jKeeps Baby Preferences to Yourself BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Many an expectant mother spends sleepless nights because her husband has declared that no baby will be welcome in his house except a boy, or girl, as the case may be. If the father of an unborn baby has a preference for a particular sex he should keep it to himself, or at least not let his wife know of it. It is a natural enough thing for a parent to hope that a child will be one sex or the other—mothers, too, in their secret hearts have a preference usually themselves—but if they realize that the father has his heart set on a son, or a daughter, it is likely to cause them endless and unnecessary anxiety and subsequent unhappiness. Right to Happiness A mother during the pre-natal period has not only the right to be happy, but her physical health at that time depends to a large extent on her peace of mind. Not only her health but the health of the child depends upon the mental condition of the mother before birth. Half o! the babies who die during their first year, die as a result of conditions that existed before they yrere born. Crnel and Silly ■fc But aside from the physiological JRide of the matter, it is a cruel thing and a silly thing for a husband to take the stand that he will be disappointed if the new baby is not a boy—or a girl. And then if his wishes are not fulfilled, to act like a peevish baby himself and take it out on the mother, and the child, too, for months and even years to come. Thank heaven, such men are few. But they do exist. But all men should be careful about expressing a preference .even lightly. Wives are likely to seize upon their words and brood over them silently. Things are likely to be exaggerated at this time, and there is enough to bear without the added worry of useless sentiment.

SUMMER BEAUTY

BY MME. ANNE GERARDE For NBA Service Wrong posture as well as sagging muscles cause double chins. Watch your posture first, keep your head straight with the chin in straight line too. Do not massage the double chin unless you have expert knowledge of the fine muscles. Take the following treatment: Tilt the head backward with the chin protruded. Beginning at the chin, stroke downward, first with one hand, then the other, slowly at first, and then more rapidly, jfe Then, with head still tilted, slap Hthe double chin with the back of ▼the hand, or patter, a dozen times. Then apply the following compress. Dampen epsom salts with a little water and strap the compress onto the chin with a chin strap. Leave half an hour. Remove and wash with astringent. While reducing a double chin, use strong astringent daily so that the skin will tighten up rather than sag.

B. A. international summer camp, Port Huron, Mich., on Lake Huron, beginning Monday, to continue until July 30. When Miss Bina West takes her cKair as presiding officer of this convention she does so as the only living founder who still serves as fraternal chief executive. Miss West has given thirty-five years of continuous service to the organization she started as a young school teacher in 1892, and today heads the world’s largest fraternal organization for women. Dr. Ella J. Fifleld of Tacoma, Wash., supreme medical examiner, heads the W. B.

Woman s Party Favors Alimony Paying by Wives By t'nited Pr:ts WASIJINGTON. July 16.-Ali-mony for husbands? Certainly, under conditions in which wives are now granted alimony, say tne militant feminists of the National Woman’s party. A man recently was granted alimony in California. A judge in Chicago refused a husband alimony with his divorce, and an Ohio husband is reported seeking alimony. “We favor removing all discrimination between sexes,’’ Mary Gertrude Fendall, In charge of woman’s party headquarters here, told the United Press Friday. However, there is little chance that the feminists will make any campaign for alimony for husbands. There are too many discriminations against women for them to devote time to this subject just now, Miss Fendall said. . The organization's declaration of principles does not even mention the word alimony. It does, however, register a protest that women are discriminated against. “The husband shall no longer obtain divorce more easily than the wife,” it says, “and the wife shall have the right to obtain divorce on the same ground as the husband.”

