' ‘ Many women hoped that the new hats would provide a little more place for their hair. These were, of course, the women who still hold.out against the barber's scissors, and who have been put to endless Inconveniencs within recent years trying to stow away a more or less luxurious growth of hair within the narrow confines of hats that were designed and intended | for bobbed or shingled heads. We | heard earlier in the season that cer- | 1ain of the French milliners were making hats for long-haired women. ‘They were giving their hats little bulges in the back that would accom- | modate what the French woman calls a “chignon” ana the English woman a “bun.” | But really these back bulgings| don’t help very much, for what space | we have gained at the back of the hat has been withdrawn in front. The long-haired woman could do very well is she had nothing but hair done in a chignon at the back and had all hel front hair entirely shaved away. For | even the hats designed supposedly for | long-haired women are as close-fit- tng as un orange skin over the front of the head. Even the bobbed and | the shingled seem to he_troubled with | too much hair when it comes to get- | ting into one of these new close-fit- ting bonnets. the middle ages plucked their hair out at the front so as to add many inches to the apparent height of their foreheads. At one period they car- ried around hair tweezers with them 1o pluck out occasional hairs that showed beneath their tightly bound wimples and head bands. It was a gesture that might be compared to our present trick of applying rouge and lipstick in public. One of the most charming of the BEAUTY CHATS Impersonal Examination. Fefore you begin any systematic beauty treatments you should take an nour off and give yourself a thorough mpersonal examination. 1f vyou haven't a good memory, make out a list of everything you must do and everything you must buy.

Why do some people get hay fever in early Spring while most| get 1t in Summer? Answer to these questions in to|: morrow’s Star! Besides flying pollen as a cause of hay fever, it has been found that some very peculiar substances may cause| the disease, or at least troubles hav- ing essentially the same symptoms. Some people have an acute sensitive- ness to street dust and cannot live in citles; others react painfully to powdered cocoa, the air in glass-blow- ing factories, in flour mills. It has even been found when hay fever cases vielded to no other treatment that the dandruff of a pet cat was the cause of the trouble. Now what do you know about that?

My question is prompted by the fact that I am the sole support of an aged mother who needs constant care and attention which I cannot provide becduse I have to work, and my efforts barely suffice to purchase the necessities of life, much less the few comforts which she so badly needs. It is impossible for me to do more than I am doing, and while it will be heartbereaking to part with my mother, nevertheless I believe she will obtain better care in a good home for the aged than I can pos- sibly give her. Do you think under the circum- stances it would be in any way repre- hensible in me as a daughter to place my mother {n such a home? Answer—The Jewish and Christian churches have always taught that reverent care and devotion are due to the aged. In medieval days numer- ous charitable institutions were pro- vided for their protection. Almshouses for both sexes still exist which were founded seven centuries ago. The venerable hospitals at Chichester and the Guild of St. Cross, near Win- chester, England, with its stdtely Norman church, are well known in- stitutions of this kind. The mer- chants and nobles of the sixteenth and seventeenth centurfes _estab- lished hundreds of similar shelters in Europe and Great Britain. Our own country has them in large numbers, (he g pur baby has a toof! I ’scovered t! Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEY) A Correct Gain. Mrs. N. H.

He seems unusually bright and strong and his | flesh is solid and his cheeks are rosy. I would be very grateful for your advice.” Answer.—You are one of those exceptionally lucky mothers who don’t know how fortunate you are. I shouldn’t tamper with fortune. The baby is doing splendidly and is show- ing every sign of contentment and good health. He has made exactly the proper gain. If you like you may change him to a four-hour scheduls. You may find he will nurse a little longer when fed less often, and he may wake more frequently at night, as he is losing one feeding. If he continues to gain on the four-hour schedule and is satisfled, it is a wise idea to continue with this interval. Mrs. T. G. H. writes: “My sister haa & baby seven months old and my baby, three weeks old, is not doing at all well. My sister is willing to nurse my baby, as my milk is not sufficient for her needs, but I am afraid that because her baby is so much older that the milk won’t agree with my baby. Would this be a safe thing to do?” Answer.—The'bables of professional wet nurses are seldom the age of the baby whom the mother 1s called upon to nurse and this difference in age apparently makes no difference with the baby. The quality of milk and its comparative ingredients do not change from month té month. As the baby grows older it merely de- | mands more in quantity from the Boston, Mass.

