If every girl baby were consulted
about what gift, above all others,
she wished her Fairy Godmother to
drop into her cradle. she would un-
doubtedly exclaim Give me beauty!
For she would think that If she
had beauty she could get all the
balance for herself.
And in this choice she would be
sustained by the age-old theory that
a woman's face is her fortune, and
that it is more important for her to
be a good-looker than to possess all
the other charms and virtues COM
bined. 1t is this fanatical belief in
the potency of feminine pulchritude
that causes women to endure the
tortures of the Inquisition in ac-
quiring synthetic beauty when they
failed to be endowed with the gen.
uine article, and that makes them
devote far more time and attention
to learning new hair-do than they
do to cultivating their brains. This
abnormal stress that women put on
their appearance is universally
attributed to their vanity. but, in
reality 1t is the result of their con-
viction that the ladder of success
for a woman is built out of rouge
pots and vanishing creams and
wrinkle eradicators.
OF course, men are largely re-
sponsible for women's belief that it
is only the living picture that gets
hung on the wall, for when they
hear of a new woman their first
and only question about her con-
Germs her looks. They never ask If
she is intelligent, if she is suave
and diplomatic, if she is an interest
ing and entertaining conversation
alist, or even if she is good dancer
or if she plays good game of golf
or bridge. All of which would nat
urally make a girl think that men
were beauty worshippers and none
but the glamorous could ever ex-
pect to be escorted to the altar.
Yet such Is far from being the.
case, as even a glance at the mar
ried women of our acquaintance
will show, not many of whom could
ever have taken a blue ribbon in a
bathing beauty contest even in
their palmiest days.
AS a matter of record, the girl
who is merely pretty has better
chance of making good marriage
than the raving beauty has, and
there are many good and sufficient
reasons for this. One is that the
average man is scared of a Miss
America. He knows he couldn't pro-
vide her with the fine clothes and
houses and cars and jewels that
would make the proper setting for
| her. So while he admires her, he
doesn't crave her for his own.
On her part, Miss America thinks

Your Infant

Sun Bath
Vitamin d Content
Of Rays Highly
Beneficial
By Leffice Lee Street,

A mother should take great care
in giving sun baths to young in
FAINT. They should be undertaken
only on a physicians advice. II
your doctor has told you that you
may start them, these directions may
be safely followed for any baby
over two months old
Take of all of the infants clothes
except his diaper. Raise his head
slightly so that his forehead will
shade his eyes, and do not let him
look at the sun. Let the sun shine
directly on him for two minutes in
front, then turn him over and ex-
pose him for two minutes in back
If the weather is very hot. lengthen
the time of the sun bath only
one minute a day, but If it is
only reasonably warm you may
lengthen the time by three minutes
each day. on both sides. until the
time of the sun bath is three-quar-
ters of an hour all together.
The ideal time for the baby's sun
bath is just before his bath in the
morning, and he can kick his legs
and take his exercise at the same
time. AS he becomes accustomed to
the rays of the sun you may expose
him twice daily the second time
after O'Clock. Keep your baby and
young children, and yourself, too,
for that matter, out of the midday
sun. as Ii is too hot, for safety.
If a child complains of headache
or dizziness after playing in the
sun he should be put to bed In a
cool room and cold congresses
placed on his brow. His temperature
should be taken, and If there is an
elevation. a doctor should be called.
We have prepared two useful
gifts for you: One Is a chart that
clearly shows the value of foods
suitable for the average young
child and the other describes a
series of well-tested exercises for
the entire body with hints on
how to gain your child's CO.
operation in performing them.
If you wish either or both of
these, send for our Classified
Food Tables and The Importance
of Correct Posture pamphlet, in
closing Scent stamp with your
request. Print your name and
address clearly, and address or

Dear Miss Nowell-I have pair
of candlesticks and a covered jar
made of pink glass which is deco
rated in gold. 1t is rather nice in
pattern and shape and belonged to a
great-aunt. Do you know anything
about it? How old is it and was 1t
made in this country? 1t is not
transparent. 1t looks like milk
glass except that it is pink. F. S.
Answer think, from your de-
scription, that this must be opaline
glass 1t was in pale pink, rich
cobalt blue, a lovely soft green
and white. There also were COM
binations of white with these colors
and 1t was often decorated in gold
Candlesticks sometimes had crystal
pendants, or colored pieces had
white drop pendants. Most Of it
was made in England and France
in the late 18th and early 10Th
centuries I do not think it was
made In this country and it is now
quite difficult to find.

Lavishly presented was the col
lection by Erik, the young Danish
designer with establishments in
London and Paris as well rs New
York. He has used two colors as the
theme of his offerings: Black and
Copley red, rich purplish red used
by the famous early American
painter, John Singleton Copley. In
silhouette, Erik has stressed elegant
simphcity with much attention to
line and manipulation of detail.

Lint Is Moth Bait

In the march against moths, lint
from wool or feathers is one of the
first lines of attack. These little
balls of lint that blow into dark
corners of closets, under moldings,
back of pictures on the walls and
cracks in the floors, offer an ideal
spot for moth millers to lay their

and details are eagerly watched by
fashionists throughout the country.
what" they ask themselves, taking
another gulp of whiting limeade,
will Erik and/or Reichman do
this season? What strangely named
colors will John -Frederics offer and
how will the Sally Victor trends
affect the entire headgear picture?"
Although the questions cannot
be fully answered yet, the collec-
tions have given a hint as to the
outcome. For example, Florence
Reichman has seized upon feni-
ninity as her keyword. Her new salon
has mauve pink walls, yards of
mauve ninon at the windows, mir
rors everywhere, rocco relief and
gay chintz. Her hats have the same
delightful charm. There are great
foppy berets and medieval wimples
that cover the hair and frame the,
face; she likes pompadour scoops
and lifted brims and covered backs
in hats. The swags at the windows
of the new salon may have inspired
the wimples on hats and given i'm
petus to the draping and manipula-
ton of furred models which Mrs.
Reichman does so frequently and
well. A new note is found in en-
broidered furs, highly favored by
this distinctive firm. They adore
color and predict that whole en-
sembles of ruby red, rust, dull and
brilliant green will make their ap-
pearance on the fashion scene-and
stay there.
Much the same feeling for color
Is evidenced at ohn-Frederics, who
have taken rich shades from the
memories of an era past Mr.. John
startled the press with shades called
Mean Yellow" and Nasty Red"
last season. This year he brings
forth, among others, "Grandmas
Green" (the possessive, not the con-
traction), "SaSSafras Pink" "Por-
there Green" Wedding Ring Gold"
"Beaucatcher Blue" and host of
others. However, Mr.. John empha-
sizes that there should be only one
high note of color in an entire en-
semble. Who will win now remains
to be seen.
