wear one. whose collection of new summer L. S. Ayres & Co. Not long ago Mr. Wragge dropped into the Grand Central Art Gallerjes in New York where he spotted an exhibit of water colors painted in and about Gloucester, Mass., by Gordon Grant, one of the leading walter color artists of the country. The still water result is the B. H. Wragge Gloucester Water Color collection. Mr. Grant’s love of seas and ships and fishing ports is embodied in both the colors and the fabrics of the collection. The colors are as cool and crisp as salt spray or as blithe and bright as a summer day on the Cape. They include seafoam, a soft sea green; cork, shingle tan, cove blue, oilskin yellow, jib white, village green, lobster pot red and skipper navy. The fabrics, too, catch the spirit of Gloucester. For jackets and skirts there is Gloucester weave. For tailored sporting prints, there i: fishbone. A soft dress print is called seaweed and another is the mermaid flower print. A solid rayon crepe is named starfish. Rounding out the collection are a flying geese print, a Cape Ann plaid and canvas cloth. SHOPLOOKING about town reveals loads of bright ideas for making the summer bearable. One of them—to be found in H. P. Wasson Co.’s I. Miller shoe department—is a shoe designed to be a “sole” mate for the simmering season’s cotton clothes. It’s “cotton crochet” — an aircooled mesh of 100 per cent cotton, lightly trimmed with leather. In open-toed pumps with medium or high heels or in comfortable oxfords, also open-toed, it appears in navy, brown or black and goes beautifully with tailored cotton costumes for street wear or with informal vacation clothes.
THERE WAS NYLON hcsiery, then nylon lingerie, then nylon brush bristles — and now, nylon thread, embodying all the virtues of durability characteristic of nylon in its other forms. It comes in 40 shades and Ayres’ has it. Five cents a spool. A SPRING TRANSFORMATION can be worked on that pair of “wedgie” shops left over from last summer if ore has grown tired of them. They can be rebuilt with regulation heels, steel shanks and completely new soles for about $3 or $3.50 a pair. Worth it if they have very many “miles” left in them. Any of the Roy E. Steele shoe repairing establishments will take care of the job neatly.
FIRST COUSIN to the family of bath towels embroidered with “His” and “Her” inscriptions and the bars of soap graven with “Mr.” and “Mrs.” is a set of twin bedspreads making its appearance in Ayres’ second floor bedding department. Made of crinkly white cotton— perfect for summer decorative schemes—the spreads are piped with scarlet cotton. Smack in the middle of one, in neat scarlet applique, is the word “You.” The second an« nounces briefly, “Me.”

Children, Strength of the
By DR. RICHARD ARTHUR BOLT
Director, Cleveland Child Health Association
DESPITE THE ADVANCES of modern preventive medicine, infectious diseases remain a grave menace to child health. Children are born with a considerable degree of immunity against such troubles; but
this soon wears off, and mother may have a case of measles or mumps on her hands. While these diseases usually are not fatal, they leave many children weakened and with defective hearing, poor eyesight or malnutrition. This does not mean that parents should fret too much over whether Mary or Johnny gets the measles, whooping cough or other so-called children’s disease, but by all means avoid exposing them to such maladies as long as possible. Diphtheria and smallpox are something else. They are extremely dangerous, and parents should have the child immunized against diphtheria before the ninth month and vaccinated against smallpox during the first year. Some doctors advise immunization against scarlet fever and whooping cough. There is merit in both, but these measures have not been accepted generally by the public. It is a fact, however, that where immunization has been carried out systematically in institutions, scarlet fever has not been so prevalent. If it does appear, it shows up in a milder form.

If you are an expectant mother it is doubly important that you should be tested again. Such a test may save your child from being born blind or with other afflictions resulting from syphilis.
