Much of the advice that, in the main, is sound and sensible works out disastrously for baby if followed by the young and “green” mother. One of the commonest bits is, “Don't spoil | e baby.” r'gpAn excellent slogan that, but it can't e stretched to cover all the situations | which arise and which cause baby to cry and his young mother to say posi- | tively, “Now he's perfectly comfortable |and I'm not going to spoil him.” | It is easy enough to accustom a | baby to being rocked, so that he con- stantly demands this unnatural stimu- | lant before he will close-an eye. The | mother can avoid such spoiling by | never beginning. The baby who has never been rocked does not scream for hours for this attention. Years later mothers burn with shame at the suffering to which they sub- | jected their babies because they were so fearful of spoiling them. I have a blot on my own escutcheon which causes me to speak with feeling. I belonged to the school that said, “Don’t | handle the baby; if he's comfortable and | dry just let himalone.” But who is really able to say that baby is comfortable when he is shrieking himself hoarse? ‘This excellent advice may lead the young mother to allow a baby to learn the habit of crying, because if he keeps it up long enough some one is sure to do_something about it., In my own case my young hopeful aroused the echoes from 3 to 6 She had been fed.

It never dawned upon me that that 3 o'clock meal might not have been the satisfying repast 1 was sure it was. As a last resort I timidly offered a bottle and the magic was wrought. And she wasn't a bit spoiled. She didn't want water, handling, a ride in her carriage or change of position. She wanted more to eat, poor dear. After she got it, butter wouldn’t have meited in her mouth. Food doesn’t always work the miracle. No one thing ever does. Babies can be as miserable from being fed every time they utter a peep as they can be from an empty stomach. But there isn’t much excuse to call youhg babies spoiled and attribute all of their crying to that. Neither is there much excuse for trying out rigid disciplinary .meas- ures on them.

The way to make a sorrow last Is constant thinking of the past. —Mother West Wind. Egret the White Heron was making | his first visit to the Smiling Pool. He had told Peter Rabbit and Jerry Musk- ‘rat that this was his first visit to the North, but that once upon a time, so he had heard, his family used to come North regularly. That sounded to Peter Rabbit like a story, and you know Peter dearly loves stories. “If you please,” said Peter, “why did | Jour family give up coming North?” Egret looked very serious. His eyes *IF YOU PLEASE" SAID PETER, “WHY DID YOUR FAMILY GIVE UP COMING NORTH?" became rather sad looking. “Do you ever see any of those two-legged crea- tures called Men?” he asked. “Of course,” said Peter. f course,” said Jerry Muskrat. “Then you have seen the reason that my family gave up coming North,” ex- | plained Egret. “You mean that those two-legged creatures hunted the members of your family with terrible guns, don't you?” said Peter. Egret nodded. “That's it,” said he. “Did they hunt the Egrets to eat?” eontinued Peter. This time Egret shook his head. “No,” said he, “not that I know of. ‘They hunted us for something else. Do you see these fine feathers on my back?” Both Peter and Jerry nodded. “We were talking about them,” said Jerry. “Never have we seen any feathers like “They are beautiful” said Egret, “but they very nearly put an end to my family. Yes sir; they very nearly put an end to my family. When 1 of it, it 15 a wonder to me that a single Egret is alive now. It was for their beautiful feathers that the Egrets were hunted by those two-legged crea- tures with terrible guns. They wanted our beautiful feathers. Those were ter- rible times, terrible times! They were before my day, but I've been told about them and I can’t bear to think of them. When I think of the thousands and #housands of young Egrets that starved @0 death in their nests it is a wonder ® me that a single Egret is alive today.” Peter Rabbit looked at Jerry Muskrat, and Jerry looked at Peter, and in the eyes of both was a puzzled expression. “What made them starve to death?” said Peter after a while. “The two-legged creatures with terri- ble guns that wanted the feathers of the fathers and mothers,” expiained Egret. “You see, it is only in the nest- ing season that we have these beaut!ful feathers, which are called plumes. So the hunters would wait until the nest- season. ‘Then they would seek out nests and shoot the old birds as = ! they brought food to their young. Then, of course, the young would starve to death. Oh, it was terrible, terrible! So the Egrets stopped coming North be- cause there were only a few of them left. They sought out the most difficult places in the Far South wherein to build their homes. But even there the feather hunters followed them. Finally, when there were only a few left, the hunters stopped coming.” Of course, Egret didn’t know it, but | the reason the hunting stopped was because thase who loved the birds secured the passage of a law protecting the Herons and forbidding the wearing of their wonderful plumes. It was true, as Egret had said, that only & few of his family were left—so few, indeed, that for a time it was feared that there would soon be no more Egrets left. THE SCAPEGOA The good old patient weather gets swatted on the nose; we all stand up together and blame it for our woes. “A punk east wind blowing,” som? ancient gaffer sighs; nd so the tears are flowing in streams from both my eyes. The east wind's surely hurtful, it gets me, neck and knees, and I possess a shirt full of painful maladies. When other winds are whistling I'm like a three-year-old; I'm full of vim and bristling, my step is free and bold. But now the east wind's whining across the dismal plains, and all my inner lining is shot with aches and > I hear my friends complaining, they call for the police; whenever it is rain- ing their agonies increase. They have rheumatic twinges and every form of ache in all their bones and hinges, and 8o their tempers break. “We're feeling gay and festive when sunshine is on deck, but Pluvius gets restive and makes our lives a wreck.” So they denounce the weather, that foe of all the race, and call, from throats of leather, for | sunshine every place. The scheme is | truly splendid; it soothes the soul's | despair, and no one is offended—the weather doesn't care. The weather does its knitting, indifferent, serene, and cares not for the twitting of those who think it mean. Though ugly things be spoken, dour things designed to smart, no tender heart is broken—the weather has no heart. Perhaps some fellow’s ailing because his diet’s wrong; if good sense were prevailing he might be well and strong. And he should cuss his folly, which seems to be a shame; but cries, in melancholy, “The weather is to blame.” WALT MASON.

