Is Baby Fretful?

When his majesty the baby grows
fretful in hot weather, try the water
treatment, inside and out. OF course.
first make sure that he isn't i'll. But
If his health is good drink Of water,
sponge bath, or both, may be all he
needs to restore his disposition to its
normally winsome state.
Always boil the babys drinking
water, then let it grow cool. but not
too cold. Be sure the bottles and
nipples have been washed in hot soap
suds, sterilized, and scalded Just as
carefully as when his milk is served
An extra sponge bath or two in
torrid weather may be welcome ad-
dition to baby's regular daily bath.
The sticky combination of perspira-
tion and soil Is just as uncomfortable
to babies as to grown-ups and a
sponge bath before bedtime will often
enable him to sleep soundly all
through a sweltering night.
Going over his face and body, first
with warm soapy water then with clear
warm water. Pat him thoroughly dry
with a soft fresh towel, sprinkle him
with talcum, then dress him in a clean
diaper and slip, and he is ready for
his playpen or crib.
Handling the baby as little as pos
sible Is always good rule to follow
In warm weather that rule should be
more strictly enforced than ever by
his adoring family as well as by rela-
tives and friends.

Why must we 60 through life miser-
ably tugging down a waistline that
binds us through the lower midrifI
leaving the skirt to swing from the
diaphragm rather than from the hips
or normal waiStline? Not only Is 1T
beastly uncomfortable. but it looks like
the very Old Scratch. and, even il
camouf1aged by wide belt, still re-
mains hidden problem.
In talking, the other day, to group
of the best-dressed women in Wash
lngton-all Of whom have plenty of
money to spend on their clothes
the complaint seemed to be universal
If they wanted properly fitting dress,
they had to go to the most expensive
and exclusive New York shops, where
models were made with long enough
waists. especially for them. The con-
venience of being able to pick up"
loW-priced little sports and street
frocks, to be used "as is" during the
hot weather, was simply out OF the
question to them. They had the cash
to procure what they wanted. so they
continued to go to their exclusive
shops and have their special orders
filled.
X
\ LII very fine for them-but what
of those Of US who can only buy
the inexpensive, readymade frocks?
We are left to suffer the miseries of
the short waistline, with no hope OF
any relief And it seems SO unneces-
sary-for only an inch or so more OF
material would be needed to make all
the difference in the fit and appear
ance OF our clothes. The short wasted

means they may be perfectly cleaned,
and, best of all-the workmen come
soon after breakfast and complete the
job in one day. The cost is about half
that of tile and it looks well for many
years.
If you have fine old poster bed
that has been relegated to the attic
because 1t is so uncomfortable, rest
assured that it is still usable, as all
the companies who manufacture bed
springs now make them adjustable
so they can be used with Stats, or over
the side rail. A beautiful old bed
fitted with modern box spring and
inner-spring mattress is a Joy to be-
hold and to sleep in. The little old
Washstands that were in every bed
room so years ago may be given a new
top, to cover the hole where the wash
bowl rested, and serve as bedside table
or small desk.
Many an old bureau becomes a
thing OF beauty by removing the frame
in which the mirror rests and hanging
the mirror fiat on the wall above the
chest. Sometimes if the chest is high,
1t would better serve as drawer space
with books and flowers on the top and
a good print or painting hung above it
then the mirror may be used over a
mantel or over draped dressing table.
Be careful about discarding your
handicapped Victorian furniture. 1t
has taken its share Of decision in the
last 80 years and is just about ready
to stage comeback Some of it is
very fine and I am willing to predict
that in five years we will be paying
more for it than We now do for
Pennsylvania pine and New England
maple.
These last four weeks we have talked
about houses in general. how We may
get the utmost in Joy from our own
and what they should mean to us.
Now we will talk about particular ones,
beginning with the finest examples In
this country and their furnishings. and
how they may be adapted to Washing
ton living. The china and glass, the
old silver and needlework are a true
history OF the ones that struggled
before our time and inspire us to
realize that it is only the finest and the
best OF each era that survives.

