at Middy Wearers
rV COURSE Philadelphia isn't sl6w
r iJ&ld tho observant woman specu
fftUyely. "Wo oil know that! but why,
h vrhn don't wo lake our outdated
antiquated Signs down?
'It's beon several weeks now," 8ho
continued, "slnco the gentlemen of tho
advertising1 world did honor us with con
vening here, and yet take a trip through
tVest Philadelphia, particularly around
tho University grounds, nnd bohold largo
billboards may bo seen making known
tho fact that on advertising convention
la to oe held. Thoush tho thousands of
Uvo wires have fled back to their re
spective homes, Billy Penn still waves a
hospltablo arm toward them.
"Particularly may these signs bo no
ticed along- the railroad tracks, where
incoming- trains bring visitors from all
ovor tho United States. What does it
matter that nil cities nro alike in this re
spect, that one may seo signs advertising
events long gono beforo in Chicago nnd
Now York llkewlso? This is Philadel
phia. Wo should not bo guilty."
Of courso wo should not, and yet all
that ono has to do to And out hott really
guilty wo aro is to look around,
Long after tho Civic Exhibition had
shut its door signs In tho neighborhood
cf tho Commercial Museum continued to
advertlso tho fact that it was to take
place. Railroads running to Baltlmoro
and tho South went by theso billboards.
Now signs aro put alongside of railroad
tracks becauso of tho habit travelers
havo of reading1 everything In sight. It
behooves us to bo moro careful of what
wo advertise.
So short n time as tWo weeks ngo a
sign out on Walnut street blatantly called
attention to tho fact that an automobile
show was to bo held. Now slnco that
automobile show camo to pass last win
ter, this sign may be said to havo becomo
soro and aged. It should bo consigned
to tho billboards almshouso or wherever
it is that old-fashioned signs are laid

Small Church Needs Hymnals
I am a member of. a small church which Is
poor and cannot buy hymn books ror tho choir
There are Id members In the choir, and I am
sure thoso hymn bonks would be appreciated
much. If you will send the address of tho iwr
son who offers f.U I will forward the money so
that they may be sent parcel post, providing
aha will be so kind to a poor church?
FHIED.V E.
The abundant supply of hymn books put
at our service a while ago went to fill the
wants of another mission. Wo refer your
modest request" to tho constituency. There
aro surely lots of disused hymn books In
attics and cupboards which might bo put
into beneficent circulation through our
agency. Let us hear of them in connection
with the petition of Frieda E.

To Make Baby Comfortable
Will the ever merciful and patient Corner
read and consider my story? I have two small
children and expect another before long. We
are In destitute circumstances. Have any of
the readers o( the Corner a baby bed thoy no
lonwer need? Or infant's clothing which th
former wearers hao outgrown? I am a dally
reader ot the. Corner, but this is my tirat appeal
to you In any form. I ara fenently hoping it
will brlnir good luck. I hao a lot ot foreign
stamps I'll cive In return or anything I ran
do for the Corner. I will work for the bed, but
am afraid I'll be sick before 1 get It.
11(3, MAHX U.
If we can find tho bed and also con
tribute to tho outfit of tho expected In
fant they will go to you as soon as com
passionate readers who can meet your need3
have had a chance to consider your sad
letter. But if we accept your foreign
stamps It must ba with the understanding
that they are a free gift to us, as any serv
ice we can render you must be. Wo re
ceive no returns except the satisfaction
that comes from the thought that we have
held out a loving hand to one of our
Father's children. That "our" binds the
obligation upon every heart nnd conscience.
Old Books Wanted ,
I am a reader of your Corner and have re
ceived many good hints. I should like to know
it any kind reader baa old novels or books to
pareT K. W, O.
Wa are putting old books. Including
novels. Into Ihely circulation all the year
round. We register your namo and petition,
and remind houws and home keepers who
buy hooks when they like that nowei
volumes push the old out of sight and
thought. Tho, book shelves should be over
hauled periodically, with an eye to doing
a kind action by filling shelves which yawn
pitifully in less favored homes. It Is a mis
take to hoard current literature. Keep stand
ard works if you will, but pass the novels
gaily down the "waiting line."

