WOMAN'’S PAGE. Demand for Evening Dresses BY MARY One of the most interesting develop- mments in popular fashions in this coun- !r'y‘ lflm t.h‘en wn:’ is th; k}crnud and ever-increasing demand for evenin; dresses. Women in moderate c|rcum! stances who would once have gone to the theater or to informal evening par- ties in an afternoon dress, or who would have gone to dine with friends in an attractive daytime dress, now wear an evening dress as a matter of course. And the woman who could once get along with one evening dress a season now needs three or four, while many ‘women find it necessary to have more new dresses for evening than for day- time wear. Very often it is possible to make a last season's evening dress do for an- other season simply by adding some new touch to give it an up-to-date ap- pearance. The sketch shows an rangement of fine lace as it was used by one of the smart dressmakers—and @s it may be used by any clever woman Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

The rearing of an infant today seems to call for the combined knowledge of a chem- ist, a Psycholoxlst and a public officer of 'health. That's good. T couldn’t put it better myself, unless I might add a trained nurse to the staff. Formerly a mathe- matician was essential for computing the percentages of protein, fat and car- bohydraté and the calories, but since vitamins come into general use we have practically given up logarithms in infant feeding. Then Dr. Hutchison raised his voice a bit to cover the grinding of teeth and the noicy nasal breathing in many parts of the hall, and went on: “As 80 many parents nowadays have all their !i‘l in one basket, or perhaps two baskets, they naturally tend to fuss over the basket to a morbid extent The doctor went on to relieve his chest of some pithy remarks about the amateur mother who gets a book on child psychology, and experiments on the tender mind of her infant. There is even a book on exercises for infants of 5 months, he declared. I have not seen this one, but I do not doubt it exists, or we shall soon have such a BRADY, M. D. book in America, now that Dr. Hutchi- ested it. ere the most amazing list of alleged health books imaginable, and most of them pick on the kids. No baby doctor can hope to achieve any distinc- tion in America until he has published at least one popular book about the care or feeding of kids. Dr. Hutchison, I am pleased to re- port, threw a large bucket of cold water on the so-called infant welfare stations run by public health departments. Aside from the fact that eeruln pefl- ple find these infant welfare or well baby clinics, as they are xnme- times called, a fine scheme whereby they manage to get free of cost certain medical services for which they could and should pay. I agree with Dr. Hutchison that there’ is nothing to show that such practice of medicine is justified. Taxpayers with the real welfare of the community at heart may well protest against supporting such ex- periments. Finally, blend my somewhat shrill tenor voice with Dr. Hutchison's fine baritone as he utters this counsel: “Do not worry too much about the health of your children. Give them happy homes, with the companionship of other children and pxemg of sxmple food; do not take too much notice of them, send them elrly to bed and leave the rest to chan WHEAT STATION SCMMNEIDE 5 DAK-DEE 4 27, 1930. Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDR Halloween. Halloween parties and Halloween pranks may easily be bracketed to- gether, so that fear of the latter is dispelled by the former. There was never a day like Halloween so sur- rounded by classic customs as to make its entertainment literally foolproof. A children’s party given on that day cap |h! hardly be anything but entertaining and successful. ‘This is just the kind of opportunity mothers should embrace to entertain their older chidren. With most of the entertainments these days decidedly outside the home, mothers should asp at chances to gather their children's friends under their own roofs and show them what good times are possible with '.Lc‘:.’ful and sympathetic parental super- vision. ‘The house mny be gay with Autumn coloring black 8pook: of paper pumpl S \\mv_'llw % Victor Coffee FEATURES, to_lend reality. Te apples to be bobbed for, or apples on strings, the winner achieving a solid | bite that spears the apple. Stairs may be walked down backward with a mir- ror held over the left shoulder, for supposedly at the bottom there will be the face of phantom sweetheart. Then there is that excruciating stunt in which the blindfolded victim is put on a rd, and the board raised slowly about an inch or more at one end. The sensation of going up to enormous heights is so keen that when told to jump, the poor victim takes a jump, much to the delight of his audience. Fortune telling by some adult with a sens® of humor and a knowledge of each child will convulse the listeners, | and there are fortune telling cards which may be used in a dimly lighted, curtained-off space to improve the imagination of an adult not accustomed to_such stunts, If the group is a small one, all the games should be played together; if it is a large’ one, it is better to put four or six persons at a table and play the different games progressively. At one table they may be engaged in putting | together a hu:e hllck paper cat ma! has been cut b] going finished or successfully accomplished it may be on to the next table.

Refreshments are the old favorites, apples, doughnuts and cider, or indi- vidual pumpkin ples, cider ‘and pop- corn. It is well to keep up the spirit of such holidays and enjoy their in- | dividual flavor before the children's lnppeme for simple pleasures are blunted by too much sophisticated aping of adult entertainments.
