868 visits to the stations. It seems a very satisfactory record.
 Stations Attractive
 Each station is fixed up very attractively with bright curtains at the windows and the atmosphere is one of friendlinesS and helpful un- derstanding. One or more nurses are always in attendance and a doc tor has charge of every station. The Junior League supplies nine volun- teers every week.
 The job of a Junior League VOL unteer is to act in the capacity of hostesses and to encourage the mothers to bring their children reg ularly to be weighed and checked up. Volunteers weigh the children and keep permanent record of each one for the Visiting Nurses Association and they also make out an attractive blue book for each mother so she may keep an accu- rate. account of her baby's gains or losses. The psychological effect of these blue books is remarkable. The mothers find an incentive to accept the helpful advice they receive from the nurses and doctors when they see the results tabulated on these charts.
 Work Means Happiness
 Because of the volunteer service which the Junior League affords, the Visiting Nurses Association is able to give more time to each mother and child which in turn

benefits the children who will soon become our future citizens here in Waterbury. The League feels very strongly they are being repaid and will continue to be repaid for their efforts when they see for them selves the mothers of these 1886 children who came to the Baby Welfare Stations last year becom- ing thoroughly educated and un- derstanding the basic principles of good health which in turn leads to happiness and a better citizen.

For the past 27 years in this fine city of ours have watched the growth of music especially in most homes and it is certainly gratifying to me that most of our younger generation are taking advantage of the many opportunities that are af- forded them.
 Every child has the right to mu- sical education and it is up to the parent to see that they have it. Some parents lack giving discipline to their children, that is they give in too much to the whims of a child in other words they are spoiled.
 Greatest Asset
 Our greatest asset is music and your child should have that educa- ton whether in a small or large way, might say that musical train ing helps them think faster.
 Another great factor in our chill dren's lives is in reading books about famous composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, Brahms and many other which our local I- brary would be only to glad to assist the parents in making selection that is suitable.
 In Waterbury I note that our To- cal schools from the kindergarten up do much to encourage the musi- cal education in children. We have excellent supervisors to help and give the pupils the fundamentals for future training in colleges.
 Over 8 course of many years in the music business I have had the opportunity of watching the younger generation grow up and can safely say that many of the leading mu- sicians in this country have re- ceived their early education in mu- sic from local teachers. The par ents need not fear that their chil- dren are not getting the finest mu- sical education procurable.

Youngsters Manifest
 Eagerness For Music
Parents Should Encourage Desire for Musical Instruc.
 tions Private Lessons of Great Assistance
What Instrument?

Parents have come to me and wondered what instrument would be suitable to start their children on, to which I have remarked that this is, very important as in later years if a child does not care for that particular instrument time and money have been wasted.
 Many plans are suggested to par. ents from outside sources that are somewhat confusing but I have strictly adhered to this solution: take your children to orchestra con. certs, song recitals, band concerts or any affairs pertaining to music and you will find in time that it will be a simple matter to decide what instrument they should plays Nine times out of ten the child will usually tell his choice.
 Don't be too harsh or persistent with your children and insist upon them taking lessons on something they don't care about.
 Fundamentals
 Most of us know that the piano is the instrument that will give any child the fundamentals of music that are lasting. However, if they wis., trumpet, drum or guitar give 1t to them and by all means see that they get private lessons, not class teaching. Years of train. ing are wasted in this way through carelessness on the part of the parent.
 You have probably passed up 6 musical education during your life but don't take it out on your chile dren. Give them the many advan. tages that music will give and their happiness will be yours and also bring joy to others.

 One of the most popular and certainly one of the most satisfac- tory activities of the Waterbury Junior Leagues volunteer service is the work with the Visiting Nurs- es Association in their Baby Well fare Work. There are at the pres ent time seven stations in differ ent parts of the city, insuring every one of a chance to attend one of these stations within compara- lively short distance.
 In the Eastern part of the city there is the Christ Chapel Station which is open every Monday. Tues day tEere are two: one at the Rose Hill Branch Library on Baldwin Street and the other in the Hope vile district at the South Feeder, ated Church. Two are also operated on Wednesday, one covering the North End of the city at the Y. M. c. A. and the other in Wateryille at the Sprague School. Thursday the Community Club House of Sac red Heart Church on Taylor street IS used and on Friday the station IS conducted in the Bronson Ii- brary Branch on Bank street.

