B—10 WOMEN'S FEATURES. History of HomeHours Register in Child’s Life Safest Place Among Those Who Mold Earliest Days. BY ANGELO PATRL [ HE best place for a baby is at home. He needs to be kept quiet for the greater part of the day. He needs to sleep. He cannot stand the pressure of too many people about him. He needs clean air at an even temperature. He needs to stay home. *This stands for all children up to the age of 3 or thereabout. Street cars and busses are not good places for little children. The movies are out of the question. Any place that exposes the infant to crowds and noise and jostling is a bad place for him. The little ones are susceptible to contagion and infection. A crowd is just the place for these to flourish at their worst. Somebody sneezes and the neighborhood gets whooping cough, measles and whatnot. Colds seem to pass with lightning-like speed through a crowd, and children are the first victims. It is dangerous to expose infants to contaglous diseases. There are still a few people who think that children naturally have those diseases and nothing can be done about it. That is not true. A great deal can be done ebout it and ought to be done. First, the children should be guard- ed against exposure by being kept at home. If there is contagious disease in the neighborhood the other chil- dren should be allowed no visiting privileges. Quarantine your home against disease as you would if there were disease within it. Prevent ill- ness by timely quarantine. « Don't allow visitors to kiss the little ones. If fond friends feel hurt about it you can't help it. Explain, as gently as you cam, the reason for your pre- caution, and if they have a grain of sense they will agree readily. Guests are not alike in their influ- ences on children. There are some who overstimulate the little ones, set them to laughing, or jumping about, or crying. Some make the children afraid. Either they talk too loudly, are too silent, too powerful in their domination, or they are deadly dull and make the child so uneasy that he breaks into tears or tantrums. Children ought not to be left to the mercy of adults even those who love them and want to do them good. The greatest kindness that most people can bestow upon little children is the kindness that makes them see that children need to be let alone. It is not necessary to do something for the children every minute of the time. Their wants are simple and few. They need food, rest, fresh air, play and the normal compagionship found in the wisely ordered home. Not such a hard problem when attacked by com- mon sense. There are always emergencies. Al- ways the question of what is to be done with the baby while this or that | serious situation is cleared away. It may be necessary to take the baby for & long journey, to carry him into crowds, to expose him to noise and fatigue and the pressure of unaccus- | tomed surroundings. Then you do| the best you can to help him avoid | the dangers. Get him back to his| home as soon as you can. Home is the best place for the baby, because it is quiet, clean, not crowded. It is not sterilized, it is not walled egainst life, but it is the safest place you can find for your baby, Variety and Originality Lend Interest to New Fall Perfect knockabout hat to go with Fall tweeds.

The Old Gardener Says: The best season of the year for making lawns, at least in many parts of the country, is now at hand. The cool, moist weather of the Autumn months is ideal for the germination of grass seed. Lawns planted in the Autumn are much less likely to be infested with weeds than those made in the Spring. It is important to have several inches of good rich soil for the grass roots to burrow in, and an ade- quate amount of fertilizer is ab- solutely necessary to make strong growth. Lime is also recom- mended in sections where acid soils prevail—about 50 pounds to 100 square feet of surface. A balanced fertilizer is best, al- though good results are obtained by using sheep manure and bone meal or cottonseed meal.

Its texture is so soft and fine that at a distance it looks like velvet, yet it mercifully will not spot and is stiff enough to adapt itself well to sport styles. One stun- ning model which we saw of this luxurious velour is of a luscious deep red, so clear and so brilliant that it looks like a color from the palette of one of the Renaissance artists. Its medium-width brim turns up in back in front, its crown is softly crushed. A matching grosgrain ribbon com- pletes its simple smartness.

Then you'll have a two-piece ensemble to wear right through the Fall and Winter. The lacy stitch which composes the entire blouse is very quickly learned by heart, and a grand one to add to your crochet repertoire. The blouse has raglan sleeves, which are so easy to fashion, while the pretty bow is made of strands of the same wool. The buttons make a smart trim, and sleeves may be either short or long. In pattern 5426 you will find complete instructions for making the blouse shown; an illustration of it and of the stitches needed; material re- quirements. The blouse comes in sizes 16-18 and 38-40.

Not so daring, but quite as smart as many of a similar type, the hat is also astonishingly becoming in its lines.

Two little tabs of its| ribbon trimming hanging down in | back accentuate its youthful style, which is saved from being too sweet and simple—and entirely saved, we assure you—by a long, smooth-looking black-dotted veil. Almost all of the dressy hats boast these veils, which are much longer than last year's, and in many cases are draped to fall more gracefully. One model which is particularly en- hanced by its veil, is the tiny felt turban you will notice sketched. Just the thing for a tea dance, its swanky veil and the little tufts of fringed felt over the ears are all it needs to center the attention of the entire assembly gratifyingly upon its wearer.

