WOMAN'S PAGE Checked, Plaided, Dotted Stockings BY MARY MARSHALL. An ambitious French actress re- bently landed in this country, bring- Ing with her That 3 S8, per- haps. The important thing was that she didn’t have a single pair of stock- ings in any of the trunks. Don’t tmagine for a minute that she was go- ing to buy her stockings in America— no, indeed. Stockings simply aren’t included in her Hst of needfuls. A French actress in search of pub- Neity cAnnot set a fashion, however, end there is no danger that stockings will go out of fashion. The fact is that women at present are spending proportionately more money on stock- ings than they ever did before. Even women who shun the elaborate sort of fancy stockings find it necessary to #pend a good deal on stockings if they wirh to look well dressed. Stockings of a clear pinkish cast @re galning in importance. The pink- ish beige shade is not so well thought of. There are light, pure beige tones and there are light pink flesh tones, but there is less demand now for stockings that combine the two tones. Gray stockings are also important, but they are usually fairly dark—dark enough to be called gun metal. Many women prefer those to the beige tones for wear with black shoes. For eve- ning many women choose the lightest weight flesh pink. Very sheer black stockings are still permissible, but they are certainly not gaining ground, in ‘spite of all’ prediction. Mauve shades, usually very delicate, are also considered appropriate for evening. It is now possible in many Ameri- can shops to buy the fine grade, very thin lisle stockings with small lace | BEDTIME STORIES The Stake Driver. | Run first and then investigate For thus you'll neer be tempting fate —Danny Meadow Mouse Danny Meadow Mouse, who, you remember, had been brought to the | seashore in what he called & big “man bird,” but which vou and 1 call an airplane, had been havinz a very comfortable Summer.

He spent most of his time along the edge of the salt marsh. He felt more comfortable; he felt more at home. The open beach was no place for a timid mouse, and though he did venture out there at night in a while, it was not often. But it was verv different on the marsh. He had cut nice little run- ways through the grass in all direc tions, and in these runways he felt fairly well hidden. Sometimes he went quite a distance. Sometimes he went away over ta the big creek that wound through the marsh. It was while he was over there at sun-up one morning that he received one of the worst frights he had had for a great while. The water was low in the creek and that made a high bank where Danny | was.

N\ W\ THE MILLION DOLLAR By HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR. Betty Ames nurses James Cornell through pneumonia and they fall in love. Dr. Amos Craig is in love with Betty and is hurt when he hears the nows, while Alice Griffith, a girl Jim- my has once been interested in, is more than surprised. Jim is the type of man who is always talking about what he will do when he makes his million, and Betty soon realizes that she must learn to dress smartly and also like the people he does. Bhe is somewhat at a loss among the smart people w0 are his friends, and al- though she is daszled at the future he keeps talking of constantly, she is often hurt at his criticism. One night she is forced to break an engagement {with him because she is called on a | case. He is furious and shows it openly. (‘lL\l’Tl‘)'T{“ XIX Betty and Amos. Betty hesitated before the telephone, consclous of the fact that she was trembling all over. She couldn’t be- lieve that Jimmy had done this thing to her, that he had deliberately hung up the receiver without, saying good- by to her. It was too cruel! The temptation to call him back was almost overpowering, and yet pride kept her from doing it. Surely he was In the wrong and sooner or later he must realize it. He would see that she had done the only thing pos- sible. He would call her up tomorrow and tell her so, and although it would be hard to wait, there was nothing else for her to do. As it happened, Betty St. Martin's, the first she had had there since Jimmy's. Everything re- minded her of him, and she was on the same floor, so that the first person she encountered was Dr. Craig. He seemed different, somehow. Was it because of the glamour that always surrounded Jimmy, or had she never noticed that he was so quiet and self- contained? There was something about him that made her vaguely sor- case was at | but The temptation to call him back was almost overpowering, and yet pride kept her from doing it. ry for him, and she could not help wondering if she had hurt him very much by not loving him. At the same time, Jimmy’s treatment of her that evening made her perve She felt like hurting some one else, as Jimmy had hurt her. And so she greeted Amos with a charming smile and held out her hand to him gaily. “You're looking well,” briefly, “and happy.” This was just the opportunity that Betty wanted in her present mood, and she sald quickly: “I am happy, terribly so.” “When are you going to be mar- ried”” Amos asked, as though it were the most natural thing in the world to ask here that question. As a mat- ter of fact, it was a natural question, Betty had subconsciously ab- sorbed Jimmy's constant postpone- ment of the event and any mention of it was bound to rankle. “Oh, some time,” she said very lightly, her head perched on one side like a bird. “You haven't seen my ring, have you?" She held out her slim hand with its incongruous gift upon it. Somehow in this gray place of illness and acel- dent the diamond cluster seemed al- most florid and certainly out of place. Betty’s hand, too, emerging from the starched white cuff -of her uniform, seemed not the hand to wear such a beautiful thing, and she thought sud- denly and enviously of the soft, white fingers of Mrs. Arrowsmith. Almost ited for him to speak. beautiful,” he remarked con- ventionally, and then h a laugh, “Such things make a great deal of difference to a woman, don't they ?” Betty shrugged, even while she eyed him_curious “What do you mean by that?” “I mean that women take symbols very seriously. It's part of the game to have a ring and all that, isn’t it?” His eyes as they met hers were very level, his expression enigmatic.

