Paris-The mid-Season collections, teeming with beautifully modelled chiffons, laces and other airy fab- rics, prove conclusively that the tailored mode will hold It's own throughout the summer, 50 the wo- men who detest frilly, fluffy sum- mer clothes can breathe a sigh of relief.
 The great thing about all this tailoring is that, invariably an ul- tra- feminine and therefore logical touch, is introduced. This, achieved either by soft pastel colorings or vivid color contrasts, the addition of the sheerest of blouses, a volurn- inous cascading jabot, fluffy ruff, or 8 bright posy on both coat la- pels, offsets the extreme sobriety of cut.
 All-White Coats In Vogue
 AS the season advances, the ubiquitous touch of white, which has already appeared in generous proportions on the first spring suits and dress and jacket ensembles, will be replaced by the all-white coat. The n-eighths redingote, strict ly tailored, the fingertip swagger, the flaring tunic and the short, Tuxedo type of jacket offer the widest choice for every possible type of silhouette. Paris has decreed this the ideal formula for summer

Feet that are groomed regularly will be comfortable as wen as beaiia tifuI. The woman who gives here self semi-monthly pedicure, push~ ing back cuticle, treating callouses and, finally, covering each toenail with bright polish, will have feet to be proud of on the beach and less chance of aches and discomfort dur ing the summer months.
 You should begin with . brisk brushing. Use your bath brush or one of the new special foot brushes that are curved to harmonize with the shape of the feet and which have flexible bristles. Use plenty of thick soap studs and scrub cal- loused spots vigorously.
 When you have finished, dry carefully, especially between toes, then put oily cuticle remover around toe nails and on calouses. If you like, use a mixture of powdered pumice and olive oil on callouseS and rough areas. Incidentally, If you apply oil and purnice or oily cuticle remover several times a week between pedicures, the skin on your feet will become soft and white and lovely within a short time.
 Sec Doctor About Corns
 Use an orange stick to push back cuticle and an emery board to re- move rough edges on the nails. Do not cut corns and never use Q razor on callouses. Removal of corns is a job for the foot doctor. BunionS, arches that always ache and scaly spots between toes require profes. sional treatment, too.
 Now rinse your feet again, dry thoroughly, and your toes are ready for polish. This may match the lacquer you use on your flngernails or 1t may be Q darker shade. In any event, you ought to pick a pol- ish which will stay on 10 rtwo weeks (any polish that will stay on hands for one week will stay on toes for two-sormetiines three) and one that won't fade when exposed to bright sunshine, or chip when wet with salt water. Right now there are several tl1ew colors that go well with suns tanned feet and legs. The rust tones, for instance, And warm scarlet shades, including a new robin red.
 Cotton Pads Prevent Smears
 You can cover each toenail from cuticle to tip, or, if you like, leave the half moon exposed. Be sure to put small cotton pads between toes before you start. These keep toes apart and prevent polish from smearing.
 When the polish is quite dry, inas- sage your feet with 8 good foot cream, working upward from toes to ankles. Some women use spec cial foot ice that is cooling on hot days. Others massage with cuticle oil or plain tissue cream. Before dressing remove whatever cream or oil you have used for massage and dust feeth with talcuin or bath pow- der. If the pedicure is given just before going to bed, you can leave cliitcle oil on all night. It absorbs rapidly. Anyway, 1t doesn't stain either sheets or clothing.

Chanel's smart coat dress of light beige Iainage Is trimmed with white .pique cuffs and necklin0 bow, brown leather belt and but. tons. The Panama hat Is beige,
 gloves and purse white. city wear, and these white garments will top sheer black or navy chif- ion dresses, crepes and even prints.
 Pique, uncrushable linen in all the new weaves, and heavy hand- knit or crocheted cotton are smart. One of the great advantages of the white coat or jacket is that it al- ways can do double duty as evening wrap for informal casino or coun- try club frocks.
 Color Accents White Frocks
 The printed dressmaker suit, al- lowing for little more fantasy in details of cut, is another of faSh- ions features which the Parisienne has adopted enthusiastically. Dark backgrounds with lnulti-colored irn- pressions are the smartest for this type of suit. These, completed by transparent chiffon blouses in one of the vivid colorS of the print or else as sornber as the background, are good for all formal afternoon functions and for informal dining out-of-doors.
 The all-white suit or dress, long absent from the Paris fashion scheme, has staged triumphant comeback, and the most important collections show at least two or three white models.

