Paris (UP)-Now is the time when Parisian mamas, like American ones, turn their thoughts to the problem of spring wardrobes for the young. The "ieune file" section of the de- partment stores are alive with scores of children, from the toddler and pinafore stage to young ladies ot l2 and 13, who are beginning to be seriously interested in what IS styl- ish.
 For these, and for mothers, who want their children to look smart. but not like miniature adults, the solution is the dress and coat ensemble. Both dress and coat nave higher waistlines and shorter skirts than mothers, but show the same family traits of full, pleated skirts, full-backed coats, machine stitch ing, ingenious buttons and orna- ments, and variety Of color combinations.
 Little girls will fall in love with an ensemble in two shades Of yellow the dress of brocaded tablecloth linen in goldenrod shade, the coat of soft wool in lemon yellow. The short bodice of both dress and coat are double breasted, but the dress alone has four black-and-wh1te pups, sitting on their launches, to act as buttons. Pocket flaps and round collar of dress and coat are trimmed with machine stitching.
 Practical for wear right now and also in the fall is a dress in a hairy wool plaid weave of bright red, yell

Love is in the soft spring air. Isn't it time for an announcement party?
 Invite your friends to surprise luncheon or supper. Plan your menu with loving care and at the right moment broadcast the glad tidings. You might announce your engagement by the use of special place cards at the table with the two names inscribed in interlocking hearts.
 Very sentimental, of course, but then why not?
 Or you might make the an- nouncement by the publication" of a miniature society page in news paper, or else by attaching cards bearing the names of the bride and-groom- -to-be to narrow pastel satin ribbon streamers from a brides corsage bouquet.
 However, don't forget that you have invited your guests not only to hear about your coming we'd ding, but also to enjoy a luncheon or supper. Here is a suggestion for the menu for the occasion
 Cream of mushroom soup, toast sticks, baked stuffed lobster. Ida ho potato chips, jellied fresh veg etable ring, pecan mullins, finger rolls, angel food la mode with fresh crushed strawberries, or dou- ble heart cake decorated with icing flowers in natural color.
 If you prefer a chicken dish to the baked stuffed lobster, serve jel- lied chicken salad with assorted tea sandwiches made of light and dark bread.

that the heartburn might be the cause of the indigestion? Or that tobacco might be the cause of both symptoms? Best relief I know is five or ten grains of calcium car bonate (prepared chalk)-this will netralize excessive acidity for few hours, and is less objectionable than other alkalis such as soda or mag nesia to take frequently.
 Hay Fever
 Please repeat your recommends tions for one who is subject to hay fever. My attack usually begins about the 2Oth of May? (G. O.
 Answer - Send stamped envelope bearing your address, and ask for monograph on hay fever.
 MOles
 Please give me a method of banishing tiny brown moles on the skin. (M. A. O.
 Answer-A physician who treats skin troubles can obliterate them with carbon dioxide freezing, or with electro o-desiccation. There is no treatment that you can safely use yourself. You may find helpful sug- gestions in booklet Save Your Skin," for copy of which send 25 cent coin and your address. It tells about cosmetics and most skin blemiShes and diseases.

 twill I marry? Travel? Inheri, money? Will my wish come true?" The answers are simple as A B O if you read cards. Follow few hints and hold the crowd spell bound.
 Notice, first, the color of the for tune cards. Easy to remember that gay red ones-Hearts and Dia- monds-promise happy things: gifts, proposals, money, new friends. While black cards - Clubs and Spades-may warn of quarrels and disappointments. Sometimes they predict travel.
 Look for face cards next. They are the important people in the fortune-seeker's life. Kings and jacks are men; queens, women. Red face cards represent blondes; black ones, brunettes.
 Memorize the meanings of just a few special cards to start: 10 of Hearts, marriage; of Spades, trip; 6 of Diamonds, gift of money or jewelry; of Hearts, wish comes true; 2 of Clubs, disappointment.

NEW AFTERNOON MODE
 IS SIMPLICITY PLUS
BY ROsETTE HARGROvE


 NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Paris.-The smartest afternoon ensembles combine the chic simplic- ity of daytime frocks with the glam- our and feminine allure of evening clothes. This is the year of years to splurge a bit on the outfit you buy for teas, important luncheons, informal dinners.
 Whether you are looking for dress with a long coat which can do double duty, or hesitating be- tween another suit-silk this time or dress and jacket two piece, this is merely a matter for your pocket book and your summer wardrobe requirements. All are featured and all are smart.
 SKIRTS ARE SHORT
 AND VERY NARROW
 In any case, whether dress is topped by a long, three-quarters or wristlength coat, the same gen: eral rules apply; skirts are short, shorter than last season and mar row., but not too exaggerated. Full ness, when featured, is massed in front, apronwise, while some skirts are pleated, allround or in front only. Bodices offer the necessary contrast with their molding drap- cries and high neckline-at the base of the throat-and the waistline is always stressed in some way or other, sometimes to hourglass di- mansions.
 The leading houses all report that the majority of their smart clients have ordered at least one navy blue outfit for afternoon wear, which would tend to show that it is run- ming a close second to black, if not superseding it for dress-up occa- sions.
 At Molyneux, the ensemble with diagonal diamond check in navy blue on white silk crepe for the dress, with entirely pleated skirt and plain, high bodice, topped with long coat in navy, is one of the most successful numbers with pri- vate clients. The coat is straight and fastens with the new metal clips. It has three-quarter sleeves and four pockets.
 RED, WHITE AND BLUE FOR BLOUSE COLORS
 Polka dots are running stripes very close race in the afternoon picture. Many suits at Mainboch- er's are completed by the long, tunic blouse in dotted foulard or surah combined with dark skirt and jacket. Red and white or porcelain blue and white with navy or black are smart. Mainbocher also shows an entire suit in dotted foulard navy

