WOMAN’S PAGE." in Two Sizes for Aprons . BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. TWO DIFFERENT WAYS OF USIFG ONE DESIGN FOR SMART SILK APRONS ORNAMENTED WITH EMBROIDERY. Aprons that are dark. and incon- spicuous when worn with woolen frocks or_which are developed in colors to match dresses are marked with a cer- tain note of novelty. These aprons are just the things to don when preparing the evening meal or when it is neces- sary to wear an apron after the morn- ing dress has been changed for the afternoon gown. It is rumored that dame fashion shows signs of restoring the once smart black silk apron, popular when black was the color above all others that was in vogue fox silk frocks, and the aprons matched the gowns. Today silk aprons to thatch silk dresses are smart. If a . woman makes her own silk frocks she can have such an ensemble very easily by using a piece of the.goods for the apron. If the: gown is bought ready :}g‘le the color will probably not be icult to match if done at once, as one season are generally found 10 the. same tints and tones in | gowns and yard goods. * Embroidered aprons can be handsome, especially the silk apron with designs ht in colored stitchery. A soft texture taffeta apron in black, dark $ue,“gieen, brown or one of the pre- wvailing hues of the year emboridered in gay colors makes a Christmas gift that ‘would be welcomed by any home maker.

Problems of older children who are in school are always so complicated that one hesitates to make suggestions for treatment of them.

A. is worried about the inexplicable conduct of her 6-year-old child since starting to school. She writes: “On school mornings she doen't seem to be able to eat her breakfast and often vomits. The nurse at school examined her and can see no reason for this condition. She is in good health as to vision, hearing and tonsils; her lungs and teeth are perfect. She eats her lunch.and dinner with a good appetite and is elated over the day’s happenings. I have told her that if she does not eat her breakfast she cannot go to school and she begs me not to keep her home. “Her teacher says she is very sweet in school and a willing worker. But I don't like these morning battles over breakfast. Perhaps I am at fault be- cause against my ter judgment I have punished her for what I call her ‘silliness,’ and now I am beginning to think it is nervousnes:. “She used to vomit a great deal two her to a doctor and he told me it was extreme nervousness. Fortunately, she got over it and has been splendid for a year. Now I know I am at fault.” Per] some small changes could be m: in the whole day’s routine to end the nervousness, which is probably the cause of the vomiting. I would get her up at least 15 minutes sooner than you have been so that she has plenty of time for breakfast. Give her a glass of orange juice on rising and serve her breakfast as attractively as possible. Give small portions in differ- ent dishes so that they have a new and special appeal, two or three table- spoonsful of cooked cereal. top milk, two slices of thin, crisp, buttered toast and a cup of hot cocoa. Don't mention her failure to eat even though she doesn’t make much headway with the food. Say “Now that was a nice break- fast and you'll eat more tomorrow.” Never mention her failures and make the most of her successes. Give her a half hour rest period right after school and another just before dinner. This will help in her general condition. If she does vomit, don't fuss at all, for that only increases her nervousness. Your own emotional atti- tude and her endeavor to please you in order to not miss school are putting her in just the mervous condition that makes it impessible for her to enjoy her breakfast. See that she is in bed at 7:30 or 8 -every night. Baked Oysters. Wash and drain one pint of oysters by laying them on a soft cloth. Put five or six oysters on their shells, sea- son with salt and a dash of red pepper, and sprikle on top butter cut into small bits. Break one small can of lobster into small pieces, and with them cover the oysters. Place in a hot over and cook for 15 minutes, or until the oysters are thoroughly heated. Decorate with parsley and serve at once. Suitable for luncheon or supper. Serve with caviar sandwiches. My Neighbor Says: Never economize when buying mattresses. A really good hair mattress will last a lifetime, can be cleaned “as good as new"” over and over again and will be far more comfortable and whole- some to sleep on than one filled with cheap mixed material. Blankets also should be as good as you can possibly afford, as the cheaper kinds. being a mixture of cotton and wool, are far heavier than those made entirely of wool, and the great essential of bed clothing is that it should combine lightness in weight with warmth. ‘To destroy the odor of smoke put a basin of water in the room, leave it overnight and keep the window slightly open.

But there's only one remedy a mother should ever use to comfort an ailing child in any of these conditions. Castoria! This pure old-fashioned remedy most mothers have learned to depend on, comforts a child like nothing else. It has an important place in five million modern homes where mothers keep it always on hand, so they will be ready to render first aid when a child is ailing. Watch your child’s tongue; when it is coated, or whenever the breath is tainted, let this pure vegetable preparation come to the aid of that sour stomach or clogged bowels. The beauty of Castoria is that it can be given as of ten as needed. It contains no harm- ful ingredientst The recipe on the wrapper tells you how mild and bland it is. It is a children’s remedy, made especially for the children. Ideal for infants—yet effective in “larger doses for a child in his teens. Genuine Fletcher's Castoria always bears 1&: signature of Chas.
