you do not let the baby or child suffer from exposure" Indeed it takes considerable strength of char acter as we'll as sound sense to give your children the benefits of fresh air and sunshine, even today. On one pretext or another some noSy neighbor is certain to feel perturb- ed about it. The outcome is 8 ques- ton of how dumb your neighbor thinks you are.
 In summer, spring or autumn it is easy to get the baby in the habit of taking forenoon and afternoon nap out of doors, shiledrs from strong wind, insects, animals and people.
 Exposure of just one arm or leg to sunshine, even diffuse sunshine or skyshine when there is no di- rect sunlight, has been found suffi- cient to prevent rickets, if it is a daily practice.
 Sun bath: Beginning at the age of one month, every baby should have a daily sun bath or at least an air bath in the monday sun light. How much of the baby'S naked skin to expose and how long depends on the season of year, cli- mate, altitude. Midsummer sun shine is richest in ultraviolet rays, between II a. m. and 2 p. m. A fair start would be exposure of the front of one leg only for three minutes the first day. Second day same for same leg, and then three minutes for one arm with three more for same leg. Third day five minutes for other leg, then five for first leg and arm. And so on, very gradually increasing length of daily exposure and area of surface ex- posed always stopping short of sunburn, striving to develop tan without burning.

It's easy to make lovely slip covers in three simple steps.
 First, pin your fabric right onto the chair, wrong side out. Trim of edges, leaving a generous al- lowance for seams. By this easy method you shape each piece of your slip cover exactly like each piece of the original upholstery.
 Second, remove pinned-up pieces from the chair, and haste. Try on as you would dress for fitting.
 Third, stitch on the machine and lol your covers complete. You can give additional smartness by whip ping an ornamental cord smack over the seams.
 Or you may prefer other seam finishes-binding, welting or moss fringe. Our 32-page booklet gives step-by-step directions for slip covers from selecting fabrics to fin- ishing plackets. How to make sofa cushions and auto seat. covers, too

SPARE THE BABY SWADDLING
 AND CODDLING

Young babies do not stand great heat as well as older children or adults do. An infant creates and must dissipate relatively more heat than an adult does, and hence re- quires less external warmth for comfort. The ideal hot weather clothing for @ baby is 8 dtdy or less.
 The silliest practice imaginable is buying and putting on shoes before a baby is old enough to walk Socks or stockings when 1t is cold, yes, but don't be absurd.
 Night Clothing: After the daily bath with luke warm water and plain toilet soap-the bath should be given not later than 5 p. mr dry the baby, rub his back 8 little with plain talcum while he plays and stretches, put on clean soft warm dry napkin and a long nightly and tuck him into bed for the night. Never let the baby sleep in shirt of stockings.
 Belly Band: This should be dis carded as soon as the navel IS healed and no longer requires a dressing g-usually within two weeks after birth. To keep any sort ot band or binder on the baby after this is simply to make the infant peevish and uncomfortable, espec- cially in warm weather.
 Exposure: Remember that babies create and must get rid of relatively more heat than do adults. whenever you are in doubt about exposure, don't judge by your own notions, but feel of the baby's feet and hands; if they are warm you may be sure the baby is okay. Or if the baby is obviously happy and en- toying the outing, repress your quaint obsessions for the moment and give the baby 8 break.
 When in doubt whether to put on this or that extra clothing, give the baby the benefit of the doubt leave it of.
 Wiseacre neighborS and old-fash- toned relatives will see to it that

