The Baby Girl Of Eighteen Months
IS little girl enjoys three
Tmeals a day. She has no
between-meal snacks, except orange juice before taking her mid-morning sleep, and a drink of water or prune juice on re- turning from her afternoon walk.
She has no foods fads, and happily has a splendid capacity for chewing. A certain amount of hard food is necessary. as it sup- plies the best way of maintaining a good digestion, strong teeth, and well-developed jaws.
Breakfast and tea-aupper usual- ly start with hard buttered brown bread toast, or one of the crisp breads. Just occasionally a little bread and butter is given at tua- time, but this is always taken in sandwich form, and cut in small pices which she can eat herself.
Like all other young people, she poses a strong sense of the ridi culous and the imitative, carrying a ball in her mouth, for example, and crawling dogwise rapidly across the floor, with her chin in the air. She has only just begun to walk and she has a tendency," to turn her toes in, but we do not worry about this, as we know that its only a matter of balance and will be righted in time. If ankles are strong and legs straight, and firm, there is no cause for anxiety. Shoes, of course, are most im- portant at this stage. She has only two pairs in her wardrobe at present, one for best and one o wear every day, as her feet are altering, and growing so fast, To

Your Legs Lovely
EGIN with your circula-
Btion, as that is essential
to health and it helps to round off angles and mould the body into just the right proportions. First off all, as soon as you jump out of bed in the morn- ing run and stand in front, of an open window, and breathe in and out slowly and deeply. As you breathe in lift your arms above your head, making an open circular movement,"at the same time keeping your head up, chest. out and. shoulders back. Breathe out, and relax arms and body. Do this at least six times..
Now if you happen to look down and it strikes you that you haven't got the loveliest of slender ankies and still loveller legs don't stop at sighing. There is a definite charm In attractive legs and ankles—and you know it. So make up your mind to do something about it. Look quite critically at your legs and feat. If the actual bone struc ture la not lurge you can achieve miracles. On
An average the Ankle go with the general bone structure of the rest of the body. is probably so there
not the #lightest reason for you to be un- happy about the size of your ankles.
The great thing about most feet exercises is that they can be done

Now she is fond of construc- tive toys, and will stay still for a long while putting beads in and out of a box, or studying a picture book. If she has too many toys and begins to tire of them, we store them in large paper bags, having.one of each type to a bag. All bags but one.are put. away, and as the Interest in that one palls it will be replaced by an- other. But what she favours at the moment she loves to pack away in har tay-cupboard, while she has such a gentle touch that she fingers objects without harm. ing them at all.
She is extremely supple, and is. not at all troubled by any gure problems, Her clothing has n ways been lonse and unrestricted, so beauty culture comes naturally, and graceful movements develop unknowingly.
Of course she sometimes bene- fla from # little wholesome neglect. If she gives way to her. feelings and screams or whines, or tries to draw attention to herself. to leave her quite alone will soon right matters. Reasoning and scolding are useless and only serve to make her more agitated."
Her vocabulary is Jimited. though she does carry on quite an intelligent conversation in her own way, and understands what is said to her. All night long she sleeps, for she is free from indigestion and happily occupied throughout her day. Occasionally she cries out in her sleep while cutting her double teeth, Teething is a pain- ful process, often causing a sharp pain which brings an involuntary ery, but if feeding and manage- ment are correct, there should not be undue distress. Slipping an extra pillow in at bed-time ja sometimes a help as it raises the head.
When she goes for her "carriago walk" in the afternoon she has plenty of fresh air, as her peram- bulator has not got too deep a conch, and it has no leather hood to hold back the used air. If it is summertime and very hot, a little green-lined canopy is raised for protection,"
at odd moments and if you haven't time to fit them in to your carly morning programme there's no need to worry. You can do them in your bath, even in bed. But you must persevere with thom I you want them to work wonders.
Are you sure you are walking pro- perly? Far too many women do not -and no wonder they are so tired and irritable at the end of the day. Walking smoothly and lightly is just matter of keeping your knees straight, throwing forward the whole of your legs from the hips and moving almost as though you were dancing.
An exercise that will soon loosen up your legs and encourage grace- ful curves is an exaggerated ver- sion of the goose-sten. Try walk- ing round the room, extending first your right and then your left arm level with your shoulders. Each time you move forward, throw up the corresponding leg, bringing it 'ns near possible to the height of your hand. Don't be discourag- ed if you do not succeed in touch- .. Ing it at first.
Proper breathing will improve your circulation..
