BLOUSES are

like hats

in that a woman can't

have too many of them, and, like hats they add variety to our outfits at little cost.

A new blouse will cheer up a last year's suit, be the perfect complement to a new suit, or make a gay and refreshing evening partner to a long dark crepe skirt.

The present-day mother realises that the rearing of children is not done by instinct, and that accurate information is necessary for the core of the child.

Not only must she know something about caring for the baby's physical needs, she must also have some understanding of his mind, so that she can bring him up to be happy and self-reliant.

TENERAL family life is not overlooked in this book. Dr. Mary Anthony arranges the baby's day and the toddler's day so that the bath, dress- ing and meal times will fall in with other household arrangements.

A particularly useful part is the section dealing with infectious disease and the treatment of skin troubles.
