Paris Styles
By MARY TENTRESS

United Press Staff C0rrespOndent)
 Paris (UP)--Heim's summer col. lection stresses the vogue for tailor. ed suits and tailored dresses and jackets for almost every hour of the day or night. Everything from beach clothes through evening gowns IS tailored and has Q short little jacket.
 Helm calls attention to the fact that the old style dresses of splashy prints have been replaced by tailor" ed ensembles with lond skirts in solid colors or small-paterned prints for the races, garden parties or Tor cocktails.
 For morning or sports wear there are suits in liene1 or lightweight flannel, usually with short sleeves. Many of the jackets can be worn in town over Q matching skirt or with matching shorts for the beach. In this category are several suits inspired by Freddie Bartholomew's film, Little Lord Fauntleroy," which are made like old-fashioned sailor suits with middy collars trim- med in braid. Then, there is a bicycling suit with brown linen plus fours, white blouse and brown linen beret.
 Bathing suits are in fascinating pareo prints in fine wool persey and there is one brief suit in red Lastex velvet which is guaranteed not to be affected by salt water. Over these are worn light cotton coats in bright prints, the coats worn loose and open, fitted to the waist with Q long flaring skirt.
 Best of all are the "Marihores" printed cotton, pique or linen dresses which can be worn on the beach over a bathing suit or in the evening. They are long skirted, have separate short jackets and velvet sashes or brassiere tops 70 match the color of the print.

 Children must have hearty noon meal, vacation or not. Hours of ac- tive play in the fresh air exhaust energy and make nourishing food necessary.
 There are certain rules which govern the choice of a child's daily diet and some knowledge of these rules makes meal planning much easier. Every child should have in his diet every day one quart of milk. He should have three vegetables, one of which may be potatoes and one of the others raw or green. He should have two fruits, one prefer ably raw. He should have one Serv- ing of meat, fish or eggs. A whole grain cereal, three slices of bread or toast complete the list of food absolutely necessary to maintain balanced diet and provide an ade- quate number of calories.
 If Q child does not want to drink his allotted quart of milk, 1t may be used over vegetables, in soups and in desserts.
 Make Food Attractive
 All foods are better served as simply as possible, but care must be taken to make children's food palatable and attractive.
 An easy way to plan c child'i luncheon is to include in 1t those items in his daily food requirements that are not served at breakfast ol dinner when the family are to- gether. Then if he is given his broil- ed chop or meat cake at noon, he may have the dinner vegetables provided for the rest of the family in the evening.
 Very often the luncheon desser can be counted as the main dish because Q large amount of nour' ishment can be put into Q pudding This type of dessert seldom | served at dinner and adds variet! if used for the noon meal.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-28

When the dinner is hearty and at an early hour simple lunch con of raw vegetable sandwiches, one hot cooked vegetable, Q glass of milk and 8 i1ourishing dessert proves most satisfactory for hot iloons. A vegetable salad with plain bread and butter sandwiches can take the place of the sandwiches and Q hot bouillon replace the hot vegetable.
 Another point to keep in mind is that luncheon dishes should be easily digested because the noon meal comes at the hottest time of the day. Insist on fifteen minutes rest before the meal and half an hour of quiet in the shade after wards.
 Hot and Cold at Same Meal
 Desserts for children should not be too sweet. Drinks of milk and eggs are nourishing, easily digest cd, quickly made and children gen. orally like them. It's 8 good plan to serve Q cup of hot bouillon or a hot vegetable dish when Q cold milk and egg drink Is served, how ever.
 Fruit juices also can be combined with eggs to make nourisllilig and inviting drinks. When these are used e hot vegetable cream soup with sandwiches of lettuce or some other green vegetable rounds out the meal.

 Your Children

 A mother wrote to me proudly "our three children have nevet been separated, not for a single day, and am sure you will approve os our system because you say that children are so good for each otla- er."
 studied over that letter and then applied it to some other families l know. Where the chile dren seldom get away from each other because they can't And es- pecially to one group where the little boy, the oldest, began to re- vert. He had promised brilliance, then suddenly he became quite and listless. The two younger children, girl and a boy-baby became the gods of the house and from that time on he took Q back seat. He stopped the rapid development, uninterrupted for his first few years.
 His parents had not noticed the change at first, then one day the little fellows mother spoke to mo about 1t.
 Clrcumscribed by Others q can't imagine what has come over Harry" she said. "I1e has no life in him at all. He doesn't seem to be interested in anything much any more. Sometimes ! think he is not we'll"
 I asked a few questions, and gradually the picture was unfold. ed. I was pretty sure that Harry suffered from too much family.
 Later I asked her if there was anyone her son could visit for Q while. She didn't like to send him away when he wasn't eating mad was losing weight, she said. Also he cried @ good bit these days and seemed to want her.
 However, there was an aunt who asked to have Harry. His mother had not approved of him going because he mustn't learn to be selfish and expect to be chosen before the others who were too little yet to be visiting on their own. When they were old enough, all three could 90.
 Prescription for Listlessness
 DO you know," I commented, T believe you are wrong about that? I'd try Harry on Q visit by himself. and see what 1t does for him. In your family life, the younger children have needed your time and attention. They get nose of the notice, as babies will, and although I wouldn't call 1t jealousy, at the same time Har- f ry may have Q feeling that he is not 50 very important any more.
 "Try him where he doesn't feel any 'pull-back'; where he can be free to be himself and not al- ways one of 0 bunch. Later I would let the others have the same chance once in a while. All children must feel the same as grown-ups, that 1t is good to get away to be ones own self sorne- place in the world"
 So the boy went to his aunt. He ate and slept and was Q dif- ferent child altogether. A month did 50 much for his peace of soul, 1t helped his health. And 50, ale though I do think that families are good for each other, I must confess that individually they need vacations as well, when 1t is pos- sible to have 1t 50. If not for a month, perhaps for Q day now and then. A trip to town, for instance, can include one child at time.

