One reason for the present interest in fur scarfs in France is the decided vogue over there of the two-pece suit. In warmer weather the Parisian wears a suit with a silk_scarf, or possibly with no scarf at all, the collar of her drawn_over the collar of the suit jacket. When cooler Fall days come’ the fur scarl that had been worn only by a few for fashion's sake during warmer weather becomes something of a ne cessity. The fur scarf is also worn with ‘the oneplece street frock that women choose for street wear during the Autumn season.

The Pale-Faced Tot. Rosy cheeks are the prerogative of childhood and that is why we try to simulate an appearance of health and youth by adding rouge to the cheeks. And yet some children seem to be healthy and are pale always. How can we tell if this is due to the texture of their skin, which in some persons seems mnever to show the red blood underneath, or if it is due to {ll health. The one way seems to be to look to the signs accompany- ing the paleness rather than the pallor itself, b If a child is well, is up to standard weight, has good firm muscles, bright eves and red lips, the natural uniform color of his skin may be of no signifi- cance; but if he fs both pale and has flabby fat, muscles lack tone, his eves have shadows underneath and the red of lip and the lining of the eye are pale also, that child is undernonrished and anemic. It is impossible for a child fed en- tirely on milk for the first year, whether he is breast or bottle fed, to get enough minerals, especially fron. into his system without the addition of fruits and vegetables and cereals containing these elements. That is why we so continually urge mothers to begin weaning at 9 months and not to wait until the child is a year old, no matter if he seems to be doing all right. Children must have minerals from the time théy are 6 months old. These | minerals are given in the form of orange juice, cod-liver oil and vege- table water and pulp. Cereals can come during the seventh month. He needs these foods whether he is tak- ing a bottle or being breast fed, be- cause neither cow’s milk nor mother’'s milk contains sufficient quantity of these elements to furnish the child’s needs. So if your baby is showing marked signs of anemia look to his diet. In- clude orange juice and cod-liver oil if he is under 6 months of age and after that put vegetable water in his bottle feeding (in piace of other water) for one feeding or give him the sleved pulp of spinach or carrots once daily.
