SOUND SLEEP...

'JIEN the cap falls in

Umtrees, in

winter,

when many animaly hibernate and a hush falls over Naturo, we and little trace of activo progress, yet we know that without a winter there can be no spring.

It se the same with human beings and with growing chil- dren in particular. Without sleep and plenty of it, there can be no sustained growth.

In some ways alcop is still more Important than food, but, unfor- tunately, this is not sumelently considered.

Our grandmothers as a general whole showed more wisdom where long nights in bed were concerned, although they knew less about vitaming and food values, and that in perhaps why their children compared favourably with ours in sturdiness and intelligence.

They believed in regulor bed- times at an early hour, and they saw to it that their theory was practised.

From eight months to eighteen manus nost babies need 14 hours sleep out of the 24; from 10 months to three years they need 14 hours: front three years to eight gents, 12 hours. During the rest of their school lives they should have never lean than 10 hotira.

Restless at Night

My baby is good all tiny, though she sleeps little, tiut she wakes frequently in the night. Galus from 8-12 oz. most icecks, but uns wirkt after most feeds.

RADY is gaining too rapidly, and the

restiesruess it night is probably due to over-feeding. She should n01. be on three-tourly freds during the day-lime, and I advise you to drop the night-feeds as soon as possible

110W.

Feed her at regular four-bourly intervals during the day: give a small feed at 10 p.m. and let her sleep in it room by herself where she will not be disturbed. If she wakes during the night give alps of cool, holled water and change the nursery quare, but slo nut feed hær.

At six months she has no need for

one intends to go on where the train- ing of children is concerned,

I suggest that you should take a firm stand now and that you should insist that she gets to bed by 7.30 pm. Get the school nurse to inck you in this decision if you feel that you cannot deal with the matter yourself. The re- quest enn come from her, and then you will only have to see that it is carried out.

My little girl has rarely slept before 9 p.n, during the sum- mer months, though she op- peared quita refreshed in the morning. Should 7 try to get her to bed earlier nojo that the autumn has come?

.

WOULD certainly advise you to do 10. Chlidren require more sleep winter than they do in summer, and sha will probably find it easier to drop off now nights are darker. It is a mis- take to keep little ones up in warm rooms that are artificially lighted.

I do not altogether approve of your plan of keeping her in bed into on Saturday and Sunday mornings to make up sleep, though I know that this plan is fairly popular.

It is much better training to send he child to bed every night at a rea- sonably early hour and to get her up at the same regular hour.

MARY GRACE FINDS THE

Coat With

WARM Inside

ELIEVE me, this year's fashions arc deceptive.

an elaborate coat piled up with fur at hem and neck, yet round the waist they are no chilly as a creaking door.

For an every-day winter coat in this country I like something that keeps out the draughts and is good for all weathers. The two coats

I am going to tell you about are certajhly that.

You have only to look inside to see how warm they are. The Arst is in fine quality herringbone tweed, well talloréd, with storm collar and plenty of wrap in front.

It is lined throughout with heavy artificial- allk, but the cunning part is an interlining down to the waist of real chamois leather to give extra protection against chift,

The colours are grey, blue, and fawn mixtures, and the sizes ssw. sw, w and wx.

The other coat, a Walmacul, is in navy only a beautiful quality pilot cloth, cut with belt and side. pockets. Look inside and you will sce not only a good artificial allk lining, but a quilted interlining right through-as in the illus- tration.

The sizes are the same as the other coal.

Navy has the great advantage of being suitable for town as well as country wear, and is as becoming to the alim young blonde na It is to the matronly forties and over. Navy is never wrong."

pieces such as cabinets, tables, and shelf fixtures to fullsized beds show that they have been planned for adults' rooms.

If your bedroom is small with Imited hanging space, why not invest in a portable wardrobe, which was, in the first place, de- signed for those who travel and are fastidious about their clothes.

It is collapsible, but it will stand opened to its full size all the time, taking up little space in a convenient corner of the

room.

A very strong furnishing fabric is used for the cover, and this is interlined with a plain dust-proof material. The "door" with its patent fastening opens and lown one across the top

To prove how really useful these wardrobes are, they are covered with a special rot-proof material for tropical use,
