CHILDHOOD IS VANISHING,
M'LISS MAKES DISCOVERY
Gi'own-Ups Indulging in Juvenile Amusements,
While Kids Have Youth Snatched From
Them By Incautious Parents.
IT HAB become t'he habit recently to decry tlio fact that there are no grand,
mothers any more, arid thoso of us who remember some of our happiest child
hood days as being thoso wo spent In the company of our white-haired, bo
epcctncled grandmother, vwho had tho softest lap In tho world and tho sweetest
goodies In her reticule, lament her going greatly.
ftut wo Aro threatened with an even greater deprivation. Soon there will bo
no children, I do not mean that I havo becomo a belated follower In tho ranks
of those who hold that raco sulcldo will ultimately cnuso the entlro extinction of
the species Juvenllo. I suppose children will contlnuo being born until tho end
6f time, but somehow or other they don't stay ypung for any length of time.
They're not gottlng a squaro deal.
People who qnw that poetically beautiful play, "Marie Odlto," hurled harsh
criticism at tho author for making tho young herolno so adorably Innocent,
"But sho was 18," I heard ono woman remark. "It would havo beon Impossible
for her to have been kept In such a stato of ignorance."
It would have been, indeed, had tho tlmo and place of that play been 1916
and United States. Every day the training that wo givo our children, tho amuse
ments that wo provide for them, tho conversation that wo lot them hear and tho
habits that wo permit them to form, nro taking from them more and more that
delightful somothlng which only youth Itself has to give, nnd which can no more
be Imitated than can the dawn of day or tho trill of tho lark.
On Saturday afternoon at tho nusslan Ballet there wero four little children
tn n box chaperoned by a woman who seemed to bo tho mother of two of them.
They ranged In ago, I should say, from 4 to 7 years of age.
Now, ono of tho presentations was that sensuous spectaclo "Cleopatra." An
afternoon's ontertalnmont less suited for a child could scarcely have been chosen.
Tho children In the box watched It precociously as children witness everything
nowadays, but It would bo too pessimistic, Indeed, to say that they compre
hended It.
However, when aftor many gyrations and contortions, Adolpti Bolm as Amoun
had caught Cleopatra's fancy, and was invited by tho lady to eomo to tho divan
and make love to her, which ho did, though ho dlod for It. a childish troblo pierced
the darkness of tho houso:
"Mamma, that must bo tho lady's husband, aftor all!"
Mamma's reproof was made In tones too well-bred and restrained to bo heard
by aught than the young ono to whom It wns addressed. But It would havo been
Interesting to know Just how sho met tho occasion on suoh short notice.
If but Uttio censorship is exercised oer tho amusements that American
children see, any librarian will also tell you that tho parental Jurisdiction over
the books that tho youngsters read Is Just as negligible.
In fact, grown-ups seem to have "snitched" many of tho enjoyments of youth.
Tlmo was when tho kids read "Alico in Wonderland" and tho nursery Jingles. They
used to skato, also, and to coast.. Now they aro busy getting tholr little minds
cultivated with stuff that could well wait a decado or so whllo their mammas and
their grandmammas disport themselves on tho rink and tho ico and read tho
Carroll books.
Other times, other mannors, In truth, but In the meantime let us not mako
cf tho young ones "doddering old Idiots at 5," as Qllbort would havo phra30d It.

TAKE OFF YOUR WOOLENS WHEN YOU
FEEL LIKE IT, IS THE RIGHT WAY
By WILLIAM
WE AltE aproachlng once inoro thni
momentous perennial problem, to wit,
How soon Is It safo to take off our winter
underwear?
The old, tried and obviously Ineffica
cious, rule was to keep good and warm.
The air of the living room nnd the bed
room was kept good and warm all winter,
people kept their bodies good and warm
by wearing lots of clothes, flannel, cotton,
layer upon layer, like an onion; they kept
their feet good and warm by wearing their
goloshes whenever It threatened to turn
stormy; and they kept their throats good
and warm with mufflers, the chests with
chest protectors (mcdlcatedD. and their
stomachs with flannel bandages, their
livers with liver pads. etc. to the bitter
end which was mostly "decline," alias
consumption.
The modern rule, In harmony with en
lightenment conoernlng hygiene. Is radi
cally different. Nowadays the dictum Is
this: Keep cool and well the good (and
warm) dlo young.
Well, how soon may we take 'em off
with safety?
Just as soon bb the law will allow.
