Tho girl who planes her thick anlng figure on her baby is being almost wickedly unfair Co Junior. Neither should he be blamed # his young mothers skin or hair Is less pretty than lt used to be,
 Who do you suppose knocks the pins out from under these allblsg Glemorous models. Dozens of New York's top~nOtchers are mothers. They dump glltterlng duds = size i2's--into hat boxes after phoso- graphic assignments are over, and hie home to their babies. Many teach their toddllng tykes the art of modelling, and 60 out on ape polrtments as mother-and-daugh- ter teams.

TIT ISN'T THE nEAT-aTs
 THE AngDFTw

Nearly as trite as "Tiot enough for youg" is the expression Tt isn't the heat, but the humidity" Trite but true. Tn the east a mid-summer temperature of % degrees is gener- ally oppressive and hard to endure. Tn the southwest it is difficult to believe the temperature is above % unless one reads the thermometer because of the aridity. Hot moist air is hard to endure for the simple reason that the cooling system of the body does not function so efh- ciently when the atmosphere is d. ready heavily laden with water vapor. The sweat remains as liquid on the skin or in the clothing. If the air is drier the sweat can evaporate more rapidly, and that keeps the body reasonably cool and comfortable.
 Incidentally the only important purpose or function of sweating is to cool the body. Sweat is practi- cally nothing but salt and water No toxic" or poisonous matter and no waste matter, or not enough to be significant in any circumstance, is excreted through the skin or in the sweat.
 Aridity or dryness makes the hot-test weather comparatively pleasant. day and night, in the Southwest, compared, that is, with the discomfort of extremely hot weather in the Northeast.
 Tn the great indoor Sahara, how. ever, most of the wear and tear on skin, mucous membranes and dis- positions is directly due to the ex- treme dryness of the air, no matter what method of heating may be used. Circulating hot water or steam radiators, hot air furnace or stove, while heating the house or apartment up to 70. more or less dries the air out to an extreme de- gree-makes 1t drier than the driest desert air. It doesn't mat ter whether the fuel employed is coal, wood, oil or gas.
 Occupants of the house or apart ment have the choice of providing water vaper to condition the heat. ed atmosphere or having it taken out of their skin. mucous mem- branes and disposition.
 The winter complaints of chap ped, cracked, rough, reddened skin. cilapped and cracked lips, irritable throat, nose throat and sinus trouble are some of the more fa- miliar effects of aridity.
 Tn the pamphlet Air Condition ing" (for copy send stamped self addressed envelope - but no clip ping, please) l tell how to provide water vapor constantly during the season of artificial heating-for one room or an entire house or other building.
 Keeping a pan or basin of water on stove or radiator or register is a gesture in the right direction, but in order to achieve even a fair degree of humidity you must eva porate at least a gallon of water daily in each small room.

Mother Warns Girl 20, She Will Not Accept Her Devoted Suitor as son-in-Law Because of Religious Difference; Is This J ined7

DEAR MARY HAwORTH: I am 9 years old. For several years, have been going with fine man whom I love very much. We have many interests in common, like and enjoy the same things, but because of his religion my mother refuses to accept him as a Son-in-law.
 During these years of our court ship my mother has been in our company most of the time, and in my opinion she has treated him ai- most as she would her own son. But religion is very sacred to her, md if I married out of my faith, she could never face her relatives, 70 she says. except in shame.
 Furthermore, she believes we could never be happy unless we were of the same faith. Unlike her, he is very broadminded and has even said he would embrace my faith, if necessary to appease my mother. am torn between my love for him and my sense of duty to her. whom I also love very dearly. Should I give him up completely or accept his marriage offer against my parents wishes2
