probably the largest concentration
Of different kinds of birds in a

green heron, greater yellow legs,
pectoral sandpiper and a belted

Today's
Women
BY DOROTHY ROE


For so years Edna Woolman
Chase has been molding the fash
ion tastes of women all over the
world as employee, editor in chief
and finally chairman of the edito-
rial board of Vogue magazine.
Her memoirs, always In

the little dressmaker to the present
mass production which makes Pa
ris fashions available to every
woman in the country within weeks
of their unwilling.
And for go years this gentle, soft
spoken lady of Quaker upbringing
has been worrying about quite an
other matter. She spoke about it
at a small and intimate luncheon
celebrating the publication of her
book, as she chatted with q few
friends and well-wishers. Said the
aristocratic and ladylike Mrs.
Chase:
81 think American women look
wonderful practically all of the
time. But why can't somebody do
something about the menu.
at does seem to me they could
look more attractive" she muir
INJURED wistfully. 81 have observed
and reported mems fashions as

years, and ! give you my word of
honor, I could take a mans suit
of 1890 from some musty closet,
and it would not vary more than
a half-inch from the things they
are wearing today.

trousers, the same shirt and collar,
and always that tie that has to 20

women experiment with colors
and fabrics and necklines-

wear ascots for a change, or knot
their ties on the side-or do some

Americans to know him better"
Through devotion to Gandhi, she
still wears only homespun gar
mentS, continuing to follow his
edict against machine-made goods.
A handsome woman, with curls of
gray hairpeeking out from be-
meath her sari, she makes the
rough cotton cloths look like regal
silks.
Rajkumari, although her cabinet
post is health, has been a key per-
Sonality in the controversy involv-
ing American missionaries in
India. A Christian herself, she re-
portedly has been a moderating in
fluence on other cabinet members
seeking to curtail activities of mis-
sionarieS. Hindu extremist organi-
cations recently have been accus-
ing them of spying for the United
States. Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru has said missionaries con-
stitute political, rather than a
religious, problem.
The dynamic Indian health min
lister will lunch with Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt after her arrival in
New York.
She will be in Washington as the
guest of Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby,
secretary of health, education and
welfare. Rajkumari hopes to visit
many of Washington's federal
agencies and to meet with Ameri-
can officials.

health Assn. meeting, which she is
scheduled to address.

A chic New York model noted
for her svelte and elegant looks
solved the clean purse problem by
keeping all of her beauty aids tied
up in a large handkerchief in her
handbag. Every couple of days she
would flatten out a clean handker-
chief on her bureau top and put
her beauty props in it. This gave
her a good opportunity, too, to
check her compact and fill it with
new powder, replace the old tired
puff with a new cotton puff, shar-
pen her eyebrow pencil to a new
point, check the color Of her lip

Your Child Today
By DOROTHY V. WHIPPLE. ]

BY DOROTHY v. WHIPPLE, MD,
Your baby has just been born,
Congratulations!
You have just had your first
glimpse of him. What is he like?
What makes him tick? If you are
Like lot of brand new mothers you
may be a little bewildered. For
months you have been hoping and
planning for this little fellow and
now he's here and you're not at
all sure just what he is like.
All these last nine months he has
been getting ready for this bic
moment when he'd be born. Don't
think for minute he's just started
to live now that you can see him
for the first time. He started nine
months ago and he's been hard at
work getting his heart and lungs,
his digestive apparatus, his kid.
neys, his iver-in fact all his vital
organs in shape 10 carry on his
life without the constant help and
protection of your body.
Let's take q look at what he can
do when he is born and what he
can't do.
He is able to breathe, TO take In
his own air and circulate it through
his lungs. You did this for him be-
fore, now he's doing i himself.
He's able to eat now and digest his
own food and eliminate his own
waste. You did all that for him too.
Altogether he's quite a bit more
independent Of you after he's born.
All the years Of his babyhood and
childhood he's going to keep on do
ing more and more things for him
self and slowly and little by little
viii grow completely independent
of you.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1954-10-25

But right now he needs you close
by HIM so he can carry on.
Even more than physical care.
ne needs you to love him, to era
ole him, to rock him. For nine
long months he has been warmed
and gently rocked. He likes it, and
ned like 1t to continue, and the
chances are you like to do ii.
A newborn baby is more CON-
Portable with a blanket wrapped
snugly about him. It's more like
the tight place he's come from. 1t
takes him time to get accustomed
TO lots Of free space about him.
One of the important things a
baby learns 10 do soon after birth
IS to cry. He never had to cry be-
fore because you took care of
everything for him even before he
knew he needed it. But now he has
to caH you. And he'll do 1t the min
ute he's uncomfortable.
Go TO him, do what he needs
done. Feed him, If he's hungry,
give him water Il he's thirsty,
change him If he's wet, turn him
over, csiddle him, rock him . bit.
As soon as he's comfortable a.
gain he'll. relax and Like TO be put
down IN his crib. He has long hours
Of sleeping to do, IT'S hard work to
grow so fast and he gets tired and
needs rest and sleep.
When he calls you with his cry,
so 30 him, but don't poster him.
II he's just wiggling about and
making baby noises, let him alone.
It's only when be breaks out in big
lusty yells that he needs you 10
come do something.-AP Newsfea-
