 Most of us like music of one kind or another. It brings pleas ure, which is kin to health. It makes for sociability, bringing peo- pie together for enjoyment of . common interest.
 Of all the recreative activities none is 90 promising as music. It has the power to erase the cares and problems of the work life.
 All this is preparatory to stating my belief that the school with sound and comprehensive music course is contributing sonething we cannot measure, to the morale, morality, health, and happiness of it's pupils.

 A woman who is going to have a child must eat not only for herself, but also for the baby.
 The child depends on it's mother for it's food supply, which comes to the baby through the blood ves- sells which connect it to the mother
 The food substances going to the baby are, for the most part, gov- erned by the food the mother takes If her food supply lacks substances that the child requires, these sub- stances will be extracted from the mothers tissues and organs to her considerable detriment.
 There used to be an idea that a mother had to lose a tooth for every child that was born to her It was a we'll established fact that the mothers teeth would become loose and decay during that period previous to childbirth.
 Now we know that, if the mother eats enough calcium and phos- phorus and gets enough vitamin D during this period, her tissues need not be compelled to give up these elements to supply the child. This does not mean, of course that she ought to overeat. Over eating would throw an excess bur- dren on her digestive organs and certainly her body is not in any con- dition to undergo excess of any kind.
 There is some slight increase o1 weight of the mother, which is nor mai during this period, but any ab- normal increase in weight will have bad effect. At the same time, the prospective mother need not think that she can keep down the weight of the baby by starving herself. The babys weight is not dependent en- tirely on the amount of food its mother eats.
 All food during this period should be well chewed to aid digestion exactly as it should be well chewed at any other time. Indeed, good general rule for the prospective mother is to eat the same foods that she usually eats, but to make certain that she gets plenty of milk, and more fresh fruits and vegetables than she would take ordinarily.
 She should watch particularly her supply of vitamins and such salts as calcium, phosphorus, iron and iodine. She ought to have eight to 10 glasses of water day, unless hel amounts of fluid are restricted by her doctor for some special reason.
 The necessary proteins will bt supplied by meat, eggs, milk, ant such vegetables as peas and beans The facts are important particular ly butter, cream, and cheese, be- cause they procvide vitamin A. The

-BEAUTY---- GlorUyng Yourself

 Salt water baths do a good deal to keep the body firm and healthy ' a reduction expert said recently. T always advise my clients who are losing weight rapidly to take at least three of them week. These keep skin from sagging or wrink- ling as weight is lost.
 First of all one should take a warm, soapy shower. Then, for 20 minutes, soak in tub of lukeWarm water in which four pounds of rock salt have been dissolved. When you get out, do not rinse, but pat your self dry with 8 coarse towel. Allow the salty film to remain on your skin for about an hour. Then rinse"
 For skins which feel uncom- fortablc and dry after hours of ex- posture to summer sunshine, this same expert recommended glycer- inc baths. You simply pour one pint of glycerine into half tub of tepid water and soakin the mix ture for IS minuets. Afterward, rinse in clear water.
 Of course, plain milk baths are marvellous skin softeners. After a regular bath dip a large cotton pad in sweet milk and pat your skin from head to foot. Leave on for an hour. If you like it, pour milk into the bathtub and soak in it. Buttemilk is fine softener and mild bleach as well.
 Speaking of bleaches, better use fresh lemon juice on knees, allows, feet and hands about once a week If your skin is dry, always smooth on cream or oily lotion after you have rinSed of the bleach.

 Paris (UP) The first days of spring have ushered in the suit sea- son. Every smart Parisienne, seen strolling on the boulevards or dining in the fashionable restaurants, wears suit. There is unusual variety in this line as regards style, color and material.
 The classic two-piece suit with a fitted, tailored jacket still is most popular but the longer, fuller coat is seen almost as frequently. The exaggerated back fullness, so popu- lar last fall, has been modified for the hip jackets. In this type suit, the jacket frequently dips slightly to the back. Collars and reveres frequently are exaggerated and stand out stiffiy from the neck of the coat. Brightly colored stock scarves are worn high at the neck

CHILD's MOTIVES FOR MIS- CONDUCT OFTEN ARE
 LAUDABLE
By Olive Roberts Barton

Mary had wiped the dishes for her mother at lunch. She had plenty of time because the school- house was only two blocks up the street. Lifting a plate from the clear. hot water in which the dishes were stacked she spattered the front of her dress with water. She decided to dry it by wiping 1t, but she chose the wrong method. She reached in catch-all closet for a clean hand towel, and picked up 8 dust cloth. The gray cloth left smeary streaks on the light blue dress,
 70, dear, Mary!" her mother walled. Well, you'll have to wear it anyway. The laundry hasn't come and you haven't another clean dress"
 Mary Decides for Herself 'My new pink one?" Mary sug- gested hopefully. The pink dress was a party dress and she had wanted to save 1t for her own birth day party, but goodness, she thought, she couldn't go to school looking like this. Every row Of seats | in her schoolroom was given a grade every day on grooming. If your dress was clean you gave your row point.
 "No, Mary, not the pink one. There goes the bell. Better run along, honey. We'll have lots of | .5.zaaaa {n,,n A,.vOxy v
 It wasn't tomorrow with which Mary was concerned. It was to- day. She slipped upstairs, changed her dress, and ran up the street. She forgot to put the blue dress out Of sight. Her mother found it Q little later and looked at it, puzzled. Then she opened the wardrobe door and saw that the pink one was gone. Sensitive Childhood Then she recalled the little girl, in a country school long ago, who had to go barefooted to class one day because her school shoes were being mended and her mother re- fused to let her wear her Sunday ones. She recalled the humiliation as she sat with her feet tucked under her until long after school was dismissed. She had pretended that she did not know her arithme- tic so she would not have to march out with the other children. The little girl had been too embarrassed to permit recurrence of the event. The next time her shoes needed re- soling she carried her good ones un- der her arm to school and put them on a little distance away. She had been spanked for it-but it was worth it.
 The mother smiled and slipped the blue dress in the laundry bag. She understood.
 Parents are prone to pay too much attention to the misdenfean- ors of 8 child and too little atten- ton to the motive behind the acts. We should lay more stress on the cause of the action rather than on the effect. If we ever get this tangle of human conduct unravelled, it will be because we have come into wise administration of this knowl- edge.

and the tucked inside the jacket opening.
 Although Parisiennes always have favored black, it is proving parti- cularly popular this year. This pos- sibly can be explained by the fact that many couturiers altered their collections for English trade after the British court circles were forced to wear mourning.
 Navy blue is almost as popular as black and all shades of green run a close second. The new sports or street suits frequently are shown with dark skirts and checked or plaid jackets = in contrast to the plaid shirts and solid jackets of last season.
 While suits are particularly severe in line this season, blouses have become dressier, frillier and more feminine. Stripped and printed silk materials are used for high-necked blouses with emphasis on full sleeves. Frilled organdy will be worn later in the season.
