TRY SERVING BABY CEREAL WITH CUSTARD By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED The picture of the roly poly baby with a bib under his fat chin, and spooning up his porridge is an appealing one. It is so health provoking and seems so typical of babyhood. Naturally, it seems all wrong when some particular youngster turns up her nose at porridge and will have none or little of it. "My 16 months old daughter won't eat farina or cornmeal mush," writes Mrs.

E. P. "She will take a little oatmeal. Can you tell me some ways to fix these that might be appetizing to her? She refuses mashed carrots but will eat them in stew. "She cannot talk yet but only says "Mamma" and "byebye." She has fallen a few times and always on her head.

I wonder if this is why she can't talk? She walked at 11 months and has all of her teeth." Since she enjoys oatmeal why worry about the other cereals. You may try using them with a custard and baked as a pudding. Flavor with lemon or vanilla and try rais. ins or dates with them. Most boxes of cereal contain good recipes for these.

Bananas, ripe and strained, oaked or raw, make a good substitute for cereal at the morning or night meal. I should make sure that her hearing is acute. Also, I imagine you haven't counted her teeth carefully enough. It would be most unusual for a child of 16 months to have 20 teeth which constitutes the first set. The more usual number be 12 at this age.

Unless she has skull fracture the head bumpings children get almost daily would have no effect upon her speech development. REAL TEST OF ANY RULE IS, DOES IT WORK? By ANGELO PATRI "I feed mine spinach every other day. Its good for them. They have their evening meal before we have ours and are in bed by the time we sit down at table. That leaves us in quiet, and goodness knows we need it." "I can't get my children to eat so much spinach.

They eat it once a week, but no more. We can't put Jackie to bed so early. He doesn't sleep, and that keeps the baby wake, so we let him sit at table with us." "But my doctor says that spinach is necessary for their health. And they must go to bed so they get 12 hours rest. I wouldn't think of going against what he says is good for them.

I'd have it on my conscience. Wouldn't "If I thought it was bad for the children, yes." "But it is bad. The doctor says so. Any baby book will tell you." Now the baby books and the specialists must speak in general terms. Spinach is good for children.

(So are other green vegetables.) Children of tender years need twelve hours sleep. (Some do not.) The book could not talk that way. It must be positive. Nor can the specialist, in print, write in the exceptions. He deals with them as he meets them.

He lays down the general principle, or rule, and depends upon the common sense of his readers for the rest. No two children are alike. It must be then that no rule covers every case. The test of the rule is, "Does it work?" It is a good idea to feed green vegetables to children. If one child, the odd one, refuses with consistent regularity to accept the vegetables we offer, try other vegetables and see what happens.

Change the kind. That changes the flavor, the color, and the child's attitude. A certain school is fine for one child and his parents are loud in its praise, but it failed with another child. There is no blame servance of Armistice day these readings were given: Mrs. Harry Marshall, "America Mine," Virginia Summers, "American Loyalty," J.

The scheme, good in itself, did not work for that child. It did for the other. So it goes down the long line of children's experiences. Clothes, diet, tastes, education, must each be adapted to the children, and the children adapted in turn to them.

It came to me with a hair-cut. Things are unquestionably getting better economically. We've proof of it in such things as increased car loadings and steel production up to the highest point since 1929. But I have a different kind of proof. The hairdresser supplied it.

They're Having Treatments and Facials "There's no doubt at all, he said, "that things are getting much better. We feel it here. More permanents? Yes, some, but not so much that. we always had about all we could handle right through the depression. But people are having facials and treatments.

The sort of things they could do without. A permanent -you've got to have that. But treatments and facialsthose you can get by without, but you have them if you can share the money, and now they are having them again." And there you have it, a straw that certainly shows as definitely which way the wind blows as ten thousand extra cars on the weekly reckoning of car loadings, or five per cent extra capacity in the country's steel mills. People Had to Have People had, to have permanents. That in itself is a whole economic commentary.

Through five years of serious depression the number of permanents given per year mounted steadily. That means that in spite of major mai-adjustment there was still enough so that permanents be added to money, the list of the necessities of life in millions of homes. Indeed, one hairdresser told that she knows that one of her clients, and suspects that two, were on the relief. It is true that our civilization has failed in many ways in matters of production and distribution. It we could produce wisely without overlapping and distribute fairly, with our scientific knowledge and our natural wealth and our mechanical possibilities, we could certainly do away with poverty.

But isn't it something that even as things are, with our higgledy. piggledy production and our uncertain distribution, we can still produce enough wealth so that permanents can be necessity in heart of a depression, and with the first beginning of the swing out of it, that facials and hair treatments can be added to the necessities of life? Pattern 4166 is one of Anne Adams' flattering afternoon dresses with slenderizing lines. The dainty jabot can be of soft lace or of the same material as the dress, and the sleeve cuffs may be long or short. The skirt flares smartly in the latest vogue for fullness. Indulge in your love for a favorite color in a dull finished satin, crepe, synthetic or semi-sheer fabric.

Available in sizes 36. 38. 40, 42, 44, 46. and 48. Size 36 takes yards of 39-inch fabric and one-half yard contrasting.

That is the old Puritan fear of weakening the spirit by adjusting its burden to its powers. The real test of any rule has always been, it, does it work?"