somebody or other and havo all tho

For tho purpose of filling out this
column on a hot day I sing tho perfidious
middy! Not tho Jolty middles who aro
tho pupils In Unelo Satn's Academy at
Annapolis, but that artlclo of wearing
apparel which originally was designed
for them, but which llko a tidal wave
has Bwept ovor tho cntiro naitorlal sea,
lmmorslng all of us.
But tho middy was not meant for nil
of us. Only yesterday I saw a middle
aged woman In Washington Squaro with
four kiddles hanging to her skirts. Sho
was unrorscted and her figure was after
tho manner of tho Botticelli ladles you
know, the kind with tho protuberant tum
mies, that would make tho "sti night
front" corset ad damsels turn cold with
disdain. Tho Washington Squaro woman
wore a middy; woro It with tho debonair
demeanor of ono who Is slim, se'to nnd
sixteen.
Sho was not built for tho middy, any
moro than Mario Dressier wa3 built for
an artist's smock or Schumnnn-IIelnk
for n bolero. But with supremo disre
gard for tho god of thlnps as they ought
to be, sho went unbelted, V-nccked nnd
sailor-collared. Becauso sho felt cool and
comfortable she thought sho was stylish,
though In fact sho moro nearly resembled
a baby hippo than a fashion model.
As a boating or sports costumo for tho
young girl with tho lissome, boyish fig

than tho blouso tlint Undo Sam picked

We should like to carry on tho work wo
took upon ourselves months ago In behalf
of a most worthy family. Won't our
Juniors rally to help this good son? Bead
what his mother snys of him, and she Is
tho most competent judge of his merits.
Tf it seems a biff thing to ask for a bicycle,
bear In mind what tho wheel would be td
him as a labor and money saver.

In obedience to your directions I railed upon
Mrs. U. C M. and rererteil a goodly number

Camera Would Please
I an a working girl and heln support my
InvaUd mother. I hive a sreat desire tn have
a camera, und cannot liopa that I ahull ever
be abla to InduUe rmself in one If I fiavo to
buy It. It may be that a reader has one he
or she has tired of or perhape the owner can
afford to buy a better one. It would be ,i kt I
nss I could never f get, if tho rumen wtie
passed over to me. KIUTll A.
A tolerably lively Imagination may fill
up the outlines of our working girl's sketch.
Sho Is young, and youth craves recreation
and pleasing employment, especially when
the long, weary day has been spent in toll
Olivers of cameras can testify to tho en
llventnent of monotonous lives by the
beneficent Instrument, It is a joy forever
to the lover of nature and to one who.se
artistic, temperament has little opportunity
for exercise. If there be a disused camera
in tho possession of a tender hearted reader,
may we beg him or her to read twice the
note of the dutiful daughter?
In Need of Clothing
I am a widow and have poor health. I am
convalescing at present from an operation that
I underwent two months ago I have one
daughter, bha Is married and has a family of
four children, and her husband makes smalt

"Ternpus f uglt J" In plain America, time
files so fast that the sight upon the Corner
calendar today of the words "blue moon

with a clear conscience and without apology
that the old clothes may be huated up and

