A clothes analysis of the fortunate few reveals run-hard common sense plus the kind of basle travel ward- robe that the raincoated majority of travellers could easily afford if they thought a little. It consists of what I would call "Teamables, packables and uncrushables"
Paulino Alper, who is the Direc- tor of Sales and Advertising and Merchandising in a New York fabrie firm, tells the inside story of pack- ing for travel.
"I like to travel in wool jersey because it doesn't crush, keeps me warm. I have separate jerney blouses and skirts, which together team up to make n dress. Instead of trying to keep evening things crease-free, I pack

There are three groups of chil- dren who commonly create difeul- ties of this kind.
First, there is the sick child. He cannot be expected to eat, for his loss of appetite is a symptom of some general disturbance or the out- come of a local disorder such as an ear infection, decayed teeth, or sore moulli.
The second group is made up of normal, healthy children who have been mishandled by their parents. In the third group are children” who' do not cat because of severe emo- tional disturbances. Most children .who fiddle' and dawdle over their food, only to refuse it in the end are found in the second group.

Mothers sometimes attempt to give the baby more food than ho needs. They are also prone to insist on foods which the baby does not like because they are, in Mother's opinion, good for him. Both prae- tices make for the development of poor appetite. Then, loo. mothers feed the baby when he ought to be feeding himself.
