I want something that will be comfortable and ‘warm enough for Spring weather, and that also will look trim and smart for THE LIGHT-WEIGHT TWEED COAT ‘WITH JERSEY DRESS AND BERET ARE APPROPRIATE FOR MOTOR ‘WEAR. dinner at hotels where we stop. Please suggest something that is not too ex- pensive.” ‘There you have boiled down a num- ber of queries that have come from woman readers who are fortunate enough to be making plans for motor trips this Spring. I would suggest an unlined tweed eoat, which may be bought at an amaz- ingly low price this Spring. The one shown in the sketch has a cape collar that can be drawn up close around the meck when extra warmth is needed. A beige-brown mixture is a good selec- tion. For the woman to whom brown is unbecoming there are green-beige mixtures that are just as practical. To Wear beneath the coat I would suggest & dress of blending tone made of one of the new light-weight knit wool jer- seys, which wrinkle far less readily than woven materials.

BoByrient. 1030) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. ‘There is & time or a day or an event which arrives in all mothers’ lives when it seems vastly important to be relieved of the baby's care. This is right. We applaud it. A mother can be consci- entious in her duty to baby and still be able to enjoy an afternoon with her friends or an evening in the company of her husband, while baby and his care can be forgotton for the moment. One of the most annoying and de- plorable situations which can arise in the household is for the baby to be- come so firmly attached to his mother and so utterly dependent upon her for nourishment, that her iliness or forced absence is nothing short of a tragedy for those left in charge. No one can foresee accidents, or ill- nesses, or even the real need for the recreational events mentioned above, so baby should be prepared for taking different kinds of feeding, and learn to be happy with persons other than his mother. The longer one pursues an unchanging line of conduct with a baby the more difficult it is to break the bonds of habit, and all habits, one by one, must be changed and loosened None of them, not even ways of eating and sleeping, remains the same. The occasional (not regular) use of a relief bottle feeding can be initiated after baby is six weeks old, so that he learns early in life to have his hunger pangs satisfled in some other | manner than the familiar nursing. Baby will be happier, he will learn new habits and will accept necessary | changes when they arrive with smiles instead of tears. If we make the mistake of giving a relief bottle regularly, then we are really weaning the baby. Instead, we offer this relief bottle only once or twice a week and at different nursing periods, fierhlps at 10 o'clock one morn- ing so that mother may go on a shop- ping tour, and another time at 2 o'clock in the afternoon so that she may at- tend a party. It is quite possible to express enough breast milk and keep it in a clean and sterile bottle, on. ice, to furnish baby with a relief bottle. Otherwise we can use a ‘simple half and half formula of boiled water and milk and a level te: ful -of sugar for every four or five ounces of this mixture. The baby's bottle and nipple should be sterilized, the formula offered at a pleasingly warm (not hot) temperature, and the young baby will not dream of refusing b ‘The baby less than two months old may take a mixture that is slightly weaker than the above, perhaps one- third milk and two-thirds water, If the milk is boiled and the amount not excessive & baby will not be disturbed by his strange feeding. ‘We have a leaflet on “Simple Pormulas for Relief Bottles” which goes into the subject detail.

The Potomac Light Guard of George- wn—Capt. Boyd and Lieuts. Drew, Burch and McGraw—with five ser- geants, four corporals, one musician and 52 privates, arrived at the War Depart- ment early this forenoon and reported for service. They were accepted and sworn in. ‘The Jackson Guards, Company A— Capt. McDermott, Lieuts. Tucker, Duffy and O'Donnell and Quartermaster J. O'Mera—with five sergeants, four cor- porals, two musicians and 80 privates, reached the department a little after 12 o'clock today and tendered their services to the Federal Government. This company is composed almost, if not entirely, of men who have always been opposed to the politics of the present administration. They say they desire it to be “known to the world that they are unconditional Union men.” The Slemmer Guards—Capt. Knight —came to the department at 12:30 o'clock today and were sworn in. At the same time nine recruits arrived for the Henderson Guards—Capt. Foxwell's command—and took the oath. Capt. Balbach's company, the Wash- ington Rifles, has grown so rapidly in numbers since the war news spread that it has been determined to form a second company. Company E, National Guard Bat- talion—Capt. Morgan—turned out so numerously at the War Department yesterday that the surplus over 100 privates, when they ascertained that the Government would not accept more than that number in any one company, decided to form another company. They expect to have a full complement of men in a day or two. ‘The total number of men who turned ;7;1: with Company E yesterday was ‘The Union Volunteers are drumming up recruits and expect to have a full company by tomorrow.

