ionables who are continually telling US
there is nothing new under the sun
something TO talk about. Wherever the
idea of the artist designer has foeen
preached among those who possess
wealth and are members of the court
of fashion, nothing but praises has
been heard. 1t seems quite likely that
lecture into the full blown flower of
fashion by the time mat season ar
rives when DIR. Gilbert tells US the
flowers bloom that have nothing to do
with the case.
This is the era of common sense

not meant to convey the idea that there
is anything new about the weather,
because where ali kinds of weather
prevail there is nothing that can be
new II is simply an effort to convey
the fact to the minds of those who
read this story of fashion that the most
fashionable women in the most notable
haunts of fashion no longer trail their
skirts in the slush and mud. In other
words, the short skirt is really with
US, and seems to have established
permanent hold on the minds of all
of US who are forced to confine our
selves solely to feminine attire.
The rainy day skirt and costume
which the Brooklyn, n. Y, club has
brought into prominence has become
to a great extent familiar to everyone.
But the new winter and spring ar

How manv of our readers are at

things which the mother or older sis

borne in mind. One. of course, was
how you should be suitably and COM
fortably clad. The other was how the
process of selecting what was suitable
and right for you should be made a
part of your education. Probably about
one mother in twenty-five thought
of the last. The others were
considering how fast your legs
were growing long, and how
to get the thing that would do for this
time and bear to be let down when you
outgrew it. and not be too expensive
to put upon growing girl. Now
just that part of the education that

Stephen Fiske in the January Ladies'

the pillowslips and white coverlet were
so soiled by the pressure of hundreds
of fingers that they had to be twice

The Development of Good Taste In

Many people have a way of thinking
thai the one object that interests a
young girl is her clothes; that she
cares more about what she shall wear,
and how she shall look, and how she
shall impress other people by her at

in the world. This is not true. except
in very limited way All through the
child-life. it is the fate of little girls
to have everything concerning their
dress decided for them. They are very
lucky children whose parents are rich
enough so that they never have to
wear the ''made-over" clothing of their
older sisters.
One bright girl who was bemoaning
the fact that never in her life had she
had anything but "cut-dOwn" dress,
added brightly, but if 1 had had new
dresses I would not have had older
sisters. and rather than not have had
my sisters, l would have worn buds
to the end of my days" So even the
made-over dress had it's compensation.