have written to the Corner to forward with

Wcddinpr Arrangements
Dror nrbornn KU'li I iould Kn pleased If
you would answer tho few questions I nould
llko to know ., ,
1. At n houen neddlng, having a maid of
honor, four brldesmnldi. bent man and four
usher, what aro the duties of each?
2. What Is the proper order for tho bridal
party to come In? . . , . .,
.1. What presents and bouquets is tho bride
groom expected tn give?
4. When only the famlllei are Invited to tho
ceremony Is It necesi-iry to Inclose reception
cards with tho Invitations, or Is this undtr-
MtOOft
B. Is It customary for the bridegroom to en
tertain his ushers before the wedding- If bo.
what would ou suggest as entertainment?
0. At tho reception does the bridal ptrty
gather at ono table, or Just what Is tho pro
cedure? - "
The duties of the members of a bridal
party are much tho same In a houso ns In
church. Tho ushers are ready some tlmo
beforo the ceremony and downstairs to place
the members of tho family and guests when
they arrive.
The bridesmaids havo only to look their
prettiest on either occasion, but tho maid
of honor usually holds the bride's bouquet
and arranges her veil and train as she
turns to go to the place ai ranged for tho
bridal party to stand and receive the con
gratulations of friends and guests. The
best man usually takes charge of tho ring
for the bridegroom and makes all tho ar
rangements tho bridegroom docs not see to
himself.
2. Tho bridal party should be led by
tho ushers, walking two and two, followed
by 'he bridesmaids, also walking In pairs.
The maid of honor Immediately precedes tho
bride, who walks In leaning on the arm
of her father or whoever Is to give her In
marriage. The clcrgvman and tho bride
groom and best man enter tho room first If
there 13 only one entrance, otherwise they
coma in from another door as the procession
Is advancing. The clergyman walks Hist,
followed by tho bridegroom and then the
best man.
3. The bridegroom usually glve3 a pres
ent to each of his ushers and best man
a scarfpln, studs, cuff links or some such
small artlclo of Jewelry. He also gives the
bridal bouquet and the bouquets for the
maid of honor and brldes-malds.
i. If only the families strictly are to be
asked to the breakfast, I do not think it
would be necessary to send separate cards,
though It Is, of course, better form tp do so
5, It Is customary tu give the ushers and
best man a dinner or supper several eve
nings beforo tho wedding, either at some
hotel or club,
0. The bride and bridegroom after the
ceremony always move to a portion of the
room where they stand to recelvo the con
gratulations of their friends. Usually the
bridesmaids and maid ot honor stand with
them. After all guests have spoken to the
bridal pair It Is usual for them to take
breakfast seated at a table with the mem
bers of their bridal party The other guests
are served from the buffet usually, though
they may be seated if the rooms are largo
enough.

