WOMAN'’S PAGE. Finding Hats That Are Becoming - If there ever was a Spring when the new hats met with unanimous approval on the part of the women who had to wear them and then men who—presum- ably—had to pay for them, it was so long ago that neither you nor I can possibly remember it. Every new type of hat counts its champlons—but_there | are always serious objectors as well. 8o | —_—— THIS SMART SPRING HAT COM-| BINES NAVY BLUE FELT AND| STRAW. 1t s not surprising that when the new hats for the Spring of 1930 are dis- | cussed some women will pronounce them | the most becoming they have ever seen, while just as many women will hold thé opposite opinion. If you are one of the disgruntled ones, ‘let me remind you that if you look long enough and with your eyes | wide open you will surely find a type of hat that is becoming, because not for years has there been such a wide va- Tiety in shape and draping as this season.

It is the unusual woman who can don a hat of a new and unfamiliar sort and judge immedi- ately whether it is or is not becoming. We are too much preoccupled with its strangeness. To many women hats that leave the forehead uncovered or unshaded are unbecoming, and for these women the milliners have made all sorts of hats with narrow brims and front drapery. ‘This week's circular shows how to make interesting artificial flowers from narrow ribbon, fine wire, embroidery floss and a littlet sealing wax.

Getting Up. The hardest part of going to bed is getting up the next morning. Most fel- lows get up gradually by being remind- ed the nite before not to haff to be called too many times and then having to be called even more times than usual and even shook a few times for good mezzure, The best time to tawk without being interrupted is at brekfist, the main rea- son being that nobody elts is proberly even lissening. The ony person that jumps up wider awake than when they went to bed is a dog. Everybody in your family sleeps all Sunday morning and then wawks around the house looking like peeple that awt to be just going to bed. This proves the more you get the more you wunt. Nobody looks very intelligent the ferst thing in the morning when they sit up in bed, especially if they start ta yawn, and if somebody suddenly | asked them a hard question rite then, such as how much is 7 eights of 3 fiffs, it would prove that they dont feel much smarter than they look.

JESSE W. SPROWLS. ‘Why Dreams Are Queer. Your dreams are always made up of past experiences, even if some of those experiences are events or situations | looked forward t6 in some of your pre- vious day-dreams. Since your day-dreams are largely unknown to you or soon forgotten, you cannot figure out where you got such queer dream stuff. But the fact is you tend to dream over your day-dreams. That accounts for some of the queer elements in your dreams. Perhaps you have occasionally caught yourself in the very act of day-dreaming. If so, you can understand that it is possible to entertain fantastic thoughts even while you are going about the day's work. But there is still another reason for some of your queer dreams. When rou 80 to sleep you go to sleep in sections. Some nerve centers of your brain are actually more active than others at almost any given period of the night. This means that a sort of disha mony in the mental organiza. tion and, of course, there follows a disharmony among the images which these disorganized parts tend to revive. So it comes that one set of brain cells may be dealing with events that hap- | pened 20 years ago, another will at the same time revive something that hap- pened 10 years ago and another will | live over something you read just an hour before. B At the same time your mind is always trying to put itself in order. Your thought images are always tending to appear logical. That's why the images will now and then make compromises. They have to stretch reality to the breaking point at times. And you dream | queer things. (Copyright, 1930.) ruibe Apple Cake.

