Some. ofthe newest hat styles, that hug the head and protect the hair from wind and snow, are easy to-make-~at-home, with simple directions.

Use | machine needle and short stitches; about 10 to the inch, Loosen the pressure from the pres- ser foot by adjusting the little screw on top of your machine. This is-an important step for all bulky fabrics, for it insures an even stitch. For best results, run your machine at moderate speed. To make a smart back-interest hat, cut a 24-inch square of vel- vet diagonally, to make a true bias triangle. Cut a facing the same, size also on the bias, of satin in a matching or constrasting color. Red velvet with black satin facing is an effective combina- tion. With right sides together, baste around the three sides and stitch on your sewing machine, leaving open a portion of one side so you can turn it right side out. Press open the seams, using <ery gentle pressure with a steam tron. Allow the fabric to dry com- pletely befor you work on it again, Now turn the hat right side out, and use a hand needle and a fine stitch to close the space you left open. Divide the long side of your triangle in thirds, and mark the middle third with pins. Run a fine gathering thread along this middle section until it is, gathered to fit across the top of your: head. Use your multi-slotted binder attachment to stitch black satin bias binding along the gathered section, extending for two inches on either side beyond the gathers: Leave good long ends on the bias vinding, and stitch along the edge to give a neat finish, because it ues around the ends of the hat in back, Now. try on your hat, anchoring, it to your head with bobby pins until you /get the — fit perfectly adjusted: Tie the back ends of the satin tape firmly undér the vel- vet, leaving it loose enough to slip on and off easily, but firm enough to remain securely on the head. Now remove the hat, set it over a vase or pitcher and bring up the binding to tie around the ends of the velvet, gathering the velvet evenly under the knot.

WHIPPLE, M.D. A newborn baby is a tight little bundle of reflexes. He lies in his crib all bunched together. His arms are bent at the elbow, his hands right clenched. I He keeps his legs bent both at the hips and the knees. Even in his hiS sleep he doesn’t relax. If you pull his legs out just enough to| put a diaper on him, he’s furious and yells at you. When he sleeps, he constantly moves about. He can’t turn over yet, but he wiggles a leg or an arm*or bobs his headup and down. All his movements are on a “reflex level.” His brain is does. His muscles all work, but they just move at random. The baby cannot control them. He cannot make his neck muscles hold up his head, nor his back muscles support him in a sitting position. So he must stay lying down all the time. Your newborn keeps his eyes closed most of the time. ‘Just like a baby kitty,” said three-year- old Sue when she saw her new brother. Of course, it’s not like a kitten because the baby can open his eyes, though he doesn’t do it very often. A baby’s eye muscles move about in the same jumpy fashion as the rest of his muscles. If you don’t know it ahead of time you may get quite a shock if your baby does happen to open his eyes for you. One eye may look east and the other west. Don’t worry — this doesn’t mean he’s going to be cross-eyed. He’ll bring them toge- ther when he gets ready to use his eyes. At birth a baby cannot see much, But a baby hears well by the time he is a day old. You'll no- tice that he humps with his whole body at the sound of a loud noise. Also you'll notice that he likes soft quiet sounds. From a very young age a baby will respond to your singing or to music. The lullabye has not existed since time im- memorial for no good reason. Smelling and tasting seem to be quite well developed at birth. A tiny baby will smell brestmilk and will begin rooting around for it when he is in your arms. A hungry newborn has a reflex which will make him open his mouth and grab CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our sincere thanks to all who were so helpful and kind during the recent ill- ness and death of our beloved wife and mother, Rovena Louise Barker.
