So when the over-fed child exerts his prerogative and won't eat all that is put before him. our counter move should be to decrease either the number of his meals or the amount of food offered at each meal. One of the newer practises embraced by baby specialists is to provide a generous amount of formula and allow the baby to take what he chooses of it.

We know that it is hard to determine exactly how much nourishment the nursing baby imbibes even though we weigh before and after a nursing. The richness of the milk, the ease with which it can be had, all make such a difference in the amount a child will take at any given feeding, that we are unable to say that every child of such and such age needs so and so many ounces of milk. In an effort to duplicate the condition which exists for nursing baby as much milk is offered at any feeding as the baby will be likely to want. Then we put it up to the baby to stop when he is full. He may take four ounces at one feeding and seven at another.

He knows better than we when his stomach is comfortably full and when he wants nothing more. If we allow him to decide when he wants to stop eating, whether he is a nursing or a bottle baby, we should never be bothered with the problem of over-feeding. Neither should we be troubled with ap-petitelessness which attacks the child who is forced to eat just so man3- ounces at each meal, whether E. Longsdorff TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE Some Talkative; Others Reticent By RUTH CAMERON "She's one of those people that you always know what they are doing." I heard someone described that way yesterday. The describer went on to illustrate.

"You know, they are always talking about Just now she's on a diet and you can't meet her without hearing about it. She lost two pounds in a week. Or she's so hungry. You say, 'How are the way you do, and meaning anything and she tells you she's eaten so much lettuce she feels like a canary. Or maybe it's a rabbit.

Oh yes, she's awfully amusing lots of times. I don't mean to run her down. I just mean she's one of those people who are so full of what they are doing that you never can help knowing about it. You know, some people are like that and some aren't. I do.

Though I hadn't thought of it before. The people who are like that just naturally assume that the world is interested in whatever their preoccupation for the moment is. They are in a duplicate tournament. You hear all their adventures, all about the funny people they met, all about the time the tables got mixed up and they had to play until 1 o'clock, all about the plans for the next one. They are collecting for some charity.

And presently you know-all the ins and outs of that. What different people say when they are asked to give. The number of times they had to call to find one woman in, how the whole thing is organized and so forth. They are taking a course in the use of English and presently almost any group they are in finds itself discussing the right and wrong pronunciation and courses in general. I met a woman in town the other day who is the opposite of this type.

We talked on various subjects. A week later I met one of her friends and she said, "Isn't it grand that Nita is going to take her trip around the world at last? She has been studying it out for a month until she worked out just where she wanted to go. She's all set to go next week." And she had never mentioned it! That's the opposite type. Often the people who tell you about what they are doing, dress Team This Coat and Frock inch fabric. Anne Adams dress pattern 4002 is available in sizes 12 to 40.

A washable, rustic, linen-like material of spun rayon and cotton was shown in different colors, in interchangeable clothes. A deep rose lumber-jacket was added to a yellow-green shirt and royal blue tailored slacks for sports year.

The same jacket and shirt were then combined with a soft green, gored skirt for specator wear. By further slight-of-hand, the same rose jacket looked entirely different when worn with a dusty pink afternoon frock, again of the same material, with full circular skirt and white ric-rac trim. The news-making combination of gold and black was shown in an all-purpose outfit. The dress was of a crispy spun rayon hopsacking in yellow with black scroll print. Shiny black buttons gave a double-breasted effect, and black patent leather accessories completed the ensemble.

They have four children: PROTECTION, BUT NOT SUPPRESSION IS BEST COURSE By ANGELO PATRI Parents and teachers should say Yes as often as possible when children ask for privileges. There are times when No is imperative, but if the children have been well-trained and wisely, these will be few. One ought to stretch a point to make the desired privilege possible, especially when adolescent boys and girls are concerned. These young people want to go to dances.

Of course they would prefer that these were held at night, that they could attend them without supervision, and use the family cars. They should be met halfway. If they have been trained to know that they cannot have absolute freedom in these matters they will accept restrictions that are made in a spirit of understanding. Prohibition is bad. It goes against nature, and that is always a losing battle.

It stirs rebellion because these youngsters feel mature. It leads to cheating, and that is the beginning of tragedy. Say Yes if possible, and in dealing with these younger adolescents use persuasion, reason and good-will instead of authority. Helen is an only child adored live in Santa Ana, now. They are Mrs.

She is just 16, very pretty, a good dancer, popular with the boys. Father and mother are afraid for her, but instead of training her to take care of her self, take the cloister attitude of no boys, no parties, no evening affairs. One day Helen asked to be allowed to spend the night with a school mate, and, after much coaxing, gained permission. The real occasion was a dance at the Inn for which Helen knew she could not get permission. She and her friend, attended by two boys went to the dance and stayed un til "lights out." It was a lovely night, so they took a ride.

The machine stalled far from a house and it was six in the morning before they got help. It would be after eight when they reached home, and that would mean plen ty of trouble, so they took to the road again, putting off the evil hour. Imagine the state of their par ents by this time. When their money gave out the children tele phoned for help and were brought home. Helen's parents were hys- ter was utterly depraved.

Your hair-do, your feet, your hands, even your underwear is pitilessly revealed to the public gaze and criticism. If you're one of the carefree sisterhood, inclined to breeze blissfully through life, thinking in terms of "I'll just roll up the ends, my hat will cover the rest I haven't time for a manicure, I'll keep my gloves on the deuce with that hole in my stocking, it won't you'll have to reform and no fooling.

Let's begin with the head and work down. Many of the new hats you could put in your eye, they're that small. Talbot shows tiny Watteau disks in natural leghorn, held in place with narrow black velvet ribbon, and little shapes just covering the top of the head and tied under the chin with veils. Then there are lots and lots of little off-the-face- bonnets. Chanel, Talbot, and Bruyere show these.

Many brims are wide but, generally speaking, all crowns are very small and usually perched precariously over one eye, and expose a mighty lot of hair. All of Schiaparelli's have chiffon or ribbon streamers, and all Paris shows clouds of veiling shooting in every direction, which serves to call even more attention to your coiffure. As for your hands, be warned in advance. For your spring suit Paris is rec ommending gloves with leather palms and crocheted backs. Maggy Rouff sponsors these particularly Later on you will probably want one or two pairs ofjhe lovely new transparent organza gloves, so smart with prints or sheers.

For all the romantic evening dresses about, Crocheted mitts are almost a must. Better think twice next time you're tempted to let that chipped polish ride for a day or two. Your feet will be out defi nitely. You may have a nice thick platform sole under them, but there'll be precious little over them. Toes are cut-out, heels are cut-out.

vamps are cut-out or elaborately perforated, even in walking shoes. There is a stunning tailored pump about, made of kidskin with a fine lattice work up the front of the vamp, and a striking heel of stripes of patent and suede.