Answer—As a mere man I-am de- nied the ability to sense the exquisite pains you suffer from this brazen duplication. Of course, you know my sex is so uniformly dressed that the male guest of honor at a public func- tion is always liable to be mistaken for the head waiter. Your difficulty is therefore essen- tially a feminine one, and there is nothing to be done about it except console yourself with the adage that imitation is the sincerest flattery. Ap- parently this piratical sister practices if successfully, otherwise you would he amused rather than annoyed by her behavior. Do not let her theft of your ideas about dress unduly affect you. After all, it 1s the woman inside the gown who makes the lasting difference. Some great ladies clad like dowdies have commanded the masculine situa- tion which the most daintly gowned creatures who fluttered around them only adorned. If this offender has a single sensi- tive nerve in her system, which I rather doubt, play on it in those gentic female ways with which you are far better acquainted than I am.

Milani’s French FOOD AND HEALTH BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS. Food Specialist. As a newspaper writer sald recent- 1y, “the time to begin to take care of the child’s .teeth is before he is born.” The expectant mother will be wise in her day and generation if she looks ‘well to her own diet before the baby comes. Her breakfast orange juice will be doing double duty, in that it will be furnishing her own system with valuable minerals and vitamins, and at the same time laying the foun- dation for strong teeth for the baby. The mother's carefully prepared and regularly eaten green vegetables will be equally serviceable to the baby's teeth. If the mother is able to nurse her baby, her responsibility about her own diet is as strong as during the period before birth. If the baby must be brought up on a bottle, she must consult her physician about vegetable juices to go in his bottle, and also about fruit juices. ‘Time was when women would have held up their hands in horror at the idea of giving bottlefed bables any part of a vegetable. Today we know that it is absolutely vital to his health. Lime is the main dependency. When we are seeking hardness of bones, it means, of course, soundness of teeth ‘We are told that the Amer- ican diet, as a whole, is usually lack- ing in lime. To take care of this, one point will benefit not only the general health of the child, but will go far toward insuring him good digestion as well. Among the foods rich in lime are caulifiower, celery, butter, milk, spin- as well. ach, cheese, cabbage, string beans, carrots, blackberries, strawberries, onions, figs, tomatoes, lemon juice, dried beans, eggs, beets, peas, oat- meal, prunes, raisins, potatoes and whole-wheat bread. Lean beef has some lime, but we depend on this food more for iron. ‘These mineral salts have been call- ed balance wheels of the human ma- chine. Not only do they help to meke the bones firm, but they keep the glands in order; they help to balance the chemical elements of which the body is made; they help the blood keep its alkalinity or neutral qual- ity; they regulate the heart and keep the nerves and muscles co-ordinating in their activity with the brain, It will be seen, therefore, that in setting out to prevent tooth decay and to insure a good set of teeth, we are helping the entire body.

Our Children Charlle was a perfectly healthy boy who semed to be enjoying life whether in school or at home. He had good marks at school. The boys liked him and the girles smiled at him. He ate his meals heartily and did his lessons easily. All went well until bed time. The nearer bed time came, the wider awake grew Charlie. By the time he was in bed he was wider awake than he had been all day. “What’s the use of my going to bed, mother, when I can’t sleep a wink,” he said. Well, you go to sleep now, like a good boy. Shut your eyes and think of something pleasant and you will_soon get to sleep. You need a good night's rest if you are to do good work tomorrow.” The light went out and Charlie tossed about for hours. Along about 11 he fell asleep. His mother heard him tossing and muttering_and _sighing night after night, and in her anxiety, went to th& @ld family physician. “He s per- fectly well. Plays and works all right but when bedtime comes he is wide awake and the longer he lies there the wider awake he gets. I've tried everything fn my power and now I have come to you. What shall we do to make the boy go to sleep nights? I am afraid of his lying there so long in the dark. It wastes his energy. He gets no rest.” “Quite so,” sald the wise old doc- tor. “I'l glve you a prescription for him. Tonight after he gets into bed put a reading light at the head of his bed and give him this book to read until he falls asleep. Let him read it as long as he likes. He will fall asleep happily, never fear.” Mother took the book gingerly. seemed a strange thing to do. It A boy didn’t want to go to sleep, so you gave him a book to keep him awake. But she had a lot of faith in her old friend and carried the book home. “I'm not going to sleep, mother. Can’t I have a light?"” “Yes. I'll put on the reading lamp for you. Here's a book I got today. Maybe vou would like it.” The astonished boy took the book gingerly as his mother had done. By Angelo Patri Gifts of books from adults usually were gift horses and not to be looked at in the mouth. He opened it du- biously, read the first paragraph, set- tled against his pillow and lost him- self in the first chapter of a hilarious story. In 15 minutes he was asleep and his light out. “Can I have my book tonight, Mom? I fell asleep before I got to the sec- ond chapter. It was so funny and so interesting, but I must have slipped off without knowing." That is what he did, of course. His mind once off the idea that he was in bed to fight sleep, he relaxed and fell asleep. Anything that will do that for the wakeful child, little or big, will be a blessing to him and his people.