DON'T GET NERVOUS
 ABOUT IT

The poor deluded victim of the "neurasthenia" obsession may de- rive considerable benefit from regu- lar practice of belly breathing, es- pecially for insomnia or inability to get to sleep at night. But anoXia, mild asphyXia or under -oxygenation of the body tissues or cells certainly does not explain all nervousness or alleged nervous exhaustion" or neurasthenia. For instance, a good many jerSons in the incipient state of pulmonary tuberculosis drift along in blissful ignorance of their true condition, on the delusive the ory that they are just tired out from hard study, overWork or nervous ex- haustion. Likewise many persons with eXophthalmic goitre drift along for months or years under the im precision that they are just nervous" or "neurasthenic." Obviously these semi-invalids should not take any kind of exercise unless by specific direction of their physicians, not even the belly breathing exercise.
 Then too, most patients in the invident stage of cardiovascular de- generation art e riosclerosis, slow heart muscle gailure, the all too common breakdown of middle age seem inclined to attribute their condition to nervous exhaustion, overwork, business worries, high ten sion and the like.
 In short ost of these Class A neurotcs have nothing particularly the matter with their nerves or nervous system, except the obsesion of nerves" which prevents them from obtaining proper medical ex- amintion and advice.
 On the other hand a great many people who are definitely hyper sensitive, irritable, excitable, too tense, unable to relax and remain calm and cool under slight provo cation, lacking in inhibition or con- trol or steadiness, neither consider themselves nervous" nor accept the designation if it is applied to them. It is my belief - just a notion I have derived from study of the Subject-that the fundamental nat ture of the trouble in most of these cases is nutritional deficiency, chiefly deficiency in the daily intake of calcium and phosphorus. This does not mean merely the quantity of calcium and phosphorus taken in the form of food or medicine, but rather the amount of calcium and phosphorus actually absorbed or aS- simulated and utilized in the body.
 It is a common error to think of calcium Qime) at constitute of bones and teeth. The bones and teeth contain relatively more call cium and phosphorus than other tissues do, but calcium and phos- phorus are quite as essential con- stituents of brain, nerves, muscles and the various organs, and indeed thees soft tissues more promptly show the effects of insufficient call cium and phosphorus than do the boAes and teeth.

Keep a Tab On Child's

RAISING A FAMILY-NO. 65 BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The child of four finds that con1- pany is more and more necessary to him.
 I have told before how it hap pens that the younger child plays among" other children, but never really mixes with them as person on his own account. But now he craves playmates for a new reason. He" has become one of the boys. She, one of the girls. Our young hopeful begins to see what it is all about. This little group is often sel- fish, sometimes mean, but at least good company.
 The child is like knight all girded for the fray, and if there is no one to pit his wits against, mo- thing to defend, no one to take sides with, none to laugh with" or be kind to, the forces in him go glin- mering and he has to de pend too much on himself. He may become fretful, or dull, or learn to rely too much on older people to amuse him. Amusement is not play.
 Yet sometimes a child of three or four, the mother finds, is a better child when playing alone. She dreads his daily excursions out- doors, because there are the usual scraps, the little abscondingS, the walls and complaints. We cannot hand-pick the crowd, but even if we could, there would still be trou- ble. If possible would let him mix a little, unless the situation is ut- terly hopeless. In that case l should never force him to do what we our- selves would not do.
 Know What Goes On
 The secret of getting the best from outside contacts is for you, mother, to be alert to what is going on. You won't know what to change or correct unless you do so. You won't even dknoW what the crowd is like, or whether your own child is behaving as he should.
 In summer, when children are outside all day, it is a good plan to take turns with other mothers, in keeping an eye on the crowd.
 In case you make this arrange ment with your neighbors, it should be agreed that the days supervisor may report delinquencies when nec- essary. She should, of course, be very fair The idea is to encourage happiness and kindness in the little crowd, not to look for flaws too closely.
 But poor behavior should be noted and reported. The correcting should be done by the child's own mother. Never under any circumstance, attempt to punish any other child than your own. Next: Imagination.

in it's lining, or in its lapels and cuffs the fabric of the blouse, form ing in this way the perfect ensemble idea. Delicate lingerie blouses, with lace insertions and pintucks, are another natural complement to this type of afternoon suit. And chiffon in white or contrasting pastel shade also fashions some very smart and ultra feminine blouses offset ting the severity of the suit itself.

low, green and blue, topped by a

low, green and blue, topped py coat of hunters green with a silk thread woven into the wool so as to produce pattern Of small squares. The dress skirt is bias cut; the collar and short sleeves trim med with the coat material, while coat sleeves and collar are trimmed with the dress plaid. The same treat ment holds true for the buttons on both dress and coat. The coat is trimmed by it's own scanning, and there is a panel in the center back which opens out into two roomy pleats.
 Scanning does wonders for little coat in pastel blue-green shade. The coat actually buttons on the side, but a scanned panel from neck to hem draws interest to the center front A white pique bib, sewed on to the panel, looks like a vestee, and altogether the coat gives the appearance of redingote with matching dress.
 And that old favorite, silk pongee, comes into its own again, in a heavy weave that makes up beautifully into sturdy, washable, and withal very smart dress and coat ensembles. Some of these use machine stitching on collar, cuffs and belt, for their only trimming; others combine pongee with light weight wool plaids-one of these combinations that make you wonder why it's never been tried before.
