But no husband of more than six

Otherwise, he throws up his hands

that sounds like "Uh huh" which

Set Routine
Best for
Babies
However, Schedule
May Be Adjusted
To Suit Needs
Bv Leftice Lee Street,

The mother of 6-week-old baby
has written to ask for any sugges-
tions as to how she may break her
infant of the 2 am. feeding. She
says that so far he only sleeps until
about 8 in the morning and then
cries, and she gives him 2 ounces
of milk instead of the ounces he
would ordinarily have.
Some little babies find it harder
to adjust themselves to going with
out the 2 am. feeding tnan others,
but almost every infant frets about
the change at first.
The mother of an infant as young
as weeks old has not regained
her full strength and she needs rest,
particularly if she is nursing her
baby.
There is no one more adamant
than I In my belief that regular
routine builds sound baby. But
schedules must be tempered with
common sense and kindness and
with a realization that the mother
must be considered, too Until the
young infant becomes used to his
new life and the routine, it is a
wise mother who does not allow
her nerves and her baby's to be
frayed while he howls with hunger
as she watches the minute hand of
the clock.
| Sometimes baby will sleep
through the night if his last feed
ing is advanced to 1890 or II o'clock.
That is, of course, if he is on the
four-hour schedule that calls for
the last bottle at 10 o'clock
Occasionally baby will wake up
because his formula is not strong
enough. But remember, the only
person who should tell you to in
crease it's strength is your doctor.
If young baby wakes up at night
he should be changed and given a
little tepid, boiled water. If he
does not quiet down he should be
fed.
Doctors do not all agree on the
wisdom of the 2 am. feeding and
there are hospitals where water is
given at this hour instead of milk.
For a very small, feeble infant this
feeding is necessary until he is
about 3 months old.
This problem, as with so many
others that mothers have to meet,
requires patience and understanding
to solve. 1t is just a question of
training the baby in his routine.
He will learn quickly if you do not
rock him and pick him up when
he cries. Make very sure by con-
sulting your doctor that he is get
ting the proper amount of food and
water during the day.
We have prepared a helpful
chart of average foods suitable
for young children, which we
will mail to you upon request.

Don't look now, but there's a
slight letting-dow of the conven-
tional bars insofar as hats for
evening wear are concerned. Lest
we break the spell and be forced to
revert to the restricted type of
thing once more, we'll merely whis-
per that it's now considered o. K.
to wear the coconut or other soft,
dark straw with white or colored
evening jackets. That is, of course,
if the hat is trimmed with a wide
white silk puggree band.
OF course, if you're a man who
doesn't like changes, it's perfectly
proper to stick to the fine sennit
sailor with plain or club-stripe band
or the panama with narrow black
band. They're always correct.
And speaking of bands, why don't
you buy some spares" so that you
can change your hatband with your
costume? Many of the new types
have adjustable hooks, so that the
band can be changed as easily as a
necktie Fools the public, too.

The lines of this frock are youth
full in spirit and the sizes are IL to

new dress. You will find the turn
back rever collar becoming and the
v neckline cool and flattering. The
shaped waistband which emphasizes
the slimmest portion of the figure
gives the youthful feeling, further
emphasized by the skirt with front
fullness let in by two clusters of un-
pressed pleats. Trim this pretty

