T Fresh Air, No D BY'LYDIA LE Fresh air is as important for in ts as for adults. It is due in some legree to the appreciation of this tha the health of wee tots averages high- er than in bygone years. Once the Uttle folk were sheltered and shielded not alone from draughts, but from gresh air, especlally ‘“night air,’ Which, for' some reason, was thought true that @ocidedly baneful. It is 1 b WHEN A CHILD SLEEPS IN A ROOM ~ APART FROM THE MOTHER. there are regions where sun-cleared and purified alr is unquestionably more beneficial than the evening al when moisture rises, praducing a ponetrating chilliness. Nevertheless, when night comes there is no air to breathe other than night air, except which is stale, filled with im- purities, and therefore unhealthy, in rcoms where windows are kept tight- closed. This brings us back to the first conclusion, that fresh air is im- BEAUTY CHATS WOMAN'S PAGE. aught for Children BARON WALKER. -] perative for health of babies and e | »dults, One thing to guard against ie draughts. It is true that the air will not do any harm if it is pure fresh air. It is the force of it that is harm- 1 | ful when it comes against the body "|in strong currents at a temperature that clashes with that already sur- rounding the person. Either scorch- ing winds or frigid breezes make one uncomfortable when coming in draughts of decidedly higher or lower temperature than that in a room. The discomfort is a friendly warning or danger signal either to change one's position or to stop the draught. Baby Blankets Protect. In the case of infants one method or the other must be resorted to imme- diately, according to the necessities of the surroundings. However, a wee baby can be so protected against chill draughts of wintry air that the fresh air does not have to be shut out to such an extent that the benefits of the purity are eliminated. Infants’ ward robes are sure to contain blankets of beauty as well as warmth that can be wrapped about head and shoulders as well as the rest of the body. Bassinets and Hoods. Bassinets are so deep that the sides shield the little one from air that might otherwise come directly on it. Hooded cradles were a necessity in colonial days, when homes were not centrally heated and air would whis- tle about rooms even if one sat close | to the open fire. Today the majority ets are minus a hood, but if s likely to sleep in a room ents of air circulate freely, guard. It will scarcely where cu a hood is a &a be of the old type, but be the modified form that consists of flowing draperies from a curved rod attached to the standard of the Bassinet. Baby's Need for Air. When a baby or little child sleeps in a room apart “~om its mother, less air will be needed in the room with- out diminishing its freshness. The child uses up very little air compared with’ that inhaled and exhaled by adults. When parents are accustomed to and require wide-open windows when they sleep, in order to wake | thoroughly refreshed, it is a wise pre- caution to e the child sleep in an- other room. higher temperature, with no less purity of air, can be fain- tained for the one little tot, who will get all the fresh air its constitution demands. Another point in favor of this arrangement is that when the in- fant requires attention during the night the mother can .give it in a warmer and much more comfortable foom than the one where windows are wide open. This tends to prevent her from taking cold, so it is advantageous for both mother and child. BY EDNA KENT FORBES, An Attractive Smile. Smiles are curious. Almost exactly the same sort of facial twisting, the changing of position of a few muscles —and the effect is either very pleas- ant, or distinctly unpleasant. So many women look perfectly villatnous when they smile, and their emotions are really very sweet. Why can't they look sweet, when they feel so? Something is wrong—and it isn't their minds or their feelings—something is simply physically wrong with the way they smile. What about your smile? If you have any doubts about it, practice smiling at yourself in a mirror, It it doesn’t express yourself, what you feel, what you want to convey to your friends, then do something about it. A smile is sweetness, or merri- ment, or understanding, or plain joy of being alive, or Amused derision; it has a thousand variations for a thou- sand shades of emotion. And all be- cause the lips lengthen and the eyes open wider, or become brighter! Of course, the teeth are most im- ortant in making a smile attractive. f you are conscious of having really good teeth, you will smile as widely as you want, knowing you are only add- ing to your attraction. If you have poor teeth, you will suppress your _natural_smiles, or_try to_smile_with Across. 1. Data 5. Tall poles 9. Center of the rubber industry 0. A pastry. 2. God of war. 4.