NANCY PAGE Martha Buys New Clothes in Women’s Mecca—Paris. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Martha was one of Nancy's regular correspondents these days. In every letter was a sketch or two of clothes seen in Paris. Nancy studied them avidiy. She was quite impressed with a Sunday evening outfit which Martha said she had just purchased. The skirt and the small bolero were 7 Z Z NN A Z = = ann N DI A o W Z of black broadcloth. White satin lined the bolero. The skirt was flared and of even length. It had a yoke effect which gave the new silhouette. But the fascinating newness was in the blouse. It was of white satin. The neckline was quite high and fitted closely because of the yoke. The sleeves were exceedingly full, smocked at the top and gathered into a narrow cuff at the hand. Martha said that she felt quite dramatic when she wore this frock ;’e’d Nancy could see this might easily 50, ZZ Another sketch in the same Iletter gave Nancy an idea of a new coat which Martha had just purchased. It was of brown soft tweed. The coat was beau- tifully tailored, plain and simple in the extreme. It was made large enough so that Martha could wear it over a suit, Attached to the coat was the tiny cape which Martha explained was held there by two small buttons under the collar. The cape was detachable. This made the coat almost a two-purposed one, but in either event, Nancy was sure the effect was extremely smart. Martha for picking out that kind. Clothes like these call for trim figures.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX JDEAR MISS DIX—Our club is going to discuss the following topics in which 1 we girls are much interested. Can you help us out with the M;;‘E;.rfi;l Answer: Here are Helen's questions: Q. How can a girl be popular? ‘ A. She must make herself as attractive looking as she can by being immaculately neat and well-groomed and by wearing clothes that bring out her good points. She must be amiable, good-natured and a good sport, who is willing to share her good times and her dates with other girls. She must read and be able to talk intelligently. She must show interest in other people. No other one thing is such a short cut to popularity as unselfishness. Q. Why are some girls more popular than others? A. Some girls have more “it” than others. They have more personality, more charm. They have what are called winning ways. e Q. Why do some boys fall for the flashy girl and some girls for the speedy ellow? A. It is a matter of taste. Some people admire the sunflower, others the rose, There is the attraction of opposites and, curiously enough, quiet, timid boys often like bold girls who do the talking, ile demure, modest little girls are fascinated by men whom they think romant: Q. How old should a girl be to have dates? A. Not less than 16. Q. How late should a girl stay out? A. Depends on her age and whether she has gone to a party or not. Many dances do not start until so late that a girl cannot be a Cinderella and be home when the clock strikes 12, but it is certainly wrong for a girl to stay out until 2 or 3 p'clock in the morning without some special reason for doing so. It is bad for her health and bad for her good name. Q. How can a girl get dates with boys she likes? A. The only way a girl can get attentions from men is by making herself attractive to them. She can't force them into coming to see her unless they want to, and she makes herself cheap and common if she is always telephoning them and asking them to call or suggesting that they take her to places. Q. Should a girl have dates against her parents’ wishes? A. Ordinarily, no. But if the parents are unreasonable and absolutely re- fuse to let nice boys come to see her or take her out she can’t be expected to sit at home and suck her thumb while her youth vanishes. But father and mother generally know best and a girl should be guided to a great extent by their advice. Q. Do boys like & girl who calls them up for dates? A. No. They hate her. They call her a telephone hound and avoid her as they would a bill collector. Q. How can we keep our own respect and that of the boy we date with? A. Be modest. Be dignified. Behave like ladies. Don't pet and neck lnd‘ park in automobiles. Q. How-old should a girl be to have a steady? A. At least 90, unless she is engaged to him. Never narrow down your chances to one man or let one man monopolize you until he has popped the question and the wedding day is named. ¥ Q. Is it better to go steady with one boy or with several different ones? A. Have as many strings tb your bow as possible. Look them all over before you make your choice. The more beaux you have before marriage, the better you will be satisfied with your husband aftet marriage. Q. Should steadies date out on each other? 