WOMAN'S PAGE. Clever Evening Head Decorations BY MARY MARSHALLD The Pope recently proved himself to be a good sslector of wedding pre: ents. When hix niece, Maria Ratti, Wwas married to Persichetti Ugolini, ha presented the hridegroom with four bookeases, each containing 25 hooks, and to the young woman he gave, be sldes the wedding zown. a diamond tiara, Seldom has a Pope set a fash. ion, but the fashion for giving books for wedding presents is one that might wisely he copied, and already there as tiaras used to be, but low on the forehead, after the manner of a ban- deau. At her wedding the Pope's | niece ‘also wore her bandeau in this | position. Jewelers in this country have al | ready had many demands for tlaras, | usually of a less expensive sort, and they feel that the time is ripe for a revival of interest in these ornaments. | Tiaras and other similar head deco- | rations have heen worn by well dressed women this Winter at the op- era and. other formal evening occa- sions. Usually they are not made of diamonds, not even of rhinestones, but of a sort of strass that is called “French brilliants." There are many varieties of these | brilliant evening head decorations— slender strands of brilliants to encir cle the head and coronets and tiaras. So far from being unsuited to the bobbed head, these queenly ornaments are most suitable and solve the proh lem of keeping short locks or grow- ing locks under perfect control. (Copyright. 1626.)

FISHKILL, Y., December 23, 1776.—If future generations of Amer- fcans are ever interested to know what faith sustains the Americans of these times that try men's souls, let them read the address published today by the New Yqrk convention to the peo- ple of this State. The address, though signed by Abraham Ten Broeck as president of the convention, was from the pen of John Jay. It might well be calléd the second chapter of the Declaration of Independence. After reciting the motives which led Amer- fea to take up arms with the King of Great Britain, it deals with the loss of New Jersey, and then exhorts the peo- ple to consider “that we do not fight for a few acres of land, hut for free- dom—for the freadotiv#nd happiness "They speak of peace,” it declares, “but hold daggers in their hands. They invite you to accept of blessings, and stain your habitations with blood. Their voice resembles the voice of Jacob, but their hands are like the hands of Esau. Charging the present King alone with the full responsibility for the war, it declares: “Tell those who blame you for de- claring yourselves independent that you have done no more than what Your late king had done for you; that he declared vou to be out of his pro- tection; that he absolved you from all allegiance. By his consent, by his own act, you became independent of his crown. If you are wise you will always continue so. Freedom is now in your power. Value the heavenly gift.

F. finds that her baby has a habit of scratching the woodwork of her crib. Her mother thinks that this is a sign that the baby needs lime in her food. The baby, who is getting 22 ounces of milk, 14 of wa- ter and 3 tablespoonfuls of corn sirup, is 8 months old and weighs 16 pounds. She also gets three teaspoonfuls of orange juice and the same amount of cod liver ol daily. Her bowels are irregular. She has no teeth. It would seem to be rather barren of results for the baby to try to get a supply of lime by scratching the woodwork and my guess is that it merely shows that she is enchanted with the noise she is making. Twenty- four ounces of milk is right for her weight, and she can take 8 ounces at a feeding now. In addition to the orange juice and cod liver oil, she can take part of an egg yolk and also cereals, night and morning. Informa- tion about these things appeared so recently in this column that I hope mo!’t mothers have read and profited by it. This baby is a rather poor weight for 8 months, and the lack of teeth shows that the diet could be improved with benefit to her. Mrs. E. B. W. writes: My 10-month- old baby weighs 25 pounds and has seven teeth. How long should he sleep? When I put him to bed at night he sleeps for a while and then wakens and has to be taken up and put to sleep again. He does this three or four times before I go to bed. Some nights he won't get to sleep until 11 o'clock. Should I put him to bed at the same time every night and let him ery it out? He cries so long be- fore he goes to sleep. In the night he refuses to go to sleep without a bottle unless I put him in my bed. He gets a bottle every four hours and none at night if I can keep from giving it to him. He also gets orange Juice, cereal, meat broth with rice or macaroni and apple. He has a rash on his chin and around his mouth, which has been there a long time. What causes that? Answer.—The baby is such a tre- mendous weight that one could not even suggest that he might be under- nourished, so it is evident that these wakeful periods come from one of two reasons, Firat, that he has too much to eat at his night meal, and the rest- lessness is due to indigestion, or that he is not used to regular sleeping hours, either day or night. The last is probably the cause. I am sure, without a single exception, if a child has been used to regular nap periods and sleeping hours at night, that even if hix food is not ideal, he will sleep when he I8 put to bed, barring tempo- rary wakefulness, due to iliness, colds, teething, etc. Your baby needs more rest in the daytime and absolute reg- ularity at night. Not one day being put to bed at 6 and the next day at 11 (when papa or mamma take her out), which I have a feeling is what hap- pens. Try one bottle feeding at 10. Perhaps the child really needs this fifth feeding. The chin eruption seems to suggest eczema. Something 1s wrong with the diet, perhaps too much cream, or too much sugar and starch. The overweight suggests the same thing. Jellied Vegetables, Take one can of thick vegetable soup and add an equal quantity of ‘water.