Just as soon as you think you will bo
more comfortable with them off. There
Is one baslo law of hygiene which has
never yet been seriously questioned:
Whatever Is physically comfortable Is
healthful. JJo ono ever gained anything
by being too warm or too cold. All our
Instincts Impel us to avoid being too cold,
but through ages of benighted practice
we have come to Imagine that being too
warm Isn't such a bad thing as Instinct
would have us think, and so we stand
for a lot of unhealthful discomfort, Just
beoause the "old women" advise it,
Bluebird Parasols
"Bluebirds for happiness," says the
spring parasol designer, and right away
plans the loveliest of summer novelties.
This Is a smart clel-blue parasol, with an
Ivory handle. Inside are three lifelike
bluebirds, painted In water color, or car
ried out In applique silk motifs. A tiny
ruffle of coral moire gives a note of flame
to the tip of the shade and corresponds
with the silk cord on the handle. The ma
jority of the new parasols are odd shapes
pagoda, barrel and Japanese in fact,
anything but the conventional parasol
shape.
Applique ribbons are used around 'he
edge of many of the newer Imported
models. Another favorite Is tho ostrich
edge. The latter Is very smart, being a
curly rim of feathers about two Inches
wide, Burroundlng the brim of the para
sol. It may ba of self or In contrasting
tones.
Utilizing Left-Overs
Casserole of beef Is a good way to use
up the remains of a cold roast. Cut the
lean meat up Into cubes, removing all fat
and tough pieces. Break a quarter pound
of macaroni Into small pieces, wash In
several waters, cook In salted water until
tender and drain. Add gravy from left
over Btewed tomatoes or add a few toma
toes to some gravy. Put alternate layers
of macaroni and meat In the casserole,
pouring gravy and tomatoes over each
meat layer, and topping the whole with
breadcrumbs. Allow one pint of gravy
to each cupful of meat.
Odd Dessert
A cup and a half of milk, boiled with
vanilla pod, and 2 ounces of sugar, should
be added to a package of plain white
geUtlne, unfavored. Then stir the yoika
of two egip Into the mixture, turn Into
a pan on the fire and allow It to remain
until the gelatine has softened enough to
become cJuito thick. Strain welL The
chilled dessert should be served ytth
whipped, tttsja and berrlu,
4&fjr PHr B
BRADY, M. D.
Personally, we like to be warm Just like
other folks, but wo havo a cowardly fear
of being too wnrmly dressed or occupying
a too warmly heated room. Knowing that
too much heat ruins tho health, that oor
drcsslng reduces tho natural resistance to
tho respiratory Infections, wo Just dodgo
nil these factors of disease whenevor we
can. As to taking 'cm off early, no don't
do that, becauso wo never put 'em on In
the fall. Wo wear light, knitted wool-nnd-siik
for about eight months In the year,
for comfort.
Off with 'em, then, Just as soon as they
begin to be a burden.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Eycstrnin Question
A veritnble shower of letters came In
response to our request for the stories of
readers who had had experience In wear
ing glasses for the purpose of rellovlng
headaches. Wo gather this: That much
depends upon the scientific care with
which the doctor determines the patient's
needs, and that many disappointments aro
attributable to failure to use a mydriatic
In the eye to temporarily relax tho
patient's unconscious strain.
How Much Water to Drink
Can one drink too much cold water?
What Is your advice about the dally
quantity?
Answer Ono rarely can drink too much
cold water. Wo think every adult needs
at least seven or eight glasses of water
dally, other than that taken with food.
But never ice cold. Drink when you are
thirsty.
About Linings
If you are planning your spring BUlt
nnd what woman Isn't planning one right
at this very moment? be sure to give
minute attention to that Important de
tail, the lining. The day has gone by
when the smallest portion of a woman's
toilet Is unnoticed by her feminine ac
quaintances. So don't consider your lin
ing as secondary It may be the only
note of distinction on an otherwise plain
tallleur of navy serge or gaberdlno.
A word to the wise about linings, too,
will not be amiss. Ono large manufac
turer, who makes his observations from
the demand he Is called upon to supply,
says that dark linings are not reliable,
unless they como from foreign markets.
Many of the stores refuse to guarantee
that the most expensive home-dyed lining
will not crock or run.
No woman would care to run the risk
of having an expensive blouse ruined by
an avoidable mistake, so the demand for
light linings is the result Light grays,
tans, white, and the many flowered de
signs in light colorings are substituted for
the dark linings, with no loss of style. A
whisper from the markets says that this
will cause a shortage for fall, so It be
hooves every woman who hopes to have
a spring suit to take a timely warning.

