HARLAND H. ALLEN. When you go marketing in® the| morning. do you plan to buy foods that will facilitate a cool house in the evening. Really wide awake | Ehoppers are in the market for cool- ness from morning to night. As a| result they enjoy cooler Summers an more pleasant ones. While a fewa cles specially purchased will cool one's Summer, regular purchages made with | discrimination and seleetion will also | help to do away with the increased | warmth of Summer. For example, if you buy food for the evening meal that requires a hot or continued fire waste heat will radi- ate from the kitchen into the other rooms. By buying the correct sort of foods it is unnecessary to heat the | house at dinnertime. Avoid especally foods that must be fried or cooked “in | the open.” Broiling and baking foods | may be cooked in shorter time with less heat and odor. 3 | It one shops for dinner eafly in the morning and has it cooked by 10 or 11 o'clock the heat of cooking as | well as its odors will have been whisked away by noon. The result is a cooler house and a pleasanter 'ternoon and evening. Another shop- ping hint for coolness is to buy a few simple things to eat. Overloaded OUR CHILDR Barefoot Hour. Children have need of comfor(ap]e feet. All their lives long they must stand on their feet, and a lot of their success in the standing will depend upon what kind of feet they have. We would not think of binding a child’'s hands. “Of course not. child has to use his hands. How could he manage without his hande?” How can be manage without his feet? You who have corns and bunions and fallen arches answer me that. You were not born with such affiic- tions. They are the fault of improper care of your feet. Maybe you lived in an age when it was stylish to have a No. 2 shoe on a No. 5 foot. Maybe your mother liked little feet. Maybe | she lived too far from a good shoe shop to help you much in the matter of shoes, There is no such difficulty Everybody is agreed that a well formed foot is a beautiful foot. No-| body with sense pinches his feet or| wears the wrong shoe, Ease of bear- | ing, lightness of step is the hallmark of style and good breeding It s} easier now to be comfortable be- | cause it is stylish. But the children? I see shoes that pinch children's | toes. They grew out of them and mother thought they would do a little while, anyway. That means a stunted growth somewhere in the little foot. A corn, a knotted joint, the start of a bunion | I see #tockings that are too big roliing down in wrinkles to make Dlisters_on_little heels and lay the habit of a halting walk. I s hoes ghat were formed for another sort of foot on some unfortunate child whose | mother saw only the pretty shoes in the case. All this is unnecessary and very bad for the health of the child grom his head to his feet. You ses,| his feet are tied on to his head. One can’t get on without the other. First fit the child’s feet with stoc ings. Do try to see that they are; efther too short nor too long. Then fit him with shoes that belong to his feet. If it sible, get him mor than one P ha has a pair for indoors a Then once each day weather let him have a n which to air his ke off the shoes and stockings, and if there is a grass plot free of broken glass and | sharp stones, as there ought to be, | Jet him run free.

Homes are cool or warm to the eve when we enter them. This is also irue of other senses. Heavy fabrics and dark-colored hangings ak orb heat and radiate it. That is why the shop- per who dresses the house in cretonne or linen makes it cooler to the eye as well as to other senses. Buying Summer clothes that are light and attractive will add coolness to any home. The bed we lie in should be cool, because our eight hours or more in it are vital ones. The time to re- place a sagging spring is Summer, when sagging springs add to the heat of one’s body. If the shopper has replacing her mattress with one made of hair, doing it now will “cool” her Summer. Buying sheets that are wide enough will also | make sleep cooler. Special pillows for Summer are worth their drop in temperature. Hair pillows in flat, thin shapes are good buys for the home, while air- inflated ones are desirable for the camp or bungalow. It may be worth one’s while to buy one or two linen sheets and pillowsiips for those excep- tionally sweltering nights. EN Straighten out the toes and teach the child to wiggle each of them freely. Dry between the toes thoroughly and powder the feet so they are dry and smooth. When the child is old enough he is to do this himself as part of his daily routine. The daily airing will do much to strengthen the child’s nervous con- trol. The barefoot hour is one of the best tonics for a nervous child. y Angelo Patri may be | we used to hav hen I was a bo; | don’t see why T didn't hang on te But it's gone.

The wild cucumber is not so plenti- ful around Washington as in the Middle West, but T meet it sometimes |in the open hot sunny ditches and on | the clay banks, and its bitter-sweet fragrance brings back memories of childhood. Its fruits, only a little cu- cumbery im appearance and absolutely inedible, we used when I was a boy as formidable missiles. For not only are they covered with a spiny husk, but when thrown they burst and scat- ter a slimy pulp and white seeds. But the wild cucumber has far more admirable qualities. To me there is something infinitely light and airy and beautiful about the spires of its flowers, its curious pale-green lobed leaves, and its rampant stems that sprawl and climb over everything. And I am always fascinated, too, by any member of a foreign or tropical family that has a representative in our flora. There are not many of the cucurbits or gourd family with which we meet, except the cultivated strains. Sometimes, though, the true gourds and the squash and pumpkin run a little wild, and we meet their big gaudy tropical flowers. Browning, longing for England in April, seemed to take a particular dislike, in Italy, to “this gaudy melon flower.” But it is not by their flowers that the gourd family is known, but by the fruits. I know of no family that as- sumes more strange, fantastic and beautiful shapes and colors than the gourds.

As'it is, however, I do not think vou should worry about your figure. It is normal for a well developed woman to have broad hips. Venus de Milo, who is your height, measures 40.8 inches around the hips. Most athletic women of your type have to be watchful of their diet, just as you are. If you eat more you must exercise more to burn up the excess fuel supplied in your food. You may find it helpful to fast for two or three days each month. The premature graying of your hair may be hered- itary.
