eats sensibly, and I
keep her away from any pos

These, you may say, are only
natural mother instincts. Why
should they be cited?
Many mothers do not realize

Afraid to Ask

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm in love with a lady who
has a 5-year-old son. Her hus-
band is dead, and she thinks
the world of that boy. I'd like
to ask her to marry me, but am
afraid she won't consider me,
because she's so crazy about her
baby. Shall I take a chance on
her refusing me? JIM.
Have you forgotten that old
tried and true quotation from
the Marquis Of Montrose:
HE either fears his fate too
much,
Or his deserts too small,
That dares not put it to the
touch
To gain or lose it all"
Pluck up your courage and

Etiquette
Arms and the
Young Man
BY MRs.CORNELIUs BEECKNIAN

By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it correct for girl to hold
young mans arm when walk
ing with him, if they are not
engaged, but are just good
friends? Or should the young
man ask the girl to hold his
arm, or should he hold her arm?
Some girls and I have been
discussing this question for
quite some time, and have de-
cided to write to you and ask
your advice. C..
Whether they are engaged
or not, the woman and the
man should walk Independently.
For the girl to "!drape" herself
on the mans arm is not good
form, not necessary. Or if
there is a question Of service
if, for instance, they are
crossing a crowded street or
crowded crossing, the man
either helps the woman by
putting his hand gently under
her elbow, to steer" her across,
or asks her if she wishes to
take his arm.
Also, in walking off a dance
floor, they walk independently.
But an usher at a wedding, for
instance, offers his right arm
to a woman as he escorts her
up the aisle. But under no
conditions should a man
"hnldn a Wnrnan's arm.