Shoes, Hosiery

BY HEDDA HOYT (United Press Fashion Editor) A great deal of attention is concentrated upon shoes and hosiery this summer! Shoes for town wear have become less exotic and more standardized in type while those for sports wear have become less standardized and more exotic. For instance, one sees quantities of biack ihoes upon the streets theso days, whereas a season or so ago there were only light tans and grays. Tan, parchment, brown, and rosebeige shades, however, still outnumber black. As to cut, plain pumps and one-strap models are preferred to ornate strapped and cutout models as leather trimming details are more Important than unusual shoe outlines for street wear. Many contrasting leathers are used cuch as the combination of lizard, crocodile or snake with calfskin of the same shade. Calfskin assimilating reptile effects is popular. The sports shoe is attracting more interest at present than the street shoe owing to its variety. The flatheeled model, designed for comfort only, is worn only where one actually indulges In heavy sports. Models worn for resort wear are high-heeled and In outline not unlike town models. Some of the smartest sports shoes this year are pastel linens in shades of pale greenish blue, rosebeige, nude, yellow, and green. Hand-embroidered linens are worn for dressy afternoon wear. ' Shoes with woven straw vamps and leather rear portions and heels are both comfortable and smart upon the foot. Asa rule the straw is multi-colored while the leather holds a harmonizing interest. Similar models have vamps of woven leather. Also interesting are tennis shoes made of gayly colored awning cloth. One can also find attractive models of Dresden cloth in soft pastel shades with floral designs. These are most attractive with printed linen frocks. For formal sports wear, perhaps nothing is lovelier than the pastel opalescent kid shoe. Bright colored sports shoes are not nearly as important as pastel shades this season. As to stockings, smant women are turning from rose and pinkish tans to yellowish sunburnt tan tones. Even with the all-white shoe one wears a sun-burnt stocking. PICNIC FOR BRITISH WAR BRIDES PLANNED Members of the “British War Brides Club” of the Chicago region will be entertained at Hebron, Ind., near Valparaiso Sunday when Mrs. Mabel Marsden, wife of Herbert A. Marsden, postmaster of Hebron, will be hostess to an all-day gathering of English girls who married American soldiers during the war. Canadian and Australian women who married Americans are also eligible. Convention Delegate Mrs. I. R. La Porte, 16 N. Brookville Rd., past county president of L. A. A. O.

Don’t Hold Compliment Proposal of Marriage BY MARTHA LEE Girls, don't allow yourselves to be completely bowled over when a young man passes you a few compliments and looks interested. He may be interested very much—in having you for a friend. Any number of young men complain that girls attach too much significance to what the young men regard as evidences of mere friendship. “If I'm ordinarily decent to a girl she thinks I'm in love with her and want to marry her,” a letter that came in recently complained. Os course, the reason for this lies in the fact that women are more romantic than men and are always, consciously or unconsciously, looking for their Prince Charming. But do, girls, refrain from wearing your heart on your sleeve, ready to drop off at the touch of a man who looks soulful and says you’re a wonderful creature.

He Did Not Write* Dear Martha Lee A few months ago I met and fell In love with a voting man who • short time ago. left the city. He promised faithfully to write, but I have never heard a word from him. X feel sure he loved me. Miss Lee. and I do not understand why he does not write. Now. If I should meet him again, should I pretend Indifference, be friendly, or should I completely ignore him? A girl friend of mine has exactly the same experience. although her young man was not acquainted with my friend. Would you kindly give advice to TWO BROKENHEARTED CURLS. Here letter of similar nature. He Went South Dear Marflia Lee: I have been going with a fellow for a year and have grown to love him very much. He Is from the South and recently returned there. I am feeling terrible about It and feel as if I have nothing In the world to live for now that he is gone. • If he should send for me, would It be proper for me to go to that city as he Is there with his mother? HELEN. Shall She Elope? Dear Martha lAt. I have been going with a young man 22 years old una we have grown to love each other. We had planned to get married on my birthday. Then he tola me that he had been married. although he Is now divorced and has two children. One Is a year and a half old and the other is two and half. He took me to see the children and they are very sweet. Now my stepmother has found out about these children and refuses to let me see this young man any more. I am under age. I feel as It I don't want to live, because he means all the world to me. I cry constantly. Do you think X should run away with him? HEART BROKEN. Whatever you do, don’t make the mistake of eloping with this man. You may feel that you trust him entirely, but there may be points of law involved in his other marriage that you don’t know about and that would bring great trouble to you. Wait at least, until you are of age. Everything looks dark now and you probably feel that conditions are unbearable, but they will brighten, I’m sure, and if the young man is what he seems to be and you really love each other, don’t doubt that this matter will straighten out. “Lois M.” wants to know if it would be all right to go on a weekend trip with a young man she has known for several years and a young married couple. “Mother doesn't like the idea, and says it wouldn't look right,” Lois observes. I agree with mother, Lois. It may seem old fashioned to some new fashion folks to realize that there are still in existence certain rules of convention that cannot be violated. It would be quite unwise from many standpoints to go on this trip in this way Butterfly TrhAming An old-fashioned banana colored Tuscan picture hat elects delicate beige lace butterflies to* alight on its brim and crown for trimming. Ribbon Streamers With the big garden party hats of mid-summer, the old-fashioned ribbon streamers that hang down one's back are coming back into style. Tailored Underthings White crepe de chine, bound in apple green and neatly monogrammed in the same shade, fashions a neat tailored set of undies. Arm Bows An orange Jersey frock from Premet sets a grosgrain arm band into its sleeves, like a mourning band, but leaves the ends to tie in a perky bow.

