Right Clothes Help Children Beat The Heat By DOROTHY V.WHIPPLE, M.D. AP NfWSfMtllTfS Let's not just grouch and groan through the heat waves we're bound to fcave every summer. There are a few things we can do to keep the whole family a little more comfortable. Take the question of clothing. The four principles of hot weath er clothing are Loose fit, light veight, porous texture and light color. Snug clothing prevents the cir culation of air around the body. There is little opportunity for perspiration to evaporate. Evap oration is nature's way of cooling us off. Watch the children's clothes and see to it that arm holes are wide and loose that neck and leg openings are roomy and free At the rate at which children grow you need to he especially careful that they are not made extr;f uncomfortable in hot weather with tight, outgrown clothing. Hot weather clothing needs to he Light in weight hut even more ii^^Hant it should he porous, M^Wit air can circulate through it as well as around it Cotton has always been a summer stand by and still is. Some of the new miracle fabrics are also porous, hut some are not. For summer time pick your miracle fabrics, with this quality in mind as well as the fact that they do not re quire ironing. While you and the children are out in the sun light, colored clothing will reflect the sun's rays, while dark colors absorb them. You're cooler in light colored clothes. The baby's clothes should fol low the same principles as those for the rest of the family. When it's very hot the baby needs only a diaper and a loose fitting por ous garment! He's better off if you do put a loose top garment on him than if you leave him with only a diaper. Babies, like the rest of us. perspire when it's hot. But babies chill very easily too. You know how you feel when you're all wet with perspiration and there's a sudden breeze?you're chilly. A baby will sometimes get so chilled that lie becomes sick. Keep a loose fitting shirt on the baby even in hot weather. And another thing for the baby ? leave off the rubber pants dur ing a heal wave. The tight non porous quality of any waterproof protection is very heating. If you're very anxious for some pro tection from the baby's sudden deluges use wool soakers. Con trary to what you might think ihey are much less heating than the thin but tight rubber or plas tic pants. On the baby's bed put one or even two non-waterproof quilted pads between any waterproof pro tection you have over the mat tress. If you don't believe a rub ber sheet is hot just try lying on one some night when the temperature is in the nineties. You'll never make your baby do it if you've ever done it your self. Three-In-One School Dress < TIIKEE-PART HARMONY ... For the first day of school our young student wears a "duette" consisting of suspender dress of fine cotton broad cloth and under-dress of gav plaid gingham. Next day she wears the under-dress alone. And for the party after sehool, Mom brings a spie-and span white pique petti-blouse, to be worn under the pretty suspender dress. All are designed by Celeste, to go together By DOROTHY ROE Associated l'ress Women's Editor SMART MOTHERS iiave dis covered the changeabou) ward robe for the kindergarten set Grown-ups have been enjoying tii;' mix-or-match idea for years, in blouses, skirts and jackets. But the younger set can achieve the same results with suspender dresses. One New York designer, Celeste, has come up with the "duette" dress for pint-size glam or girls. It consists of an out fit in two parts, which may be worn separately and interchang ed with other things. The idea starts with a jumper and a coordinated under-dress, instead of the usual blouse, which is always pulling out at the waist. This acts as both blouse and petticoat, and is so carefully styled and finished that it can be worn separately, as another dress for school or play. An added attraction is a sep arate potti-blouse in white pique to be worn with the same jump er. the top precisely tailored in the best blouse fashion, with tiny tucks and minute ocean-pearl but tons, attached to a full skirt with ruffled flounce. Thus Mom can buy the jumper outfit, complete with under-dress, add a white petti-blouse, and have three outfits for her small school belle. All three are cut to go to gether, and extra petticoats are unnecessary. It's a great way to initiate a small charmer into the science of a planned and coordinated ward robe ? and it's easy on Mom's budget, too. Noon Meal Is Important To Children's Good Health Making sure the youngsters get a balanced diet every day be comes a more complicated prob lem for mother with the return of school days. Key to the problem is to know what part of the daily food re quirements are supplied by the school lunch, so that other meals can be planned to round out the balanced diet. Since lunch is usually eaten away from home, mother often needs to play the role of a skill full ? and tactful ? detective. First, she must find out what is provided for the school lunch; then she has the more difficult task of discovering what .lohnn> and Susie actually eat Checking up on the school lunch is easiest when the lunch is packed at home. Foods that go into the lunch box can be selected to do their share in the child's over-all diet, and they can be planned for variety and plenty of appetite appeal When lunch is supplied at schoql through a cafeteria or the National School Lunch Program, mother should check with the school to learn about lunch facil ities and menus. Some schools send weekly menus home for mother to see in advance In some types of school lunch programs, the meal must he sup plemented by foods brought from home. Again, careful planning is required to be sure the additional foods do their part in balancing the diet. At a minimum, the lunch program will provide the always important and popular beverage, milk. Detective skill comes into play in learning what the children ac tually eat.