WATCH YOUR BABIES
IN "SECOND SUMMER,"
MOTHERS ARE WARNED
It's tho Turning Point in Chil
dren's Lives That Determines
Good Digestion Dr.
Ryan's Advice
AVOID TEA AND COFFEE
Is this your baby's second summer?
Watch him t Don't let him cat things that
will disagree with him; oversee every de
tail of his diet, hl3 clothing nnd his dally
regimen If you want to lteep him healthy.
For tho second summer is a critical tlmo
In tho young child's life.
It Is tho turning point that determines
tho child's dlgestlvo faculties If his diet
Is properly prepared, regulated and di
gested It Is eato to assume that he will havo
a good btomnch for the, rest of his life.
H ho Is Cros-j, and peovlsh, and Is Inclined
to rcfuso his food to say nothing of losing
It his feeding Is wrong.
Go down to tho Woman's Hospital clinic.
nt 33D Washington avenue, any day, nnd
volt will seo a swect-fneed, white-haired
doctor there, working among children ot
all nationalities, tcaclilnp mothers and stu
dents tho proper way to keep the youngsters
well. Dr. Maria P llyan has taught stu
dents at tho Woman's College and has
handled youngsters for many yeats. She
knows all nbout what to gtvo them to eat
Hero Is what sho tells tho mothers Mho como
to her dally from all parts of tho hot city
with pale, nlllng youngsters:
NO TI5A Oil COFFEC
"Don't glvo tho child tea or coffee. It
may sound ridiculous, but you'd bo aston
ished to realize how many women do it
not only tea nnd coffee, hut foreigners feed
their young babies wlno and beer ns well.
Can you wonder that tho poor children nro
palo nnd slckl.v ?
"And don't glvo your baby raw cow's
milk unless he's over 18 montha old. Pas
teurization has dono much tovvnrd improv
ing tho quality of tho ordinnry milk supply,
but It cannot do nil. Children used to dlo
like illei in October in tlio hot weather be
fore tho milk supply was Inspected by
Government agents, nut tho Government
can't work ulono. Tlio mother must co
operate. "I tell my mothers to nurso their babies
until they nro 10 or 12 months old every
two hours In the beginning, later every
threo hours. They must bo weaned with
cow's milk, but this should bo diluted with
two paita water. That Is whnt mothers
don't do consequently tho child li unablo
to thrive, because ho can't assimilate tho
proportionate amount of protelds and fats
that arc In cow's milk as compared to tho
mother's milk."
' Knlarged ljmphatlo glands 'at cither sldo
of tho throat uro tho first sign of a de
ranged dlgcstlvo system from unwise feed
ing, hnown as enteritis, accordlnu to Doc
tor Ryan.
"Ah soon as tho mothers seo these en
larged glands they rush to tho doctor, but
not beforo tho dnmago Is done." sho will
tell you. "A light diet in summer Is best
for any child. Thcro aro plenty of good,
wholesomo dishes to chooso from. The
ideal .case, ray a child nbout 2 years old,
would tako a diet something llko thh: One
quart of milk n jlny, cocoa, but no tea or
eorreo. ilrcnd a day old never glvo fresh
bread. Toast and zwelbach la better.
Marked potntoes with butter or gravy. Well
cooked cereals, stowed fruits and fresh
fruit juices no fruits. Custards nro also
good, nnd, of course, everything must bo
carefully prepared."
Bathing nnd clothing has a great deal
to do with tho physlc.il condition of tho
ordinary child. Doctor llyan asserts. Moth
ers who overlook tho bathing precautions
often havo feverish youngsters, sho has
noticed.
"Wo uso tho cool sponges to reduco fever
nowadajs nnd find It a great Improvement
on medicines," sho declares. "Tho child
should always bo bathed dally, nnd If It Is
very hot during tho summertime cool
sponges should bo given evry two hours.
The less tho child wears In the houso tho
better It would do no harm for It to run
around naked.
"Another very Important Item in tho
child's regime Is plenty ot drinking water.
This means boiled and cooled water, not
tho ordinary water that is taken straight
from tho "plgot Doctors rcallzo the cleans
ing qualities of water inside as well as out
side. Tho moro water a child drinks tho
better his system will bo. Mako tho child
drink as much ns ho will, It's good for him.
Of course, these aro all preventlvo measures
for tho ideal child, A diseased child needs
medical treatment by a skilled physician."

"Vacating" on the Porch
If there's ono tectlon of tho house that
can bo mado llko an earthly paradlso in
Hummer tlmo It's tho summer porch. Thero
tho family can find a shndy nook to hldo
In when tho sun Is nt Us hottest, and a
nice nulot spot in which to read tho latest
novel.
Don't mako tho mlstnko of filling tho
veranda too full of furniture. Allow plenty
of space to movo nround In, and tho porch i
Itself will look larger and copier.
If you want a really shady porch, plant
nround It somo vlifba, such ns clematis,
moonvlne, woodbine, etc., that nro cleanly
and free from Insects.-
Havo the seat and swing cushions mndo
so that they may bo removed and laundered
frequently. Cushions used out of cloor3 soil
moro quickly than thoso used Indoors.
Don't have a lot of hanging baskets nnd
things llko that around. Long boxes of
blooms aro less cumbersomo nnd decidedly
moro attractive.
Swinging porch lights nro to be had in
Jnpaneso lantern effects, In very artlstio
colorings. They aro mado of ornngo or yel
low paper, with motifs in black, Ercen, red
or blue painted on them.
Tho porch should say "wclcomo" In overy
detail.
