PRESERVE the Child's Clothes.

A form board is a necessity in a
household where there are children
whose clothing IS constantly shrinking
and getting out Of shape
This board is made when the gar
ments are new, or so nearly new that
their original shape is rot destroyed.
A perfect pattern is cut of the little
trousers, for instance, then this is
taken to a carpenter, who cuts out a
form board Of qrarter-inch stuff which
has been planed we'll on both sides.
After the forms are carved out, the
edges are rounded and we'll smoothed
with sandpaper, SO that the garments
will not be hard TO put on.
A hole is bored in the top Of each
form to hang it by when the garments
are drying. Several articles can be
dried on a form at one time.

A pretty imported model that can
be initiated in any dark material for
ordinary usage is of pale tan serge,
almost champagne III tone, with trim
mings of sky blue MORE silk stitched
in black. The blouse is worn over an
inside waist Of white lawn mounted by
cloth plastrOn showing an emblem
embroidered in pale blue.
The jacket is quite new i'll design.
The shaped sailor collar of sky blue
MORE silk is carried down the front
in Y design, and is held together by
blue cords and tassels. Thence it
flares in a sort Of cutaway over the
lawn inside waist to the hip line,
where it is finished by a pale blue
glazed belt ornamented with black
stars.
The black glazed hat has a blue
satin band and streamers showing the
same star design as decoration. This
pretty costume, sufficiently dressy for
dancing school or little function of
any kind, is worn with white socks
and fine kid shoes. The latter, of
course, should be replaced by slippers
or patent leather ties for dancing

delicate Colors Can Be Initiated IN Dark and
Serviceable Materials

trousers are very full, and blOused in
carefully adjusted gathers at the knee.
The tunic, for it is more Of tunic
than a blouse, is fitted and hared with
out fitness. 1t fastens in the front,
and is decorated on either side by
dark green braid and caught at the
waist by the usual glazed belt to match
the cloth.
The sailor collar is carried over the
plastron i'll deep point and brought
sharply over the shoulders into the
wide collar finished by three rows OF
braid and cord and taSsel. The sleeves
are all innovation of the season, and
are of 4 style used on many of the
new suits. They are the usual bag
shape, but before reaching the wrist
they taper and tighten into a cuff Of
white serge.
This sensible school suit is worn
with black stockings and stout laced
boots. A mother with a sense of the
artistic will consider it necessary to
have her young hopeful's hair cut i'll a

AS a general rule, model costumes
are described i'll delicate colors, as be-

style can be initiated i'll dark and ser

monplace suit can be transformed into
pretty, effective costume by the adj
dition of contrasting cuffs and collars
Of cloth or silk.

He is also very fond of skins, and
he has strong box filled with sables

Ferns are the latest ana by far the
prettiest decoration for overmantels.
Make a wooden box two and half
feet long and five inches wide. Let it
be three inches high in the back and
one in front. Fill it full Of mixture
of rich mould and sand, and then plant
about two or three dozen ferns in it.
Those IN front must be planted in
such manner that they will droop
over the edge Of the box.
Place this box in the center of the
overmantel, and put over it dark
bronze candlestick, with a red shade.
