The TCI If reduced to plain terminology, was fourth annual Moonlight Sail of the Junior Hostesses.

The S. S. "Gty of Keansturg was the sturdy vessel which bore the lively throng out to the broad bosom of the Majestic.

On the bottom, there was a cafeteria which bummed merrily. On the second, the Muse of Terpsichore wu rendered whole hearted tribute to the accompaniment of that excellent musical aggregation beaded by none other than C. Luckyetn (Lucky) Roberts. On the third, those who brought their own (lunches, we mean) spread themselves and on the fourth, oh well, you can guess. The joy ship nosed out into the stream and headed south.

CHILDREN AND THE SUMMER HEAT Vacation days and summer heat furnish an age old problem for parents where the welfare of their children is concerned. The small child, unfortunately, suffers more acutely from the heat than the adult.

Parents who are mindful of this take much precaution in the selection of clothing, food and play activities. In the first place the choice of rlothinir is extreme import ance. They must be few, light, and airy; the wide varety of play suitt far both bovi and girls help a great deal in solving the problem, however, many of these little garments are designed incorrectly for health. The two piece play suits with elastic about the waist should never be used, nor should elastic be used above the knees. Children' should have full play of their bodies and there must be no.

The diet should also be watched a little more than usual this sea on of the year.

The problem of choosing nourishing food, heavy, enough to take care of the long continuous activity and yet light enough to cope with the summer, heat, is before us. Such foods should consist of dry cereal, plenty of fresh fruit, green vegetables and milk. Beef and pork should be excluded almost entirely fish and chicken with occasional serv. ings of lamb may be given once a day. No child needs meat more than once a day when milk and vegetables are available.

Children play all day Ions on the streets, in the parks and in the Hey ways, but rarely do we, RAY THIRTEEN find this play directed. It is a fact that undirected play during extreme hot weather is disastrous. The child is not capable of discriminating between the strenuous and less strenuous games. In, the hottest part of the day he will choose activities which exhaust him too greatly when he might enjoy a lighter game just as well. Parents and adults' sit calmly watching with never an attempt at It would be so! easy for one to suggest to little Jimmy, the leader of the group, that they play 'London now instead of "Bull Fights.

Milk in the ume amount is needed. On a hot day nothing is more refeshing than a cool glass of milk or fruit juke. Remember, these should he drunk slowly, especially after work or play.

The cool desserts like ke cream and etrstards are refreshing and healthful. Salads of vegetables of all lands fur nish certain food necessities. Emp'ca sixe the tomato. When the child is less active than during cool weather, cut down on the meat fish, bacon, and potato, but only slightly. He is still hence in need of building materials and energy.

But don't reduce the milk, fruits, fresh vegetables, bread and butter, or the occasional egg. Allow hire to drink all the cool water he wants, but prohibit fast drinking of ice water. As an extra precaution be sure that your ice is from a pure source. As a matter of fact it is well to' go stow on ice water, hvoring in stead water that has been cooled. CIUUD than women.
