Spring is at hand, and more we are being shown the light turn-oute of the couturier'a" tancy. Paris has told us how the well- dressed woman will be arrayed. Which is not quite the same as how the 1933 women will appear to us. Evening clothes are first up for judgment. Whatever a woman may wear in the day, man expects her to look most womanly in the even- ing. For some strange reason men like women to appear attractive, feminine, and-no brickbate, please

Our expectations will not yield a high return this year, Hard- ness will be the order of the day, or rather night, but we shall get a change.

LOOK AFTER THE GIRLS
FUTURE MOTHERS OF THE RACE.
Sir George Newman, Chief Ma dical Officer of the Ministry of Health, addressing the annual meeting of the National Union of Guilds for Citizenship at the Im- perial Institute, recently, referred to the necessity for England to take care over the rearing of its He said that future mothers. healthy domesticity was one of the essentials of a healthy nation.
"How is this nation rearing ita girls!" he asked. "Is it taking the care of them that it should? It takes care of its boys, but, what i about its girla
"When I visit a mixed school I always ask most questions about the girls. I am told not to be fussy, but it is the girls who are. going to be the mothers of the fu- ture.
"Why is it that in Holland, Scandinavia, Italy and Russia ma- ternal mortality is less than it is in England! It is because they grow their girls differently in those countries. We shall attain healthy domesticity by making homes in- stead of shutting them down and living in restaurants."
"Traaby" Breakfasts.
Sir George, speaking of the im-1 portance of dietary, implored "his audience of women not to serve the same trash and rubbish': morning after morning for every day of the 365 in the year, so that their family knew every day what they were going to have.
When asked whether the public health work for the care of mothers and children was creating a C nation, Sir George said: "This is not a C3 nation. How can it be when every baby born to day ha fifteen years more expectation of life than its grandfather had "
Sir George said that the nation had learnt all about the care of horses, cows and pigs. "It is a very particular people about its. colts for the Derby. Why is it not more particular about the colts for the future of their own, race ?" he Baked.

Those of us who remember the limited selection of materials in our grandmother's time must in- deed marvel at the wealth of. fa brics we have to-day. Then the choice lay between tarletan, pop lin, or perhaps stiff satin, with an absurdly small number of cot ton prints and a few musling as the only alternatives.