The value of a gift means nothing.” But even, as she spoke, she knew she wasn't telling the truth, and as for Amos, he was thinking of her as he had seen her on that first day.

Mrs. A. H, L. writes: "“You have helped me before. I wonder if you will again. My 6-month-old son fell out of his crib onto his head. Of course, it hurt and he cried for a while, but soon stopped after I had comforted him. Could there be any serious after effects from this? He is always pulling himself to his feet and standing up. I am afraid of his being bowlegged. He is too young to do ithat, isn't he? Another thing—he vakes from his sleep with a scream. Could it be his teeth or bad dreams or some other cause? He fights sleep so that I know he doesn't get enough, though he is very active and strong. He has been teething for the last two months, but they are not through yet. Is there anything I can do to help them through tg give him something hard to bite on? Answer—As long as the baby showed no bad effects of his fall immediately, there is no reason to worry about after effects. If he had been badly hurt, he would have shown it right at the time. Babies get bad falls, but, due to the softness of their bones, there is seldom any serious injury. If he pulls himself to his feet of his own accord, it is plain that he has the necessary strength to do this. Don't encourage him, but put him on the floor on a clean comfort and let him exercise by rolling rather than standing erect. Some bables are very sensitive to noise and easlly frightened. Perhaps it is a noise that wakens him and this causes him to scream. If he wakens at night suddenly, it might be indiges- tion, or, in the case of older children, nightmares, due to terrifying stories. There is nothing that can be done for the teeth except to relieve the pain by giving the baby something to bite upon. Teething lotions other than cool water, which is soothing when rubbed over the hot gums with a hit g[’ absorbent cotton, are not advised v me. Mrs. R. L.—Your Information is so vague that it is impossible to tell you why the child gets sick in the Spring and Summer. The most likely guess is that she is being fed at that time on foods which, due to heat, are not as easily digested. Or your milk sup- ply is not good, or you don't use ice to keep it cold. Overripe fruits, un- washed fruits, too much food of any kind will cause illness more readily in the hot weather. The bad breath may come from the same cause as the ill- ness, or may be due to decayed teeth, infected tonsils or adenoids, sinus trouble, etc. Why not have her nose and throat examined? Refuse to let her play with her small brother when she mistreats him. . Eggless Pudding. ‘This is a good Indian pudding which requires no eggs.

If so, they are probably down to an unbecoming yellow by this time, and you will be doubly anxious to get 11d of them. I can suggest one very good but rather strong treatment. Take fresh peroxide of hydrogen of the best qual- ity—test it by putting some on your tongue, if it fuzzes it is good. Paren- thetically, this is an excellent thing for both tongue and teeth. Add about an equal amount of ordinary house- hold ammonia—good quality again. Keep this mixture corked in a dark bottle. Apply with a soft brush, or saturate a piece of cotton and put this all over the skin after it has been washed and dried. Don't use it after a hot rinse, or it will sting. And don’t use it over make-up or powder, be- cause it is astringent. It this stings—I don’t think it will if your skin is cool or if you have given it a cold rinse—wash it off after a few seconds. It I8 a very powerful bleach, even a few seconds will help whiten the freckles. If it stings only a little, let it stay on quite a minute, then rub some cold cream on and wipe this off. The cream will take away the sting and soothe the skin.