 The perfect summer coiffure is one that retains it's shape, wave and cIlrls while under a bathing cap, doesn't look frowsy ten ntn- utes after the wind starts to blow tl1roug hit and, between shampoos, can be arranged without the help of the man who designed 1t.
 Unless your hair is curly or looks well straight, better have a new permanent before you start Tor ranch, seashore or farr1. Then fir1o an excellent hairdresser, tell him your requirements and let him work out a coiffure which he considers practical as well as flattering. Try 1t for a week. If 1t rnusses too easily or if you find that you simply can't coax 1t back into place your self, try something else.
 Summer cultures with curls and no waves are new right now. One especially good hairstyle, designed by an important New York expert, is perfect for short locks. The hair Is brushed upward from the napc of the neck, backware from the face, then all. ends and curled in soft, rather loose ringlets.
 It is not smart to wear tight rinelets that shriek to the world the fact that you have just step- ped out of a beauty shop. If you are going to spend your good money to have your hair beautified once a week, do stay under the dryer until waves and curls are dry, then insist upon having them brushed out before you leave. Nothing is more unattractive than rirglets and waves that are brittle and stin look ing. Strive for soft, natural effects And don't let a hairdressers dis miss you until your hair is thor ougllly dry and has been not only combed but brushed through and through, then put in place.

 One of the essential factors in- volved in nursing @ baby is to see that he is neither overfed nor un- derfed. of the two, however, un- derfeeding is the more difficult to correct.
 One method is to stimulate the breasts by means of pump. An- other is to improve the mothers physical condition. In that event, also, it may be advisable for the mother to be relieved of her child's care except for feeding.
 The child may be given some sup- elementary food. Nursing, how ever, should be attempted regu- larly so as to give the breasts the stimulation that comes from the sucking of the baby.
 A baby that is getting too much mil kwill vomit, or regurgitate some of the food. Sometimes he will have collie.
 Usually, however, the over-abund- ance of milk lessens after the first few days. If the milk remains in overabundant amounts, the milk that the baby takes may be re- duced by shortening the time of nursing, The excess supply may be suitably disposed of.
 In a few cases, the baby may seem to be overfed due to the fact that there is too much fat in the milk. Tn this case, the doctor may direct the addition of water to the diet before nursing.
 There are, however, few cases in which breast milk is unsuitable for digestion. If mother has been eating garlic, the milk may have a bad taste. It is also possible that a bad taste may come to the milk from drug substances.
 There are various ways of find ing out how much milk a baby is getting. He may be weighed before and after feeding. This should be done at each nursing, until the mother knows how much milk the baby is getting regularly from the breasts.
 If the mother is unable to weigh the baby regularly, she may tell something from the way in which the child nurses. If baby is very hungry, he will nurse hungrily and with considerable pulling power" |" If there is plenty milk, the baby will seldom nurse more than five or six minutes.

NIGHT BLINDNESS AND THE
 NEW HEALTH CONCEPT

By now, hope, thousands of read- CTS are trying to find that word l want to buy, a word which will ex- press the essential idea of the new concept of health: Higher average level of positive health throughout the life cycle, extension of prime of life in both directions, better than average nutritional condition as manifested in lower death rates, material improvement in the life expectation of adults, better growth and development, more pep, vital. ity, joy of living, highest degree of natural immunity, adequate reserve power to tide over strains and emer- gencies, more of the resiliency oi the savage or the wild animal. Hack neyed terms such as health-plus and buoyant health barred.
 Night blindness (properly called myctalopia but often incorrectly called hemeralopia which is really day blindness or difficulty in seeing clearly in bright light) is a peculiar dimness of vision which certain per- sons have when they step into q dimly lighted room from bright sun- light or when the day becomes very cloudy and dark, or after dusk.