Woman *s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER There aren’t enough teaching jobs to go around this year, they say. Hundreds and even thousands of girls stepping out of normal schools with their perfectly good teaching certificates are being told that the supply of well-qualified pedagogues fa* exceeds the demand. It seems thst despite much talk about “the poor, unde paid, over-worked, downtrodden school teacher,” her lot seemed quite idyllic to girls preparing for careers, as they contrasted her 4 or 5 or 6 working hours a day, Saturdays and all holidays off. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Easter and all-summer vacations, with the average business or professional job demanding at least eight hours a day six days a week, 50 weeks a year, all with a salary that at its minimum surpasses the average business girl’s at its maximum. Why It Is Then, too. the over-supply of teachers is probably explained by the very simplicity with which a girl once got a job as teacher. She took her normal course, got her teaching certificate, and, either by entering her name in a teachers’ agency or in the employment bureau maintained by her ow T n school, got her job with no difficulty at all. Quite a contrast to the trials of the girl who wished to enter some other profession and who, with only the haziest idea of how one “got In” went knocking from office door to office door, being humiliated and turned down until she felt like a very worm of the earth. May Do Good Perhaps the present difficulty of getting a teaching job will cause high schools and colleges to turn their attention to some of the ma** other vocations, and attempt .o make it a little easier for a girl to enter them than in the day when "getting a school” was the only aid they could and would give. General Symptoms The dwindling supply of teaching jobs, contrasted with the number of teachers, is just one more proof, of course, of our general over-popula-tion, over-supply of workers contrasted with number of available Jobs, and just one more reason why many social and economic students believe that our entire system of people making a living because of payment from a Job is on the wane, and that something like a federal dole system is bound to be substituted. "Adopt A Baby ” Speaking of so many teachers, we might try the new* Turkish law which insists that all teachers, male or femalp, who have no children of thefr own, must adopt a baby and bring it up. All teachers who have no child must report to the prefect of public instruction who will assign them to a child. The theory, I suppose, is that no person can understand children well enough to be a teacher who has not had the actual care of one.

Tragedy Lies in ‘Custody of Children ’ BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Divorce and children cannot flourish together. Here is a New York City judgs facing the usual di’ ?;nm of the ‘custody of the cht'.aren** Very wisely, he has decided to consult the son and daughter of this broken union before making his definite answer. This is America’s daily story of tragedy. A man and a woman supposedly intelligent, marry and bring children into the world, and then start squabbling over them as if they were so much merchandise In such cases the parents always suppose that they are undergoing agonies of mind, that their souls are being torn in twain, but what is their plight compared to that of their children? Searing of Souls Think of the vast number of boj’S and girls in this highly moral nation who are subjected to such soulsearing experiences as those small New Yorkers. Compelled to choose between father and mother, both beloved. Haled into court, their young hearts mangled by sensations of woe which their minds are too Immature to comprehend. Poor pitiful victims of our deadly determtj nation to “live our own lives and do | as we please.” Dare any man say that this experience will not darken their whole existence? Can they ever really forgive parents who will thus ruthlessly destroy their first ideals? I believe not. And why should they? In a marriage where there are children, it is the duty of father and mother to put them first. It does not matter so much that a man is made miserable or that hia dreams are dead. It does not matter that a woman finds that life has destroyed her illusions. But it docs matter tremendously that we give our growing children homes that are serene and peaceful, that we set them an example of decent behavior, of duties done, of trials nobly borne. Wailing Is Easy It is easy to wail for our lost happiness. It is the hardest thing in life to give up our dreams. But where our children’s future is concerned. can we insist that our wishes should come first? And these sorrowing little children of American divorce courts whose falling tears sound loudest in the courts of God. are the strongest evidence that with all of our new freedoms, our ideals are not those upon which to build a great nation. For no race can continue to develop that puts in a secondary pla* e its children's welfare.
