~ ITHER the new make Of clothes
is not amenable to reason or the
new brand of girl is not, for
mothers are experiencing a lot OF

distinct style for each year of girls
life until her requirements parallel
those of her mother. Then for a time an

Not many decades ago the dressing of
girl was a very simple matter, for her
outer garments were miniature copies Of
her mothers in shape, and she wore
simple things plainly made. Her dresses,
whether gingham. calico. dotted swiss,
or meriuo. were made with a plain skirt
with a tuck IN it. gathered 10 plain
waist with a tuck in its sleeve-for
things We're expected to outlast sea-

her little sister OF today has views on