ton petals fashion them, with wide
brims of fattering tulle. A Mary
Queen-of-Scots bonnet might have
the heart-shaped brim outlined with
tiny sweetheart roses.
Garlands, rather than bouquets of
white blossoms, are another new
note in bridal flowers. Painted
daisies, cornflowers, blue iris or
bright pink carnations make en-
chanting garlands for the attend
ants.
The bride who wears her going
away frock for the ceremony may
prefer a corsage to hand bouquet.
Orchids, gardenias and sweetpeas in
modern scroll arrangement give a
luxurious note to an otherwise SIM
pie costume. Tailored corsages,
tied with bows of green leaves, are
still another innovation for the in
formal wedding. Since the brides
mother shares the limelight with the
wedding party, her flowers are i'm
portant. The flattery of deep blue
iris would be lovely with any soft
toned frock.
AS effective as heirloom lace is
the scalloped, hand-patterned lace
fabric used for the youthful bridal
dress pictured. Style-important fea-
lures in the gown pictured are the
f1attering round neck; the full pulled
sleeves; the quaint, fitted bodice
that buttons down the front, empha-
sizing snug waistline; and the full
skirt. The dress has a long train,
and because it is SO beautifully pat
termed, the veil is short one, edged
with band of the same lace as
that in the skirt The brides bou-
quet is of roses and white snap
dragons.
Delicate pink sweetheart roses,
worn as corsage, are matched by
wee roses outlining the Mary
Queen-of-Scots bonnet worn by the
brides attendant. The pale pink of
the blossoms contrasts beautifully
with the deep periwinkle blue of
her chiffon frock.

PROSPECTIVE brides and BRIDE
grooms usually plan the floral
color schemes for the wedding party
together, since the groom is respon-
sible for the bouquets carried by
the bride and her attendants.
Fashions in fresh flower arrange
ments promise brides of summer
194l the utmost in beauty. White iris
combined with white gladioli in a
bridal bouquet tied with lace will be
a favorite for the early summer
wedding and orchids, lilies, roses,
stock and sweet peas in modern or
old-fashioned bouquets will be in de-
mand for bridal parties throughout
the summer.
Whether a wedding emulates one
of the periods of past history or
anticipates next years styles, there
are enchanting headdresses and
bouquets that any bride will de-
light in selecting. Corsages of lilies,
fragrant carnations and roses with
rose geranium leaves as back
ground are quaint looking. Carna-
tons, used in modern scroll arrange
ments, make a bouquet that even
the most budget-minded bride can
afford.
Huge arm bouquets of fragrant
stock and snapdragons are lovely
for both the bride and her attend
ants in garden wedding, and
these same flowers may be used to
fashion crown-like bonnets. Gladi-
oil blossoms are another favorite
flower choice for outdoor weddings.
These flowers in white would be
lovely for the bride, while deep
shades of tangerine and fuchsia or
the more delicate coral pink will
blend beautifully with summer pas
tells.
Flowers sure to bring obs and abs
of admiration are parasols of deli
cately colored sweetpeas. Carried
in garden wedding, tiny nosegays
of the same flowers should be re-
served for the bridesmaids. Bonnets
of blossoms are new, too. Carna-

LYNN SAYS:

Dads day might be the one
day when Dad would really like
to try his hand in the kitchen.
How about some feathery light
biscuits to go with dinner?
They're an easy trick if you just
put out the ingredients for Dad,
along with one of those big bowls
and a spoon. Now sift 2 cups of
flour, 2 teaspoons of baking pow
der, and " teaspoon of salt. Cut
in 4 tablespoons of shortening,
and then add about "a of cup of
milk gradually. Stir until soft
dough is formed, not too long,
though, or the biscuits will be
tough. Turn the dough on a
slightly Toured board, pat to a
R-inch thickness, and cut with a
Toured biscuit cutter. Pop them
into hot oven (450 degrees) on
an ungreased baking sheet for 10
Is minutes. Dad will probably
like the large biscuits, so better
give him the large cutter, The
recipe will make about IL bis
cults of that size, or 16 of the
smaller ones. Can't you just see
him beaming over a plate of hot,
faky biscuits he made all by
himself?

The National Geographic Society
says the women of America wear
more wells than the women of
Turkey. Easy to believe if you notice
the clouds of veiling-pink, white,
red, green, black and brown-which
will continue to soften the fashion
scene, right through summer.
The newest use for wells is to tie
them about the crowns on big
brimmed hats and let them drip
down the back.
Big brims are really big this sea-
son, up to nine inches. Usually soft,
not stiff, in outline-made of rippled
black organza, champagne-colored
