Children are Going Gay
TOW for the open-air life that spring and
NOW
summer brings with children in lighter frocks, outdoor games, and longer days..
1 visited a friend recently who was busy going through a trunk in which she had stored last summer's clothes for her children.
She washes all their cotton frocks and blouses In the autumn, and then rough-dries them, after which they are rolled away until the following season.
She has discovered that cot- Lon garments that are put away ironed and perhaps starched all require re-doing, and are also very likely to wear badly at the folds in which they have lain for so many months.
White garments are wrapped in blue paper, which prevents their going yellow. -
Children grow very rapidly if they are healthy, and it is always a good idea to plan their garments on lines which will allow for let- ting out and letting down,

Where summer Perned, it is necessary to allow for freedom of movement, though this rula applies to all children's wear. Boya must have plenty of scope across the shoulder-scams of shirts and blouses, and A generous collar-measurement.
Knickers must be easy in the crotch, and comfortably wide in seat and leg. The short-sleeved slirt or blouse is now very popular for summer wear, and is an ideal choice.
Girls should have plenty of full-
ness across back and chest, which

Can you advise me about foot-wear for my three children, aged 11, 8 and 4. this summer. Would sandals with out socks be antiable?
SANDALS would be excellent pro-

There is one store in London which sells excellent sandals with this built- up arch which prevents fint-foot and I can recommend this type of eatin

My little sont made a slow recovery from measles this winter, and an wondering how best to make the change from winter to summer cloth. tno, so that he catches no chills,
CHOOSE your day carefully for com-
mencing the changes. Then begin to "pect" your son by degrees. Change the winter shirt for a cotton one, and let him wear a blazer morning and evening on the day that you do so.
Your next step will be to deal with hls winter underwear. Change the wool panta for catton ones first, then change the wool vest for his summer one, and go back for a couple of days to a winter shirt.
By adopting this method and sprend- lug the process over two or three weeka, he will be unlikely to have any ill- effecta.

TERHAPS you fell into the mistake of relaxing discipline too much when you were away. It is always best to keep to the usual bedtime and menl-hours even when une is on holi day. Otherwise children are sure to find it hard to conform once more on their return home.