A good dentist will give you good teeth—good enough to let you show them freely when you want to laugh at least. Aside from having good teeth, it isn't a bad idea to smile at yourself in a looking glass, to see how you do it. If you are alone, you won't feel self-consclous, and you can prac- tice different kinds of smiles—enough at least to find out whether yours makes you prettier or not. If it doesn't, then you will have to practice until you learn how to do it better. Facial expressions can be trained and perfected, and your smile, more than anything else, should add to your charm.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Lately there seems to have been more than the ordinary ntimber of questions about skin troubles. There are so many kinds of ‘“rashes” that it is a difficult matter to try to dif- ferentiate them by mail and also by the description given by the mother. A rash may be caused by nothing more harmful than a harsh soap on the very dry skin of an infant, or it may be caused by the wrong kinds of food, and naturally the way to cure this latter disorder would not be by applying remedies to the skin but by clearing it up through the harmful food which is causing it. An overfat baby may have eczema because his mother's milk is too rich in fats, or if he is a bottle baby be- cause he Is getting a Jersey or Guern- sey milk, or even the “top” of ordi- nary milk. The eczema will be relieved when the fat content is cut down or skimmed milk or buttermilk given. The breast-fed baby may be sensitive to certain food elements, notably eggs, sometimes cow’s milk, pork, fish, choc- olate, wheat, oats or some fruits. When these appear in his mother's diet the baby gets a rash on his face or body. One cannot tell exactly what causes this except to notice when it does appear and thus be able to point out certain foods which seem to cause it. Vaccination with these foods will often clarify the mystery and the mother can avoid these in her diet or introduce them in such cautious amounts that the baby will learn to become tolerant toward them and then they won't affect him. Sometimes babies begin to have eczema when they are started on new foods. In that case it should be easy enough to discover the offending food and use the same method of introduc- ing it in very, very small amounts into the baby's diet until he acquires an immunity toward it. Eggs are frequent offenders in this respect, especially the egg white (which s protein). All cczema should be ‘treated inter- nally as well as externally in order to heal the rash. If a rash is healed by the use of salves alone it is fairly safe to conclude that the disorder was not due to food but was purely an external irritation of soap, hard water, or_something of the sort. For speedlest service, mothers should take advantage of the leaflet service offered through this depart- ment. The answer to almost every ordinary question has been anticipated and Included In the following list of leaflets. Any one or more may be had by sending a stamped envelope containing name and full address of the reader. It is wise when asking for more than one leaflet to send an envelope large enough to hold them. The leaflets are not large, but it is better to send at least a full-sized en- velope alwayva. You may have leaflets on the follow- ing subjects: Prenatal care and diet for the nursing mother; Indigestion; Feeding and = Weaning, covering periods from 7 months to 3 years old: Bczema; Layets; Forcible Feeding: Hiccoughing: Dirt Eating: Cradle Cap: Hives; Vomiting; Limewater; Worms; ce; Cod Liver OIl; Refrac. y n; Teething; Sleeping; Thumb Sucking; Sitting and Walking: Training in Cleanly Habits; Periods of Nursing. “puzzh'cks” Puzzle- Limericks e There was an old man of the —1— ‘Who made himself garments of —2—, When asked “Do they —3—?"

L) Fashionable Folk by dulia Boyd Mark Burton returns from abroad because of a letter received from Maude Maynard, the aunt of his ward, Jeswsica Bartlett. Jessica is about to inherit the principal of her father’s estate, and Maude is afraid a fortune hunter mamed Raymond Townley is preying on her affections. She asks Mark’s help in the matter. Mark tries to establish a friendly feeling between himself and Jessica. On the night that he arrives she is having a masquerade party, and he dances with Peggy Hartley, Jessica’s best friend. Later he asks her out to dinner and the theater, which thrills Peggy and surprises Jessica. CHAPTER IX. Jessica Likes Raymond. Jessica had made up her mind to marry Ray Townley. He fascinated her. She loved his thin face and the way his eves were sot; giving him a slightly Oriental expression. Then, too, he had the experience of a man of the world and was only 28. She didn’t belleve any of the stories told about him, either. People always ex- aggerated when they wanted to gos- sip and were unnecessarily cruel. Ray had never told her very much about himself. But in a clever way he had insinuated that he had been very much misunderstood. She was surprised and flattered that he cared to play in their crow much younger, and when he began to pey her particular attention she had been thrilled. As a_matter of fact, although Jes sica did ot know this. her fortune had been greatly overrated. It was known, of course, that she would inherit her principal at the sage of 21, but her present income seemed enough to provide her with the essentials of life, if not most of its luxuries, Of eourse, Aunt Maude paid her share of the expenses of maintain- ing the house, and she had never taken a cent from Jessica for her up- bringing. Young people are apt to overlook such things, however, and Jessica hadn't given a thought to the fact that her aunt had been faithful to her over a period of vears, She tolerated Aunt Maude. nothing more, and there were times when she resented her fiercely. There had been the time, for instanca, when her name had first been coupled with that of Raymond Townley, and Aunt Maude had tried to talk with her. Jessica had been furious, “Of all the narrow viewpoints that's the worst,” she had stormed. “As if T believed any of the gossip that goes around this town.” “But it's true, dear, that his wife had to divorce him, and, besides, Jes sica, T don't like his face.” “Of course, you don't like his face.

