WOMAN’S PAGE THE EVENING Remedy for Stains on Gowns BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Now that the season of hot weather is almost upon us, and wardrobes are in readiness for it, every woman hopes frocks will not be disfigured with per- spiration marks. It matters not how handsome a gown is, if these stains are is [RATION MARKS UNDER ARM DISFIGURE A FROCK. visible under the arms, at the bend of the elbow, across the shoulders, etc., the frock is then shorn of its original beauty.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. | To the mother whose baby has been smothered in weolens the moment when | these can be removed is always a ter- rifying one. Dare I take off his woolen | shirt and replace it with a cot.on one? When can I take off Sonny's union suit? | With a remembrance of my own child- | | hood and the cautious prohibitions not | to remove_the “long logs” until the Ist of May, I.can sympathize with the youngsters. Children are so active that they are twice as apt to take cold if dressed fcr Winter when scampering about in the hot days of early Spring, than if dressed in accordance with the temperature. It is very easy to slip on a sweater if the weather turns cool, but there is not much help for the child who runs and perspires and then sits down to cool off. ‘There should be some safe rule about | changing clothes that would remove the | responsibility from the shrinking shoul- | ders of the elders. There should be | something definite for parents to cling {to. But even dates are mnot definite | enough. The 1st of May, with the kit- | tenishness of a very young season, may | be quite as chilly as the 1st of March, so any rule to pull off the cold-weather undies on the 1st of May would be all wrong. But we have one solid comfort, the | thermometer. It does not lie. If it is | 70 degres outside, it is literally in the Summer weather zone, and children cannot be harmed by being shorn of their heavier clothes. Even 68, unless it be a damp 68 degrees, is not really cold. Many of us, dressed as for Summer, keep our homes between 68 and 70 with no feeling of discomfort. The active child, his blood circulating with the swiftness of youth and Spring and soft air, will find 68 degrees just right, neither warm nor cold. So if we pin our faith to the thermometer and strip | off woolen shirts from the baby and heavy union suits from the runabouts when the temperature is between 68 and 70 degrees we can be comfortably assured that nothing terrible is going to happen. As for Summer, as the temperature rises we ought to remove more and more clothes. It is with good reason that chil- dren plead for the privilege of going barefoooted. The delicious sensation of cool earth on shoeless toes, the health- ful stimulus of sun and air on feet which for months have been deprived of them has to be enjoyed to be appreciated. All children adore going barefooted. Allow this whenever possible, and sli] off the small child’s shoes when he is playing in the sand pile, where he can walk in the ylelding sand with no dan- ger of his feet being cut or hurt by harsh clumps of earth or sticks or stones. ‘The older child may wear sandals all | during the Summer, and afford his feet the opportunity for healthful air and sunshine. We have a leaflet on “How to Dress the Children in Summer,” which may clear up some puzzles in the mind of a mother who wants a definite list of | clothes.

In June the mating occurs. His bride often removes his fiddle; whether in a jealous rage or to keep him at| home I do not know. She goes about searching for soft earth wherein to lay her eggs. Making a shallow tunnel, she deposits them in several holes, covering them with earth before digging an- other. ~ Five hundred straw-colored cylindrical eggs are laid. In three weeks tiny flea-like insects, almost white, have dug their way through the covering earth and reached the sun- shine. My how they grow! The first skin is shed, then another becomes too small, until five coats have been don- ned. At this time the wing buds ap- pear, and the little white girdle which has appeared like a belt about his mid- dle also disappears. He becomes darker and darker in the sunshine. The field cricket, poorly fitted to dig, will patiently go about digging a_tun- nel to hide in for the Winter. Down straight he tunnels, and when the de- sired depth is reached hollows out a room to hide in as well as a place to turn about in. Backing out of one's house is dangerous, especially when | one's enemies are always lurking near. The tiger cricket is most clever; he stops the door to his home with his hard bronzed head. When an eatable insect steps upon that head it is quick- ly withdrawn and the poor unobservant one is dined upon. { The singing cricket of the hearth is | the one which the Spaniards, Italians | and Portuguese keep in tiny bamboo cages. They feed the tiny chirpers on | lettuce and cabbage.

He sits at the mouth of his burrow and eats of the herbs growing near. He is contented with his lot. Day and night he sings an incessant song of praise for his many blessings. (Copyright, 1931.)

Well, just try this recipe! Drain thoroughly 6 slices of DOLE 2 Pineapple. Dip each slice in condensed milk; then in crushed macaroons. %4 cup milk and 8 to 10 mac- aroons should be enough for 6 slices of pineapple. Fry in deep fat at 375° until a golden brown.
