Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. IMM((M\\ K/{ NS ) e <4 - [EVERY mother feels anxiety when her baby lags behind the average in any way. The matter of tooth-get- ting is no exception, and vet there i @ wide normal variation in the ap- [pearance of teeth. Some babies wet them as early as the fifth month, e not until nearly one year, and in between is the nice, comfortable medium into which class most children fall—that is, between the sixth and the eighth month. There is no cause whatever alarm when the teeth appear ear though the crepe-hanger can find in ven this happening eason for leful croaking. “They’ll never be trong,” she says, though one won- ders what she expects the mother to do_about it. If the child has no teeth at 1 [year of age it is a matter for concern it is more than probable that an iproper diet of the mother before Ghild’s birth, the baby’s own diet after birth, or gome serious illness is ible for the delay. cannot hurry or stréngthen the teeth by teeding the baby lime water. The type of calcium which he needs is to be found only in good cow’s milk, fresh fruits, vegetables and cereals.

It Is not necessary to start from the moment one notices this to hang every unusual event the door of the teeth. 4 what ailments a mother | to her neighbors, there is alw {one to say comfortingly, *Don it's probably just his teeth!" During the actual eruption period, |which may be a matter of two or |three days, bables have a tendency to loss of appetite, to be cross and fret- ful, to have some slight diarrhea, or jeven a fever. Help the child to be | comfortablo by keeping him _quiet, { cutting down his food so that his di- gestive tract will not be overloaded, and rubbing his irritated gums with a clean plece of surgical gauze dip- ped in ice cold water. If teeth have to be lanced, that is for a doctor to decide. The undernourished baby, the child of unstable, nervous equipment may jreact to the comparatively simple matter of getting a tooth by having convulsions; he may run a high fever —in fact, he will be upset in about the same degree as he varies from | the normal in other ways. No one disagrees with these state- ments, but here one is dealing with the abnormal child, not the normal one. It children for long periods are cross and nervous and fail to gain. @on’t continually attribute it to com- ing teeth, but discover the real reason. The baby 1s literally teething frem the day he is horn, though the actual eruption period comes at fairly stated intervals in the first two years. He <hould make a steady gain in weight, counting out slight fluctuations due to changes of food. illnessés and otker contributing elements, though he may fail to gain during the week in | which the teeth appear. From the time the feeth appear they should be kept clean. If teeth decay they should be repaired. Spots, green or black, should be cleaned off by the dentist and if necessary where the enamel is defective he will paint the spots so that the teeth will not .deg:y further., 4 ne cannot hurry teeth in or o alter thelr order exoept by etrict attention to the child's dally dlet and his general health care. Then one may forget teeth and expect that they will appear in classic order, white, strong and beautiful, a prived and fi;:khml possession for one's whole worry. Colorful Kitchen. COLOR is the fashion in the moad- ern kitchen. Everywhere women eking reliet from the soul- Ng monotony of stiff, severely plain kitchen furniture. Planning the kitchen color scheme should begin with the floor. It is easler to match fabric and paint to a linoleum or tile floor rather than to match the floor to the other deco- rations. Begin then with the color of the floor covering. Choose one of the two. or three colors which appear in the floor cov- ering, and use this as the color for your window curtains. A green and tan blocked linoleum offers an example. The walls of the kitchen may be tinted & light tan and the window curtains fashioned of green and white blocked gingham. A dash of red, in the form of a few [ window flowers in a red pot or a small nest of shelves painted bright red, will add a cheery note in this colorful kitchen. It is well to bear in mind that color schemes usually run in three colors. Two colors are rather flat. The basic colors may be of the two you choose, but a third color should be intro- duced in any of the smaller bits of @ecoration. Paint your vegetable bin a bright color and your vegetables will look more attractive while they are stored in {t. Even the dull ap- pearance of the garbage pail can be treated to a coat of bright enamel paint so that it becomes more sani- tary as well as more attractive at the same time, The proposal 18 advanced that wom- en be appointed to sypervise street cléaning in New York. 1208 G Street 0w Onr white | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Mark lightly three-quarters of an inch from the edge and machine stitch along this line and then fringe the material up to the stitching. Finish them with an embroldered decoration at one cot: design may be made by marking a circle with a 25-cent piece. Then outline the circles with fast. colored black embroidery cotton. At the side of the circle nearest the cor. ner of the napkin make a cluster of French knots in the rainbow colors with rather heavy embroidery cotton. This gives the effect of a tiny bunch of variwcolored flowers. Another easily made and ihexpen- sive little presént may be made if you have some pretty snapshots of your children, your house or your- self. At an art store buy some heavy colored cardboard and some attractive | little ealendars. Trim off the little photographa evenly and then cut a plece of white or créam-colored paper of good quality about a quarter of an inch larger than the little photograph. Cut the colored cardboard very pre- cisely in pieces about eight inches across and six inches deep and mount the white paper midway from either side edge and somewhat nearer the top than the bottom, and then paste the photograph on this white mount very neatly and paste the little calendar below. Punch two holes at the top and through these slip a piece of rib- bon from which the calendar may be hung, ‘The proportions of these little calendars should be determined by the size and shape of the little pho- tographs you have, If you have chil- dren good snapshots of them make very attractive decorations for cal- endars, which any of your friends or relatives would like.

