This season, for- tunately, there are all sorts of acces- sories that may be added to our cos- tumes to add to their becomirgness or to lend variety to the wardrobe. The scarf collar shown in the sketch may be worn over any blouse or dress to shorten the back of the neck in a flat- tering manner and to add the longer lines at the front that most women need. To make it, you will ne=d a tri- angle of material. The two short sides of the triangle should be about 16 inches in length—the long side should be about 22 inches in length. If thin material is used it should be lined with silk crepe. Arrange the soarf at the back of the neck, like a small shaw], bringing the two acute angles around to the sides. To each of these two angles atiach a length of ribbon, about 14 or 15 inches, or make double strips of material about 15 inches long and an inch wide. The ribbon or strips are brought around to the front of the neck and tied in a bow. The collar may be attached to the dress at th> back or it may be used as a separate scarf. It is decidedly smart, made from one of the new plaid silks. OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL. Some little children do not eat prop- By properly 1 mean that they | fight against eating their meals. They never seem hungry. In order to get them to eat anything their mothers or nurses have to sit beside them and prod, coax and stuff and push the food down. Usually we say, “The child has_ac- | quired a bad habit. He likes to receive attention. The best thing to do with him is to clear the table and allow him | to go without food until the next meal, taking care that he gets nothing to eat between meals.” That settles most of the food fussers. A healthy child eats when he is hun- g The healthy child who is not fed | b:tween meals, who lives on schedule | and on a who.esome diet, Will eat his | meals as a matter of course. Should he | get into another habit because of illness | or change in the houschold routine— when his mother is away from home | perhaps—he Is soon brought to terms | by starving him out. | “The spoiled child will eat when he is | hungry. If his refusal to eat has been cultivated because he found that his refusal brought him pleasant expe- riences, the removal of the pleasant ex- periences will be sufficient, coupled with hunger, to_recondition him. If a child who has been exposed to the experience of hunger still refuses to eat, then it is time to take him to the specialist. There must be some rea- son for his difficulty. There is some deficiency somewhere in his physical being that makes eating distasteful, even uscless. The specialist alone can discover this. You must discover the specialist. A children’s specialist is usually as- | scciated with some good clinic, some good hospital, where children are ob- served and trea‘ed. The general prac- titioner is usually too busy to study the peculiarities of children. That is a specialist’s field.

Practically everybody realizes the im- portance of good-looking ‘hands with Worn, neglected hands will always make a woman seem older than she actually is. Don’t imagine, because you use your hands for household tasks, that it is impossible to keep them well grcomed and lovely to look at. With proper care, women who work inside or outside of the home can have beautiful hands. Thousands of women keep their | hands in perfect condition, in spite of using them for housework, and so can you with a little regular attention given to_them every day. Personally, I believe that it is neg- lect and not use that makes hands old- lcoking and unsightly. Because use gives hands individuality and character and makes them as expressive as the face. No beauty of long ago had love- | lier hands or could care for them as casily as the modern woman of today. If you wish to have beautiful hands you must give them the proper care, 2nd even toil-worn hands after years of neglect will respond if you will give them the treatment that they deserve. Try the following treatment for a month or so and notice the improve- ment.

Very infrequently some problem reaches my desk that enlists my sym- pathy, even though I am unable to of- fer any personal help. Along these lines are all problems having to do with ab- normal children or children handi- capped by mental backwardness. The following letter presents a problem for which I can offer no panacea but merely an expression of an opinion, solidified by experience. “Have you any leaflets on the in- struction of subnormal children, such instruction as a private teacher would give to a backward child?” asks Mrs. P. “The child cannot be sent to school but the parents do not want to send her to an institution as the case is not that serious. Still it is serious enough to make some mental training neces- sary. Are there teachers for such things, and are there books available on the subject? Is this work similar to that of a kindergarten teacher?” We have no leaflets dealing with any kind of instruction.that is the province of a school, but we do have a leaflet suggesting books on special subjects. Among these books there are several which ' the mother of a mentally re- tarded child might profitably read. A self-addressed, stamped envelope must accompany your request for this leaf- let. Send it to the “Your Baby and Mine” department of this newspaper. Private institutions, or schools de- signed to meet their peculiar needs give the very best care and training to these children. Unless psychiatrically irained the mother can neither meet the dclicate psychological problems which these children represent, nor can she give them the special training which they require. A child unable to attend school be- cause of mental retardation is a serious | case, and the mother does the child a real injustice by treating her as a nor- mal child, which she can never be, and thrusting her into competition with normal children or keeping her at home in isolation from all companionship. Both courses are open to eriticism. If they are in an environment peo- pled by children on their own level of intelligence, backward children can be trained and educated within limits, and made happy and contented. If their backwardness is due to a glandular de- ficlency, medical treatment can some- times do much to help develop and im- | prove them. This is especially true of | the type of child called a cretin, be- cause of a deficiency-of the thyroid g'and, but any child can be improved by the right kind of handling. While it is a supreme sacrifice for the mother to place her child in an institu- {tion or in a school for backward chil- | dren, for the child’s sake this sacrifice ‘should be made. In some large cities there are “mental” clinics to which mothers, who cannot afford to pay spe- cialists, can take their children for help and advice. From cases which I have noted I feel most strongly that these children need the special care | which can be given them only by! trained teachers and psychiatrists who | understand their limitations and their pessibilities.

BURGESS of the time he creeps around, just as you see him now “Then how,” demanded Mother Brown, “does he escape from all the enemies he must have? Farmer Brown's Boy didn't have to answer that question. Nimbleheels an- swered it himself. Yes, sir, he did so. He didn’t do it with words. Words were not necessary. He answered Mother Brown by showing her. You , by this time Nimbleheels had bccn‘?very much awake and suddenly realized that he was in a strange place and that he was afraid of these two great creatures watching him. He decided to get away from where he was and do it instantly. So without warning he shot into the air and landed half way across the kitchen. “My land!” exclaimed Mother Brown in startied astonishment. Before the words were out of her mouth Nimbleheels lJanded quite at the other side of the kitchen. In fact he bumped his nose against the wall before he landed. He hadn't looked to see where he was going. This frightened him still more and for the next few minutes he certainly did show off. He didn't try to show off. He was simply a frightened littleyMouse doing his best to get away. but j’st the same it was a great exhibiticn of jumping. It was as if a very strong spring was in those hind legs and sent him forward through the air in astonishingly long jumps. s forefeet were drawn up close to his breast and his long, slim tail was car- ried straight out behind. “Now you see hom he can_escape cried Farmer Brown's Boy. “Instead of running he jumps, and how! He doesn’t have those long hind legs for nothing, and that long tail balances him when he is in the air, He can't jump so well in here as he can out of doors because I guess his feet slip a little. I've seen him do 10 or 12 feet to a jump and that would mean Jjumping over 40 times his own length.” “I'll take your word for it,” replied Mother Brown rather drily, “but I don't want him jumping around my kitchen any longer.” A Mouse is a Mouse and I don’t like a Mouse of any kind. “All right,” chuckled Farmer Brown's Boy, for he knew taht Mother Brown's Every woman needs “COMPLEXION PROTECTION” Febmary's blus- tery days play havoc with com- plexion charm.