Child at

When He Says Good

given bear hug. long kiss, then
the performance is repeated. Again
it is repeated and daddy, almost
smothered, says: Now that's all. Go
to bed now"
That sounds final, so the child
allows mother to carry him off. Shs
escorts him to the bath room, tucks
himsin bed, hears his prayers, kisses
him good night, turns out the light
and starts downstairs. She gets half
way down when she hears, "MuMmie,
dear. l want TO kiss you good night"
THE darling thing" says mother
softly, turns back, lights the room
again, gets bears hug and a long
kiss and then another and then an
other until she protests. That's
enough now, dear. 1t is getting late.
Lie down and go to sleep" Again
the light is turned off, the door
closed and the stairs descended, this
time to the foot.
"Mummie, dear. I want drink"
But l gave you a drink"
II know, but I'm firstly"
Poor lamb. Firstly. Well, Ill Just

He gets drink; chokes and gulps;
sighs: hands back the glass and says
sweetly. Thank you, mummy dear"
Who could resist the angel child,
Mother submits to more hugs, more
long kisses. Once more she retreats,
this time saying, Now don't call
again, dear Go right to sleep"
Yes, mummy dear. I will"

You say good night once and for

GOOD night, daddy dear"
John, how can you be so grufs
with him, the darling. He's only

Exactly. So what will he be like
when he is four and half? After
this he gets one good night and no
more. I'm not going to have him

going to have spoiled kid, either.

enough to hold a reading lamp, and
a book or two. If the room is large
enough, place chaise Tongue or sofa
where there is good light, so that
you will have a spot to rest and read
in by day, At least one deep chair
and light slipper chair are useful.
If this is guest room a small desk
is always Joy. The dressing table
should be where it gets good light by
day. Above the dressing table suspend
a bright light in a shallow shade so
that you will have full downward
light on you as you DRESS Most lamps
placed on the top Of the table cast
light too low to assist in any way
other than to fasten your shoes.
Next to the comfort OF your bed
room should be a well-appointed bath.
A large bath room is perfection, but
it is much better to have two small
ones for the family. When that day
comes that each person has her own
room and bath even in simple houses,
hope I am here to enjoy 1t. There
are now square tubs in which you sit
sideways, sort of ION the bias" which
take up very little space, 50 that it Is
possible to have complete bath in a

bath might have tub with shower,
capacious basin with roomy table

are always necessary. A small dress
ing table, slipper chair and q weight
scale. with closets full Of towels and q
well-stocked medicine cabinet would
complete the room. Walls lined with
mirrors give beautiful effect, but
they may be marble or tile, glass, paper

individuals would not be inconven-
fenced, either-for it is an easy enough
matter to take up" long waist-but
well-nigh impossible to lengthen a
short one.
I think all women should band to-
gether to demand longer waistlines in
ready-made dresses. That is-normal-
ly long waEtlines. According to the
whim of fashion We will, in the years
to come, find our waists up under our
armpits, or around our knees-but
while the style books say normal
waistlines" let's see that they are nor
NAL. The lower ribs have never been
accepted as the true waist, anatom-
ically speaking.
A ND while we are in the business
of yelling for lower and better
waistlines-let's do something about
the pernicious habit OF snaps on
plackets of skirts. First of all, they
should be alternated with firm hooks
and eyes. Second, they should be
seWed on with some intelligence and
strength; third, they should be set
well in, so that the garment does not
stretch and strain all down the OPEN
ing, Zippers have done much to
eliminate placket trouble-but for
some fabrics, snaps, hooks and eyes
still seem to be best. So let us have
them properly attached, by all means.
Another feature that should be as
much fundamental part Of a ready
made dress as its hem is the shoulder
strap loop. Nothing is more mad
dening than a slipping shoulder strap
nothing is more ungraceful than
the plunging gesture to retrieve it.
And most OF US would certainly be
willing to pay an extra 10 cents for
a dress to do away with having to
buy and attach our own shoulder-strap
holders.
1t is time something really was
done about these feminine trials and
tribulations. And what the buying
public demands hard enough and long
enough it usually gets-if it sticks to
its guns. II We women seriously
campaign for longer waStlines, firm
fasteners and shoulder-strap loops
some day We will reap our reward
Until then we'll have to struggle along
with CONSTRUCTED ribs, gaping packets
and slipping straps. And it is such
dismal picture!

