w OMAN’S PAGE All Sorts of Vacation Weather BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Do mnot let the weather at the time of packing influence you in the clothes you take away on a vacation trip. It is difficult not to let this happen, but invariably you will find & lack in your ‘wardrobe if you do. For instance, the days are torrid ‘WELL PREPARED FOR ALL ‘WEATHERS. when you are laying aside the gar- ments ‘to take away. It seems as if this was the seasonable temperature and you make your selections accord- ingly. The very idea of folding and packing a woolen dress, a heavy coat or any woolen article seems absurd. ‘The feel of the garments makes you hotter than ever and you firmly be- lieve such clothing would bz useless. 8hould you 1ollew this idea, you will The only seasonable things seem to be those that will keep you warm. Into the trunk or suit case go heavy articles of clcthing and you start off with the feeling that you are well equipped for the weather. Then out comes the sun in a blaze of heat and you swelter when you crave coolness. You find your wardrobe entirely in- adequate. Many a woman has left her um- brella_and rubbers at home through forgetfulness of them in the bright- | ness of the weather when leaving home only to find she had to spend some | of the money intended for pleasurable extras for duplicate storm accessories. So, whatever the weather, take along some clothes suited to hot weather | and chilly, for rain and for storm. Take just as few things as you can considéring the occasions likzly to occur and the kind of resort you are | @oing to. Extras are only a bother | to pack and repack and they add to weight, which is an item if vou take i hand luggage only, & not uncommon thing to do mowadays. The pleasure {of your trip will be increased by the | suitability of your wardrobe particular needs. (Copyright, 1931.) YOUR BABY AND MINE | | i | BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. | | to your The baby under one year makes gains | that are in relation to his birth weight |and are somewhere near the average | weight for his age. After one year of | ag> we begin to relate weight to height and expect that the tall child will weigh | | more, at any age, than the short ‘one. Mrs. F. K. wonders if she should worry because her 17-month-old child | welghs only 22 pounds though he weighs seven and one-half at. birth. She says, “He is very strong and active, | has 12 teeth, but is not a very hearty | eater. I have been giving him cod liver | oil since his sixth month. He eats all | kinds of vegetables, eggs, bacon, and | drinks his milk.” Worry is a useless emotion unless it inspires you to find out why the child has gained but one pound in six months instead of the three pounds which you should have expected. There is noth- ing wrong with the diet you are giving | except that you mentioned neither | fruits nor cereal in your outline. Was | this simply forgotten or are these es- | sential foods being omitted? EVENING STAR, WASH. SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY.

I was very devoted to my wife and was very good to her and we were very happy together. Now I have fallen in love with my wife's sister, who 'is & widow and of my age. I love her because she is o much like my wife and has her little ways. Do you think it would be wrong for us to marry? LONESOME. ANSWlHertlhfly not. I think it is just the right thing for you to do and that you will be happy together because you know each other so well and will find it easy to adapt yourselves to each other, F course, in England it used to be against the law for a man to marry his deceased wife's sister, but modern enlightenment changed all that. People could see how a woman's sister could slip into the heart of a bereaved husband and fill her place more fully than any other woman could possibly do, So I should say that a sister-in-law is a preferred risk in matrimony. She will know all of your little peculiarities and all the things you are so fussy about. She will know how you treated her sister, and if she is willing to take a chance on you, it's a pretty good recommendation. Further- more, it is a compliment you pay your wife when you want to marry another woman as much like he.r as p.ossible. DOROTHY DIX. JDEAR MISS DIX—I am a girl 21 years old. Work regularly and contribute most all of my wages to my aunt, with whom I live, Should I be allowed the privilege of entertaining. a gentleman friend in my home without the danger of his *being insulted by my aunt? Should I be allowed to attend the theater, dances and social enter- tainment without being continually nagged at by my aunt? I do not want to do anything wrong, only to have a little reasonable freedom and wholesome amusement. E. B. Answer—Whoever pays the piper has the right to call the tune. If your aunt was supporting you and you were a parasite upon her, she would have the right to refuse to let you entertain company in her house and to regulate your outgoings and incomings, That is the price that one must pay for being dependent. 'OU, however, are a self-supporting, financlally independent woman, and as you pay the bills of the house you have a right to enter- tain any one you please in it and you also have the right to go to any decent place of amusement without your aunt offering any criticism of it. Your aunt is a bully and all bullies are cowards, so turn the tables upon her by reading her the riot act and telling her that unless you can have liberty to do as you please you are going to leave and with- draw your support. That will bring her to terms pronto. DORO' . (Copyright, 1931.) s Fried Tomatoes. Cut the desired amount of tomatoes Delicious Dessert. and bread crumbs.

Most Americans are prejudiced in favor of hot soups. Cold soup seems as impossible as hot ice cream. But it is a mere notion. In Russia and cer- tain other countries of Europe soups are frequently served chilled in Sum- mer. One Russian soup—always served cold—is made from spinach, cucum- bers, kvass—if you know what that is— crayfish, salmon, onion leaves, fennel, horseradish, lemons, herrings and mus- tard. The Russian who offered this recipe to me said that she was afraid Americans might not like it. Proba- bly she was entirely right. We wouldn't like the flavor—but there are some cold soups that would suit American taste and that would make excellent warm- weather luncheon dishes. FEATURES EVERYDAY PSYCHOLOGY BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Eternal Consciousness. Even 300 years ago no one would dare say that animals possessed intelligence. Instinct only!