'HE most curious thing about our civilization is that it has mnot eliminated fatigue. One would sup- pose that with the aid of all sorts of machinery and practical labor-sav- ing devices, fatigue would by now be eliminated. But it isn't. Rather do the masses suffer more today from fatigue than ever before. Perhaps there is something psycho- logical rather than physical about fa- tigue. And this seems to be the case. Modern life is crowded with stimull which our forefathers never dreamed of. The fact that you may now travel as far in one hour as your grandfathers did in & day seems to offer the key to the situation. Our minds are reaching for new thrills. And we go after them. The time our grandfathers spent at rest we spend in & mad rush for something new. We have acquired the habit of projecting ourselves into the external world. We have done this so com- Dletely that we cannot rest. Mental fatigue is the inevitable result. Another recent discovery: Fatigue is the parent of fear. It's a curious fact that a tired person is easily frightened. And so the evidence seems to be accumulating that most of our mental diseases nowadays are the natural results of being constantly on the look-out for some way to take in more and more of this external world.

C, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1935. " E4 Spain Was Birthplace Of First Knitted Hose Made of Invention of the Stocking Frame Result of Romantic Episode in the Life of England’s William Lee. BY BETSY CASWELL. HE next time that you take a pair of brand-new stockings I cobweb sheerness over your limbs, stop just a moment to realize that these filmy garments are the result of centuries of experimentation and laborious in- & vention. In “The Penny Magazine,” dated 1843, when stock- ings were far from being the inexpensive and beautiful affairs that they now are, there is a de- lightful article on their history and evolution. ‘The first hose were made of leather or cloth. Henry VIII ordinarily wore cloth stockings, except when & pair of knit- ted silk ones could be procured at vast effort and expense from Spain. son, Edward VI, was presented with a Betsy Caswell long pair of knitted silken hose by Sir | Thomas Gresham. The gift, of Span- ish origin, excited much comment and admiration. Thus it would appear that the first ancestors of the modern knitted stockings halled from Spain and were regarded as clothes only for royalty. In 1561 Queen Elizabeth was given a pair of black silk knit stockings by her silk woman, a Mrs. Montague. ‘This so pleased the Queen that hence- forth she refused to wear any but hosiery of this type, and Mrs. Mon- tague was undoubtedly hard put to it | to keep the royal limbs supplied. * *x Kk % HE first knitted woolen stockings appeared in England in about 1564, being made by one William Rider, an apprentice in one of the clothing houses on London Bridge. He had seen. at the house of an Ital- ian merchant, a pair of knit worsted stockings, which had arrived from Mantua. Being clever and observing, he made a pair exactly like them and presented them to William, Earl of Pembroke, much to that nobleman’s pride and pleasure. It has been alleged that the original king-frame,,” manufacture of stockings out of the laborious handmade class, was in- vented and assembled in England. About the end of the sixteenth cen- tury, one William Lee, a graduate of St. John's College in Cambridge, fell in love with & young country girl, so the story goes. During his calls, she paid far more attention to her knit- ting than she did to her suitor, and this drove him to try to find some- thing that would facilitate the hand- work, and give her more time to listen | to his pleas. William Lee then and there in- vented the stocking frame, which, as & matter of fact, turned out to be an excellent thing for him in many ways. He instructed his brother in its use, Dorothy from their box and slip their | His | which lifted the Silk Threads and took on a number of apprentices and assistants; his business flourished for some years. He is sald to have gone to Queen Elizabeth shortly before her death, to | request some sponsorship or remunera- | tion, but he obtained neither—in fact, | the Queen hindered rather than| helped him in his undertaking. Prob- | ably due to this situation, Lee ac- cepted an invitation from Henry IV of France who had heard of his in- | vention, and promised to give Lee & handsome reward. Lee and nine men went to Rouen, taking their machines | ‘wnh them, but the King was ;ssn-i sinated shortly thereafter, and Lee fell into great distress in Paris, where he died abandoned. His men returned to England, where they joined forces with a man called Aston, and laid the real | foundation of stocking manufacture | in England. THE number of frames increased | tremendously; other countries began importing them, and groups of . journeymen, to teach their own work- men the art of making hosiery. In 1614 the Venetian Ambassador, An- | tonio Correr, lured an apprentice, | Henry Mead, with the bait of 500 pounds sterling, to take a loom to Venice for a stated time, and there to | teach the use of it. Everything went well until the loom suffered some minor mishap that no one was able to repair. Mead re- | turned to England, the damaged loom | was sent after him, and that ended that particular attempt. Some years later one Abraham | Jones, who was both a weaver and a | constructor of looms, went with some assistants to Amsterdam, where he worked on his own account for several years. Unhappily, he and his