Our Wartime Bride
This Year She Wears Formal Wedding Gown of White
Chiffon Marquisette With Waist.Length Veil

At least one Washington bridal
shop boasts that it can put together
q formal wedding in. couple of
hours-providing the bride isn't too
fussy about the style of her own
gown or the colors of her attend

in charge points out anybody who

As you may have gathered from
vital statistics, marriages are BOOM
ing. In fact. they are taking place
so rapidly that the brides shops
are hard put to keep a satisfactory
selection of wedding gowns on hand
However, they're doing really good
job, with a variety of bridal dresses
in q great many styles and fabrics.

They make no promises. as a rule,

One Of the most interesting de-

wartime so many girls still want
a white or ivory dress with a veil

Young Child
At Home
By DR.. Martha VI. Eliot,

Associate Chief. ChildrenS Bureau,
U. S. Department of Labor
Associated Press Features
Statisticians predict that 5000
American children under l year OF
age may be fatally injured in 1913
that wartime strain, haphazard liv-
ing conditions. and carelessness of
overburdened mothers will increase
the usual number of fatal accidents.
l hope every mother will resolve
to give them the lie. Many do not
seem to l<7lize the toll of infant life
taken by avoidable accidents. Fig
ures for normal times reveal that of
every 1000 babies born. one dies as a
result of an accident before his first
birthday.
If the accident rate remained
stationary. that would mean $500
infant deaths in one year But the
rate is taking a wartime rise. The
increase seems to be due to two main
causes. First, more children are
being left alone while the mother
does her errands. If fire breaks out.
the infant may be fatally burned
The tot who has begun to creep OF
walk may get hold of matches and
set fire to his clothing.
The second factor in wartime
fatalities is related to the fuel short
age. Mothers anxious to keep their
babies warm are apt to cover them
with more or heavier blankets than
usual. Sometimes they neglect to
see that the child cannot be
suffocated
A baby is inclined to put every
thing in his mouth. So don't give
him a rattle or toy with some small
part that may come off.
Take every precaution against
accidental fires. Keep the toddle1
away from heaters and flames.
Hot liquids and poisons should
always be well out of babys reach

Baby Foods Which Can Replace

Therein lies the rub for the baby
Is rare who cannot safely eat fresh
foods properly prepared for him at
home. We are not speaking of milk,
because often young baby will take
more kindly to certain brands Of
canned milk than he will to fresh,
but are referring to foods such as
vegetables, fruits, beef broth and
beef juice.
For some unknown reason many
mothers moan that it is SO difficult
to make soups, and for the sake of
these want to offer three easy rec
ipes from the nursery cookbook.
BEEF JUICE.
Suitable for infants: Begin to give
beef juice when the baby is to 6
months old. Offer him only a tiny
bit at first and gradually increase
the amount until he is taking about
three tablespoonfuls by the time he
is months old. Give beef juice.
broth or egg yolk and vegetable
puree in addition to formula at 2
pm. feeding
Mince Il pound of round steak,
put into covered glass jar without
water and place jar in saucepan of
boiling water. Boil gently one hour,
then strain off juice. Season with a
little salt.
VEGETABLE BROTH.
Suitable for infants Offer to baby
when he is to months old Begin
with small amount and gradually
increase until baby is taking about
ounces by the time he is months
old.
One carrot, potato, Il cup string
beans, u cup spinach, and a pinch
of salt. Peel and cut potato and
carrot into small pieces. Cover
with cold water and boil for Is min
utes then add string beans, cut up
spinach. Continue to cook until all
vegetables are tender. Press vege-
tables through a strainer and re-
turn them to broth.
VEGETABLE BEEF BROTH.

off liquid, force vegetables through
the sieve and return them to broth
