Of early autumn 70 prepare the c'otn-

wait like the foolish virgin Till her need
has come To supply herself with neces-
sites The plain winter clothing which
Is necessary for everyday wear Is al
ways the first thing 70 b. attended TO-
When the family are comfortably sup

the inclemency Of the weather.
and they are apt TO rail At their un-
happy fate when they find themselves
suffering from their own appropriateness.
II Is somewhat marvellous TO those who
have never attempted to solve by pru-
dence by domestic problems how far q
small amount Of money may DC made
to 60 or how much genuine comfort
can be obtained by prudent manage
ment Of little. II is only the indo-
lent and slovenly in management who

long as they have their health and
strength
Plain all-wool flannel cloths are made
in this country ut prices which bring
them within the reach OF everyone,
either in plain or tricot weave, and they
make serviccable winter dresses for
children and grown people, which may
be cleaned and even put through the
weekly wash without any detriment to
their appearance, provided they are
made in a sensible. suitable manner.
Nothing makes a more sensible and
more durable dress for farmers children
than these American cloths. Two
navy blue dresses, trimmed rs daintily
as you please. with white or black
braid. made with full skirts and full
blouses, long enough to allow for the
slight shrinkage that takes place in
washing. with a few white aprons, will
keep little girl looking neat and com
fortably clad all winter long. These
dresses can be made up at home in q
short time, and after one seasons weas
may be made over anew, or even after
two seasons wear for younger child.
There are heavy woven beaver cloths
which make the most serviceable and
durable Of winter wraps. In order to
insure warmth and comfort. the winter
cloak Of little girl under ten years old
should reach below the edge of her
dress. Even for older schoolgirls, moth
ing is so serviceablc and comfortable as
q Newmarket. The best skirts for q
school girl are made Of warm flannel.
properly gored with simple plated
ruffie around the edge. Two balmorals
Of this kind are sufficient for everyday
wear. The children must now be sup
piled with heavy winter shirts Those
OF merino. or better yet Of rib b ed wool,
are most desirable. Warm drawers
extending over the knee. heavy wooden
stockings, comfortable. loosel v fitting

skirts may button. may be added for
her outfit. Heavy winter shoes. made
