The strips should be cut on the straight of the goods, not on’the bl Fold them over and where the two edges of the material meet make a seam abgut one- eighth of an inclr widg.

A brown patent leather belt offers the newest note in contrast. It's neither too sportive or tco fussy to span over the needs of any Summer afternoon. either for town, resort or country club. 3 The circular peplum posed at’ low lne emphasizes its slim hipline. The neckline circular ruffie is very smart and becoming. And it's so_inexpensive to copy it. Style No. 3192 may be had in sizes 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 years, 36 and 38 inches bust.

To a straight sleeve it will give the fullness through the elbow that is so often nhm in the new !‘ul:llonl- € , speaking of eeves—did you know that the tendency this Autumn will be to give fullness at the elbows or above the elbow? There is little evi- dence of exaggerated fullnéss, byt just enough to give a little extra width to the silhouette above the waistline. (Copyright. 1931.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED, Summer Sleeping Schedules. baby’s sleeping habits to suff lee) suffer some Young mothers, who as a group have written in to this department fo,; sug- gestions, are again puzsled. “You have helped us before with your practical lem probably not new t you, but %o us. “Our bables range from 8 to 101, months of age. Before hot weather they were all trained to go to sleep alone between 6:30 and 7:3/. Now the bed rooms are unbearably hot and also they are light. The freedom which no covers gives leads the babies to play if they do not cry. If they cry, they get 50 hot that sleep is still farther away “We have done all the things we know are unwise if they become habit- ual, such as rocking, or taking baby to ride in buggy or auto. We are most anxious to do things which will keep the bables comfortable and will be best in the long run. What would you st? Also what are the best Sum- mer sleeping garments for the bables and do they need their féet covered during their naps?” Suppose you rearrange the schedule, 80 _that it 18 either 7, 11, 3 and 7, or 7:30, 11: 3:30 and 7:30; then the sleeping hour will coinciGc with the last feeding, always a helpful alliance. Let the baby nap from 8 to 9 in the morning and from 1 to 3:30 in the afternoon so that there will be a real desire to go to sleep when bedtime arrives. When the temperature is 80 or more, kug nothing but a diaper on the baby, both day and night. If the temper- ature changes, it takes but a moment to add more clothes and the happy babies are those who have frequent cool lpgnn baths and are unhampered oy clothes of any kind. Recently I saw | a baby who hadn't been clothed ex- | cept with a di r day and night for | three weeks, and he showed no effects of the gruelling heat. Electric fans may be used in the room at night. The baby may be taken out for a ride and put to bed when asleep. There is nothing gained in hot weather by rocking the baby, since this is a | most uncomfortably hot ceremony, but | if riding with the baby makes him | cooler and in a mood to go to sleep, d that. The sleeping garment should be of | the thinnest cotton on ccoler nights. Otherwise there should be no germent | at all and nothing on the feet. To keep | the baby cocl, in any conceivable way, is the prime requisite for slumber. Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam.

She w'"hz'r ‘walting see S past her. The truth'is she seems to be born tired and is resting up. . Her eggs are laid in the tissues of the plants and her children are ugly little beasts whe fend for themselves on the mud bottonr of the stream or pond. They breathe by means of three leaf- Jik» trachesl gills projecting from the tip end of their body. They are spider- lik: creatures, with six legs, a long body and st °ng jaws. Of course, they do not look like Wheir parents. They spend several montus in the mud, and, when ready to complete their experience in this world, they crawl up the stem of a plant or & bit of wood and cling there for dear life. They must get & strong hold on the object in order to pull them- selves free of the old nymph body. Early some morning you will see these creatures clinging quietly to their cho- sen spot. In a little while the old skin splits. ‘The emerging one sways back and forth and lifts the body slowly out of its case. The damp, new body, with its crumpled wings, is finally withdrawn and rests on its former home. The dam- fly is vflf veak and its body tender.

The damsel fly now has glittering wings of brilliant iri-| descent green and copper. She flies about near the scene of her transfor- mation and soon mates.

Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. 1931) “I very much want $o dress my little 8-year-old daughter afractively, with-| out spending too nmich money and without making too much laundry—for dressmaker for my children. I'm think-| ing now of making clothes for her to wear next year at sehool. Can you give me some suggestions?” This is a| question from a “Puzzied Mother.” The 8-year-old should be consulted, to some extent. That is to say, many definite ideas about the kind of clothes they like. I think she would like jumper dresses—with the skirt and shoulder straps or a U-shaped waist section that stays up over the shoulders more easily than straps made of challis or serge, and washable blouses of dimity, ging- ham, or other pretty wash material. The blouses may be plain or figured. The figured, of course, have the ad- vantage that they don't show spots, a very important point sometimes. The blouses, which aren’t very much trouble to keep laundered, keep the dress al- ways fresh. The serge, or challls, skirt gives a little extra warmth and also keeps down the laundering. Yet these skirts ean be washed and ironed when necessary, which is a further point in their favar. Wash dresses are, of course, quite suitable for the 8-year-old. There are most attractive dark figured linens snd other prints that may be chosen—be- cause they don’t show every spot. They can be made In simple one-plece de< signs, with collar and cuffs of plain colored linen. With these sweaters should be worm on very cold days.

Proponents of allowances for wives usually stress the fact that without an allowance a woman is unable to run her house efficiently. She never knows just how much money she can beg tomor- row, or whether more funds will be avaflable when her present ones are ex- hausted. Every woman has heard of these and other sad condit ons. We have heard very little, if any- thing at all, thowgh, about the women who practice absurd economies, so that they may have things they can't afford. The allowance is not exactly a panacea | for a wife’s financial troubles. It is often just & new trouble in dl.lf\llu Many women stay within the limits of their allowance by imposing sacrifices on the family. In frequent cases a husband must | supervise the housekeeping bills and give his wife a personal allowance, otherwise daily doles are the only prac- ticable financial arrangement. - Family partnership in the form of a joint bank account has been recom- mended as & worth while method of solving this perplexing problem. It en- courages the wife to forget her personal interests and gives her broader and more responsible ones. She looks upon household finance as a family matter and not as a means by which she may | derive little sums here and there for extravagances. No wonder that women are only in- | terested in their own allowances. Most | allowances leave a woman to her own devices in spending. She feels that she | is only responsible for providing for that | which her allowance covers. Partnership in the family bank ac- count induces A woman to be truly and consistently economical. She will not, under ordinary conditions, use such an account to her personal advantage. The fact that she has an equal claim on the family exchequer will, or should, This PARIS ZUorltfi_ SAows e_"'ub? \gown. i two Tore s bace. o inerustalion. g a shiral effert 2o e lim silhousltte -k‘lu_d influence her to forget her own selfish whims and fancies. Seme women would take unfair ad- vantage of such a plan, of course. The same women would take advantage of any other plan. They simply have not any financial responsibility and, con- ducting themselves like children, they must be treated as such. They are the ‘women who serve sardine dinners while buy expensive lingerie. are plenty of sensible women, however, who will qualify for financial as well as social partnership with their | husbands.
