Cool Cotton
Lingerie
BY EveIyn Hayes.

Just about now-if the thermom-
eter doesn't take another nosedive-
you'll want to discard your winter
Underpinnings and change to sum-
mer variety. It's not only comfort
but conservation that will make you
want to revise the inside story of
your wardrobe. The good rayon
crepes and satins that coat you with
glamour most the year will rot from
the perspiration induced by Wash
ington's tropical summer--not to
mention the fact that once you get
warm, they make you warmer.
If you're well-armed with a laun-
dress, then you'll want to indulge
in the cool cotton slips. They're
pretty as can be and give you a
bandbox feeling in the face of the
most willing heat. You can buy
them with cotton lace, with ruffles,
with embroidery, with lots of femi-
nine touches, but we particularly
love the gored slips of balloon cloth
trimmed with eyelet cotton. And,
lest you don't know, balloon cloth
is fine quality batiste originally in
tended for barrage balloons. A
limited quantity has been released
for civilian use and so you may have
seen it recently in children's dress
es, blouses and underwear. In pink,
for example, balloon cloth slip is
as pretty and cool-looking as a
strawberry soda. There are also
nice tailored numbers in soft nain-
sock.
On the other hand, if nightly
jousts with the soapflakes are your
lot, by all means consider rayon jer-
sey. for summer. It's cool to the
skin, fits slickly,' washes like a
dream-and doesn't need ironing !!
In fact, those who know tell us that
rayon jersey underwear looks, feels
and probably wears better if you
don't iron. That shouldn't make
you mad. All you have to do Is
rinse them out, hang over the show
er rod at night and presto they're
all smooth. If you're lucky enough
to4 have summer dresses that afN
onsalle, rayon jersey petticoats win
dosthe trick.
Cool underwear is juat:as impory
|t4Ak By night as BY dry and thS
|AiIn1lnal crop of i13fAtgoWnS "a
pretty senough to make you .WAlit
to wear gown even though the
thermometer is flirting with ninety
five in the shade. Sheers ate al
ways lovely and cool-and one of
the prettieSt is a rosebud-printed
white, affair with long ruffed sleeves
and double-ruffied the-shoulder
necklne. When it gets too hot for
long sleeves, wear 1t as negligee.
This would be a nice trousseaux
treasure, You'll also find adorable
little, girl handmade nainsooks
with tucked yokes, Peter Pan coll
lar and baby puff sleeves that will
remind you of the days when
Mother used to brush your hair and
have to remind you to brush your
teeth. Balloon cloth also comes in
bon bon colors-blue, pink, yellow,
or white-to make gowns SO pretty
they'd make any girl look good
enough to eat. One we especially
noted has minute cap sleeves made
of eyelet cotton and a Sweetly
fulled bodice that looks as though
lit would do fine things for a
girls figure. Another has straps
of lace-edged eyelet cotton and
tiny pouch pocket cuffed with eye
let.

NO PROBLEM CHILD!
Thanks TO Mrs. N. J. H.,


The questions about baby manage
ment have been especially interest
ing ones and I've enjoyed the an
swers and found them helpful with
my 15-month- son.
want to say in reply to the re-
quest of Mrs. r. B. that there might
be several factors contributing to
her baby's behavior. First, wonder
If sitting in a high chair for any
length of time isn't tiring and un-
comfortable for a baby this age.
Second, the baby's behavior in the
high chair and play pen suggests
to me that lately Mrs. r. B. has ex-
pected her baby to adapt to changes
for which she may not be quite
ready, and that this may mean the
baby is getting less cuddling and
similar mothering attention from
Mrs. r. B. than she did when she
was held more 1t seems to me the
solution is one of trying to meet
the baby's needs for attention ade-
uuately, rather than using methods
Of restraining or discipining her.
(THdnks to A, B. L., College Park
In answer to Mrs. r. B. regard
ing her 8-month-old daughter. She
is not a problem child, but per-
fectly normal youngster who is be-
ginning to show independence and
curiosity Since she stands In her
high chair, l would cease putting
her in it except at meal times and
Immediately feed her. Give her a
spoon and let her bang away or
try to feed herself. tTo give her
something to think about besides
how much fun it is to stand up
and get Mother all excitedo II
that didn't work, I would feed her
sitting on my lap for "a few days
and them try the high chair again.
In regard to her screaming in
her play pen, why not let her out
of it? You will take her out OF 1t
sooner or later, anyway. 1t will
mean a little more work for you for
few months, but you will be de-
lighted watching her explore and
learn to do new things. And best
of all. she'll be happy child. You
will have to put away all break
ables, books, etc. Forget about the
play pen for a few months and
use it as a gate to keep her out of
some forbidden place, if need be.
You will find that from months
on, your daughter will go through
all sorts of periods of doing this
and not doing that. If you try to
analyze each one and understand
"why," your child will cease to be
q problem to you. And most i'm
portant, while you are under
standing her." don't lose your sense
of humor or your common sense.

