Parents Are Better Than Ever Before BY MR S . WALTER FERGUSON In spite of the fact that we never have had so much free advice about rearing children, so many minds siudving our problems, or so much research into the child nature, parents, we are told, are worse than they ever have been before. T..cy are the greatest failures of the modern world. Thunders from platforms and pulpit assure us that the main thing wrong with the country is father and mother. An avalanche of literature deluges us and a voice perpetually is crying, "Wolf, wolf." Parents, as we know* are just plain folks. This is the reason why we can't find perfect ones. Nor will the ardors of reform improve us. You can't have good parents until you have a good citizenship. Some people seem to believe, however. that when a woman has had a child she undergoes a marvelous transformation and becomes a different creature. Parenthood does add responsibilities. I'll admit. But to the person who does nbt take to responsibility, what's a baby more or less?

Parents are Better. I believe that parents arc better today than they have ever been before. They have more sense about feeding and caring for their children. They take their job seriously and most of them are concerned gravely about the future of their families. In those olden times which we praise so warmly, children were born in droves and reared by good luck. In the household which boasted a dozen or fifteen, how' could a mother give personal attention to each? She did not. They grew up as best they could. But. we hear only of the few who made good and not of the thousands who did not. Children are not like they used to be. But. then, neither arc men and women, customs, travel, dress, amusements, or social activities. Puzzle for Mother. The modern mother finds herself in her present quandary, 1 am convinced. chiefly because so many people are telling her what to do. And she is confronted by a great fear. She hears from all sides that she is fading, that she can't help but fail. Thus she is taught to anticipate not success, but failure. Why not encourage the modern mother as much as tlie modern child? She needs some boosting instead of so many knocks.

SURPRISED AT WAY IT HELPED Cardui Taken By a Missouri Lady Who Had Been Weak, Nervous. “My health has been much better since I began taking Cardui." declares Miss Kate Grisham. 544 Maple Street. Poplar Bluff. Mo. Miss Grisham tells below how she had suffered: "I was weak and nervous, felt tired and achy all the time. My back and limbs ached so badly I could hardly stay on my feet long enough to cook a meal. “I spent most of my time resting and trying to get enough energy to do my work. "I worried along, trying first one thing and then another I seemed to get no better. “One day I read about Cardui and thought I would try it. I got a bottle and was surprised the way it helped me. I got another bottle. My strength began to come back and I gained in weight. I am less nervous. I can do my work and no longer feel those tired, achy pains." Cardui is a reconstructive tonic, extracted from herbs of long-known medicinal value.

CPORTS occupy such an allimportant place in British life that it. is not surprising we find in England sports wear developed to a high poinl ot attractiveness and practicability. A recent visit to London convinced us that silks and especially the tussore silks, will be very popular for summer wear of this type. The sheer wool fabrics are also strong, and one enticing outfit of ondamoussa had a short flared skirt in an off-white tint and a jumper of canary yellow. At the hipline was embroidered a whole row of teeny tennis rackets in black and green yarn. a it u nOME of the models conserve the straight line dear to the Paris creators of sports wear by using myriad pleats in the skirt, while others had a flared skirt of great width. These latter are particularly popular, more especially because the absence ot pleats means much less frequent trips to the cleaners.. Very short jackets of fuzzy woolen material are popular for wear with these sport dresses. One of these was of white angora, with crochet edging and wool embroidery on the pockets. A matching white beret with a bit of the crochet completed •he outfit. Berets are rery popular, especially in plaids, and many of them have matching sports socks, a very attractive combination. n a tt ELEGANTLY and languidly, yet with a determination typically Parisian, the Haute Couture has turned its attention to sports wear of a truly sports type—that is, lines and styles for shooting, for polo, etc. The polo clothes are almost exactly like the suits worn by men for this sport. The white helmet, the knitted shirt and vest or the plain white riding shirt, and the white or tan breeches and field boots are all parts of this outfit. a a tt Fashion French cnir (queer) leather. Cuivre (kweevre) copper. Cuiotte (keu-lote) bloomers, knichers. k tt a A perfect example of Redfern elegance is expressed in the beige georgette gown illustrated for you today. It is so simply trimmed with insertions of matching taffeta! BUT. the taffeta is entirely cut out to give the effect of an open-work design. and the cut-out part is outlined in beads. Lovely? b b b Smart Beach Coat*! Last week we told you how to make smart and different bathing garb. This week send a two-cent stamp to the Dare Department of The Times for an illustrated leaflet which tells you how to make the Dare bloomers. B B ft Au Bo voir!
