Then as the child grows, the hems can be let out and more wear achieved from the garment gar-ment A little girl's dress should have an opening sufficiently large around the neck to permit easy getting in and out. Only one button is used for this opening. Very large or small buttons or snaps and hooks are considered poor choice for youngster's garments. gar-ments. Child authorities say that it is easy for the child learning to dress to use the medium-sized flat button, but he is lost with the outsize out-size or small size. Teach him self reliance by. making it easy for him to dress himself. For boys' one-piece garments, use a drop seat controlled by a belt. This Is easy for the boy to manage even at an early age and looks neat. The drop seat can have an elastic run through a casing so that it snaps back into place easily after being stretched. Laundering Tips Study the directions that come with your garments when you wash them. It's no longer true that everything must be washed in the hottest water possible. Sort clothing so that ail similar sim-ilar colors are washed at one time with light clothes first. Bluing follows the final rinse, and is usually given to all white clothes to prevent them from turning yellowish after age. Starching follows the bluing process, proc-ess, but in many cases these two are combined when you use a ready-made starch that has the bluing already added to it. This mixture is ready to use and is just diluted as directed. Select a ready-made starch that is smooth, otherwise you will have difficulty mixing it with the water. wa-ter. Clothes should be properly hung to save ironing time. A garment gar-ment hung on the "off grain" will not iron well and wUl not set properly when worn. Hang dresses by the skirts or at the shoulder seams; hang socks by the top so as not to put unnecessary unnec-essary wear on the foot etc. Iron rayons and synthetic fabrics fab-rics according to instructions that come with them. Your heating heat-ing guide on the iron will be an invaluable aid in applying the correct amount of beat to each type of fabric. You'll find few sleeves on dresses for sportswear of this type, the idea being that you want as much sun as you can get and also, no sleeves will offer more freedom for playing. Felts are scheduled to be made in a tempting array of colors, and you'll find many of them made for easy traveling because a big boost in this department is expected in the coming months. 4 i tt - . -I VV : ''" i rn'trrri'ii- if irni n n i r 'I Kathleen Norris Says: Justice for the Baby Btfl gya&eat. "Between now and your wedding day Karl a friendship that may tolve all thU the chOd at air By KATHLEEN NORRIS "lIVE years ago I wrote you about my expected college baby," writes Frances, from an Arkansas town. "This baby was the result re-sult of a winter of recklessness, reckless-ness, I see that now. But I had joined a free thinking group in college, and the thought that a woman is not privileged to have a child and raise that child, without the farce of a few words pronounced pro-nounced over her and some man by a justice of the peace, was ridiculous to me. Your advice was to have the baby I privately, and give it out for immediate adoption, but I loved the thought of a child all my own, and determined to go home for the summer, acknowledge ac-knowledge my baby openly, and try to persuade a supposedly sup-posedly open-minded circle of family and friends that things have changed, and the old narrow law against so-called illegitimacy is outgrown. "Well, some of the circle saw things my way and some didn't. My dearest girl friend stuck to me and adored Sylvia, who is an exquisite child, now nearing five. My mother was wonderful, quiet and sympathetic, sympa-thetic, anxious for me to get in touch with the baby's father, which was out of the question, but helpful all through. Certain cousins and aunts turned up their noses. I got a good war Job, made lots of money, and could do everything for Sylvia. My father died a few months after I got home, and Mother lived with me. Mother wanted me to tell people peo-ple that the baby's father had been killed at Iwo Jima, but I wouldn't lie. "Jane, my friend, married, and her husband didn't like our friendship. friend-ship. I would never have believed that anything would change her, but the stubborn narrow man she married managed it They have two children; he doesn't even want them to play with Sylvia. "Well, here's the present problem. prob-lem. What nobody but myself even knew was that Sylvia's father was married when I met him; I did not know it until we had been lovers for some time. He and his wife came to our town a few weeks ago; they are childless, and they want Sylvia. "Meanwhile, I have fallen truly in love with Karl, an engineer who is going to Norway for three years. He thinks it unwise for us to take the baby, and would be glad to have me give her over to her father. The equasion in this that nobody takes into account is my feeling for my beautiful, affectionate little girl; we have never been parted, she depends on me, and her possessive my mommy is always on her lips. "Her father will stand no half-measures. half-measures. She must go to him unconditionally. un-conditionally. She must not see me again, and believe, as she grows older, that she is his wife's child. I am torn two ways, agonized by this decision. The man I want to marry is in every way my ideal-strong, ideal-strong, quiet tender and wise. He is half-Norwegian, and the prospect of life at a great construction plant in his father's country sounds good to me.

She is about to be married to an engineer. They will go to Norway where he has a contract lasting several sev-eral years. Everything would be splendid except for Frances's illegitimate daughter. daugh-ter. The child is now five, and very cute and loveable. Frances Fran-ces has been able to care for her since she was born. Karl, Frances's fiance, dtiesn't want the child. He wants Frances to surrender Sylvia to her fa-ther, fa-ther, who is willing to take her, as he is married and childless. This would seem to be a practical solution, but F ranees doesn't like to be parted from her daughter, nor is it likely that Sylvia would be happy away from her mother. Miss Norris replies that the child i happiness and future should be the first consideration considera-tion of her mother. adamant We will have other children, chil-dren, he says, and be will never love her as he does them. "What is the best way out of this for us all?" The best way out, Frances, was very possibly your surrender of the baby before you ever saw her face. If she Is what you describe, charming charm-ing and lovable, some adopted mother and father would all this time have been giving her a child's right love and security. It was your decision mat deprived her of this, and put you in today's position, with today's hard choice before you. Whatever you do, there is pain in it for you, and In the solutions you suggest there seems to be small consideration con-sideration for the child. Long ago she should have been placed beyond the reach of these disturbing and upsetting changes. A married man who could have a love affair with a college girl doesn't sound too safe a guardian, and the wife who knew hersell cheated will not make too loving a mother. Why not place this small girl with some kindly woman for say a year, marry your Karl and go to Norway. Make him so loving and efficient a wife that he will want, some day, only to make you happy. When you get your child back, once in your home, Sylvia will make her own way. Her own father and his wife seem to me unfit guardians. It would be a super-human wife indeed whe could truly love the child of hei husband by a younger woman. She has never bad children, and would not understand Sylvia, nor his fatherly fa-therly indulgence of Sylvia. Steei clear of them entirely, and betweer now and your wedding day, try tc build up between Sylvia and Karl friendship that may solve all this with no separation between you and the child at all. Since you are independent enough to face the age-old crisis of Sylvia'i birth five years ago, face this one too, always keeping In mind tna nothing else matters except that thi child shall be presently establishec in a loving and permanent home with a chance to forget the wrong) and changes that have upset hei babyhood.