An attractive Christmas decoration can be made from crepe or tissue pa- per, a little wire and some bare branches cut from trees in the woods. Red or orange paper is most appropriate. Cut it into circles about the size of a_50-cent plece. Take two or three of the pieces, pinch them up together at the center, stick a short plece of wire in this pinched end crinkle up the paper to make a sort of flower and then by means of the wire fasten it on the branch. There should be a dozen or so of the flowers on each twig of the branch. Bare branches may be decorated with small white balls made from cotton Christmas | calico and some bran which may be batting or absorbent cotton attached | to the branches by means of wire or thread. An attractive gift may be made for a baby from scraps of fast-colored bought at very small cost at'the feed store. Make the ball about six or eight inches In diameter.

Practical Floor Rugs May Be Artistic Also WHEN 80 many charming little rugs can be bought for so little there is no excuse for the housewife who fails properly to furnish her floors. A good rug in your living room is just as important a fitting as a_good chalr or davenport. Modern rugs are characterized by gay colors, unique designs and original shapes. Among the most popular of the new rugs are the oval ones, which come in a variety of lovely patterns. For a fresh bit of color an oval Abadan with a plain center in green or blue and a pretty floral border is always attractive. On a plain taupe carpet it gives just the cheerful note needed un! it comes in sizes ranging from 27 by 36 inches up to 40 by 70 inches. Another very modern oval rug is the imported French Wilton. This runs still larger, the largest being 5 by 8 feet. Delightful soft-toned flow- ers form_the centers and fringe the border. For a bedroom an Axminster in this shape is quite the thing to place before the bed or bureau, irre- spective of any other floor covering. Axminsters have deep, rich colorings of purple and taupe with floral bor- ders, but are small sized. In a colo- nial room, be it bed or living room, the oval hooked rug is now in vogue. Simple patterns that are reproduc- tions of antiques are the features of these, in both dark and light colors. Many are made ‘“way down east in Maine,” just as they were years ago. For a woven picture, the cameo Wil- ton emphasizes the modern note. Here again are floral motifs, but a favored design is the S8anta Maria in full sail. The smaller rugn are butterfly-shaped and colored. hese are appropriate for any room, but much demanded for sun rooms. Spanish rugs, of course, echo the vogueé for Spanish period furnishings. Alpujurras show designs handed down the centuriés from the craftsmen of | mountain monasteries. For the Medi- | terranean type of house, so common now, gorgeous deep-piled rugs woven on the Island of Minorca, just off the | coast of Spain, are likewise imported for atmosphere, as well as for luxuri- ous comfort. | Orfental rugs, of course, blend well | with tany styles of furnishings. Both | the Chinese and Persian are as much | used as ever. Antique and modern | Persians _include Sehmas, Baktria, Shiras, Feraghans, Anatollan and | prayer rugs. | From way up In Yarkand, in Chi- itual but the “Bush and Flower" Is equally Imaginative. Their soft fiber also makes these rugs suit- able for couch covers and wall hangings. The Indlan drugget is another Ori- ental rug that is practical and artistic, especially for the dining room or sun porch, where wearing ability plus at- tractiveness is desired. Quaint un- usual colorings distinguish their soft woolens, Another up-to-date rug for the sun, dining or bed room is the hard-finished Kilmarnock without seams. It. too. echoes the modern note in colorful original designs. and yet is durable because of its thick woven wool yarn. For either bed or bath room "Enx- lish mohair rugs come in bedside size and are most festive. Thick. comfort- able pile woven in two-tone effect makes these silky mohairs realiy ex- quisite, Then the wonderfully soft colors, such as eanary, geranium, tete de negre, smoke, violet, cafe au lait, powder blue, fawn, reseda, green and black, as well as black and white, are so effectlvely mellow.
