WOMAN'’S PAGE. l BY MARY MARS! A few years ago young women wore pajamas because they were boyish, now we choose to wear the new pajamas because they are so completely femi- nine. It would be hard to devise any NUMEROUS SIDE PLEATS GIVE THE PAJAMAS THE SKIRT-LIKE FULL~ NESS FAVORED BY FASHION.

But the north side is and will remain gx;inh property. As such any sort of ilding may be erected there. So the demand is heard for some sort of control of building on the north side. Congress has been asked to enact legislation which would prevent the ap- pearance there of an architectural ‘monstrosity—one that would spoil the other side of the Avenue. President Hoover had the same idea in mind when he called the attention of Congress to the situation. It was his Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. What Is Intelligence?

You and I may protest against the longer skirts and the increas>d fussiness of the new clothes, and yet when we see all these new examples of the dressmakers’ ingenuity we feel a strong urge to give them a trial. They satisfy our netural craving for change and the desire to ‘dress up” that few of us ever out- grow. A pajama costume of the sort shown in the sketch trousers is achieved by means of fine pleats laid at the sides and a slight gathering back and front. ‘This week’s Help for the Home Dress- maker shows how to make the new jabot trimming from three small squares of material. If you are planning to wear a suit this Spring—you will certainly want a copy because the jabot blouse or ves- te. adds s0 much fo the smartness of the suit. Just send a stamped, self- addressed envelope to Mary Marshall, care of this paper, and a copy will be forwarded to you. (Copyright, 1930.) DAILY DIET RECIPE DATE AND WALNUT PUDDING.

Many mothers are possessed of the attitude tha:, since the child has™a whole lifetime to grow up_in, it doesn’t matter particularly how long he lingers at any one stage of development. On the contrary, it does matter a great deal. One mother asked me in all serious- | ness, “What difference does it make | whether the baby over 1 year takes his milk from a bottle, fust so he gets the milk?” Another said, “Please tell me why it is harmful for a mother to nurse her baby the second year if he is well nourished?” Both questions have the same answer. Though it is Ihell’?er the nursing mother can ever satisfactorily breast-feed a baby more than 9 months of age, the question: of nourishment is only seconda The primary consideration is the matter of pew habits. A baby grows in both physical and mental development through the ‘acqui- sition of new. habits.. As lang he does the same old thing in ti old way he is learning nothing new. hen he begins to sit up instead of lie, creep instead of sitting up, walk instead of creep, or handle a bottle instead of nursing, hold a cup and spoon instead of a bottle. Every new act or habit he acquires has a long chain of allied activities, both mental and physical, which accom- pany it. Learning to hold a bottle at a cer- tain angle so that the milk. runs into his mouth is quite an achievement for the small baby. How much more intri- cate is the act of tipping & cup just right so that instead of being drenched by the downpour he gets a comfortable mouthful-of milk! When ‘we stop to think.about it we realize that baby .does not learn any- thing until he does it. He may get the idea from watching us, but to make drinking comfortable he.sctually has to hold the cuf in his own hand and practice with it a bit before he has really learned that parti activil Plainly, we are mentally re the child if we keep him at the overlong, even if the mother thinks he is well nourished, or let him hang onto his bottles when he is quite capable of ammnng-‘ cup after sufficlent prac- ce. We recently heard of an exaggerated | example of parental blindness. The par- ent of a 10-year-old child dressed, washed, bathed and combed the girl, point of scrubbing her The child was rather | "|’stupid in school and the mother slap- ped her each time she didn't think of an answer quickly enough, in “order to teach her to think faster.” Here was a child who was being refused every opportunity to develop the simplest kinds of pl lexterity, and it was evident that her mental abilities were likewise hampered. ‘We can't cut off the child’s develop- ment in every normal way and expect him to be mentally brill ‘Walking. talking and using fingers and arms are part of the whole development of the. child, and, if we are wise, we must give him every chance to develop them as fast as he is able.

LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. * Pop was smoking to himself and ma sed, Willyum, there was an unusually intristing article in tonites paper by P. Willis Hinkle. It certeny was unusual if it was in- trising at all, pop sed. Now Willyum. how can you be so un- fair to P. Willis Hinkle? ma sed. He has a grate mind, she sed, and pop sed, Well if he has its uncanny how he keeps it out of his writings. Now just wait till you hear this the- ory of his and youll change your opin- fon on s higher scale, ma sed. He says in tonites article that Shakesbeer was wrow when he sad Whats in a name? P. Willis Hinkle says that a persons name is one of the most influential | things about them, and he says for that reason parents.cant be too careful about what name they give a baby, because whatever they name the child is libel to shape the whole future corse of its com- ing life, and a childs name always re- flects its personality for better or for | werse. For instants, P. Willis Hinkle | says its impossible to think of Julius Seezer by any other name, ma sed. By gollles thats rite, Im going to stop thinking of him as Billy Sunday after this, pop sed. . Now the question in my mind is, how can we applv this theory of P. Willis Hinkle’s when it come to naming Gladdises baby? ma sed. Thats easy, pop sed, and ma sed, Jullus Seezer Parkins would be a name fit for any child to live up to. At least I mean the Parkins part duzzent sound 8o very inspiring, and thats all the more reason why the Julius Seezer part is necessary to mitjgate it and counter- ballence it. Willyum I think your sug- gestion is splended, she sed. Yee gods its not my suggestion, do | you think Id delibritly blight my own career as a grandfather? pop sed. For Peet_sake dont you know a joke when you hear it? he sed, and ma sed, I dont care a tinkers continental what spirit you suggested it in, its a good suggestion and thats all that counts, and Im going to_tawk it over with Gladdis tomorrow. ‘Wich she proberly will. — Caramel Custard.

A reader of the Chats, aged 45, and quite a bit over weight, tells me she has a chin as emooth and young and firm in contour as when she was a girl. No flabbiness, no double chin, no bad profile line. She thinks it is because for 25 years she has had to use an anti- septic throat gargle twice a day. Not that the gargle has done the out- side of her chin good! But to gargle she has to throw her head far back, stretching the chin and neck as much as possible, keeping this up for 5 to 10 minutes altogether each day. This has exercised these muscles so that no un- wanted fat has been allowed to settle under the chin, there to make a hideous cket. I think there is a lot in this dea, that Sonia G—— Is quite right. And also right in her bellef that any one with a tendency toward fat should do this sort of exercise for five minutes or so every single day, to achieve good results. . Speaking of chins, Dorothy Nye, who used to be head of the physical educa- tion In Barnard College, says that bad chin lines can be corrected and that awful hump of “dowager” flesh at the back of the neck kept away forever by standing correctly. Chest up, which draws in the abdomen, and -head held up. This straightens the neck and raises the chin. Of course she recom- mends _exercise, which most women hate. But one thing every woman can do—begin her day by stretching in bed, arms over the head, feet pushing down, yawning, turning the head from side to side and twisting the body until every muscle has had a little preliminary work to do and the blood is stirred. Relax, and stretch again and relax and stretch ind then throw off the covers for the noxt exercise. This is to reach down, s'tting in bed, reaching with the hands bevond the toes. Then lie down and throw the feet over the head, JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English. BY JOSEPH J.
