For, Mrs. A. R. c.. Arlington: In
general l strongly recommend that
every mother follow the advice of
her pediatrician without reference
to the program of other babies.
In relatively minor matters, how
ever, experience sometimes solves
problems better. than theory. 1 am
just catching UP on my sleep fol-
lowing a similar experience. Even
though our baby is older than Mrs.
C.s she protested the elimination of
the 10 pm. bottle. l was finally
driven, to telling the pediatrician
that I would follow his instructions
to the letter-if he would come spend
the nights with us!
Actually babies outgrow the habits
of night bottles as they outgrow the
need. This baby had not attained
the weight her brother had achieved
at a much younger age. Similarly
she was slow to give up the 2 am.
bottle. When I reverted to the policy
of that earlier chedule-continuin
1t until she slept through without
calling for it, my troubles were over.
True, had to give her the one extra
feeding but that's a triviality in
baby care. All emotional upset was
avoided, baby and parents were
happy and in month or so after
the arbitrary date previously set the
baby slept comfortably through the
night.
I recommend to Mrs. C. that she
give the baby a bottle of milk when
she cries for it, and assure her the
baby won't continue to demand it

NEW YORK.-At the brink of a
new season it's always fun to gaze
at the horizon and see what will
ride in on the waves of fashion.
In the midst of covering the new
collections as the guest of the New
York Dress Institute, we feel right
in the mood to set our sights to see
what's in store.
A whole fiotilla of fashions is on
its way-all looking as though a
gentle breeze were behind them Civ
lng freer, more fluid look to the
new clothes. Here we see skirts
that are fiared or fulled in some way
to camoufiage contours that are
somewhat less than divine. Full

dirndl gathers, which appear every
where, making the narrow lines
Wearable for more of you. Again
there may be a gentle flow to the
back OF the skirt, as noted in Bruno's
collection, or the fullness may be
camoufiaged in the form of a tunic
skirt such as Mary Lees checked

too, stemming often from gathers
at the waistline. Rentner's Jackets
with their tiny ck-dipping pep
lums epitomize this gracious, easy
look.

thing, many showing the Chinese

hole treatments. Many armholes

jackets or capes are definitely q
fashion on the way In.
A wave Of stiff fabric fashions is
rolling in-failles, bengalines and
paper taffeta that are used for crisp
little suits and dresses-or just as
sharp accent for a waistline, collar
or hem of crepe dress. The new
prints will often be in black and
white-sometimes in actual script
and there will be fewer of the riot
ously colored variety. You can ex-
pect to see in solid colors shades as
soft and dreamy as a mirage at sea
such as Brunos moonstone shades
and Rentner's 80 sweet" orchidee-
colors like these supplanting (praise
bed the blinking bright shades Of
last season.
Our scouting eyes spot emphasis
amidship-rather on the midriff, g.
fashion given impetus by the Span
ish cummerbund, the Chinese sash
and the CZechoslovakian challis
scarf-girdle. Adele Simpson, for ex-
ample, presents two-piece dress
teaming slim black skirt with cap
shouldered tunic of embroidered
eyelet cotton, the tunic sashed unex-
pectedly in black satin, spiked
with a rose. This NUMBER incident
ally, is our idea of a smart heat
defer Washington women would like.
Color contrast also achieves midriff
emphasis, the newest angle being
where the contrast is furnished by
the color of the skin as in Adele
Simpsons daring barring numbers
for spring. Shown even for daytime,
these are the sensation of her collec-
tion-and would be the same in
yours. The evening version in gilt
bordered bright crepe has an Orien-
tai look by virtue of its Nautch
dancer bodice with wide fiaring wing
shoulders, high round neck and wide,
circular skirt with skin between. For
daytime, there's an exquisitely SIM
! pie black crepe dress with cap
sleeved bodice knotted over the
| bosom, slim Skirt-and You in be-
| tween. Actually this dress makes
good sense for hot day but 3.
Well, If you like the dress willy-nilly,
! you'll be glad to know that the bare
midriffs come with an extra piece Of
material-just in case your courage
| should desert you.
You'll see glimmer (rather than
glitter soft as horizon lights in
seouins dotting the squares of cute
gingham evening dress-in an ex-
quisite beaded birdie perched on the
sleeve of one of Rentner's SUPER
shirt waist dresses, this one in a
bright lovely Mountain Pink-and
again in the delicate transparent
sequins that shine softly on simple
dinner dress of gardenia white with
large pouch pockets. These soft
lights have replaced the glare of last
years fireworks-thank the fashion
gods!-and have gone out to sea to

thought successful instead of being
pitied.
From the fact that wives are near
ly always the petitioners in divorce
suits. it would seem that the world
is filled with husbands who are
brutes and wives who are angels, but
such is not the case. There are Just
as many mean, selfish, no-account,
oiSagreeable wives as there are hus-
bands. There are just as many disil-
lusioned and unhappy husbands as
there are wives. But there are more
men who are sports about marriage
than there are women. More men
stick to the bargain they have made
than women.
And SO it goes through life. Even
God didn't make a world that salts
fles women and left them nothing
to complain about.
All Of which would be very sad if
we didn't stop to remember that
women get kick out of complaining
and that there is nothing they enjoy
so much as telling their troubles.
