There really are no hard and fast rules this Spring about the sort of hats that we shall wear—whether brims shall be wide or narrow, or whether they shall be turned up at tho back or up at the front. The Gigolo, with its high-molded crown, is £l in good repute. Capelines will e worn more und more as warmer wweather comes. There are pokes and berettas. Interestingly enough in the ce of such diversity some one has ved the Spanish sailor, high and i t straight of crown, with a wide brim of practically the same width all the way ‘round. From Paris come ack taffeta hats with crowns just a trifle higher and brims just a rarrower—a hat that is strikingly sug- Eestlve of directoire fashions. BV ING WHIL) N\ BACK. BEAUTY CHATS Bad Complexions. Neglect isu't the only cause of a bad complexion, of plmples and black- heads and such disagreeable things. Anaemls, impoverished blood, or a general run-down condition will spoil the #kin almost as much as gorging rich foods and not keeping the face clean. “Almost” s putting it too strongly: 1 was thinking how dead in color and how ugly in texture the complexlon of a very anaemlc person becomes. And when pimples are add- <d the result is certainly disagreeable.

You must not tax your di- estion, which ie generally tempera- mental in anaemic people, g0 you must ivold heavy foods like pork and ples and such things. THE EVENING S Willie Willis BY ROBERT QUILLEN. Marthe Regnler of Paris Mas al clever little beret that comes well down over the eves in front and rises upward toward the back, where some small ostrich plumes are arranged in quite an amusing manner. Hats of the poke varlety are numerous. To be a poke at present a hat need only have a brim that is fairly wide at front or sides and that either turns up or fades off to nothing at the back. This tyne of hat is certainly the most comfortable of large hats. ‘The wide-brimmed sallor has a chic all {ts own and it sheds a pleasing shade all around the face, over the shoulders and on the back—but it is a difficult hat to wear with any sort of collar. With a coat collar of any sort the hat that is turned up in the back is much more comfortable. At DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX An SOS Call for a Modern Girl Who Isn’'t Afraid or Ashamed of Housework—Warning to Work- ing Girl Against Being Family Goat. D AR MISS DIX: Not long ago I had a very interesting tallc with two attractive young ladles, both college graduates, who had been brought up in good, but moderate circumstances. These young women were very much opposed to the idea of doing any housework when they married, and they | frankly regarded it as nothing short of slavery. As for the man who expected his wife to do any of it—well, in their opinfon she would be another girl gone wrong. Thelr {dea of matrimony included an establishment with malds and chauffeurs, and dancing, and song. ’ i Now I do not care to consider myself as the future oppressor of some luckiess girl, but why shouldn’t my wife-to-be go into matrimony as a career, just as I have gone in for bond selling, realizing from the start that it may be a hard job, but also thoroughly sold on the idea that it would be the most satisfying work for her? Aren’t modern girls ready to take the bitter with the sweet? Have they present many women are wearing felt sport hats, larger than felt hats of a season ago, and these are frequently turned up at the back—so that the wide brim will not interfere with per- fect comfort. On the other hand, some of the new cvening hats are of the toque variety that turn up directly in the front. | i My Neighbor Says: ‘When cleaning black combs, trayvs and backs of brushes, rub a little olive ofl into them after washing. “ook pork well.

As it {s Sunday, however, this is of minor importance, and the vibrations that will be sensed are all decidedly favorable for observances or recreations, and morw real enjoyment will be derived from the former and greater genuine pleasure from the lat- ter than s usually the case. A child born tomorrow will come into the world under very favorable auspices, both physical and moral. It will, although subject to some of the vicissitudes of {nfancy, grow up healthy and strong and attain normal manhood or womanhood. A boy's character will be encouraging. He will be loyal, sincere and truthful and possess a personality that will place him in the front rank, even though he may not be gifted with an exceptional degree of intelligence. A girl, although not necessarily clever, will possess & degree of charm that will be {rresistible. ller many suc- cesses will not Lurn her head, and she will always Le sincere, faithful and ambitious, especlully for those near and dear to her.

You endeavor, by your atti- tude, to create the impression that | you are churlish, selfish and callous. Your actions, however, speuk louder than words or gestures, and those who know you will realize your sterling worth. You possess a great fund of com- mon sense, although you lay no claim to abnormal knowledge.

