FEATURES. Skirt May Be Worn Like Knickers MARSHALL. BY MARY Il-‘ in the years gone by milk maids had gone a milking, shepherdesses had gone after their sheep, and maids had gone a-maying as maids do these things today, there would have been few poets to sing their praises or artists to record their charis on canvas, What if Little Bo Peep had worn tweed knickerbockers and a Khaki shirt? What if the country maids that Greuze painted had been Girl Scouts and had worn the uni- torm of that organization instead of the bouffant skirt. the tightly drawn girdle, the closely draped bedice and the fwered straw hat? “The other day @ group of boys, members of the s chool sradusting class, went on The picnic ground was the beach along a little-frequented Englund shore, and the picnickers two motor nd cushions 20 giris and ¢ small-town New Feached their destination vi trucks provided with straw There were pretty girls among them, of cours but they all wore Knicker- bockers and with one or two exceptions the girls were Doubtless the youth of today going picnicking with e&ensible tweed or Khuki knickers, but the costume is certainly less conducive to whispered flirt nd love making than the lght ~ummer frocks that girls of a genera- tion or %0 ugo Wwore un piciics.

In 1534 Europe first knew the flower when seeds were sent to Vienna from Tur- Jev: 1 sreased: and the tulip apidiy _ distributed throughout Europe. Some peculiar- ity of the soil and air of Holland scems unsually well suited to this flower, and for the last 200 vears the choicest and most brilliant varietics and specimens have been grown in lowland country. The tulip beds near Haarlem are one of the floral wondebs of the world, their showy eolors stretehing away for miles.

Fruit for the Baby. Every baby whose food is pasteur- ized or bofled should be given orange juice, or peach juice, or pineapple Juice, or tomato juice, from the sixth jor eighth week. Begin with a table- spoonful of the clear juice daily and gradually increase the quantity to about four tablespoonfuls daily. It is best given in between the first and second milk feedings. The orange should be fresh and sweet. Tomato juice may be that of fresh tomato or canned tomato, of course without vinegar or other condiment or season- ing. The value of fruit juice feeding is threefold. It scurvey—a condition likely {when a baby's diet ix pasteurized milk, condensed milk or any of the manufactured foods: it prevents con- stipation; and it improves the baby's digestion By the time a baby of age he should be ready to try his digestion on some fresh vegetables, too. But let the first trial be a very cautious one and only a wee spoonful of the pulp of the steamed or other- wise thoroughly cooked vegetable, and generally the pulp should first be run through a sicve. Any and every vegetable may be given, if it is pre- pared in this way. Once a day is often enough. This early addition of vegetable to the baby's diet not only prevents or overcomes constipation but probably develdps_a_ vigorous digestive ca- pacity which stands the baby in good stead in later childhood. Weak, unde- veloped digestive organs are too often the result of too prolonged restriction to_a liquid diet. Week by week the quantity of stewed or steamed vegetable pulp may be increased, provided the baby takes it without any trouble, and when he is ten months old about two tablespoonfuis may be given daily. At the age of one year a baby ought to be taking his vegetable about the same as grown-ups. But not so with respect to fruit. It is generally best to cook all the fruit a baby or older child takes, un- til the age of four years. Stewed peaches, stewed prunes, cooked dates. apricots, cooked figs, apples stewed or baked, baked banana or stewed pear may be given a baby over ten months of age. These fruits should be carefully freed of skins or any stringy material. Raw fruit should be withheld until the child is over three years of age, as a rule.

THE GUIDE POST By Henry and Tertius Van Dyke. Foolish Discontent. Murmur not among vourselves.— John vi:43. Smouldering digcontent is one of the most destructive fires that burn in the human breast. It eats deep into the vitals of life and consumes more energy than any of the quick blazing fires or passion. Its origin is usually rebellion against life. Now it is never going to be pos- sible for men to reconcile or explain away all of the apparent contradic- tions of life. Iivery great thing that men dodne has been the fruit of fuith. While the chronic kickers are grumbling and ocomplaining among themselves the doors are making the venture of faith and getting results. Especially is this true in our at- titude to Jesus Christ. We will never get anywhere worth going o as long as we debate back and forth on the basis of various texts or opinfons about Him, We must settle down to peaceful convictions in our own hearts and lay aside our bickerings Where do these endeavors close the infinite in the us?

I once knew a housewife who told me that if a washcloth were prop- erly treated day by day it need never Le put into the laundry at all. ‘This seemed scarcely cleanly to me, and 1 said o, but she insisted that she could use the same face cloth every day for a year and have it always spotlessly fresh, sweet-smelling and dainty—provided it did not wear out before the year was over. Having been in many a bathroom where 1 saw washcloths with clean bright borders but a large dark spot in the center, 1 asked ner what her method was. Simple. of course. It so0ap is used on the cloth, the whole secret i to wash out the dirty soap- suds in warm water. then (and here's the special trick) soap the cloth again and rub it a moment, then pop it under the warm running water and rinse it thoroughly.
