The Food of Kings for your Baby
Kings command the best the world can give, and the Royal Infant has the best medical advice, the best nurses, the best food obtainable.
Glaxo is privileged to display the Royal Arms of Italy and Spain because the infant sons of the Kings of Italy and Spain were brought up on Glaxo.
Your Baby is a King, and demands as his Royal right the best that you can give him. Glaxo--the food of Kings-is, therefore, the food King Baby must have.

FASHION GOSSIP FROM PARIS.
Flounces are rapidly coming back into favour again, and it is easy to foresee the day when dresses will be frilled and flounced 43 generously as they were some tea or fifteen years ago.
The tray cloth, if you use one for the morning tea-tray, should harmonise with the bedroom hanginge, also the china if it is coloured and patterned.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.
To Set the Colour,
If you will dip your pink or red blouses in turpentine after dying
them, this will set the colour so you will not need to worry about fading.

The skirt with three tiers of flounces is undoubtedly going to be very popular in the not-too- distant future. Already there are many models to be seen at the big, dress-makers made on these lines. The full flounce is also being worn, bat in a fairly limited degree.
A new variation of the bell sleeve is a novelty that has made its appearance.

COLOURS THAT AGE.
The woman who wishes to look

is the most flattering colour any Woman Can wear, and unless she is unfortunate enough to have chosen the wrong shade a woman will always look younger in a blue gown than in one of any other colour. Very fair women, with ash-blonde hair, should choose the pale shades of blue, light tones of saxe and grey bices, while those with dark or golden-brown hair can adopt the deeper shades, royal and the lighter tones of navy-blue.
