1»« en overshadowed by another vision,
that of M iJ. Mr ltdliind’s powerful enr

The Whimsical Comment.
But persistence lb trying to do any
thing T like has always been a pro
nounced trail of mine, whether a com
mendable one or not, I never have been
able to determine to »ny own satisfac
tion. and T realised before my minute of
Introspection was over that if only tho
opportunity offered I should be more
anxious to learn to drive than ever I
had been. The very fart of my Ignomini
ous failure would spur me on to prove
both to ipyself nnd to others that I
could achieve mv ambition.
But not with DPky! That question
was forever settled In my mind. My
short experience und*»r his tutelage had
proved beyond all doubt that I not only
failed to receive any benefit from his In
struction. but that his Impatience with
my slowness his Insistence that I could !
graap the rudiments of the art arid put
tlw»m Into practice almost without hu'-d
--tntlon, confuted me so completely that
what idons I did gather vanished abao
lutely from my mind.
1 did not dare to conjecture what my
father's question might mean. It opened
too dazzling a possibility before my
mind’s eye I contented myself with
quietly stating tho truth.
T would rather learn to drive a car
than do almost anything else In the
world,” I slid. "Rut to tell you the
truth, father. I cannot learn with Dlckv
teaching me, I don’t know why I j
fancy it is my fault hut. the day I was i
with him 1 got so confused that I did |
not know what I was doing 1 would I
never dare attempt It again.”
My father smiled whimsically.
"1 have yet to Meo the person, man or
woman, who enn learn from the teach
ing of a relative,” he said. "Of course.
I suppose there are unusually amiable
and placid persona who can accomplish
the feat, but I have never happened to
meet them. And you and Dicky are tli*»
last 1 1 . the world to attempt It. Please
believe there Ih no reflection upon either
of you In that la«t remark.”
Ho paused depreeatingly.
"Of course,” I said, breathlessly, kiss
ing him to hide m.v suspense What did
he mean by all this preamble?

Oh, la, la, la! L : ke the crackling of cat ice on a cold morning, is the|

Your Baby’s Ears—What to
Do and Not to Do for Them
By DR. LEONARD KEENE HIRSHBERG
A. 8., M. A., M. D. (Johns Hopkins University)
Tim eyes of a youngster arc often safeguarded, j
while the ears are neglected. The ears, neverthe- I ✓ Wk
less, are pilots as necessary to escape the dan- f jjga
gerous shoals and breakers of this li’fe as are the eyes. $3

A wise physician used to warn his patients “not
to put anything smaller than a piano in the ears.” Mm- «E#sli
This gargantuan exaggeration properly impressed ™ JBHOB
upon his auditors the importance of keeping the audi- Dli - hlrshbero

Running ears, head noises and deafness, partial or complete, may

a particularly cleanly or diligent parent

H>rc nro a few “don’ts" thAt should

Do not Use sweet oil, camphorated oil,
olive oil, mineral oil, vaseline or any
other oil in the ears.
Do not pur anything solid In the ear.
Do not think an earache la a trifling
i matter. Send for a physician whenever
| It appears.
Do not allow large tonsils and adenoids
to remain to impair the hearing.
If an Insect, fly or other object
enters the ear, summon your family
physician. He will use a little glue on
a camel’s hair brush or call an ear
specialist to remove the offender.
Meanwhile, if the child’s head Is held
sidewise with its mouth epen and the
side of the head back of the ear Is

ear is pulled firmly by the lobe, there Is
a chance that the object will drop cut.

Diary of a Fashion Model
She Discloses the Charms of a Prune Velvet Gown.
MISS RUTH MORROW cam* In to
order an afternoon draas. aayln*:
“Velvet is what I want, Madame,
and I’d like something different from
hlnck, brown or blue. T see those colors
everywhere. I’d even taka oUve green,
just to be different.”
''Olive preen velvet Is very attractive
with brown fur and exceedingly becom
ing to a girl with dark bronae hair like
yours," Madame said “But I have an
other shade —a charming tint of prune
velvet that will be perfect an yau-
Prune w a. very unusual shade, one you
won’t see often."
•‘l’ve always liked that dark purplish
color, and as you say, it certainly Isn't
commonplace,” replied Miss Morrow.
"It wouldn't be difficult to persuade me
to choose a gown of prune-colored vel
vet if Its lines were becoming to me.
Madame."
"The lines of thte gown are charming
ly girlish nd new.” Madame replied.
“Please show Mias Morrow the prune

This model is exceedingly lovely, and
there is a wonderful skunk hot trimmed

When the gown woe adjusted and T

dress, 1 came out. expectant of the ad
miration that this model always pro
duces.
"Oh, how chic!” said Miss Morrow. I
walkc l toward her and her bright eyes
ran over the dress. ”Oh, that little
cuff of magenta satin contrasts beauti
fully with the purptieh shade of the
velvet! And the lingerie cuff of oream
bit Iste and lace I like very much.”
"The sleeves are one of the most at
tractive features of this gown.” ob
served Madame. “The smoothly-fitting
Rhoulder-lipe of the velvet, then the
band of fur oontmated with the ma
genta satin, and lastly the cuff of sheer

gloves worn with this gown, Miss Mor

“Oh. every detail of the aestume is
lovely. I particularly like the bias dos
ing of the bodice.” she said.
' Yes. that line accented by the row
of velvet buttons and bound buttonholes

"The skirt is very full, Madame.” ob
served Miss Morrow'.
“Yes, the bouffant akirt is a fashion
to be reckoned with, you know. For
tunately chiffon velvet is so eoft and so
beautiful in the shading of its folds
that It stands the fulness as well as any
material I know. Velvet should bo
gathered and draped to do It Justice.”
“The crossing of the two lines of
