SCHOOL AND FROLIC- DRESS WITH BONNET
PATTERN 668

PATTERN 668
 The cutest dress that could ap- pear on the fashion scene is this of small Mary's-complete with its own hat! Sister Joan's frock is made with the aid of the same won- derful new Claire Tilden Pattern 668, and while it has the same fetching dirndl skirt and basque type bodice, it has collar instead of square neckline. Their mother wants them to "cut a dash" on the first day of school this Fall, and she knows that these dresses with their cute matching bonnets will help them do it. Sine knows too, that the button front closing is go- ing to make the youngsters actual ly enjoy dressing themselves. Com fly, good-fitting panties or bloemers come with the pattern. Adorable in washable printed cottons or lightweight wools for play time as well as school.
 Pattern 668 is cut in children's sizes 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. Size 6, view B, requires 3 yards 36 inch fabric; view A, 2 5-8 yards 36 inch fabric.

BORIC ACID CAN DO NO HARM
 Boric acid was formerly called boracic acid. We have to change things every so often, otherwise mere laynen might begin to think they know as much as we doctors do.
 Boric acid has only feeble germ killing (germieidaD value if any but it seems to reduce the virulence of pneumococci (gerns of pneu- monia, sore throat, coryza, quinsy etc.), streptococci (germs of acute septicemia, or blood poisoning) and staphylococci Common pus-produc- ing germs).
 Saturated solution of boric acic | (S. s. B. A. as it is called in hos pitals) means as much boric acie in the form of flakes, crystals ol fine powder as will dissolve in boil ed water when it is approximately body temperature. The water will dissolve about an ounce to the pint, but some of this will precipi- tate as the water cools and settle upon the bottom of the bottle. The saturated solution at approximately body temperature is most suitable for use as a mouth wash, gargle eye wash, nasal spray or irrigation ear drops or irrigation or for moist ening dressings. It is sometimes used as a bladder wash, douche ol enema, but only under specific in-

A woman can have all that in a husband = and still cast her eyes about for the missing ingredient - romance.
 The usual end of the perfect hus- band, bored-wife marriage is di- vorce, with the wife making quick second try at marriage. When it turns into a triangle murder - as is the case of Rudolph Sikora, Margaret Sikora and Edward Solomon - 1t gets on to the front pages, and focuses attention on a not uncom- mon situation.
 Rudolph Sikora was a perfect husband. Both his wife and mother in-law admitted that. But his wife wanted romance, and she met a man who read poetry to her. Her hus- band showed his love in more prac- tical ways than the feminine mind has ever learned to appreciate He gave her his pay check, did the heavy work around the house, and insisted

 It is true that teachers cannot possibly go calling or dining toe often and forty pupils are forty pupils. Think how it would tax her to accept all the friendly in- vitations from we'll meaning and negotiable parents. But she will cooperate as much as possible in your friendly advances, I am sure. Determines Child's
 Attitude to School
 Once the child knows that hel interest is mutual to the two people most concerned, she is more con- tented. And the reverse is true naturally. If there is warfare be- tween mother and teacher, she will never take the teachers side. More over, it may fix antipathy to school for all time to come, once a child gets the idea that teacher is an enemy to be defeated.
 Anyhow, it is better all around for parents and teachers to smile and shake hands. There has been too little mixing of home and school in the past. Better to make it g partnership instead of rival factions
 Any disagreement on policy should be talked over quietly and seriously without fireworks. They never helr a bit.

WE, THE WOMEN - Perfection Was the Only Fault of This Husband

that he get breakfast in the morning so that she could sleep late.
 Women are suckers for romance - and Mrs. Sikora found such signs of devotion far less stirring than the poetry reading of Edward Solomon whom the perfect husband" is charged with having murdered.
 If there is any lesson for husbands to be gained from the story and many similar stories that are told in divorce courts, instead of criminal courts - it is this:
 Don't try to be perfect husband A woman will only find you dull Don't assume all of her responsible ties. She'll only have time to won- der what is lacking in her life, Don't make a door-mat of yourself, giving in to her every notion. She'll lost all respect for you as a man Don't assume that a woman stops thinking of herself as being desir- able the minute she walks down the church aisle. She'll fool you.

kJ1lC is interested in Betty objectively rather than subjectively, which means in plain ABC that she doesn't regard her with mother love.
 All this is very good for Betty. She has to learn that the world won't wear its heart out over her, although it may be vitally interest," ed in her welfare. Perhaps not, perhaps yes. But every human be- ing needs to know that someone somewhere cares for her personally above his mere success, and that he is loved for being just Betty, no matter what she is or does.
 When a little child goes to school, her attitude to future scholastic ex- perience will be happier if she can tie her school life in some way to her home life. She doesn't want to live two lives so entirely apart. She can't be two people, not all at once she can't. It will be years before she will be able to divide herself in two, and not crave some relation be- tween her right and left hand, if she ever does. She can't black out home for school or rub out school for home. She yearns to see some connection between them.
 This is one reason why mothers and teachers should be friends and have some contact, even a brief one, | so Betty can see the representa- tives of her two lives touching hands.
 When school is fairly well started, and without interrupting a busy teachers schedule, it is wise for you, mother, to call on Miss White for a minute in Betty's pres

Its only trim ming is numerous small pockets crowded vertically from just below the narrow belt to the shoulder.

 Used as eye drops or eye bath if the solution is near body tenn perature, it is rather soothing to inflammation or irritation. Eye drops or an eyewash of saturated solution of boric acid should be made up fresh every few days. It has no definite remedial value in chronic eye troubles, but is harm- less and beneficial in acute infiam- nations of the eyes.
 Saturated solution of boric acid as spray for the nasal passages or as an irrigation or douche in various forms of rhinitis, hay fever, sinus troubles and so-called chronic catarrhs, should be used agreeably warm. Likewise the s s. B. A. should be comfortably warmed for use in the car. But it may be used without heating it up, as mouthwash or gargle, if de- sired.
 Many persons with chronic run- ming ear have obtained lasting re- lief by dropping in the ear every night and morning drop or two of a solution of level teaspoonful of boric acid in the ounce of grain alcohol-of course this should al- ways be comportably warmed, by standing the vial in warm water before using. It may be used for months if necessary.

could see that the neck was green too,
