REAL ESTATE. Roomy Cuifs, Substitute for Muff BY MARY MARSHALL. A middleaged Englishman in Paris recently observed that as he walked along_the strests of the French think he was 20 s younger, for all the svomen appeared to be carrying sauffs and to be walking along with bent elbows and hands clasped in their muffs just as women did in THIS BROWN CLOTH COAT HAS A BSEAL COLLAR AND CUFFS LARGE E UGH TO BE USED TO KEEP THE HANDS WARM IN VERY COLD WEATHER. the first decade of the present cen- tury. Of course we must realize that his impression of muffs was entirely an optical illusion, for few women in France or in America have been per- suaded to follow the example of the Queen of Rumania and carry muffs. But the wide, rather roomy cuffs on the new coats do make an excellent substitute for the old-fashioned muff, and so it happens that the newest gesture in walking—among Parisians and to some extent among Smart American women—is this achieved by Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. The old-fashioned nurse and mother insisted that the new mother should “eat for two,” this mystic arithmetic of foods in some way sup- posedly providing for the mother as well as the baby. We know now that if the mother is adequately nourished herself and her stomach not overloaded with food, she will se- crete sufficient milk-and of the qual- ity that will likewise nourish her baby. During the nursing period it is as natural for a mother to have a secretion of milk as it is for tears to come in the eyes when one weeps. The chief essential is that the mother be healthy and happy, and to this end the right food is supremely im- portant. -~ ‘The first essential is to eat foods which agree. The mother for many years has become used to a certain diet, and she will be better on this diet than she will be if upset by new and strange foods, far more in quan- tity than she is in the habit of con- suming, This is amply exemplified by wet nurses who have fed their own babies successfully and then who fail to se- crete good milk, or actually become i1, on the nourishing and luxurious diet given them in the homes of thelr small patients. Foods which cause the mother no distress will do the infant no harm, There is no reason at all for deny- ing one’s self salads or sour foods, in moderation, for fear they will cause the baby colic. The nursing mother should try to include one quart of milk in her daily diet, because this adds to her chances of having an adequate diet herself, If she “hates” milk, as some mothers do, she can get the results from cocoa made with milk, or with a cornmeal or oatmeal gruel thinned with milk. These are especially helpful when the mother'’s milk is scanty or poor in quality, and can be taken either with or between meals. 8o, to'sum up the necessary foods for a perfect diet: One must have the quart of milk in some form. Meats once a day. Vegetables at least twice a day, Fruits twice or three times daf Vegetables and fruits will help to keep the mother from suffering constipation, in addition to all the other good qualities these ses to avoid are the highly too much meat and rich, indigestible desserts. Fruits, brown suger and honey in place of white sugars. Custards and simple cereal puddings better to sati sweet tooth than pies or pastries. Mre.

Civilized women always seem to have some concern in knowing what to do with their hands when walking, Primitive women are never troubled to know what to do with their hands when walking. If the baby is dis- posed of in a sling across the back there are usually water jugs or bun- dles of sticks to be balanced with the hands on the head. A few centuries ago the majority of women carried a distaff which provided an apparently satisfactory way of disposing of the hands. It is only the more sophisti- cated civilized woman who 1s troubled to know what to do_with her hands when she walks, Each period of tashion solves this problem in its own way. At one time women held a para- sol in one hand and a train in the other. It may be the fashion to hold a‘fan or a handkerchief or a nosegay. Quite recently the problem has been solved by the wrap-around coat that had to be held together in the front. And now comes the muff gesture, Fur coats have run a close race for favor with cloth coats trimmed with fur, but either sort adapt themselves to the new gesture, provided only that the cuffs are deep and not too tight. (Covyright. 1027.) THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Sunday, February 6. Astrologers read tomorrow as rather an unfavorable rule, although the sun casts friendly rays. There Is & sign read as. indicating much disturbance of public thought and a tendency to belleve the worst concerning men and institutions. The clergy may find congregations critical and disinclined to give money to charity while thisi rule prevails. Under this direction of the stars the least admirable human traits are likely to gain dominance and for this reason there may be apathy regard- ing important reforms. It is fairly lucky to engage in friendly calls and even to indulge In romance while this configuration prevails. Visits to friends or possible pa- trons are subject to the best plane- tary influences, astrologers say. Astrology indicates that in France and England there will be great de- velopment of motion pictures. Neptune is held responsible for many strange developments of gov- ernment in Europe. On the conti- nent great upheavels are prognosti- cated. Persons whose birthdate it is have the forecast of success in business and financial matters. Children born on that day probably |* will be light-hearted and fond of life, They are likely to be exceedingly good employes. (Copyrirht. 19: . Superfine quality. . Not together. .

IF YOUTH BUT KNEW BY FLORENZ Theatrical 1 do not go in for literature, but I will try to write simply and frankly a few of the outstanding principles that seem .to me good for youth to follow at the outset of the upward climb: 1. Be considerate to all with whom you come in contact. 2. Always mind your own business, which should not mean you should withhold the helping hand if you see one is needed. 3. Do not care about other people's opinions. Do your best, fedr no criti- cism and the rest will take care of itself. 4. Always figure that the best ob- tainable is the cheapest in the end, no matter what the price. 5. Remember that beauty rules the ‘world. 6. Pay no attention to gossip and never believe a thing is true unless you see it to be 8o yourself. 7. Do not produce for people who are watching you in a critical or flat- tering spirit. Produce for the public. It has always seemed to me that, no matter what a man does for a living, he should spend little time examining the work of others in his own line. The man who is continually trying to find out what the other fellow is doing, and how he is doing it, loses the Answer to Yesterday's Puzzle. 3 is the best row houses, for Inside Homes than rent.