2 A. Surely. They are not engaged. They have no claim whatever on each other, Q. How can we know whether a boy really cares for us or not? A. You can't positively. You have to take a boy's word for it, and that isn't always reliable. You can best judge whether a boy loves you or not by the way he treats you. If he shows that he enjoys your soclety: if he is always looking t | for ways of making you happy: if he is unselfish and puts your wishes above his own, it is pretty good evidence that he loves you. Q. Why is jealousy such a problem? A. Because it will wreck any marriage In the world and because it is a form of insanity. You cannot reason with it, and nothing that you can do will prevent a jealous person from being suspicious of your every act. ey Q.,If boys and girls have the right understanding about dating will they be ealous? A. Yes, if they lack common sense and are green-eyed. Q. How can we know that we have chosen the right one? A. You won't know that until you have been married for 10 years. There is no g:nlble way to tell beforehand whether any man or woman will make a good husband or wife. ROTHY DIX. MODEST MAIDENS “WOODMAN, SPARE THAT TREE!" & Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. July 12, 1861.—Senator Andrew John- son of Tennessee was serenaded here tonight by a large assemblage of Mis- souri citizens who are now in Washing- ton. They procured the services of Dodsworth's Band and were accompa- nied by the 7ist New York Volunteer Regiment. Speeches were addressed to Senator Johnson, lauding his efforts to support the Union in Tennessee and pledging him the “esteem and support of every Missourian.” | After responding with a few words to those who came into his residence, Senator Johnson stepped out upon the | porch and addressed the crowd in the street. He said the circumstances made it impossible for him to reply as he would like or act as his judgment prompted in his home State, since “in Tennessee, as in most of the seceded States, a reign of terror has been got- ten up.” “In the South or Southwest,” he| added, “to be a Union man is to risk the loss of life, property and all that is dear to man.” Senator Johnson told how Tennessee has raised troops to aid the Southern Confederacy, but he insisted that the majority of the people there were not anti-Union and declared that “if the privilege of free speech had been al- lowed in Tennessee she would still be in the Union.” He expressed the opin- lon that “the time will come when the Stars and Stripes will be unfurled from every court house and cross-roads in the State.” As a Soufthern Democrat who stands for the Union, Senator Johnson briefly reviewed the course of his party, and particularry of the Democratic organi- zation in the South. He declared that the Southern Democrats had made “the election of President Lincoln an excuse for breaking up the Government.” The Democrats, he declared, had a major- ity in Congress anc Mr. Lincoln “could not have appointed his cabinet, a for- eign Minister or consul, or even drawn his salary, without their consent.” Senator Johnson said he favored any plan that would restore peace and har- mony to the Nation, but he doubted that peace could be restored without resorting to armed force now. He said the present war was not “a war of North or South, but for the Union.” He urged his audience to stand by the flag “until its authority is again recog- nized all over the land.” THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE A sleckly flattering street frock of printed crepe silk that will prove its economy by mecting so many daytime | requirements. A clever idea is the manner in which the hip yoke merges into panel at the back which gives lengthened line. The circular fullness of the godets at either side of the back and the front skirt is low placed. Horizontal tucks at front hipline minimize the width. The bodice with collarless bow-trim- med neckline affects a bolero. Style No. 572 comes in sizes 16, 18, 20 years, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 inches bust. - Flat silk crepe in Paquin red, sap- phire blue crepe marocain, flowered chiffon in yellow and brown coloring and beige lace are attractive selections for this smart model. For a pattern of this style, send 15 cents in stamps or coin directly tc The Washington Star’s New York Fash- lon Bureau, Fifth avenue aad Twenty- ninth street, New York.