com- | panions were all carried off by dis- | ease, .and, as no one knew how to| | use the looms, they were returned to | | London, where they sold for almost | nothing. * x k% * x * X | | N ENGLAND, however, the industry | continued to boom. By 1669 there | were 700 stocking frames hard at | work—which was considered a co- | lossal achievement. By the year 1714 | the number of frames had increased | to 9,000, and th. affair was no longer one of the wonders of the world! And there you have the history of | those delicate garments that are so |lightly and easily purchased today. | One drawback still exists, however, which must have annoyed even Queen | Elizabeth, with Mrs. Montague's fa- | mous donation. Then and now, stock- | | ings have had a tendency to runs, | and so far, with all our great facto- ries, and modern chemical treatment, no really® runproof hosiery has been | manufactured. When that is ac-| | complished, then a new stocking era | will really dawn. | It you wish advice on your indi- | vidual household problems, write to Betsy Caswell, in care of The Star, inclosing stamped, self-addressed en- | velope for reply. Dix_Says Medium Length Engagement Is the One to Be OW long should an engage- | ment last? A group of scien- | tists who have been studying | H the subject have made the surprising discovery that the too brief and the too long courtships are equally dangerous. Both result in unhappy marriages. In a word, it seems that it is about as safe to rush off to the parson from a party with a perfect stranger as it is to marry the steady with whom you have been keeping company for years and years and years. At first blush this does not seem | to make sense. Heaven knows, we say to ourselves, it is hard enough to pick cut a husband or a wife that will suit ycu even after you have taken your time about it and shopped all over the place. You are so likely to want to return your bargain to the marriage license bureau after you have got it home and given it the once-over carefully. You find so mwany defects that you didn't notice at your first glance. The quality isn't all wool and a yard wide as it looked to be in the shop, and, the color isn't nearly as rosy by day as it was by night. Sb many of us get stung even when we have taken our time in selecting our mates that to marry at sight appears to add an unneces- sary risk to an already hazardous enterprise. * K %k JT MAY be romantic, it is certainly adventurous, to marry a man or woman with whom you are slightly acquainted and toward whom you have not even tested your emotions to find out if what you feel is merely a passing fancy or the grand pas- sion, but what about the disastrous revelations that marriage may bring of faults and foibles you would have been bound to discover if you had known him or her better? Any man and woman can keep up s pretense of being a fairy prince or princess for a while, but sooner or later they are bound to drop their dis- guise ahd show themselves in their true colors. ‘Temper, nerves, selfish- ness, tyranny, stupidity come out and wigwag a warning to an engaged couple, which they may or may not heed, but at least it lets them know what they are due to get in a wife or husband. But this life-saving serv- ice is not offered by the short en- gagemeni. That affords no oppor- tunity for a couple to get a line on each other’s little peculiarities. They take each other “as is” and if the “gy 18" isn't at all what they want or like, it is just too bad. A marriage is chancy enough when a man and woman, who have known Preferred. the bank at Monte Carlo or picked only winners during a racing season or otherwise had unmistakable proof | given them that they are the white- haired children of Lady Luck are Jjustified in running the risk of marry- ing after a brief engagement. * ok x X THIS being the case, and knowledge of each other's characters and dispositions being about the best in- surance against failure in marriage that a man and woman can take out, it would seem that a long engagement should insure domestic felicity. It would prevent, one would think, those fatal catastrophes in which the hus- band and wife fight from the altar to the grave over smoking or golf or re- ligion or politics or the use of rouge and lipstick and the many other things over which men and women differ so radically in opinion. Thus the long engagement should lead by a lengthy road, but a sure one, to & successful marriage, but such, un- fortunately, is rarely the case. There 15 something about a long engagement in which the high contracting parties are neither bound nor free, neither fish nor flesh nor good red herring, which gets on the nerves of even the most phlegmatic and frets them to fiddle strings and makes them peevish and quarrelsome. * ok k x FURTHEHMORE‘ a long engage- ment is even more disillusioning than marriage and offers more things to scrap over because a couple see each other's faults without any palliating kindnesses and services to cover them, and just because they have no legal right to control each other it makes them the more tyran- nical. All of this is death to love and tears romance to tatters, so that the long engagement oftener than not unites two people who are already tired of each other and who marry Just because people expect it of them. All of which indicates that the medium length engagement is the preferred one. It should be long enough for & man and woman to get really acquainted with each other, but short enough to keep them from get- ting tired of eath other. DIX.
