For son it means a chance to dress “like a man,” and he probably knows just what sort of e suit he wants, but do yon? The ordinary size of & boy's first fong-trouser suit' is from 16 to 20 ~ears, though these sizes won't hold irue for all boys. Your son at 16 may require a 20 &ize suit.

Fancy patterns and designs become very tire- some, even in young men’s clothes. Most etores call their boy's flrst Jong-trouser suits either by that name or “student’s suit.” They are made especially for the vouthful figure, and wre preferable to suits of the same size in the men’s department, which are #pt to be too old in pattern and de- ign for son to wear. Students’ suits are cut on youthful tin and usually fit in at the waist- line. They are made with extra long #leeves, which can be altered, of course, to fit the wearer, because aut that age a hoy will probably have rather large limbs for his body size. The trousers, too, are unfinished at the cuff, and can be trimmed to meas- ure, It's best to have the trousers cut with a bit of extra length, because it won't be long until he grows that half inch or so.

All sorts of rhinestone ornaments will be in good style for Spring, and colored paste to repre- sent rubfes, emeralds and other pre- clous stones. Sometimes a light- weight felt is lined with gold or silver tissue—with the felt cut out to show an interesting metal design.

HOPPING The jacket, or coat, of the sult mayv be either single or double breasted. 1r the suit is intended for ordinary wear, such as for school and play, a single- breasted model is more suitable. Dou- ble-breasted models are very accept- able for dress. The coat may be either belted or plain, depending upon its style. Norfolk jackets are belted, ani many sports models have belted backs. The argument in favor of the belted back is that it allows more freedom and room to swing about in. It’s advisable, when you arrive at the point of deciding what model to buy, to use your own judgment, and induce the boy to use his. If the sutt must answer one purpose, your task but very often the suit must , and you The materials used in these suits are about the same as those in boys’ earlier suits. Chevlots, tweeds, home spuns and mixtures will be found in the heavy suits, or those to give hard wear In cold weather. Serges, worsteds and other fine woolens are made up in the dressier suits, It every mother of boys fust turning into manhood would inform herself about the problems of choosing a voung man’s clothes, it would be much easier, after arriving at the store, to decide on something that will suit the boy, fit the clothing allowance and still be in harmony with her own good taste. .

Food Speciallst. sake, “For goodness stand up straight!” How often do tired moth- ers, because of anxiety for their health, speaking in a querulous tone, dine this advice into the *hildren’s ea *It is good ad- vice, but ono sometimes wonders whether the sume anxious mothers know just how good ft That it “is good for children to stand up straight” is about as far as some of them go when thinking about the matter. Most of them probably have vague ldeas about “round shoulders” and consequent unattractiveness. As for the children themselves, they are apt to wax impatient unless the habit of standing properly is made to seem attractive. Next time we try to interest ons, whether child or adult, in proper pos- ture, it will be helpful if we have first taken pains to inform ourselves as to what standing up straight will help us to accomplish. Perhaps there are some who have not realized that this matter of posture directly affects both digestion and assimila tion. This means that the home die- titian will find it worth while to study posture systematically. Anything that contributes to good digestion in- creases the power of food to nourish the body. ‘Without attempting to do more than simply indicate the good that may re- sult from systematic study of pos- ture, one can touch on the old rule lh:;Ll_flcludes s0 much—*“Ralse the When the chest is held up pract- cally all the organs of the body seek thelr natural places. The lungs are free and ready to make the most of good air while they strive to get rid f impurities in contaminated air. The heart can work at its complicated task with far greater ease. The stomach, if it has shown a tendency to drop, climbs up to where it be- longs, and, in short, the entire bodily machine feels the benefit of this simple measure, Returning to the stomach, it does not require any vast amount of tech- nical knowledge to realize that when .| this hard working organ is not com- pressed and allowed to sag its diges- tive juices will be far more effective and its muscular movements increas ingly strong. Not that the adoption of this simple rule in regard to posture will be all that is required. It is merely set forth by way of an entering wedge in the popular interest. The entire subject is scientifically important and as such should be studied under the guidance of some one who under- stands both physiology and physiolog- ical chemistry. It 1s only by way of such an intelligent understanding of the importance of posture as related to nutrition that the home dietitian can do justice to her tgsk of ade- quately feeding and completely nour- ishing the members of her family. Finally, it is not alone as a health- promoting measure that attention to posture will give good results! It may also serve as a corrective agent for those who are suffering from dilated stomach or from a deficiency of the gastric juice. It will not work mysterious healing, but it will help to right certain physical conditions in such an effective fashion as to cause the chemical processes involved in digesticn to function more vigorously. As we all know, active muscular work on the part of the digestive organs, plus correct chemical processes, can scarcely fail to improve, if they do not actually cure digestive weak- nesses. Improved nutrition is falrly certain to be the final outcome. So let us find out all we can about what is implied in the words “stand- ing up straight.” Lessons in English BY W. L.

EAR MISS DIX: My husband goes out to the movies three and four times a week. I have two small children, and when I ask him to mind them so that I can go to see a picture he refuses and says that a woman's place is In the home with her children. Do you think he hilsnggh(t; o Answer: I certainly do not. I think he is monumentally selfish and unfair. The children are just as much his as they are yours, and it is just as much his duty to take care of them now and then and give you a rest and a change as it is your duty to look after them most of the time. A right-thinking man should not only feel that it is his duty to mind the| children sometimes, but that it is also a privilege, because it gives him an| opportunity to get acquainted with them, and all intimacy between parents| and children has to begin in the cradle. You can’t win the confidence of| half-grown girls and boys. It has to begin in the pillow-fight days. i s The great trouble in this country is that our children have too much ma and not enough pa. Give your husband a chance to rectify this by sneaking out of the back door yourself and going to the movies, leaving ‘the bables on his hands. He won’t desert them. And he will really like it when he gets acquainted with them. DOROTHY DIX. (Conyright, 1026.) When unprotected, sugar attracts flies and insects.
