ITTLE boys may not be aa fashion-con- scious as their small raisters, but watch any

toddler in a new jersey suit, particularly it. It's knitted in a pretty colour which entahes his eye. You'll see he's just as proud and pleased as you or I would be with a new hat.

Here's an ideal

ault for a two-year-old, knitted in a practical boyish rib, with mess-utlicts banda and knickers. An outfit to keep him warm and happy as the day is long.

INQUIRY BUREAU

TRY WRITING TO YOURSELF

T times you must have felt the need of advice on some personu problem which you did not want to discuss even with your closest friend;) perhaps it was something that you felt she would not understand-the offer of a new post, or whether to accept that invitation to spend week with the Smiths, whom you hardly know.

Such problems, whether Important or not, can sometimes be extremely dimcult to consider. When faced with one you will tell yourself this: and that, thoughts KO whirling through your head, and eventually you give up, telling yourself that your will wait until you can think mora clearly. The matter is tucked away until the moment before the definite decision is needed and then you have no time to consider all the import- ant factors. The result is often that'

take somo you do something or course that you afterwards regret.

seems a pity to make a mistakej like that, especially if you find it quite easy to write a letter of sound advice to a friend who is in doubt. It was after writing such a letter that I hit upon the idea of writing to myself when I needed advice.

When I have to make one of those purely personal decisions I get a F866 piece of paper and a pencil and theo sit down and think about the prob-