FOR evening especially the new
coif1ures are good. With the
new evening gowns. 50 many OF them
made in styles of the Louis XIV era,
the idea is = sensible one. Witness,
for instance, that the ladies OF that
time all wore their wigs in a tower
ing arrangement, and it can't be de-
MED that they were most becoming
with hoop skirts. 1t stands to rea-
son, then, that the same general idea
would be good with gowns reminiscent
OF that day. However, our good old
Missouri background makes us won-
der If the arrangement Is quite q
practical one for the working girl
who makes her morning mad dash to
work. OF course, If she takes excel
lent care OF her coiffure and spends
q bit Of time in the morning combing
it just so, it should work out pretty
successfully, but If she allows her

may run into trouble Anyway, the
whole thing seems to depend on your
personal taste, and II you don't con-
form to the new modes we hardly
think you'll be a social outcast. How
ever, the following information has
been offered in case you feel that you
want to try the new styles:
/. II your neck line Is good, brush
your hair about 2inches up from the
nape Of your neck.
2. Sweep your hair up at the sides
and-if possible-also at the front
over your forehead.
8. Have soft, loose permanent
and see that your hair Is cut and
shaped to follow the natural contour
of your head. We understand that's
the only way your hair will stay up.
(. Don't try to brush up long bob.
II you decide to take the plunge you'll
have to have your hair cut to avoid
= bulky effect
5. Avoid piling your hair too high.
Just suggest height.
s. Give your new hair do an oppor-
tunity to make good. II you don't

patient There is 4 splendid chance
you will become more and more at
tached to the idea.
We're all for anything new, and
this certainly nils the bill, but we'd
like to offer another warning. Think
carefully before you change your Golf
fure-consult 4 reliable hairdresser
and your own mirror to determine
what the effect will be. Experiment
At home by sweeping your hair up
and pinning it-you can get the gen.
eral idea. And, last but not least, If
you have 4 bad neck line or insult
able features leave the idea alone.
There are certainly two sides to
the question. Which stand are you

q INCE this is not a private argu-
ment-anybody can get in it
~ 1t seems only natural for us
to add our little say, too. 1t
is q controversy that is shaking the
fashion world to its foundation-the
greatest thing since that woman dis
covered that fig leaves could be
whipped into something that resem-
bled garden dress. Behold, the
subject of coiffures, high or low.
Modern hair dresses have had their
ups and downs, flguratively, since time
began, but this season they are hav-
ing them literally. Hairdressers and
milliners plead beg and cajole for us
to pile our hair on top OF our head
in the new and approved manner
They stress the fact that Paris and
New York are advocating this change,
that the new hats are becoming only
to those women who have made the
step, and that the new hair styles are
definitely fattering and smart.
On the other side, and with bayo-
nets fixed and flags flying, are those
stanch advocates Of "let we'll enough
alone" They are the ones who argue
that the new styles are hard to wear,
that Hollywood, with very few ex-
ceptions, has chung to the longer bob
and that hats definitely do look better
with hair that curs softly on the
neck.
Who is right? What is to be said
for both sides?
Naturally, as Is the case in any
controversy, there are two sides to
the question. Both sides are right
and both are wrong. In a conversa-
ton with one of the leading hair
dressers several days ago We asked
him what he thought OF the new
styles. He told us bluntly that they
were excellent If you could wear them,
but he added that If they were not
becoming it was unwise to attempt
any such metamorphosis. His advice
Is pretty sound. After all. you don't
buy pink and purple dress just be-
cause every one else has one II that
combination Is not becoming to you.
Why, then, should you adopt = hair
style that is definitely not nattering?
