2. To make up for the loss Of

4. To supply certain protective

There is general agreement that
wholesome, clean, safe milk is the
one most important element in a
child's diet.
The chief sources of heat pro-
ducing foods will be the starchy
foods and the fats. Cereals from
the most acceptable foods to sup
ply energy and some of the es-
sential minerals. Fats containing
vitamin A may be given in the
form OF butter and cream.
Fruits are a desirable food to
have in the dietary.
A wide variety of vegetables
may be given according to the age
of the child. A liberal amount of
green lesfy vegetables and the
colored vegetables such as carrots,
beets. sweet potatoes should be in
cluded.
The protein foods will be sup
piled by milk, eggs, lean meats
fish and cheese. Liver is a valu-
able food especially If the child is
anemic.

There's a new "gentlewoman"
look about this soft Anne Adams
style. Pattern 1882 is the sort of
froek that makes a good first i'm
preston at luncheons, teas, in
formal parties. Choose a soft,
flower-sprinkled fabric-and keep
the Sewing Instructor on hand for
advice. Those double front panels
that extend right from the point
ed yokes to the hem give you
double the perfect fit, the slim
ming line. the flattering skirt
flare. Do add a soft, lace-edged
bow at the V neckline. Wouldn't
contrast be striking for the trim
pointed sleevebands, the yokes and
the panels? Or why not make the
bow in light contrast to the rest
Of the frock for dramatic effect?

Gail did not prolong the con-

her desk she was thinking grimly.

For 10 days Anna remained in

But don't know what to do about

s others alike). Could I get small
paper plates and paper napkins so
as to provide a sufficient supply
for everyone ?"
You need not worry about plates
and napkins to be stacked in lay
ers. which are characteristic OF
the small tea table in the living
room at which you yourself sit
and pour. At a large tea, when
the dining-room table is set
quite differently from the small
everyday table, plates and nap
kins are seldom arranged in lay
cred stacks and there are never
more than a dozen or so napkins
for as many as hundred guests.
At your tea, therefore, three
stacks of s plates each and four
small groups of napkins, one of 8
and three of 6, will be ample II
you choose typical cakes and
sandwiches. Both these are small
and dry and easily held in the
hand, or laid on the edge of the
saucer of the teacup, and few peo-
pie find either napkin or plate
necessary. At everyday tea, all
sorts of hot breads or buttered
mullins with jam or marmalade
or cream-oozing cakes are utterly
delectable but most difficult to
eat-unless almost as many i'm
PIGMENTS are supplied as would

Thin girls need softness. They
just can't go starkly sophisticated
without losing all their appeal. At
the right, we suggest this type 60
antic, in floating drapery
which is controlled so as to con-
ceal, rather than reveal, lack of
contours. Points to note here are:
shoulder drapery, collar necklace,
big bracelets, moulded waistline,
bodice fullness tackled in place,
belling skirt and loosely curled
long bob.

She could not make any

greeted him unresponsively. They

C.I. 0. Labor Seeks Place
On Board of Education

The c. I. o. yesterday complained
to the justices of District Court about
the lack of c. I. o. labor repre-
sentation on the Board of Educa-
ton.
In letter from Sidney Katz, sec
etary-treasurer of the Maryland
and District Industrial Union Coun-
Gil, it was stated that since 1906
none of the appointments to the
board has been a-representative Of
labor.
The letter follows shortly after
the death of Gratz E. Dunkum
banker member of the board, leav-
ing a vacancy which must be filled
by the justices.
Since 1906, Mr.. Katz said, oc-
cupational distribution of board
members has been II lawyers, IA
businessmen and women, 9 home
keepers, public official, 4 doctors,
4 clergymen, writer's, 3 educators
and l scientist.
He said the C. I. O. had called
this to the attention of the court
last year and since then had noted
no change in the policy of the JUS
tices. He urged the court to con-
slider his request in the appoint
ment to the vacancy.
