For though this Summer is distinctly a time of play upon color, it is_just as defi- nitely a white Summer. In the Spring we talked much of black with a touch of white and colored frocks with a touch of white. Now the talk has re- wversed itself and the chatter is about | Pr¢ white with a touch of color and some- times more than a touch. In the realm of sport clothes this color accent on white is of the most brilliant tones. For city and street wear 1t is a bit more discreet, but it is ever present in the mode as worn in smart restaurants at luncheon and tea time. All the colors so enthusiastically talked about achieve chic through con- sorting with white. To further amplify this mode there are jackets of white fur, such as broadtail and pony skin, Jackets of white chiffon and of white crepes and corded silks.

Premature Judgment. *Judge nothing beforg time”—I Cor. iv.5 This admonition is one needed at all times with regard to current conditions - in the world, and particularly now. Not a great while ago an eminent physiol- ogist told us that the blood of the race ‘was running out and that the human family was in grave danger of being extinguished from physical degenera- tion. A university professor in Ger- many recently prophesied an impending tragic end to humanity—that man’s rising efficiency and increasing tech- nique would soon spell his doom. We hear many prophecies of another war soon to come, in which the human race, by its own violence, will be utterly de- stroyed from the earth. And what gloomy prophecies we hear in connec- tion with the present economic depres- sion. Many tell us that its outcome is likely to be the complete collapse of civilization. ‘We should not be blind to the evils and dangers pointed out by these prophets. They are not to be lightly regarded. They should challenge the thoughtful attention of all right-think- people. Bul let us not be too much luenced by pessimistic views of . Let us not despair. “Judge nothing before time,” There have been times in the past when it seemed that the blood of the race was running out. But somehow it has always managed to run out into a new and reinvigorated blood. In the past the human race has contended with earthquakes, volcanoes, cyclones, famines, floods, plagues, dis- eases, infirmities, weaknesses, ignorance, panics, revolutions, wars and all man- mer of calamatles, difficulties, hard- ships and sufferings. And yet it has risen above all these, and with intrepid resolution, dauntless courage, intelligent wvalor and an inextinguishable hope has marched on to_new achievements and mew triumphs. We are told that history repeats itself, Let us hold on to the eonfidence that we shall conquer again end that out of present conditions a new day will come. ‘We are undoubtedly confronted with many discouraging things. But there are many things to encourage us, many hopeful signs on the horizon. Besides, there is the possibility of new devel- opments which We. do not now fore- see. Even though conditions become ‘worse, let us reme;nl;e; that hutmnnity possesses a_remarkable power for re- cuperating itself and going on. What- ever is said, surely this is no time for hasty, ill-considered, premature judg- ment. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Stewed Rhubarb | Dry Cereal With Cream Poached Eggs Blueberry Muffins Coffee.

Dresses of sheer white woolen and those of white cotton fabrics are seen on city streets as well as on country club piazzas, Recently we have seen many wool suits of chiffon weight lunching at smart places and at the matinee. How color sets off white is oved by the short, bright-colored Jackets which often are worn with these costumes, or the scarfs which supple- ment them when the suit itself is all white.

Quart of Milk for Child. Our goal in child training is to move the child from one stage of development to the next as rapidly as he is able. This is not forcing; it is just taking advantage of natural growth and devel- opment, and making those changes which will be most interesting and ac- ceptable to the child at each period. It is certain that if we hold & baby at some level of development too long, we find him stubborn and resistant w0 change, while if we early and work up slowly to the change he ac- cepts it. We all know that if the baby | bel has had a cup for water and orange juice from the time he could sit up, or has been allowed to handle a spoon and “puddle about” with it at 9 months or sooner, he will be able to drink bea tifully at 1 year and make good hea way with spooning up his solid foods. We also know that other babies not so trained must be fed and demand all milk by bottles. It is largely s matter of t training and in initiating three-meal-a-day schedule. vantages are threefold: When the baby can_patiently wait five hours for his meal, and can eat a larger diet which il y g, he has moved upward toward definitely adult stand- ards. The advantage to the mother is obvious, for meals are coincident with the family meals—an advantage that should appeal to any busy mother. Mrs. M. M. also asks, “How much milk should a baby of 10 months old, weighing 22 pounds, take? Ilhc{:tl only three meals a day, how shall this be distributed? What is the usual see anything definite on this.” Thirty-two ounces of milk is one quart and furnishes four 8-ounce feed- ings. The usual feeding bottle holds 8 ounces and the ordinary measuring cup the same amount. Coffee or tes cups fall below this standard. Any baby over 20 pounds in weight should have a quart of milk daily. If he is under 10 or 11 months, dilute the milk with water, add some sugar and put it into five bottles. Othewise, four feed- ings are the usual amount. Most bables of 10 months still get four 8-ounce feedings. Recently I ad- vised thres for a particular baby who had no appetite for four meals. Us- ually 6, 10, 2, 6 is the interval, and 8 ounces of whole milk each time would be the right amount. On three-meal schedule the baby will have one cup of milk at each meal, and the other cup can be used in cooking solid foods. Cereal is more appetizing when cooked in milk—one cup can be; used that way or in milk pudding or| custard. Reserve one quart daily for baby, and you'll not find it difficult to use it, even if not all of it is taken as a beverage. My leaflet, “Week's Menu for the Child from One to Two Years,” will help you to plan the meals after the baby is past infancy.

The ant seizes this ?rg’rlunlty to increase the herd of “milch cows,” and her sisters stand by the overflowing aphid and catches the before it falls. All is not as safe as it seems.

Tea should be measured carefully in the proportion of one level tea- spoon for each cup desired. The bolling water should be poured over the tea and the tea allowed to steep for three minutes or possibly five. Tea should never be allowed to boil, as boiling ex- tracts the tannic acid from the leaves in large quantities. “On the filthy body and hairy legs of one house- fly gver six million germs have been found,” says the North Carolina Health Board. “The fly breeds in filth, invades the home, contami- nates food and spreads disease,” says the U.
