 And 50 it is, if we look ct it this way. Everything k unfair. At tho moment could close my type- writer with Q bang, wish I were part of c century younger, and rid- ing Q surf.board behind c motor driven boat manned by 6 handsome youth whose solo thought was to land the world at my feet (not just torra iirma), and eventually let me lead Newport society.

 Wishful thinking is good for all of uB, PROVIDED we don't get too miserable over life At hand.
 am not saying that life b al. ways good. By tho greatest stretch of imagination I cannot find rec compenso for tho mother tied up In hot rooms with her babies, be. yond any hope of fresh air or broeEeS; or those in the drouht belt or the dust region; or the sick and the suffering and the handicapped.
 But by comparing her lot with that pictured by the fiction dis- pens0rs, believe many women must Do wearing of their fates unneces- sarily.

NEW PARIS HATS ON UP
CROWNS AND FEATRS TT SKYWRD oN
BY ROsETTE HAR0R0vE NEA Service Stan Writer

Parls-Paris is going top hat. The topper-motif applied to women as well as men ct the fashionable race meetings which capped Paris orande gema..se. High hats with Q flare end . feather,s high hats with a sugar-cone slant, high hats with a hint of Q BAvarian dent at the top were seen everywhere. The fashs ionable Paris season didn't 90 out with the 0Rande eeFnaine; 1t went up into the air.
 If everything wasn't going 90 well for Madame la Marquise (to pAraphrase the crazy song that is sweeping Paris), the style cfea- tors were undaunted by recent political bugAboos here. So they sent the usual number of iIlannes uuins to display their creations in the beautiful Addocks of Auteuil and Longehamps, among the pretty horses and cutRway-coated spoFt1- men.
 Modes Are Cay Elegant
 The effect was aA gay and ele- Rant as if the usual quota of aris- tocrats had turned out to trade tips on winners in horEeflesh and fash- ion. And perhaps Q little more be- wildering.
 While there were . few freak fashions to be noted, here and there compared with former years, these were decidedly in the minority. The best dressed women wore neat, al- belt gay tailored suits or simple dresses in silk and linen, the fore mor mostly printed. Prints, by the way, have toned down considerably. There were none of the wild and weird animal, bird or street scenes" motifs that were brought out early in the season. The designs favored tiny geometrical patterns, dots of varying sizes, end rather small, multicolored floral arrange mentB.
 No Trailing Skirts
 A few tulle, lace and orsandie garden party" type gowns were worn -- minus the trailing skirts - and even thcs0 were tailored, trim affairs.
 The new hats were tho cynosure of all eyes, providing an advance idea of what women will wear this coming fall, but there were few, # any, important fall clothes to be seen, The hats and tho range of au-

FAULTY NUTRITION AND
 ARTHRTT1R


 Obstacles in the way of progress in the treatment of arthritiB are first, tho obsession that exposure to cold and dampneSS is Q factor of tho dIsease, and second, the obses- sion that acid has something, to do with it--uric acid, fruit acids, the acid ash of certain kinds of food, Too often proper treatment is nee lectcd for long periods while the victim pursuoB fadB and fanciea based on these obseBsior1s. Much harm has been done in chronic arthritIs by ill-adVised attempts to exclude from the diet certain de- sirable foods which some charlathn "avidosis" or leave acid ash.
 There is no good reason why one with arthritis should not have meat regularly. Tn fact most competent authorities agree that the diet should include Q liberal amount oi meat and fat. If anything iS to bC restricted it is the carbohydrate in. take, particularly refined carbohy. drates--white four, sugars, Byrups refined corn meal, polished rice,-- tho things of which most people take too much for the good of theii health anyway.
 Many physicians have found thai diets liberal in protein (neat, eggs cheese, milk, peas, beans, fish), Il supplemented with optimal rationi of vitamins, especially vitamins E 0 and D, favorably influence tho course of chronic arthritis. Patients seem to do badly when they take too much carbohydrate, and res striction of the carbohydrate intake alone will often relieve swelling anc discomfort in few days.
 Arthritis sufferers should take whatever fresh fruits are in season or available, and especially the so- called "acid" fruits or fruit juices or fresh or factory canned toma- toes or tomato juice. It iB . serioui mistake to avoid these healthful fruits in the attempt to prevent imaginary "acidosis," for the fruit acids (except large amounts oi prunes, plums or cranberries) arc alkaline in their final reaction in the body, Moreover the fresh fruits are the best sources of vitamin ( and good sources of vitamin A and vitamin B. This applies to fresh or factory canned tomato or toma-

"What can l do to get rid Of dis- coloration5 (small brown spots, real- Iy) around my mouth and on my chin?" asks a reader.
 It general is Q good idea to consult your family doctor about skin problems that appear to be the result of an internal disorder. It may be that you have some minor organic ailment which, Of course, calls for medical rather than beauty advice. Perhaps your doctor will change your diet. In any event, do make an effort to see him, then be sure to do what ever he suggests.
 It really is too bad that more beauty-Eninded women do not seem to realize that health is the foudation of real loveliness. The right food, adequate sleep, fresh air, moderate exercise and medi- cal advice whenever needed make for shining hair, sparkling eyes, clear skin and . slender, supple body.
 I think your family doctor h an excellent person to turn to If your skin continues to show small blemishes for weeks ct Q time; when your complexion stays gray ish or faintly yellow for days and days or when you go around look ing and feeling sluggish, bat ten1- pered and definitely slowed-up. If he thinks you ought to consult c skin specialist or any other kind of specialist, by all means do SO. But see the family doctor first. Only he can tell whether or not you need 8 specialist and, If SO, just which kind.

 Development of the mind or in- teIligence in. babies Is associated closely with children's ability to control their muscular actions.
 Babies must learn certain things that are necessary for comfortable living. They must learn to control certain physical factors associated with their bodies. They must learn to tell the difference between peo- pie and things. and between their own people and strangers.
 Tn previous articles listed the various ages at which babies de- velopment will permit them to per- form certain functions.

Your Baby's Health
Child's Mental Development Depends
 Much On Its Physical Abilities

with their eyes
 Young babies will grasp anything put Into tho hand. At the end Of the second month, babies may be able to handle objects taken into their hands.
 At the end of tho third month, they may begin to wave objects about and to scratch them on the floor or on the table. It iB not until the fourth or fifth month, however, that hand m deye movements begin to be associated.
 By the Bksth month, the babies will bc looking on tho floor for ob- jects which they drop, and will en- deavor to pull toward them objects which they cannot reach.
 At the end of the first year, ate tempts to lmitate words and actions of other people are noticeable.
 Speech differentiates human be- ings from other animals. The prog ress of speech, therefore, is one of the best tests of the mental advance ment or children.
 Another test is the ability to draw. Still further changes are ape parent in the kind of stories which interest children and in their will- ingness to listen to stories and to assimilate the information that they receive.
 Some children learn to read much earlier than do others. After they enter school, the teachers will keep records of their progress.
 Some children, too. do not do aS well in school as others, although they appear to be quite as intelli- gent. Here the difference depends on the adaptability of the children, their habits of study, the amount of interest that they show, and their physical condition.
 All these factors should be taken into account by parents in estimat- ing the mental capacity of their children.