EXPERTS DOUBT SWISS
INVENTOR HAS FOUND
SYNTHETIC DIAMOND
Leading Jewelers and Gem Mer
chants Not Disturbed by ,
Geneva Claim by Way
of Paris
THEY "NEVER SAW ONE"
Not Possible for Scientists to Produce
Them, Say Sovornl Philadelphia
Dealers
The announcement from Paris of the
dlscoery of a method of producing syn
thetic diamonds by tho Geneva Laboratory
of Inorganic Chemistry doesn't seem to
worry leading Jewelers nnd diamond mer
i hntits of Phlli delphla.
The Geneva Tribune, referring to the
imported discovery, says that, In tho resi
due formed In tho separation of carbonic
iinliyilildes In tho form of snow by chloro
phvlons pyridine In solution and other ni
trous orgnnlc liquids, freo carbons of
varying weights have been found, very
hnrd nnd heavy white tetrnhedrat and
octohodral crystals which burned without
leaving nBhes
At the Tranklln Institute, South 7th
street. It wan raid today that In 1013 M.
i: do Bolsmann, a Paris engineer, had
produced by means of nn elcctrlo furnace
several minute microscopic crystals vhlch
lie nssorted were pure diamonds, but tho
cost of production wno so great and tho
results bo disappointing that further ex
periments wero abandoned.
"I remember hearing of the discovery of
synthetic dlamoi.t'fl about 20 years ago,
said Abrnham Sickles, of M. Sickles &
.Son, "hut I havo novor hcoii one nnd
don't know of nny one who has. Thero nrc
synthetic rubles and sapphires, but I don't
think It possible yot to produco a synthetic
diamond ficernl attempts havo been
mado without success to produce synthetic
emeralds, and although tho chemical com
position of the emerald la well known It
cannot bo reproduced. They can't glvo the
true emerald green, nnd I don't believe
nny better Buccess will bo met In the at
tempt to produco synthetic diamonds."
AV It. Elsenhower, tho diamond expert
of J. 13 Caldwell & Co , said ho had never
i-con a synthetic diamond, but ho hnd
heard of fake synthotlo diamonds being
mndo. A few yenrs ago, ho said, a man In
Paris had claimed ho could manufacture
synthotlo diamonds nnd Interested soveral
prominent persons to put money Into the
scheme, among others Mr. Volt, tho head
of tho dlnmond syndicate, but tho wholo
affair was a swlndlo, as he failed to deliver
tho goods.
"I would not say that synthetic dla-
..,. ...tit MAVni- Via tnnile. hilt nnv that I
havo heard of up to tho present wero
fakes," said A. Aloxander, head of tho dia
mond department of Balloy, Banks & Bid
die. "As fnr ns I know, tho experiments
that havo been tried In this connection
havo been so costly ns to be prohibitive."
"A synthetic diamond, If It were possi
ble to construct one, could not decelvo an
expert," Bald Colonol J. Warner Ilutchlns,
13:18 Walnut street. "Thero are Bynthctio
sapphires and synthetic rubles, but they
nro easily detected, and It would be much
easier to detect a synthetic dlnmond. The
puro whlto sapphire comes nearest to tho
diamond In appearance, and thoy are often
substituted for dlamon-ls In tho small sizes
used In cluster worlc They are easily de
tected In many ways, especially by a spe
cial llttlo (lie, about tho size of a manicure
file, mado for thd purpose.
"I havo henrd many times about the
discovery of synthetic diamonds, but noth
ing ever come3 of the roports, and this
latest story from Geneva by way of Paris
I prcsumo Is llko others that havo gono
beforo It."
Shirring on Underclothing
Shirring forms a pretty trimming on
lingerie. It ono docs not wish to put too
much money in plain underclothes, home
made combinations, nighties nnd camisoles
may be mado of dainty shirred batiste.
Lent Is tho time to make these useful
things, nnd they como In mighty handy on
hot summer days, for nothing is moro
delightful than sheer whlto batiste. The
shlrrlngs may bo used across tho front of
tho articles, with homstitchinga nt cither
edge. Tho effect Is smart.
Hoops, My Dear !
Hoops aro pretty and decidedly chic,
especially thoso which stand out In exag
gerated curves on either hip and aro
quite flat in the front. They are moro
becoming to tho average person than tho
barrel shape of the early Victorian frocks.
Tho bird cage, that ribbed hoop arrange
ment of our grandmothers' time, Is becom
ing popular, too. Many of the Imported
frocks show shirred rlbbonB, velvet or
bands of passementerie, disguising tho
wiring underneath.
Helpful Hints
If you find you have too much salt In
your food, add a leaspoonful of sugar.
Tho sugar counteracts tho salty taste.
Tho Juice from fruit pies will not run
out If a teaspoonful of tapioca Is added
to each pie.
The Flight of the Arrow