WASHING ORIENTAL, RTJGS9
Dorothy Dix
Says

Dear Dorothy Dix: I was a widow
with two children. Three years ago
l married wonderful man and he
has been splendid father to my
children who are now IA and Ia
years OF age. But there is one SUBJ
ject upon which my 1ausband aud
I disagree and have some argu-
ments. He says that the children
are dumb and lazy because they do
not make top grades at school, They
are just average children, and
have always felt if they made good
passing grades it was satisfactory.
But my husband says should al
ways make them believe that I am
disappointed in them and be after
them all the time to do better.
What. Is your viewpoint?
MRS. H. r.
Answer: Not all children are Quiz
Kids, thank heaven, nor are all
children students and bookworms.
There is just as great variety in
brains as there is in eyes or noses.
There are plenty of children who
are endowed with good, hard, prac-
tlcal common sense who never like
to study, who never take prize
at school, and who no amount of
badgering will ever turn into high
brows.
The old idea that you could stim-
ulate a child's ambition by dis
ceuraging 1t is outmoded now. We
have found out that praise, not
blame, is the spur in his side that
goads him on to doing the best he
can. Tell a child that he is lazy
or dumb and that you are ashamed
of him and he accepts your verdict
on him and just gives up. But tell
him that you are proud of him; brag
OF how he works, or how good he
is at figures or whatever it is that
he excels in, and he will break his
neck living up to his reputation. But
use good judgment, and combine
little blame with praise If it seems
best in your children's case.

with the diaper. The less restraint
the better for these little active
ones. Then resolve not to feed her
any place but in her high chair
and only when she is sitting down.
When she stands up, hold out a
spoonful of food and tell her calmly
she may have it when she sits down
Stick to your word, show no excite
ment and it will work in a short
time. My little fellow, who used to
stand on the tray and look as
though he were going to Jump, now
eats alone in most gentlemanly
manner without ever standing up.

important, in fact, you gotta make
appointments now to even say hello
to him.
I'VE were prowling around the
M-G-M lot looking for choice para
graphs when our guide suggested
dropping in to say hello to Sinatra
in the studio rehearsal hall. The
Voice was wearing a sailors uni
form and was learning a dance rou-
tine for q new flicker.
Sonatra spotted us but said moth
ing. Finally we tried to defrost the
atmosphere by grinning, do you
sing too?"
THE Voice reacted like someone
had tripped him. "A little" he
groWled-and we mean groWled-

perspiring, walked over to frankie

n The Voice growled again, You
should have made an appointment.
I'm busy. In fact, I'm leaving right
now And out he went.
We've been around Hollywood
for a long time, but we've never had
to make appointments to say hello
to the towns really big people. We
had heard reports that The Voice
was turning into the Big Head but
we hesitated to believe them. Stories
that he'd walked of fthe set at
RKO pouting over trifleS, that he
was refusing to give autographs.
Mae West will be playing Shirley
Temple roles before we make an ap-
pointment to say hello to Frank
Sinatra.
FLEAS STAGE-STRUCK
Things were much more pleasant
on the Sunday Dinner for a
Soldier" set at 20th Century-Fox
Except fol- those sand fleas. Anne
Baxter, director Lloyd Bacon, Char
ley Winninger and everyone else on
the set said they liked realism in
their celluloid but that the fleas
were carrying things too far. Or
were they just kidding us?
The studio had built a Florida
lagoon on a sound stage and floated
houseboat on it for the picture.
The water wasn't salty but the sand
was real
And the fleas came with it," said
director Bacon. tScratch, scratch)
They're everywhere" said Anne
Baxter. Honest !" (Scratch,

hour, moving to new locations every
five minutes SO We could report that
we were bitten by sand flea on a

happened.
