WOMA N°*S-“PAGE THE EVE S TAR, WASHINGTON Advanced Resort Clothes BY MARY ‘Winter has, of course, not yet begun; most women have only just assembled their Winter wardrobes, and some ‘women are still looking forward to buy- ing s Winter coat. And yet it is time to talk about clothes for Palm Beach and other Southern resorts for the benefit of those fortunate few who can sontrive to take a holiday after Christ- 010 Anvrasi LnRTD ant . mas, or others who are interested in what the fortunate few are going to wear. ‘Whether you are directly interested in these advanced resort things or not, you will, I hope, be interested in the little vestee and scarf set shown in the sketch, because it contains an idea that may be applied to your Win- ter wardrobe. The set is made of heavy white crepe silk and the trim- ming is achieved by means of strips of pastel toned silk creps interiaced at the ends, and stitched into place. For the home dressmaker it would be much simpler to use ribbon than silk and ribbon would be just as effective. A useful set at the present time might be made from light-weight wool- en matevial—jersey or wool crepe— trimmed with colored ribbon. cold days or to wear under the coat The | sleeveless jacket would make a con- | venient little wrap to wear indoors on | MARSHALL. | The matching scarf would further help to keep Jack Frost away. One ingenious young college girl who saw this set has copied it in pure white wool crepe trimmed with pastel-toned ribbon—corn color, mauve, light blue and light rose. She will wear it under | her white bunny evening wrap to give | the warmth that she will surely need | when Winter comes in earnest. (Copyright, 1930.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Some of the well known and glibly re- peated “rules” about children often lead to misunderstanding. The supposed rule that a baby doubles his birth weight at five months and triples it at one year is really applicable only to the average baby who weighs about seven pounds at birth. Thus the “rule” ap- | plies with these babies who make the normal weekly gain, but it does not| apply to babies who weigh much above | or below seven pounds at birth. Regardless of his birth weight, there is 10 Teason to expect that the baby will make much more than the average week- ly gain, His average gain will be from seven fo eight pounds the first five months. In the case of the seven- pound baby this brings him to 14 pounds or twice his birth weight. It | brings the baby who weighs 10 pounds | at birth to a weight of 17 or 18 pounds, | and does not double his birth weight. | The next seven months he will gain from seven to seven and one-half | pounds, bringing the seven-pound baby | to twenty-one pounds and our ten-| pound baby to twenty-five and one-half pounds Does this ahswer your question clearly, Mrs. H. W.2 For your benefit I am appending below a picture of the usual 13-month-old child. This is discussed | also in our leaflet, “Mental and Phys | cal Development from Birth to One| | Year,” which may be secured by any i { terested reader for the usual self-ad- | dressed, stamped envelope sent with your request to the “Your Baby and Mine" department of this newspaper. | | The 13-month-old baby should be at | & very definite stage of development. | He has dropp:d all the habits of the first year and 1s practicing all the new ones | of the second year. He is certainly | creeping, and probably walking if his | mother has been wise enough to put him on the floor. . He does not learn this by | | being strapped all day in a high chair or a walking contrivance, but by plac- | ing him in a playpen and giving him the | opportunity to learn balance by his efforts to walk about the inclosure. He will say at least five words. He | will have six tecth. He will be feeding | himself with a spoon and drinking all | of his milk from a cup. If he is not doing these things, it is a sad indictment of his mothz:'s modernity. Any mother who will stop and think about it, cannot fail to realizo that babies have to learn new habits in order to progress both physically and mentally. The child from 10 months on is capable of mas- tering the habits of cup drinking and | self-feeding if given a chance to practise THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Sports Frock.

Stumpy filled his lungs with air and followed. They came out of the ! docrway in the mud on the bottom of the Smiling Pool end Jerry led the way upward. Stumpy had a queer feel- ing. He had that very morning come up in this way and had bumped his nose against the fce which had formed in the night, the first ice he had ever seen or felt. He had had hard work | to hold his breath long enough to get | back into the hcuse where there was fresh air. Was his fath-r going to make the same mistake? It lookd that way. But Jerry did not swim cicar to the top. Just & little below this he straight- out and headd for the bank. Stumpy followed, although he really | was afraid to. He couldn’t believe that bank and back again without fresh air | and where could they get this if they | couldn't push their noses out of water? He was tempted to turn back. Yes, sir, he was so. However, common sense vhispered that his father must know what he was about. So Stumpy kept-on. Under the edge of the bank Jerry Muskrat gently pushed his nose up. Stumpy did the same. To his surprise, he found there was a little air space there and he could fill his lungs with here_again, | D. 'RIDAY, DECE By Thornton W. Burgess. fresh cold air. There was plenty of it. The ¥00f of ice kept him from putting his nose up in the outer air, but there | under the edge of the bank the water | didn't _quite touch the jce and there was air enough for a Muskrat or several, | for that matter. Then Jerry led the way to the bank on the other side and there it was the same way. After this Jerry dived and gug up a root and with this swam back 'to the house.

According to Shakespeare, “Conscience doth make cowards of us all.” What he probably mearnt was that fears are the psychological progeny of wisdom To know is to fear.