Much of his wit scored heavily because it was | breath-taking. { It was the fastidiousness of his dress- | ing tl attracted the Prince of Wales, | afterward George IV, to him. But his | impudent tongue caused him to become | a fad.

Dear Miss Leeds=—I am wondering if you could help me with my trouble. .10 I'm a young lady of 23 and have an awful lot of dandruff and my hair is so ofly and so thin. Could you tell me what to do and whether there is a good | tonic for this kind of hair?>—TROU- BLED. Answer—A good recipe for oily hair and dandruff is made of one dram quinine bisulphate, one dram tincture | cantharides, two ounces alcohol and enough bay rum to make 10 ounces. Apply to scalp and massage thoroughly | for 10 minutes. This lotion may be applied every other day. When hair is in such a condition as yours, it is often an indication that one's general health is not up to par. So_the first step is to build that up.

Dear Miss Leeds—I am greatly trou bled with perspiration in the arm pit- What can I do to overcome this? (2) Also my complexion has terrible pim- ples What can I do to get rid of these?—JUNE. Answer—(1) Wash the arm pits well with soap and water both night and morning, and after drying thoroughly sponge them with a lotion made of two ounces of witch hazel and one table- spoonful of bicarbonate of soda. Bath- | ing the armpits in salt-water solution | is also helpful in overcoming excessive | perspiration. Two or three times a| week a lotion made purposely to check perspiration may be applied. There | are several reliable products of this type | on the market, or you may mix one- half ounce of formaldehyde with one pint of water and apply it to the arm- Who Shall Prescribe? An emergency is a sudden unexpected occurrence and for that reason it is more or less alarming. Be it the col- lapse of some one in a crowd, from cerebral hemorrhage, diabetic coma or angina pectoris, or the collapse of a building, or a riot, or an outbreak of war, or a terrible earthquake, or flood, or famine, or plague, there is inevitably | a ery for the doctor. When you say | doctor under such circumstances you mean doctor. There is only one kind | of doctor you mean then. But now look on the comical side of the situation. A sudden commotion. | “Is there a doctor present?” Why, of | course. There are a dozen or two present, to wit, three or four chiro- practors, a school teacher who has the soundest legal right to his degree of Ph. D, several optometrists, a chirop- odist, a few dentists, the local veterinary and a sharp fellow who has just lately “come by" the degree of LL. D. and | now always appends it to his name when writing stuff about food and health. Try to imagine these “doctors” hurrying to the aid of the victim of angina pectoris or diabetic coma. Or, better, try to conceive hundreds and thousands of such “doctors” answering the call of the country in time of war. | It is all very well of course to address a Ph. D, a D. D, an LL. D, or any| other individual with an academic doc- torate degree as “Doctor.” It is all| wrong to let Tom, Dick and Harry pose as “Doctor” for business pu es. It leads to much needless confusion and sometimes to disaster. The use of the title as a trade symbol or badge ought to be restricted to honest-to- goodness physicians, for the welfare of the public. Some time ago I appealed to the dentists—who certainly have every legal right to the title of doctor—to show a good example to all the other near- doctors by voluntarily relinquishing the trade use *of the title.

" As a guest, Brummell was apt to do the most bizarre things. At a dinner party he helped himself to the wing of a roasted capon stuffed with truf- fles. Tasting it, he decided it was tough, and taking it up in his napkin he called to a dog, “Here, Atons! try if you can get your teeth through this, for I'll be damned if I can!” At another party he asked: “Who is that ugly man standing by the chimney plece?” “Why, surely you know—he is the master of the house!” “How should I know?” said Brum- mell, “T was never invited!" A fellow diner asked him why he had broken off his engagement to a cer- tain_young lady. “What could I do, my dear fellow,” he retorted, “but cut the connection?