At this time the care of the baby has been thrown on the mother, and even if she has help there is always a certain responsibility that wears on her, tires her out, makes her sleep and eat poorly and affects her ability to nurse the baby. This is often just a transitory period, but meanwhile the baby is screaming from hunger and this in no way adds to the mother's placidity. Complementary feedings are exceed- ingly heipful at this time and addition of one or two bottle feedings following a nursing that is inadequate does mot affect the milk supply and later on it is possible to discard the bottle etirely or use it occasionally as a relief feeding. Complementary feedings are given directly after a nursing, not between nursings. They are usually of milk, water and sugar, and are designed to supplement the inadequate breast feed- ing. For those who are in doubt as to what constitutes a complementary feeding we have a leaflet explaining it in detail which will be sent any reader for the usual self-addressed and stamped envelope (and please don't forget that, or forget to put the name of your city and State on the envelope). They are most often needed after the later feedings of the day, the afternoon and going-to-bed feeding being the most scanty. The extra amount of milk puts baby in a mood to shut his eyes and go to sleep, instead of fretting or howling until the next feeding time is due. If a mother is doubtful about the amount of milk the baby is getting at each feeding she should weigh the baby directly before and directly after a nurs- ing. She may find to her surprise that at some meals he gets five or six ounces and at another only two. With such definite evidence the mother will have no further doubt why baby sleeps peacefully after the first feeding and “fights” sleep after the second. If one gives alternate bottle feedings and then breast feedings the breasts rapidly dry up and weaning is only a matter of time. If the nursing is done regularly and its deficiencies supplied by a bottle feeding the breast may re- spond by a better supply and the bottle can be discarded altogether. THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Blouse Plays Big Part. The blouse is a big factor in mi- lady's wardrobe this season, for the jacket dress seems to be gaining more and more popularity every day for sports, street and semi-sports. The femininity of the one I'm show- ing will especially appeal to sophisti- cated taste because of its utter chic and newness in shirred cape collar that is so smartly flattering. Another interesting feature is that it OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Be Reasonable. Boys and girls are really very patient with us on the whole. The great host of children try to do as nearly right as they know how. When they are asked to do something, instructed how to do it, they do their best. It is natural that they think they have con- formed to the set standard because the one. The performance fell short only because of the inadequate power of the nerves and muscles in question. In short, the children lack experience and practice and so cannot reach per- fection in a short time. Certainly not at the first trial. Give them time, praise them for their efforts. Point out their deficlencies in friendly, help- ful fashion and they will redouble their efforts. Be 'sweetly reasonable. Don't grow impatient because a child messes up & job. Of course you told him how to do it. You told him again and again and he heard you. He even answered you. He made assurance doubly sure and repeated your direc- tions clearly. Then he made mistake after mistake. That is due to his lack of experience, lack of practice in the right way. Give him a chance to learn by repetition, by continued repetition -?dh he will do as well as you could wish. Now and then a child oppressed by the kindly vigilance of his mother ap- peals to me. This happens so seldom that I know the case must be pressing indeed to force the child to write to me for help. A boy did so recently asking plaintively if I thought 20 minutes too much for him to devote to dressing in the morning; washing, combing hair, washing teeth, spraying nose, cleaning nails, and the like. Was 20 minutes too much? Of course not. The boy who can dress in 20 minutes and groom himself as thoroughly as an adolescent boy should be groomed in the morning is doing unusually well. It is necessary to use plenty of soap nad warm water to do thoroughly every little bit of work entailed in a complete morning toilet. ‘That requires time and practice. Un- called-for haste upsets the boy’s mind. It destroys his rhythm, consequently makes him uncomfortable, uneasy and uncertain. That will make him {irrita- ble and of course that spoils his work for the day. A bad start lowers the quality of the work. It is necessary to teach children to work well within a time limt. Daw- dling is a wasteful, annoying, mihchiev- ous habit. But in trying to establish the right habit of promptness one must guard against the extreme. Too much pressure makes a child nervous, un- certain, and he loses poise. Unless we can help a child to con- sistent, steady, accurate work well within his time limit we might better leave him alone.

BY J. P. GLASS. “FREDEGONDE HAD HER STRANGLED TO DEATH IN HER BED.” Fredegonde, the peasant girl who became a queen, belongs to the Mero- viglan epoch in French history. She proved 13 centuries ago that there are no limits to the heights to which a working girl can rise if she is beauti- {ul and—more than a fittle unscrupu- lous. Fredegonde, i¢ must be confessed, was a bad egg. About the only excus that can be used was that she lived in & rude and cruel age when men and women hesitated at no misdeeds to | obtain their ends.

Chilperic and his brother, Sigebert, king of Austrasis, fell out and went o war. Sigebert ‘was winning when Fredegone hired two assassins who suc- ceeded in getting into his tent and killing him. ~ Chilperic won the war. Fredegonde was now well started on a career of murder and assassination. Her next step was to incite Chilperic's son by his first wife, young Merovee, to revolt against his father. Failure fol- lowing, the young prince induced a servant to strike him dead. Chilperic had another son by his first wife, Clovis. Three of her own children having died, Fredegonde accused Clovis of sorcery and brought about his death. Fredegonde's purpose was to get rid of all claimants to the throne except herself and her descendants. To com- plete the job she had the former Quern Andovere ‘strangled in her convent and then procured the stabbing of King Chilperic. At this time the ruthless Queen had { only one child, an infant a few months | old, named Clotaire.

He was as cruel and ruthless as his mother. However, you had to be cunning, cruel and ruthless to hold down a throne in those days. (Copyright, 1930.)