sidered, as you please) I think any man or woman who becomes a. well, an ancestor, is @ sad specimen of the genus Homo if he or she even feels disappointed that the baby is boy or a girl.
 One of the most encouraging signs of the times, to @ pessimistic observer, is the line way in which the young prospective mother re- gards her condition these days, and the congratulatory attitude of her girl friends. How much better this spirit is than the old time embar- rassment and lifted eyebrow. This wholesome attitude of the present generation ought to bring about the indicated reform in our school sys- tenn by the time another generation will have come to pass.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Nail Biting
 wonder if your correspondent who scoffed at the advice you gave about manicuring the nails regular ly as means of breaking Up the nail-bitlng habit, knows what she's talking about? My nail biting was stopped that way, and I know of several persons who have had simi- lar experience. (Mrs. H. E. R)
 Answer - Careful manicuring twice Q week will correct the habit in many instances, whether who knows what which is talking about.
 BIOod Donor
 Son, 24, has given blood twice at intervals of a month. The pay is good and he felt no i'll effects. Would 1t be safe for him to con- tinue as a regular blood donorp (Mrs. A. s.
 Answer-Yes. If his health suf- fers, the physician will reject him. There are more healthy donors available than are needed, 50 that only the healthiest are used,
 Silly Habit
 To thank you for your booklet. It worked wonders with me. I have had no use for laxatives since I re- ceived the booklet (R. O.
 Answer-.Send ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress. Ask for booklet 'The Consti- patton Habit. First reading won't bother you much. You know better than mere doctor about such mat ters. Second reading may get you wondering. But you'll toss it aside and mutter something about the crazy old doc. Then weeks later you'll pick it up again, and who knows. you may sec the light. Any- way, thousands of victims Of the physlc habit have been freed by the contempEibIe little book.

Your Baby's Health
Baby's Modified Milk Must Be Clean,
 To Prevent Digestive Disorder

other method is merely to add su- gar to the whole milk and to re- duce the total quantity of food that is taken.
 Tn such cases, good deal of ad- ditional water is given between feedings. This adds to the amount of nursing necessary for the baby.
 An average mixture is one which contains about 2 ounces of whole milk, 3 ounces of water, and 1-2 ounce of sugar. Such mixture may be made with boiled, fermented, or acidified milk. In certain climates, 1t may be preferable to use dried or evaporated milk.
 This mixture will give about 20 calories to the ounce and contain about l5 per cent of protein, 35 per cent of fat, and 50 per cent of car- bohydrate. The feeding may be prepared with boiled, pasteurized, skinned, dried, evaporated, sweet ened condensed, or fermented milk. There are also special preparations called protein milks, acidified milks, and all the different proprietary foods.
 The mother should ask her doc- tor what to use, and how to use 1t. Babies vary in their reactions to these different mixtures.
 If the family is unable to afford a visit to a doctor, there are in most large communities suitable infant welfare stations where complete d. rections concerning artificial feed- ing are supplied, and where visit ing nurses will oversee preparation of the formula and teach the moth- CT how to develop 1t.

EVERY BABY IS A MIRACLE

EVERY BABY IS A MIRACLE
 The prospective mother, even though well educated as educations go, suffers as much from her ignor- ance as she does from the ignor- ance of her friends. Superstitions harass her at all times. Tales of disastrous occurrences whispered in her ear by gossips add to her need less burden of anxiety. If she but knew the truth she could antici- pate with tranquility and joy the miracle of life, the birth of her baby. What boon 1t will be for the race when the common schools junk folderol courses in algebra, Shelley and abnormal psychology and give every boy and girl at least an elementary knowledge of human physiology, embryology and the care and feeding of infants.
 The first duty of the expectant mother Is to engage the physician who is to attend her. This can't be done too early; 1t is often done too late. The physician's service begins when he is so engaged and contin- ues generally until Q month after confinment. At least @ nominal part of the physician's customary fee for this attendance should be paid when he is engaged, and the bal- ance at the time of confinement or in monthly installments Up to the time the physicians service termi-' mates.
 Throughout the waiting months the prospective mother should listen to and follow only the instructions and advice her physician gives her. Since she has retained an expert why turn to pamphlets, books, mag azines, newspapers or well-meaning but incompetent friends or neigh bors or guidance?
 A question which misguided ex- peotant mothers frequently ask Is which anesthetic is hest for child birth. If the selection of the anes- thetic cannot be left entirely to the Judgment of the physician, then by all means discharge him and engage one In whom you have reasonable Patients undergoing surgical treatment do not attempt to dictate which anesthetic shall be used. Obstetrics Is surgical treat ment, fin every instance.
 To set the date for the miracle count forward 2oO days from date of last menstruation, or backward three calendar months and add sev- en days. This gives the probable date of confinement, within 8 few days one way or the other.
 God only knows whether 1t is to be girl or a boy. But anybody can make Q fifty-flfty guess, for that's the general average of girl and boy babies. All kidding aaido (og con-l
