The rage for boIeros is unabated'
and it allows all sorts Of happy expe-
dents in the way of combination Co.'S
tunes. AS for instance, black gren-
adine is made over an ivory striped
silk. The jaunty, short bolero IS sep
arate from the brocaded ivory Whlle
grenadine of the bodice. This bodice
shows in perfect modelling to the hg-
ure in the back, and is like a loosely
pIeated front from chin to belt. The
belt is simply a roll of black satlh'
with a handsome bow at one SIDE LOT
a finish. The little bolerO turns DacK
with a pair of jaunty revers and IN
der them is set a fall Of lace that the
outline of the revers may be clear. Ihis
same little bolero can be worn over
black satin blouse, the result being
very stunning black costume. Or course
the brocaded ivory grenadine can also
be used with something else, as sleeves
are provided that hook on at the shout
der. When the sleeves are on the bro
cade is at once a complete bodice, ana
worn under a green velvet bolero and
cashmere skirt the effect is as jaunty
az If it had been made for use with
the green.

Clothes for LITTLE wenrsrs.

Though women of fashion in half
sizes, like the pair sl1etched below
haven't the freedom of choice in dress
matters that their elders have, their in
terest in such matters is usually ouite
as great. and while adults only take
satisfaction in new costumes. the little
women find delight in them. While il
is a mistake to give so much attention
to children's dresses as to make dolls
out of them, it is wise to let them he
gin early to take interest in the an
pearance they make. and surely if the
tot knows that her very best dress is
something that has cost mamma a deal
of pains. she viii take the better care
of it, and prize it the more highly. The
two little gowns shown here should
be satisfying to the wearers and MAX
ers alike. That at the left was made
OF light red cashmere, its full skirt

hanging in deep plaits at the sides
The little bodice had a cut-out filled
in with a white silk yoke and collar
its double revers were black velvet
banded with lace, and the sleeves had
tight cuffs and small puffs. A fancy
cord ornament appeared on the bodice
in front, and belt of red satin ribbon
confined the waist.
Blue and white dotted cloth was the
fabric of the other little dress, whose
skirts had a panel of dark blue silk in
the center of the front, pearl buttons
ornamenting the cloth edges. The bod
ice was gathered back and front, had
a blue silk yoke and rippled basque.
Neither of these dresses offers serious
problems for the mother who is ac-
customed to make her daughters cloth
ing, and each one would make its little
wearer as proud as a duchess.
Boys at the age of these pictured
lassies used to have as little to say
about the style of their get-ups as their
small sisters, but the youngsters have
won their mothers over, for it is fad
now to put the little chaps into long
trousers as soon as possible. If his
trousers are of sailor cut, they are cut
wide over the foot, and if the mother
is notional, the fronts are creased. The
mother still fiourishes and
all sorts of wonderful velvet and frilled
shirt rigs are offered for her choice,
but the boy who marches out into the
,.;or hax in,
Der boots, storm cap and stout trousers,
is the better-looking youngster of the
two.

In order to insure the proper preser-
walton of oranges and lemons, these
fruits are sailed in Italy as hams are
here. although the process is slightly
different. The fruit is culled while
still green and carefully examined.
Those found fiawless are placed into
salt water, where they are left for
from three to eight days, according to
their state of maturity. They are then
put away on shelves to dry and rest.
