her baby so dressed for play will never

Another garment which eases the burden
OF the teething child is a wrapper which
may be got into in an instant. This is
cut like a paper dolls dress, with a gath
cred neck held in by an elastic, the long
sleeves and side seams being tied together
with tapes. Only a minute is required for
putting on such a wrapper or nightgown.

snow. These linen dresses, than which
nothing could be more durable, are trimmed
largely with colored embroideries in Greek
and Roman borders.
A dashing model for a girl Of 10 is OF
yellow and white linen, with bands Of black
Russian embroidery. A single band
borders the short, full skirt. The bodice
is In blouse shape, with the square-cut
neck opening over a high CAMP Of white
Hamburg in a small pattern. The embroid-
cry outlines this, running down each side
Of the front opening. A single band shapes
the belt, and two rows ornament the pulled
sleeves, which are made with shoulder
caps.
A decided reef has been taken in the long
bodies so long worn by children, whose
belts frequently appeared to have slipped
their moorlngs. The girdle line is now
kept at a normal point, merely falling be-
low the waist at the front, and the dressier
frocks show rosettes or crash ends at the
back.
Models with the skirt and waist

seen among the French importations. The

few children enjoy play with the nutter

re speak frankly, writes Lillian Bell In
Harper's Weekly, the point of view makes
old maids more than does lack of husbands.
l have seen many a married woman who
was nothing but an old maid, and many a
s~pinster who never would be anything but
a bachelor girl. The point OF view made
the difference.
While as to consolation! Look at the
poor sticks of men your best friends have
married, and see If that is not enough to
console the most ~forlorn old maid who ever
loved a cat instead Of a husband.
l always liked that story of the old maid
who, when urged to marry. said she had
no need of a husband, because she had a
parrot that swore, a lamp which smoked
and a cat that stayed out nights.
Nor would I advise the most single Of
women to adopt a career as a cure for her
loneliness. A career is a cold blooded
thing. If she must adopt something, let
her adopt an orphan. An orphan is liable
to prove much more satisfactory than a
career. "
But my strong fortress for the unrecon-
ciled spinster is not built by the work of
her hands, whether it be gg-gathering,
planting seeds or picking flowers. 1t lies
in the cultivation of her imagination and
