MAGAZINE PAGE. For the Youthful, Slender Neck BY MARY fashion and yet the names by which novel fashions are dubbed prove quite conclusively that there is nothing new under the sun. Take for instance, a certain draped collar arrangement of a few Seasons ago. It seemed new, but it was inspired by the loose folds of a monk’s Tobe and was therefore known as the cowl neckline. We enjoyed the novelty of this loose collar for a time and then accepted a more closely drawn drapery and called it, for lack of a better name, the modified cowl neckline. This season collars frequently fasten at the back and, seeking the source of this idea, we call them bibs. The col- BEDTIME STORIE Whitefoot Brings News. When all sesms safest then watch out, For enemies mav be about. —Whitefoot the Wood Mouse. When all seems safest that may be the very time of greatest danger. This is because at such times people usually grow careless and forget to watch and their enemies know this and take ad- vantage of it. Whitefoot the Wood Mouse and Mrs. Whitefoot never had felt safer than they did in Farmer Brown's old sugar house. To begin with they had a house which to them was a regular castle. It was, as you know, in an cld sirup can lying on its | side under an old coat. They had tried | their teeth on its walls and knew that | no one could break into it. The only HE GOT A GLIMPSE OF SOMETHING WHITE THAT DIS- APPEARED AS SUDDENLY AS IT HAD APPEARED. way into it was by means of the little round doorway that only one as small as themselves could pass through. ‘Then, too, it was in the sugar house and even Reddy Fox woull not dare enter there. So, having found that Farmer Brown's Boy was their friend, they felt perfectly safe. With always plenty of food provided for them there was no need of ever gslnc outside that old sugar house. jut Whitefoot often did go out when the door was left ajar m the evening. Mrs. Whitefoot had the four babies to care for, but Whitefoot had no cares and he liked to roam about. It was one evening while he was outside that he made a dreadful discovery. He was sitting at the entrance to a private hole of his under the roots of an old stump near the woodpile. Only his head was out and fortunately, very fortunately, he was perfectly still ‘The moonlight fell full on the wood- plle. He thought he saw something move over there. He fixed his eyes on tl;: hfig’h For :l m'lq.rlnen;l or two the saw n unusual. Then he got a glimpse of something white that disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared. The next minute & slim, small person sat up on top of the woodpile, looked sharply in in all directions and then disappeared between the sticks of wood. Whitefoot's heart seemed to stop for an instant. ‘There was terror in his eyes as he held his breath and continued o watch. The slim, white visitor appeared again, this time on the ground. He moved quickly and his nose touched the ground now and then. He was making straight for the door of the sugar house. Just before he reached it the door opened and Farmer Brown's Boy stepped out. The ‘white stranger vanished as if by magic Farmer Brown's Boy walked over to the ‘woodpile for an armful of wood. Whitefoot sprang out of his hole and | MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

Anyway it | is very new, and if you have a youth-| ful, siender neck you will find it most becoming. The coliar is cut rather high at either side of the neck, and extends s, giving the broader shoulder line that is still im- portant. Another new mote is the scalloped edge—which is applied to the curved line of the bib collar by means | of fagoting stitches. | It is difficult to say just what detail of fashion is most important at the present time. Sleeves with their al- | most infinite variety have attracted a good deal of attention for the past year. Right now word comes from Paris that skirts are again focusing the interest of fashion experts and that new de- velopments are likely to be seen in| skirts within the next few months. But for practical purposes and for the aver- age woman it seems to us that collars are of paramount significance this Spring because of the important part they play in the becomingness of a dress. And for the woman who has In mind remodeling last season’s dresses to do for another season, they are ex- tremely important because often all that needs to be done to give up-to- date smartness to an old dress is to provide a new and becoming collar. | (Copyright, 1932.)

Farmer Brown's Boy turned just in time to see him. “Hello!” he | | exclaimed. “Whitefoot 1s running as if | | Reddy Fox was at his heels. I wonder | what has given him such & fright. I | don’t see anything around here to frighten him.” In through the open door raced | Whitefoot and straight into the old sirup can. Mrs. Whitefoot came out | of her nest. “What is the matter with | you?” she demanded, for Whitefoot was | panting and trembling all over. | “I—I—I've got terrible news” he | gasped. | “What is 1t?” demanded Mrs. White- | t anxiously. | “I've just seen Shadow the Weasel!” | panted Whitefoot. A look of dreadful fear came into the eyes of Mrs. Whitefoot. “Where?" she asked in a voice that shook. “Out in the woodpile,” replied White- foot, “and then just outside the door. I—I think he smelled my scent in the woodplle and followed it over to the door. Farmer Brown's Boy frightened | him away, but he didn't go far, I am sure. And he will come back. There | isn't a doubt about that. Oh, dear, | what shall we do? What can we do?” | “He won't dare come in the sugar house,” ventured Mrs. Whitefoot, but xhiteroot knew that she didn't believe at. | “He would dare do anything. You | know that as well as I do,” replied Whitefoot. Just then Farmer Brown's Boy en- tered and closed the door behind him. There were two little sighs of sheer | relief. | Copyright, 1932 BY HERBERT ON the day that the veteran of the House—white-haired, kindly, 73- year-old Gilbert N. Haugen—broke all Tecords for continuous service in the House at 33 years and 20 days, he re- | vealed how near he came to miss- ing the distinction | he enjoys today. It was back in 1898 when Hau-| gen, then 39 and fresh from six years as treasurer of his home coun- ty and two terms in the Iowa Leg- islature, went to the fourth district Republican Con- vention at New Hampton with as- pirations to come to_Washington. U , who had represented that district for four terms in the House, as well as another candidate named three-cornered race,” sald Haugen, “almost anything can hap- pen. This was no exception. “The convention started balloting. They continued all day, through the night until 3 o'clock in the morning. | By that time 365 ballots had been taken without a selection, so an ad- journment was ordered. | “The next morning I went into the convention confident. I was not to be | disappointed. When the 366th ballot | was counted, I had won and started| on a congressional career that was to | bring me 17 successive re-elections, dean of the House and the champion ‘House sitter’ of all time.” It was typical of Haugen to say on the day he broke the House service record that he could do as much work on_the farm now as he ever did. ! Both in his public and private life agriculture has exerted at all times a profound influence on him. | At the age of 9 he hired out to work for his brother, to be paid as many dollars & month as he was old. This rate of pay continued until he was 12, when he began the task of supporting himself and getting an education. Before he was 19 he had bought a farm of his own.

