The waist is made over a fitted lin

in deep pleats that extend over to the

A sensible mother said one day, in
discussing the methods she had fol-
lowed in bringing up her children, that
the old-fashioned swing would give a
growing boy all the gymnastic exercise
he needed. She might have added that
it was equally good for small growing
girls.
This device, one of the simplest and
least expensive known to man, has al
most gone out of fashion for children.
Anybody who was brought up in a
country village, where the swing was
as much a part of the furniture of the
yard as was the front doorstep, knows
what delight it was to children of all
ages and sizes. To one who possesses
these memories the modern apology for
swing, with its Battle-Ground seat and
ugly framework, is positively painful.
Where is the chance for exercise in
that machine? What child old enough
to have a mind of its own wants to get
into cradle and be swung back and
forth by nurse?
The old-fashioned swing was a rope

''swing standing up" until the rope was
nearly horizontal, the weight of the
body holding it taut, so that the danger
of accidents was practically non-exist.

had from the swings We're, in nine

Never has the cult of the jewel been
studied with greater Zest than it is at
present, let alone the fact that jewelry
is more worn than ever, and that there
is immense scope for the skill of the
designer. 1t is fad of the owners of
fine gems to have them reset OCCASION

selves. Louis Quinze and Louis Seize
designs are the genres of the moment
and lend themselves particularly well
to the setting of the diamonds and en-
eralds, while the large cabochons are
likewise very much in vogue and give
piquancy to n dainty and elaborate
piece of bijouterie.
The huge single emerald is effective
in rings, while for the corsage all sorts
of birds, fern and flower designs are
to be seen. The prettiest style of coif-
fure ornament for the regular featured
type of face is the little circular ban
deau formed of minute, multi-colored
gems with large pearl or diamond
just on the forehead. 1t gives dis
tinctly Egyptian effect.
Enamelled wreaths sparkling with
an occasional diamond like a drop of
dew in among the leaves are charming.
They require that the hair should be
coiffe to the very best advantage-so
arranged. in fact, that the wreath nes-
ties becomingly into it and does not
stand out aggressiyely.
The very latest use to which jewels
are being put is for the enriching of
old laces. AS a matter of fact, the idea
of supplementing really exquisite
founce of old lace with anything at
all, even though it be with priceless
gems, seems at first thought almost
heresy, but only those who have seen
this gem-set lace can judge how beau
tiful the effect is.-New York CONNER

The manual part of their instruction
IS housewifery. They learn to make
their blue gingham gowns. They prick
their unaccustomed, little, aboriginal
fingers with needles and the threads
grow red from the blood that trickles
from their wounds. They learn to
wash and to iron. Even knowledge
of tluting is not denied them. They
are taught the difficult art of bed-mak-
ing in the long white dormitories where
they take their institutional sleep.
They learn to cook American dishes in
the American fashion. Oatmeal, hash,
mashed potatoes and pie take the place
of the jrijoles and the roots they knew
about the tepee.

their Paris dolls. They have toy tubs,