WASHINGTON, |Why a College Boy Should Never Cut Short His Education to Marry—Should a Man Who Can't Marry for Two Years Propose Now or Wait? EAR DOROTHY DIX: What can a young man do who is confronted with the problem of whether to marry and go to work or_to continue with his education? Suppose a man in the midst of his college course meets a girl whom he considers an ideal of womanhood and with whom he falls in love. Should they marry or not? [ have seen young men with the brightestsprospects for the future cut short their education in order to be married, and I wondered if they ever regretted it. 5 Is there a remedy for this situatfon? If so, what? COLLEGIAN. Answer: There is a very ohvious remedy for thiz situation, and it consists in applying a little common sense to it. Any man who takes any forward look at the future (and a college education is of little value if it doesn’t furnish one with a point of view from which he can see farther than his no must see, even if he is the most ardent lover, that it is better for himself and much, much better for the girl he proposes to make his wife to put off matrimony until he has not only finished school, but ie in a position to support a family. marry. “The first is that he I8 too voung, ton undeveloped, too much in a state of flux and change to know his own mind and realize what he wants in a wife. Every college town fs full of college widows who have heen the feminine ideals of successive generations of college hoys who were preserved by Heaven from marrying them and who are now filled with mirth when they think back upon the ladies who filled their calf dreams. Another reason why a college hoy shouldn't marry is that he should be giving his full mind to his studies and not to honeymooning and trving to adjust himself to a wife. And the hest reason of all why he shouldn't marry i that, except in a few cases where a boy has inherited money. he has no way of supporting a wife and he either has to cut short his education or else dymp her upon his long-suffering family to be fed and clothed. G F course, the hoy may be willing to give up his education and go to work, but if he does the chances are that he will bitterly regret it, and in time he will feel an animosity against the wife for whom he has sacrificed 80 much, He will inevitably hlame her for his folly and feel that the reason why other men less talented than he have passed him in the race of life is that he was too heavily handicapped by his too-early marriage. It won't he just, of course, but justice cuts small ice in the domestic relationships of men and women, ' A good education ix the means by which a man can do better work. With it he can better care for the woman he loves, keep her safer and softer. With it he can achieve the triumphs to lay at her feet. Therefore, if ha really loves a woman he will have the courage and the unselfishness to wait untii he Is in a position to marry her. He won't rush into an untimely marriage that is bound to bring hardships upon her. DOROTHY DIX. JDEAR MISS DIX: Tam a recent college graduate in love with a dear girl, but am unfortunately not in a financial condition to ask her to marry me. By two vears' hard work I expect to feel able to assume the obligation of matrimony, but the question is should I niaintain silence until then or speak of marriage now? 1 feel that she cares deeply for me, and although we are both young we are not light-minded voungsters. ARDENT SWAIN. “ e e Answer: Speak. It is every woman's privilege to have as much love- making as the gods allow her. It is a satisfaction to her as long as she lives to know that a man has loved her even when something develops that prevents her from marrying him. T don’t believe in long engagements, especially where the couple must be separated and where there is every chance of their growing apart and yet being bound by a fetter which they feaj that they cannot in honor break. But two years isn't a long engagement. 1t is just long enough for a couple to get well enough acquainted with each other to know whether they really_sult or not.

John's bluff, goodnatured chaff will do her more good in the end than all the pity and soft-soaping she might get from a more tender, compas- sionate sweetheart.

A dentist asked for some advice about reduction, but the stamped en- velope he inclosed was addressed to his wife, whose dimensions were duly entered in the postscript, and I be- lieved the woman really needed reduc- tion, so T sent her “the works.” But along with the instructions’ and ad- vice I sent her something else. What- ever it was, it made the dentist pret- ty mad. I don’'t mind that, for my teachings about the conservation of the teeth often make dentists mad. But in this case the dentist's indigna- tion was aroused because he said I said something which led his wife to suspect he didn't love her as he used to love her when she was sweet 138. Now I am honestly sorry about that. When a man has been loving the same woman for 10, 15, 20, 25 vears, and everybody else can see she ien’t the same woman at all, it is de- plorable to give the poor blind fellow any reason to suspect his present wife suspects he doesn’t love her just as much as he loved the wife he had 10. 15 or 25 years ago.