S
Of Gray
Add Age
ALL White Head of
Hair and Young Face
Another Story.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

SOMETIME ago we commented on
~ the unmerciful magnifying pow
ers Of the sun in revealing skin and
hair flaws. The other day this was
brought home very clearly. A man
was saying about woman he knew:
II never noticed those gray Streaks;
but then I guess the mellow lights Of
4 drawing room, theater or restaurant
are kinder than the glaring lights of
the sun. How aging few stray gray
streaks can be to a woman. They
make a man look distinguished, pros
perous-a woman look old. Men
don't have to do anything about
graying hair but women
are fools If they don't"
He was not being unkind, at least
he did not mean to be. He was
merely speaking the truth as he
sees it and it is true that
strands of gray can be definitely
aging, more so in fact than head
Of snow white hair.
One thing is certain, that an all
white head of hair usually sets off
young, clear complexion so that one
invariably comes to the conclusion.
"prematurely gray, but very youthful
in spite of it." Gray streaks on the
other hand dull the eyes. deaden the
skin, sharpen the features, give one
a general lack-luster look. 1t is that
resigned" look that says, Il can't
conceal the calendar any more" And
1t is wrong. 1t doesn't belong to
the modern scheme. 1t was in order
when grandma was girl, because
she hadn't the courage or the
scientific ways and means to remedy
matters.
Let me tell you true story as an
indication of the scientific marvels
Of our age About a week or 10
Gays ago we saw woman at the
beach-hair disarranged or rather
carelessly arranged chat Il can't
help it, resigned look) and
streaks Of gray giving face and hair

Several days later at an amateur
performance We saw her again . i.
only we did not know her, she was a
changed person. At the end of the
performance several people gathered
around her to tell her how per-
fectly she had played her part. l
was introduced, and by way of making
a little conversation other than You
were splendid" l said: You have a
mother, or is it your sister-looks so
much like you, but don't seem to
see her here"
She smiled. explaining that 1t
wasn't another member of her family,
but she herself. And when I hastened
to explain, But you look so different
SO much lovelier - and younger" I
realized I was making matters worse
Later, another friend who knew
her well explained, It's her hair.
She has a way of letting it go for
weeks and Weeks-and not until some
thing special is in the wind does
she do something about it. It's
pity. too, because when she has it
touched up and arranged becomingly
she looks some IS years younger. 1t
looks so natural, too, and she gets
such ompliments. It's beyond me

times overlook them and, many times,
put up with awkward conditions for
years. Some of us buy a "set" OF
furniture for the bed room, consisting
of a bed or two, dresser, chest of
drawers and few other odds and
ends thrown in for good measure by
the furniture company. This costs
several hundreds of dollars and we
are not all able to afford such an ex-
penditure.
But We call on a clever cousin to
find that she has used grandmother's
old bed and has dressed it up with
spread with a ruffed skirt She
bought an unpainted dresser, placed
it across the room between two win
dows and made skirt for it to match
the bedspread. An old desk. picked
up in a secondhand shop, was
painted and decorated to harmonic

and a deep, restful one with foot

the coat swings casually from the
shoulder and the dress may be made
with long or short sleeves. It's spe-
cially suited to sheer material like
chiffon, sheer crepe or fine voile. Sim
plicity is its keynote and the skirt Is
finished with full pleat at bottom of
front and back panels. The scalloped
