If you are lucky enough to have a rother and sister about the same size In one nursery it is furs to dress them in twin outfita, The boy can wear knickers of powder blue, geranium pink, or emerald green, with a white shirt and collar and cuffs to match the trousers, while sister has a coloured frock with white caller and cuffs. Or again, sister's dress may be made of the same striped material as brother's shirt. The best coats are of frieze or tweed inan-tailored double-breasted with dap pockets and belled at the back. To my mind these look much smarter than flat surfaced cloth for everyday wear, You can get children's jumpers and cardigans copied exactly from the grown-up patterns and very charming they are too.

[OTHERS could do much to help their daughters through the awitward age, twelve to fifteen, if only they would allow their clothes to be sensible copies of grown-up fashions. For country wear a lim fitting single-breasted coat in one of the all-over check materials cut with a flair and wide arm-holes would be charming for both mother and daughter, and a smart town eat could be made of a dark cloth with velvet collar and cuts and a frogged chest. For party wear a dress made of soft uncrushable velvet with a draped bodice bloused over in front and short draped sleeves; or an a runabout frock one of the plain jersey materials cut with a band collar, bodice fastening down one side and either two or four patch pockets put on at an angle,

OUR eyes are the hardest working of all our organs.

They begin their work at birth. It has been proved that babies of three hours old can actually see objects and follow their movements.

For nearly fifty years, eighteen tiny eye muscles work delicately and continuously all day long in order to let us see well.

Half of us over twenty-five years of age need glasses for close work. If you are not reading this through glasses you are either fortunate or neglectful. Even children are having glasses prescribed for them at the rate of 180,000 a year. Half a million schoolchildren now,suffer from defective eyesight.

Twentieth century conditions of industry and commerce are im- posing a strain on the eyes that was not provided for by nature. For each countryman wearing glasses there, are.twenty.city-dwellers who have to do so.

Beware of bad Lighting

Bad lighting, the habit of reading while travelling, the increase of noise, nervous, exhaustion, faulty digestion-all these factors help: towards the rapid deterioration of eyesight.

Bad lighting has an adverse effect upon the quality and output of work. More effective illumination in a mine resulted in a 14 per cent. increase in the output of coal. A chocolate frm discovered a 10 per cent. Increase in the packing of chocolates; a factory increased the pro- duction in its pulley-finishing department by 35 per cent.
