P.—“Many a vacationist has had his (not their) vacation ruined” is the required form, because “‘a vacation- ist” is singular and requires the singular pronoun “his.” We may say, “Many vacationists have had their vacations ruined.” Notice that with the plural *vacationists” we use the plural pro- moun “their.

Moreover by cutting and arrangin; the bolero in one way we have a d‘r!sg that is essentially youthful, while in other instances boleros are used to give flattering lines to dresses designed for the more mature woman. So if you are planning to make any new dresses or to renovate any old ones, "ddu not fail to make use of the bolero ea. The sketch shows a bolero made of georgette crepe or chiffon on a satin frock. It is finished with picot around the edges, and a little string belt of the same material is tied in two ends at the front of the frock. ‘The diagram shows how to cut the | pattern.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Baby, if born in the Fall months, probably will take his first official air- ing at about the fourth week. Babies born in the middle of the Winter may not be able to go out until they are 6 weeks old, depending upon the climate and their own gogd h'::lth. These dally airings, taken at a reg- ular time, are not a fad nor a method of showing off baby, but protect baby’s vitality and stimulate his health. Dur- ing the increasingly cold days of early Autumn the infant adjusts himself to the changes in temperature so that the cold days will not bother him. The baby who is kept in an even tempera- ture and protected from all changes clAtChes cold at the first sniff of chillier air. The first six months are important growing and developing ones for baby and during this time lack of sunshine may give rickets a foothold. No matter how good his food, baby must have sunshine, and if he is kept wrapped in blankets and never given an oppor- tunity for airings and sunshine, be will be a ready victim of this nutritional ailment. Widely opened windows through which sunshine is pouring, or & porch upon which baby's carriage can be wheeled and set in the direct sunlight, are two methods of providing baby with fresh air and sunlight without actually pacing up and down the sidewalks with him. We are inclined to believe, though, that this exercise in the open air has direct benefits for the mother, too, and shouldn’t be looked upon as such an arduous duty. Baby’s airing and mother’s shopping hours are often tied firmly together, so it is well to warn the mother that baby can't get his allotment of sun and air if he is wrapped to the eyes and wheeled about in the super-heated air of a shop. Likewise, his carriage should not be used as a carryall for packages, a warning not so far-fetched if one is to judge by the number of tiny babies one sees buried under loaves of bread, tins of coffee, packages of crackers and whatnot on their way home from the grocer’s. Veils are an abomination for the child of any age, and the practice of wrapping baby in blankets until only his eyes are visible is hardly conducive to his breathing anything fresher than his own breath. A carriage with an adjustable hood is the most comfortable means of taking the small baby for an airing. It should be of ample size, provided with good springs and well padded with a soft pillow to prevent the in- evitable jolts and jars. Baby can be dressed in hood and coat of sufficient warmth so that not more than two soft, woolen covers will be needed to keep him comfortable. Babies cannot sleep when so weighted by heavy covers that not a toe can wiggle. Remember this when the baby cries wildly out- doors, while the tired mother says to herself: “Why can’t he be good when I am_ martyr enough to wheel him around all afternoon Pole Flight Europe’s Hope. All Europe is taking an interest in the new scientific expedition to the Ant- arctic by the Norwegian dirigible Nor- vegia, for it may return to the Old world some of the honors of achieve- ment which lately have been won by Americans. The party will be composed entirely of scientists, who hope, by cir- cumnavigating the South Polar regions, to be able to add materially to the re- cent_discoveries by Comdr.

BY BETSY CALLISTER. N a world that tries hard to be mod- ern, that tries to throw off the shackles of the past, it is always interesting to note the details of other days that persist. Usually, there are some persistent details most suggestive of just the pe- riods and type of life of the past we | most want to forget. | So perhaps it is not specially strange that one of the popular reminders of the past that we favor today is patch- work or piecework quilts. You know the difference? ‘The patchwork quilt is that which has the design cvt out from contrasting material and applied. | material seamed together into a design. ‘The plecework quilt just at the mo- ment is enjoying & great vogue.

They buy new mate- rial to make them from, not content- ing themselves with using up “scraps” of the dresses they e. They choose the material to carry out the color schemes of their bed rooms, and get most attractive results by choosing in- teresting and unusual materials. Some women work out original so- called modernistic designs in their quilts. Others follow the old-estab- lished designs. Either way the result is interesting, The old designs, many of them very old, have histories that are worth while learning about. Often you yourself have fallen heir to a worn old quiit that you might like to copy— or somebody you know has such a quilt. Then the old design certainly sounds more interesting, more worth while, than one that is new. Of course, the type of room your quilt is to grace has much to do with the design you choose. After the quilt is pleced, you may quilt it yourself or you can find some- body to quilt it for you. I know that in many communities aid socleties of churches do this quilting to help raise the money they need. They do it nicely and don't cvercharge. 8o if you don't know how or haven't the time to do the quilting, by all means turn it over to somebody else. - IRy N It's a Wonderful Fldur—this Plain i power. uniformly.

My Neighbor Say When rendering fats for cook- ing purposes, chop the fat fine, place it in a double boiler and add plenty of cold water. Keep the water in double boller boiling until the fat is melted. If you have not a double boiler, put the fat in a jar and place the jar in hot water. Old pillow cases make excellent covers to protect gowns. Cut a hole in the center of stitched end of pillow case large enough to slip through the hanger on which gown will hang. Oxalic acid (poison) if used to remove iron rust on linens must be neutralized to prevent making holes in the material. It may be neutralized by mixing with a weak solution of ammonia water. Ammonia will remove iodine stains. A brilliant luster can be given to mahogany furniture if it is wiped over with a cloth wrung out of cold water and rubbed to a high polish with a dry cloth. ‘The rubbing should be continued till the polish comes back to the wood and you will be delighted with the results. If you wish to make tender, crisp ‘pastry, remember a great deal depends upon the amount of cold air that is inclosed in the pastry. If the dough is too moist, very little air will be inclosed. If any quantity of flour is used when rolling out dough, the pro- portion of fat to flour will be wrong and pie crust will be tough. | FEATURES. HOME IN G BY SARA A living room without an easy chair does not spell “welcome” to any one in the family or to the casual guest: for no matter how small a time is spent in this room it should be as comfortable as possible. A comfortable sofa may be thought by some furnishers to fulfill the idea of comfort in a living room, but this soon becomes as popular as a raft to the shipwrecked, and no matter how beautiful the room may be, if it does not have comfort as its first idea in furnishing, it misses the mark of suc- cess.

A chair of this t{pe is so conservative as to make itself agreeable to almost any scheme of furnishing, and in any | part of the room it brings a homelike and hospitable air.
