look better after the little children, foF
why should they suffer cold, hunger and
pain when this world has such an album
dance Of what they need9
Lot us rather take the little Minnies,
Armies and Gretchens out Of their
wretched homes and dress them up 10
tho newest styles for once. On one We
will put pretty spring heel shoes and
brown woolen stockings, knit draweu
which reach her ankles, and n warm
flannel skirt and undervest. Over this
brown flannel gown, Gretchen style. and
for out doors q pearl white cider down
flannel coat, with bit of a hood In the
back, and tied with cord and balls around
the waist. A cunning little cap made Of
the same, and lined and trimmed With
scarlet satin like the hood to the cloak.
For her cousin blue and pink striped
cloak Of tho same material with dark
bluo velvet cuffs and belt, and little
bonnet Of tho same, o comfortable littla
blue merino dress and knit undergax.
ments, and o good, wholesome dinuee
under them. No wonder she would
look sweet and rosy. Her dearea
friends and next door neighbors should
have, first, a0bcavcr cloth coat In darb
red with plush bands and belt and
coxy hood Of the same with plush 70
setto ON top and serviceable plaid wool
dress and knit undergarinents. Ths
other should have pale blue elder down
coat with n waist Of velutina trimmed
with littlo pretty figured braid, and
close bonnet OF velutina to match -
dark blue.
These two coats should be long and
warm, and the last should cover Q llttl6
gown Of red figured flannel, and eacl
should havo clean white aprons to wsAs
at home to keep their dresses clean, jusl
such as the richest women put on their
little children. Some Of the little oueG
could have warm Astrakhan coats, otheu
plush, plaid. or velvet even. and Soma
should have tho silky long pile plush,
Just the color Of ivory and rich yellow
cream. They should all have fashion
able black or brown stockings, thick and
warm and nice little knit mittens and
cunning mites OF muffs to tuck thsll
dimplcd hands in. These muffs would
be OF Persian lamb. for they arc just tha
style.
And Il doesn't cost 30 very much
either to dress your children up In tn
height OF the present fashion. A very
good quality Of plush costs 81 90; quail.
ity quito good enough, 81; velntina, e1t
elder down flannel about fifty cents, aud
beaver cloth is $3.50, double width. II
takes about three yards Of plush, two
and half OF velutina and one and {
half OF beaver for cloak for q 3-years
old, and this, with trimmings, Is very
reasonable garment that any mother can
make. The quaint little gowns can b
of almost any material, dark being pre-.
ferred, and tasty mother can make .
little close bonnet out Of the scraps that
are left over.
II every mother would buy enough to
two children, and make one for her lit
tie ono and one for her poorer neigs ore
child, tho babies might all be ind
well dressed. But thu