Many persons use doilies and run- ners on their dining-room tables—to save the tablecloths—and others use heavy hushers, asbestos pads and table- cloths in order to save the surface of the dining table. ‘There is something amusing about the situation. Pray, why treasure the surface of the table so, if it is never going to be seen? Yet if you use a fine table every day unprotected by pads and hushers the surface soon becomes marred and stained. While the creze for doilies and run- ners was at its height housewives prob- ably exaggerated the amount of time saved in this way. As a matter of fact the bare table plus runners and doilies probably takes just as much time as the table covered with husher and cldth. If you leave the setting of the dining table entirely to a maid you probably have found that better results are ob- tained with the old-fashioned cloth. Few persons know how to care for a bare table properly. It should be cleaned after each using, of course, yet you should be careful not to_wash it as yeu would a kitchen table. It should be “occasionally ofled to preserve the finish of the wood, and yet the oil should be used ever so sparingly and well rubbed in so that not a suspicion of it will remain, for it is certainly not pleasant to eat from a bare table that still shows vestiges of furniture oil. No table is probably worth the amount of concern that some house- wives bestow upon their dining room tables. It is foolish to use as a dining table a precious heirloom, When you should be placed beneath the places where hot platters and Vegetables dishes will be placed—that is if you serve dinner from dishes placed on the table. There is no need for asbestos pads under the dinner plates, for plates should never be warmed to such a de- gree that they will need more than the husher between them and the surface of the table. If doilies are used then you should have asbestos pads to fit under the dollies used beneath the plat- ers, etc. skin is the worse for it.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. ‘His excellency, his Britannic Majesty’s Ambassador to the United States, the Right Hon.

Bir Esme Howard €= Jet this be known . shortly after his arrival in Wash- ington. “Once I spent three days fishing on the Braulen— the finest salmon € stream in all Scot- land,” said the new Ambassador. “And mine was the smallest fish ever caught.” “Golf?—I play, but I never keep score. I am fond of tennis. I like to shoot, but I have had little oppor- tunity.” . An engaging person is King George's new representative in Washington, Sir Ronald is a big man—stands 6 feet 4 inches high and weighs 225 pounds. His bearing is military. Seldom does he laugh, his wit being of the dis- tinctly dry varlety. He wears his gray- ing halr clipped short and his mus- tache is sandy. His face is lined and ig. As he talks he smokes cigarettes in a black holder. His Skye terrier, with its gray, silky hair, is likely to be close by. Sir Ronald is no stranger to Wash- ington. He was here 25 years ago as secretary of the British embassy under Lord Bryce and later as counselor. He feels that he knows America and Amer- icans sufficiently well to discharge his duties, He even remembers the “herdics” which were so popular in the Capital a ! third cup sugar, one-quarter teas quarter of & century ago. “Herdics” were the little, round cabs, so small that they could back up to the doonbefntu load a passenger. Sir Ronald explained that the name was derived from a man who operated a big livery stable in Washington at that time. ‘The Ambassador's first wife was an American—the daughter of the late Senator Donald J. Cameron of Penn- sylvania. The present Lady Lindsay is also an American—formerly Elizabeth Sherman Hoyt, daughter of Colgate Hoyt of New York. Sir Ronald is 52 years old, & Scot the fifth son of the twenty-sixth Earl of Crawford. He is a “career man” in the British foreign office and has no distinct party affiliations. He was once Ambassador to Turkey and again Ambassador at Berlin. He began his diplomatic career as secretary of the British embassy at St. Peters- burg when the czarist regime was in its splendor. He is an accomplished linguist, speak- ing, besides his own language, Persian, German and Russian. Sir Ronald has two homes in his na, tive land. One is at Fife, in Scotland. ‘The other is at Dorset, in England. ‘The cnvoy is making his home at one of Washington's exclusive hotels, pend- ing completion of the new British em- bassy far out on Massachusetts avenue, Sir Ronald’s headquarters are still in the old embassy on Connecticut avenue, Describing himself as not a teetotaler, Sir Ronald must yet make up his mind as to whether he will follow the ex- ample of Sir Esme and keep the Brit- ish embassy in Washington “dry.” @loried Rice.

And as eyes that do not feel fresh spoil the looks, here are some suggestions for quick tempo- rary relief. ‘The simplest treatment of all is the most effective—about 20 to 25 applica- tions of a small towel wrung out ef quite hot salt water, laid over the eyes and removed each time as soon as the heat cools. This relaxes muscles that have been strained, it brings up fresh blood, clears the eyes, rests, refreshes, stimulates. Have your hot water salty enough so it tastes salty; you'll need a handful of salt to & basin of water, perhaps. ‘Then rub some nourishing cold cream around the eyes. Spread it on and rub gently over each lid and around and under the eyes, using the third finger of each hand. And wipe off gently with a paper tissue, or an old soft bit of towel. Before doing this, you can use an eye cup with boric acid solution in it if you want, but I think the external treat- ment will do without this. Of course the eyes should be rested as much as possible. If you can’t lie down and close them, an least arrange your lights so the room is not too bright, and arrange your work so you do not at once strain your eyes. Do you know that a long country walk is good for tired eyes? Looking over long distances is ,restful, whereas looking across streets is often a strain. Mrs. C. D. E—It will take some time } to refine a skin that has a tendency to ' this way and that relieves the pores of the complexion. If your time is lim- ited, some days you may use the shower instead of drawing a full bath, and then follow with a brisk rub down with a coarse towel. After each time you cleanse your face close pores with very cold water or an ice rub. \ENJOY WEEK-ENDS BY EARLY RENTAL AT WILDWOOD Cottages, bungalows and apart- ments in wide variety of size and luxuriousness to suit every wish and wallet are available at Wildwood and Wildwood Crest.
