Slim, Long-Lined Black Dress Is Just Off the Boat

pp By GERTRUDE BAILEY k: Do you want to look as though you had just stepped off the boat from Paris? Then quickly get yourself a slim, long-lined black dress. No matter what they call it, viz. Molyneux “pencil straight”; Alix, “straight and narrow, long, thin diaphragm”; Schiaparelli, “clear cut, scanty as to skirt”; Patou, ‘narrow, slender, molded”; Chanel, “straighter cuts”; Piquet, ‘very narrow silhouette”; Rochas, “slim, severe”; Lelong, “supple, slender”; Paquin, “skirts are narrow”’—the Paris couturiers agree that the fitted formula, accenting slim waists, flat diaphragms, shaped busts longer by wearing your waistline and ‘caved in” tummies, 1s the fashion higher—a real Empire line turned in This weather is good for corn, ideal of the new season. under the bust, [put bad for babies; uncomfortable While the extreme expres- with no belt to |pather, because hot days and nights sion of this silhouette calls for show where the |are not the menaces they used to be very high necklines and long, real waistline is. in babydom.

in formality because of their jewelry trimming and the restrained and elegant accents of twisted pearls appearing as a necklace and waistline marker for the black crepe dress with soft front draping. Porcelain blue beads outline the curve of the neckline and the ends of the sleeves, at the same time controlling the flattering shirring on the dress shown seated. It doesn't matter whether the waistline of the slim dress is high, low or medium as long as it is the right waistline for your figure. If you have short legs you can make them appear

‘I Can't’ Is Wrong View as

To Take, Jane Tells Girl.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON (Second of a Series)

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, American Medical Journal * The thymus gland lies in the chest in front of the windpipe, bee tween the lungs and above the heart. For years there has been uncertainty as to the exact funce tion of this gland in life, and its nature is not yet fully understood, During the first period of growth the thymus gland and a small gland in the brain called the pineal gland are greatly concerned. The thymus gland is large during the first eight or nine months of life, after which it gradually gets smal« ler and finally disappears. If the gland becomes quite large, its situation is such that it may cause difficulty in breathing and in the circulation of the blood in

Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan, who will answer your questions in this column.

D> JANE JORDAN—I am discouraged and don’t know a remedy. I crave popularity but can’t acquire it. I read Dale Carnegie’s book on how tn make friends, but I didn't profit from it. My girl friend is very popular with both boys and girls and when I am with her I feel like the extra person. Imitate her? I wouldn't dare. She is the Sonja Henie type, while I resemble Miss Stanwyck. It would be awful if I mocked her.

I am told I am agrecable and intelligent, but you don't have to take my word for it. I am crazy about a very handsome boy but it's not mutual. I've made friendly advances but they don’t have any effect. I wish he would like me but he just doesn't, so I'll simply have to give up. Next year 1 am starting to a new school and want to

baby. Yet only a decade or two ago few formulas for baby food mentioned boiling the milk or scalding it. Condensed or evaporated milk is widely used now, whereas in years gone by their virtues were questioned. Pediatrists recommend them highly today.

Weaning Only in Emergencies

Now comes the question of weaning the nursing baby. Should it be done in hot weather? This depends cn circumstances, but each nursing babe should. have been trained to take a bottle a day, or even two, to get ready for the big break. It makes it easier to shift him over to his new diet when the time comes. But generally speaking, any sudden change had better wait for cooler days, un= less the physician recommends it. As for sun baths, by all means keep baby out of the sun on hot days. Or if he simply has to get his daily vitamins, put him out on the grass, on a sheet, for a few minutes at around 9 or 10 in the morning, or after. 4 in the afternoon. If he's old enough to toddle in a sun suit, make his junkets into the furnace

rays short and sweet and keep a

cver, Don't feed him tidbits indiscriminately. There are certain things besides his milk that a young baby may have, but only those extras that are part of his regimen. Hot weather is no time to try any baby out on tasty things from the big table. Let well enough alone and don't experiment. Never take him motor riding in the heat after he 1as been fed.

Mother's Judgment A mother's good judgment is never put to it so vigorously as dur= ing July and August. If baby is doing well, she will hesitate to in-

vite trouble. If he isn’t, then she knows not to rely upon her own

judgment too long, and will seek |

infants, Affects Skin Texture If the thymus gland continues to secrete beyond the time when it should have stopped, the skin of the person concerned becomes soft, smooth and velvety, It develops what is called a “peaches and cream” complexion, If it is a boy and he becomes a man, he may find that it is unnecessary for him to shave or perhaps to shave only once a week. Persons with persistent thymus glands appear younger than they are; the hair over the body is scanty, and the teeth rather a bluish-white in color. Moreover, they may have a low blood pressure and be easily fatigued. Some investigators believe that the thymus may control, to some extent, the mental makeup as well; namely, that those whose thymus action persists remain child-like, | self-centered and simple in | mental processes and Initiative, whereas those whose thymus disappears too soon become easily aroused to anger and are resentful,