You apparently have a canny ability to visualize the outcome of an operation, while others ure puzzling themseives as to the manner In which it should be_carried out.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Forcible Feeding. We shall have to presume that the child has been allowed to have his own way when being fed and the mother has allowed him to dictate what he|{ would and would not eat. This child becomes a progreselvely greater feeding problem as he grows older until finally he {s eating little or nothing of the foods that are good for him and all that are not. This type of mother is naturally the yielding kind who glves in to cries and refusals to_eat and does not press the matter. It has been found that a child suf- fers no harm from being forced to| eat the food toward which it shows a distaste; that cven the vomiting of food may mean nothing more than that the child has learned the trick of ejecting what it does no want, and that 1f 1t is forced to eat it the food will be retained and digested normally. Having made sure of this one point, the mother can go ahead with a clear consclence and putting before the child the necessary food items for a perfect dlet, she can force them until the child accepts them willingly. Egg is the onc notable exception to this rule. Eggs and, in rare cases, milk may actually polson a child. ‘The method advocated by most doc- tors is just what its name implies: forcible feeding. The child's hands are held and likewise his nose and he | is made to swallow a teaspoon of the ifood he refuses. I he spits it up, a fresh spoonful fs administered in’ the | same way, until seeing that eries and ' screams and vomiting get him no- | where, he consents to swallow the food and keep it down. | 'This should be done with each food, never forcing more than a teaspoonful | of any food at any time. Later when | the child is sure that rebellion is use-! less, he should be given the full] amounts necessary for nourishment. | Even the tiny baby will often spit out cereal or vegetable when it is first | offered. Then is the time to hold h!fl, | | nose and make him eat the food. ‘To most mothers this sounds very tcruel. Tt need not be. Everv mothet | knows that the spirit in which a com- { mand is uttered makes the difference !in the way it is heeded or disregurded. | She knows a certain tone will be obey- ed. It is the same with the forcible | feeding. She may be as gentle as she { pleases; but even the small infant will know when she means business and when it is quite apparent he cannot run over her, he will respond by obeying. The mother who refuses to use these methods to force a well child (not a sick(one, it is obvious) s letting senti. ment run away with her good sense and giving into the child when by so doing she jeopardizes his health and makes future discipline, in moral mat- ters, that much more difficult. There is direct relation between regular hours of feeding, the enforcement of proper foods and moral discipline. The mother who refuses to heed this relation is the one whose children are uncontrollable {n all matters from sleeping and eating on up to moral make him the sort of o home that his mother made his father. Probably these girls will, too, when Mr. Right comes along, for love works strange changes In a girl's ideals and causes her to reverss her opinions on many a subject. ‘We have all seen romantic maidens find their fairy prince {n the most commonplace and practical of business men. We have seen once ardent feminists develop into meek wives who began every sentence with ‘“John says.” We have even seen undomestic girls become the champlon blue- ribbon cooks of the neighborhood. But I agree with you that it 1s highly dlscouraging to a young man to find intelligent young women who frankly avow that they look upon matrimony simply as a graft and not as a partnership, and that they cxpect to devour all of the cakes and ale and leave to their husbands all of the srubbing to provide them with the luxuries they crave. There {s certainly no reason why any able-bodied young woman should not do her own housework if she marries a poor man and they need to save the price of a servant. She is probably just as strong and healthy and able to work as her husband {s, and it {s just as much up to her to do her part as it 1s up to him to do his. And if she finds housework dull and monotonous and hard and tiresome, &0 does 2 man find his work. 8o is any work by which we make our dally | bread, and that we do over and over again day after day, week after week, year after year, Moreover, we get out of our dally task just what we put into it, and whether it {s dull and monotonous or interesting and thrilling depends | altogether on our mental attitude toward it. If we are trying to do our work better and better all the time; if we are putting brains and intelligence into ft; if we have the pride of craftsmanship, we can turn the lowliest labor into the most exciting game on earth. And this is true whether we are painting plctures or designing a battleship or making bread. To me there is nothing more pathetic than the fact that so few women get uny joy out of the work that they spend their lives doing, and that they never see anything in homemaking but drudgery. i They never realize that making a home is the flnest work, the most important work, the work with the most far-reaching influence to which any woman can be called, and that the woman who turns out a good job, who makes a peaceful, comfortable home for her husband and children, {3 the bulwark of the nation and has performed a public service to her country. Tor it is the synthetic home, made with o can opener and 2 paper bag by a woman on her way from a bridge party to a Jazz dance, that is largely responsible for the wandering husbands and hoodium children, who do not stay at home because there is no real home in which to stay.

Really we can’t blame the men. After they've heard amusing speech a few hundred times they may be pardoned if they don't roar with laughter. They may also be pardon- ed if it begins to get on their nerves u bit.

TYet, we are still relying on the old wisecrucks and the old comie acts to make us povular elther with the boys or the boy. Yerhaps your old standby lines and Jjokes still go down well with the crowd you run around with—the boys still funny. But, {f you have cut out the crowd and are concentrating on one young gentleman, don't pull the old gags too often—don’t drag in your pet words and terms more than once a week—-don't fall back on your sweet little tricks more than once a year.