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Mother, dear, do you know that dispositions as well as faces and expressions are contagious? I shall always remember the story lady I knew told (this very sub. ject had come up) about her exper- fence at @ library.
 She was out of sorts because her husband had been sharp on the telephone. No doubt he just had had a bad day himself. Well, she went to the library and spoke to the very even-tempered man at the desk about 8 book. She snapped at him when she found her chosen book was out. At that minute another woman spoke to him. He cut her off with an impatient word. And without any reason whatever she slapped the little boy with her. Children Catch Moods
 Husbands irritation had travelled its way from wife to clerk t0 wo- man to child. Like the arrow shot into the air, the word fell to earth somewhere. And I have no doubt the little fellow nursed his grouch and went home and kicked the cat. And the cat went out and fought another cat.
 Disposition is the most contagi- ous thing in the world. Sometimes it affects people by proxy. For ex- ample, if mother and father begin to heckle each other about house expenses, and the dinner table is anything but Persian garden of peace, watch the youngsters go out and picker about nothing.
 This goes for fathers as well as mothers. It happens that after a long hot day at the office, smoth- ering ride in the subway, and with 8 throbbing toe that someone stepped on, he goes home in mood that would stop the wheels of industry.
 Of all nights it has to be kidneys for supper, as the piece de resist ance. So he sits down and becomes as pleasantly acid as Voltaire at his worst. The whole family senses 1t. He may swear, or holler or just be ghaStly mean, but whatever he is, that arrow of humor will finish it's course Someway, be sure. The rest will be like him.
 Form of Self Indulgence
 The greatest indulgence we continue to preserve after we are old enough to know better, is our concession to moods. We are not allowed to kill people with guns or knives, but there is no law that prevents mayhem with tongues and frowns. So many families need good big dose of bicarbonate Of soda to sweeten up everybody. They aren't all sour, but one cross mem Der acts like poison and spreads his chemistry.
 If parents find dissention among the children and suspect that one child is responsible, then say this: Mary, you have to be more pa tient in this house. You can't go on expecting food and shelter and not pay for it in pleasantness." Or, John, your unruly temper has to stop. I won't have it. You upset the house and there is no reason why any of us should tolerate 1t" You'll be surprised, I think, just how much control Mary and John may suddenly develop. Yes, dispo- sition is very contagious.

GlorDying Yourself

Badly applied makeup is worse than none at all. Although it is quite true that touch of rouge and lipstick and a film of fine pow der improve the appearance of any woman, regardless of age, it is just as true that hit and hiss dabS of color and a coating of white will ruin her looks, no matter how lovely she is.
 The faces we see everywhere day after day indicate that more make up sins are committed with rouge than with any other one cosmetic. Hurried application probably is No. cause, and all the propaganda about being able to change the ap- pearance of the contour of your face, not to mention your person. ality, may be No. 2. ...
 There are no two ways about 1t. Rouge is supposed to cover the area where natural color would Show-if you had it. Do brisk exercises for fifteen minutes, then look at your cheeks. Or pat them for two min- utes. wait half minute, then scrutinize. After either of these, your color will rise, and where it shows is where rouge ought to be.
 Remember always that your eyes are the focal points of your face. Do all you can to make them ap- pear larger, more luminous. If you put rouge far downward on your cheeks, you will draw attention away from your eyes. Besides, rouge which is applied lavishly on the lower half of your face will make you look years older.
 If you like cream rouge, pick a soft variety, then practice putting 1t on right. Put one small dot of it high on your cheekbone (near your nose), another in the center of your cheekbone (half way between nose and ear), and the third dot between the two-below them, just under heath the bone. Now pat gently making the dots spread and spread until they meet. Pat the edges o1 the colored area until they blend leaving no harsh lines or streaks.
 If you need little more color add three more tiny dots and pal again. Don't try to get it all on the first time. Remember that most well groomed women agree that you should allow exactly half as much time for application of rouge as you do for quick morning makeup This gives you some idea of how important the rouging process is. | Powder ought to be one shade lighter than the natural tone o1 your skin. Press quantities on over foundation and rouge, then whisk of the excess with complexion brush or piece of cotton.

 Swimming, once a summer sport, is now a popular recreation Throughout the year. Development of swimming pools in connection with schools, clubs, and summer and winter resorts has been tremendous. The swimmer should observe cer- tain precautions:
 1. He should not enter the wa ter if he is overheated.
 2. It is not wise to swim soon after meal.
 3. Cramps of the muscles while swimming are 8 source of danger, but not nearly so serious 2 as is commonly thought. The danger comes not from the cramp, but from the panic which causes the swimmer to founder and sink. Whenever a cramp occurs, the muscles should be rubbed gently.
 {. If your teeth chatter and your skin turns blue, come out of the water immediately and warm up.
 .
 Everyone should know the simple procedure given by the American Red Cross for ordinary mechanical eesuscitation. They follow:
 Lay the victim on his stom- ach. Extend one arm directly over ! his head. Bend the other arm at the elbow and rest the patients cheek on his hand, to keep the nose and mouth of the ground

You need an evening gown that won't have to be pressed before you can wear it. Lace and uncrushable velvet are your best bets. If your topcoat is fur, don't bother with an evening wrap unless you have 8 small, short, easy-to-pack one. However, if your coat is a very sporty woolen model with fur trim- ming, take a wrap regardless of in- convience.
