By CECILY BROWNSTONE A.P Food Editor IT'S BABY'S TURN! National Baby Week starts today to remind mothers to keep our youngest generation well fed. Mothers are getting younger all the a few tips may be in order.

About 20 years ago, according to one of those surveys that are always cropping up, most mothers of first babies were between 20 and 24 years old. Nowadays a lot of mothers of first babies show up as being 19 years or even younger. Relax One piece of advice from the experts is easy for most young mothers to follow: relax while you're feeding Baby and don't rush him. Snjoy giving him his food and he'll probably enjoy eating it. Baby's mealtime should in no way resemble an obstacle race.

Don't worry if Baby misses a meal now and again. He's got more sense than some grownups eat when he's hungry if his parents don't start getting him mad by forcing food down him. Tepid Food Although epicures may Insist that hot foods be served very hot and cold foods be served very cold, Baby has his own ideas about temperatures. He likes both his liquids and solids on the tepid too hot nor too cold. Prepared baby vegetables, fruits, wonderful everyday help to a young mother who may have boundless energy but not enough time for all the things there are to do in this wide and wonderful world.

Then, too, when Baby is left with grandparents, cousins, sisters or aunts, Mother can bring along his foods in handy cans or she won't have to worry about what fond relatives are feeding him. Teething Biscuits When your doctor says Baby is ready, you can change over from the finely strained foods to the evenly chopped junior foods that are also in handy containers on grocers' shelves. Baby will need to learn to use his new what are they there some of the junior foods will encourage him to do so. And don't forget about teething biscuits. They come in packages, too, and Modern Etiquette By ROBEETA LEE Q.

Is it proper for a girl who is engaged to be married to give her fiance a watch or ring for his birthday? A. Yes. Q. Is it proper to fill water glasses for the dinner table to their brims? A. No; neither water nor beverage glasses should 'ever be more than three-fourths full.

Q. Is it proper to guess at a name if one has not heard it distinctly during an introduction? A. No; it is much better to ask and be correct. The proper thing to say would be: "I'm very sorry, but I did not hear your name clearly," or, "Did Mr. Johnson call you Miss Ferris? I'm sorry, but I did not hear very well." Q.

Is it proper for friends, who are living in a distant city, to send'a wedding gift of money to the newlyweds? A. This is quite all right.

Teething biscuits have another value, too: they're "finger foods" that start Baby off on the road to feeding himself.

Don't Despair An important adjunct to eating is sitting. Make sure Baby's chair is comfortable. There should be enough room between the feeding tray of his chair and his body to allow him to move freely. Don't try to make Baby follow Emily Post. Praise him when he manages spoon and cup well; be patient when he messes.

It's quite an achievement to get a spoon from a plate to a mouth. Babies care about eating stylishly, and they're totally dis-interested in what the neighbors think. Don't despair when there's more applesauce spread over Baby's eyes, nose and ears than has gone into his mouth. One of these days he'll discover the tricks of the trade.

Gene Kelly's Wife Reaches Star dam in New Movie By ALINE MOSBY HOLLYWOOD, OP) Betsy Blair, an actress noted chiefly as Gene Kelly's wife, at last has reached her own of her admittedly "plain, ordinary" face. The red-haired actress and Ernest Borgnine, sadistic ser- jeant in "From Here to Eternity," have emerged as the top screen romancers of the year. They portrayed two lonely, non-beautiful souls who find love in "Marty." The film, produced by Harold Hecht and actor Burt Lancaster, had no big-name stars nor staggering budget, but won enthusis- tic cheers from critics and ticket- buyers. First Interview Miss Blair sat down to her first interview as a new star and said honestly "I'm a plain, ordinary- looking human being." "I never would have been considered for the role if I were a Marilyn Monroe type," she said.

"I've never tried being that way because I don't feel like that. I don't feel that's what womanhood is. Besides, I don't think the movies should be some fairyland." Toothpaste Ad In most films the heroine is beautiful, perfectly groomed and poised, and the hero is a walking toothpaste ad. But in "Marty" the characters are "homely," as the critics called them, or "real" as Miss Blair prefers. "It's flattering to have a role that's a human being," she said, "and not just a flat picture.

"Nobody looks like those beautiful people in the movies. Even those people in the movies aren't like that off the screen! Except perhaps Elizabeth Taylor. She always looks beautiful, but she's rare." It took Betsy 15 years of acting to reach acclaim. She began as a Broadway dancer and grad- Unusual Grounds ST. JOSEPH, Mich.

Her husband is serving a prison term for forgery. uated to starring stage roles. But in Hollywood, after becoming Mrs. Gene Kelly, she won only supporting character parts. "Most people here think I really don't care about working but I do," she said.

"I suppose being Gene's wife is somewhat of a handicap, but I don't care." To France Betsy has long hair, worn in a school-girl style. She wore a simple jumper and blouse when interviewed and no make-up. She looked like Julie Harris in "East of Eden," and said, "everybody tells me that," "Marty" has brought her a new career. As we spoke she packed to join Kelly in France for the Cannes Film Festival where her film will be shown. Then, she'll star in a French film.

"And I had to turn down offers here to go," she beamed "I suppose for a while the offers will be to play 29-year-old spinsters, but I don't care."