But right before your eyes is the strange nest, and once you have seen it your respect for the maker is doubled. “The nest is rarely placed higher than 20 feet from the ground, and most often at the end of branches and where the twigs make a “Y.” This is s0 that the mouth of the nest will remain open for the mother to pass in and out, not only when she is con- structing the elaborate dwelling, but when she is feeding the hungry brood. Also, the weight of her body will close the mouth of the nest when she is in- side and keeps out the enemies lurking near. Right near her head, when she is sit- walls is open, in order that she may have fresh air! Swung between the forks and free from neighboring twigs, the bables inside are rocked to and fro in their little hammock. The frame- work is of twine and short bits of bright yarn. Loops are made as tight and evenly as if crocheted. Inside, hair and soft material are ready to receive the four or six whitish eggs splashed over with black-brown The father watches over his little mate and tries his best to attract your attention so you will not be at all in- terested in his family. His head, neck, throat and most of his back are black The feathers of his back are margined with white, the tail is black except the outer feathers, whose edges are yellow. The remainder of the bird is a golden orange. The mother is marked much the same, but the colors are less showy. This bird is so named because he wears the colors of the first Lord Balti- more, and it is said that when George Calvert, worn and weary from his many trials, saw this lgvely bird, its glorious song so pleased him that orange and black became the heraldic colors of the first owners of Maryland. Another thing about the oriole in his favor—his loveliest songs are for his | mate! When the little mother is sitting on the eggs and outside the glorious sun is shining her spouse sits nearby on a twig and gives her his very best in the way of music. His mind is one track— he thinks you will not think of his fam- ily, only the singer. As a matter of fact, you who are bird-wise know the little nest is not so far away. The whole United States has the pleasure of this bird’s acquaintance. They migrate in early May, and depart about the middle of September. ey are Summer residents, and what a world of good they do! Grubs, worms, flies, caterpillars, and even cocoons, are con- sumed by them. It is hard to say just how many the orioles about your place do find and feast on.

In Congress his activity has been marked by unceasing battles for the farmer and farm relief. He has de- voted most of his attention to farm legislation. | ‘The McNary-Haugen bill, containing the famed equalization fee, passed by Congress twice and vetoed as many times, is evidence of his abiding inter- est in this subject.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. It is easier to deprive baby of night feedings gradually than to snatch them away all at once. There is no exact | moment at which any one can say, | “After this there shall be no night feed- | ings.” But if the mother avoids waking the baby for night feedings and allows him to establish his own hours for eat- ing she will find it easier to break him of the habit than if from birth he has been fed inflexibly at 10 pm. and 2 am. If he is well fed in daytime, he simply stops waking for the night feed- | ings. Daytime feedings should be as regular as the clock. Those after 6 p.n. may come when baby wakes for them, provided there are never more than two between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Mrs. B. K. L. has a baby of 7 months who weighs 22 or more pounds and is still demanding two feedings at night. He gets a formula of 32 ounces of milk, six ounces of water and four table- spoonfuls of corn sirup, which, presum- ably, his mother divides into six bottles. At 10 and 6 he gets cereal, along with his formula, and at 2 p.m. he gets veg- etable. He has orange juice at 9 o'clock | in the morning. But he does not have JOAN: I WOMEN’S FEATURES, cod liver oil, or at least his mother did not mention it. She feels—and rightly—that such a big baby should not be fed so often at night, and though the baby sleeps well he does waken regularly for two feed- ings. What shall she do? He should have at least eight ounces of formula st each feeding. Taking part of this formula to make two extra bottles deprives the baby of enough milk for daytime use. There is nothing about the formula that needs any par- ticular correction. But if there are to be five feedings daily, add eight ounces of water, one tablespoonful of corn sirup and divide the formula into five bottles. Wait until baby wakes at night before giving the fifth bottle. If he wakens a second time, offer only boiled water. Perhaps with a fresh diaper, a change of position and a bottle of water the baby will be satisfied to go to sleep again without eating. In time he will stop waking for this drink of water. ‘Then the fifth bottle may be taken away by gradually reducing the amount of both water and sugar and giving baby this diminishing bottle at night He'll learn to be satisfied with less and less milk, and when it is all gone he should be ready to sleep without eating. Certainly at his age and weight there is no real need for a night bottle. It is just a habit, from which he must be weaned gradually. ! could cry . . . married only a month and look at my “dishpan” hands—red as beets . .. SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY.