Not only that, but I like him. 1 think it’s rotten of you to suggest that he's after my money. How ridiculous! Why, he's making loads of money. Besides, I haven't 50 much. Just enough to live on com- fortal You'd think I was about to inherit millions.” Maudo saw that she had failed and stopped taiking about it. But shortly afterward she had written to Mark. She was afraid for Jessica. In spjte of her modern tendencies, Jessica was 50 young and unspoiled. She wouldn't have admitted it for the world, but Maude knew that the girl was roman- tic. Jessica would have scorned such an idea. Her crowd didn’t admit such a thing as romance. They all pre- tended to be hard-hoiled and in a way incapable of feeling. But at the age of 14 Maude had come upon her reading a book one aftc rnoon. She had heen too absorbed to hear her aunt's footsteps, and the slow tears had dripped on the pages of the book open before her. Later Maude had cap- tured the book. It was “St. Elmo™! Surely, that Jessica of 14 had not been entirely obliterated by the Jessica of 20, for of all the wild romances, “St. Elmo” is certainly the wildest. Yes, the Jessica of 20 scorned romance—openly. But Maude had discovered certain slim books of poetry that had been left carelessly about the house. Some of the pas- sages were marked. “They are not londh the weeping and the laughter, Love and desire and hate— I think they have no portion in us after ‘We pass the gate! They are not long, the days of wine and roses——"" Romantic, certainly, and strange things for a girl to be reading who was not sensitive to beauty and who had not the capacity to be cruelly hurt. Jessica would demand certain things of life. She would never real- ize them with Raymond Townley. He would take her and twist and warp her ideals. And Maude wanted for her the best that life had to offer. Up to the present time she had been closer to her than any one else. (Copyright. 1927.) (Continue in tomorrow's Star.) - Orange Icing.

NEW YORK CITY We are called upon to give up light wines and beer because some people abuse whisky. ‘We are nat called upon to give up | the dance, the theater or sport be- cause some people abuse them. | Why the distinction? Answer—There is a disposition to | put a halo of harmlessness around the wine cask and the beer keg, as if the reputation of these two anclent “friends of man’ were suffering be cause they have been found in the bad company of gin and whisky. The indictment against alcoholism however, i3 a general one, and the theory that the use of wine and beer should be legalized because they will eliminate the use of more concen- trated forms of alcoholic liquor is not supported By anv facts known to me. Moanwhile, citizens are required by statute to give up all intoxicants, whether in the form of thase fnno cents, the wine cask and the beer keg, or those wickad Aesneradocs whisky and gin. The basis of this legislation is the clalm that intoxi- cants in any form are a public menace requiring social control. Shou'd dancing, theater-going or foot ball become a similar menace to the health and morals of the Vi it would be justified in prohibiting them. In fact, some of New York City’s convivial cafes are now being compelled to close before 3 a.m. be- cause they are the haunts of crim- inals, thugs and gunmen. Those who object to prohibition as a policy ecan use every legitimate means to repeal its enactment. Meanwhile, I can repeat that it is the law. READING, PA. Why do 8o many modernists in the pulpit concede everything to sclence? Surely they must know that the pul- pit is the place for revealed religion! Answer—Preachers may be modern- ists, fundamentalists, or neither, but like the rest of thinking men they cannot ignore the scientific temper of this age. Although the assumptions on which sclence rests its case are in some respects inadequate, they have become an {nseparable feature of tralned minds, and are so deeply in- grained in the average educated per- son that he often supposes they have no_alternatives. It is as habitual for your children as college graduates to construe cre- ation:in scientific terms as it was for the Hebrew to construe it in terms of the supernatural. Surely the pulpit must recognize their attitude or fail in its mission to them. No teacher of eacred truth can dismiss the mental climate of his people, and if he could he would betray their spiritual Interests, Yet, if there must be a fight, why not take the war Into Africa? Instead of fighting sclence, let ministers annex it. This f8 what that notable divine, the late Dr. W. L. Watkinson, did with conspicuous success. Who knows, for instance, that what is called the sclentific order is the final order? Tts beginnings were fre- auently speculative, not to say super- stitious: its growth will surely involve ~reat changes. Dr. Whitehead LITTLE BENNY cor- BY LEE PAPE.
