Delicate Colors Can Be Initiated IN Dark and
Serviceabe Materials

trousers are very full, and blOused in
carefully adjusted gathers at the knee.
The tunic, for it is more of a tunic
than blouse, is fitted and flared with
out fitness. It fastens in the front,
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 III 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 an innovation of the season, and
are of style used on many of the
new suits They are the usual bag
shape, but before reaching the wrist
they taper and tighten into 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 in a
Russian blouse.
AS a general rule, model costumes
are described i'll delicate colors, as be-
ing more suggestive and more diff
cult to design. Almost any dressy
style can be initiated i'll dark and SER

dition of contrasting cuffs and collars

PERuS OF POSTMEN IN CITIES

weather through the snow across va
cant lots, possibly half mile, to de-
liver one letter Is not only very I'M
pleasant, but often positively danger
Gus. Frequently, carriers have been
so benumbed and exhausted by wad-
ing through SNOW up TO their waists
that they would have collapsed except
for the kindness of recipients of the
mail. Scores of times the poStmen in
every suburb have been called into
homes and given hot tea or coffee, to
keep them from yielding to cold and
fatigue
TO the average postman, however,
the special peril to be guarded against
is the ever-present mongrel dog One
veteran carrier put the case tersely
when he said:
Il would rather carry the mail i'll
Hell'S Kitchen, New York, or South
Clark street or Boiler avenue, Chica-
90. or Chinatown, San Francisco, than
have a nice suburban route in a large
city, with the peril of the mongrel dog
with you at all times"

~ ESPITE the ordinary belief, it
is just as safe to deliver mail
IL in the toughest district as it
is in the most fashionable sec
ton of large city. Indeed, 1t IS safer
than in the suburban districts, where
each family occupies a house by itself.
There is something about the letter
mans business-the fact that he wears
that gray uniform of Uncle Sans pos
tai service and that the United States
Courts have no mercy on anyone in
terfering with the mails-that causes 4
tough TO think twice before he at
tempts any interference. A little bit
of tact on the carriers part in deal
ing with drunken man or woman in
the tenement district removes any
likelihood of trouble. OF course, such
a mail route is not the pleasantest in
the world, but the element of risk is
conspicuous by its absence.
While tfe letter carrier in the sub
urbs of a large city hasn't so many
flights of stairs TO climb as in tene-
ment districts, he is up against the dog
problem. The sound of the post
mans whistle is often the signal for a
dozen ours to gather in front yards
and await the carrier, who will be
followed to the door and off the prem
iSes by a Snarling brute awaiting an
opportunity to seize the man by the
leg. In some places, where particu-
larly vicious dog is kept, the peril Is
such that the letter carrier IS not COM
PEELED to deliver the mail. The owner
is notified, and he either gets rid of the
dog or goes to the post Office for his
letters.
The mail man has other troubles
too, both winter and summer, in the
suburbs Newly developed neighbor-
hoods, with long stretches OF vacant
property, as a rule, give no shade OF
protection against the sun in sum
mer, while in down town district one
side Of the street or route IS usually
shady, and, if the carrier has the
sunny side going one way, he has TIKI
shady side coming the other.
But II is in winter that the suburban
postman is really subject to consider
able peril and suffers much privatior
and hardship. Tramping in colo

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 quarter-inch stuff which
has been planed well on both sides.
After the forms are carved out, the
edges are rounded and well smoothed
with sandpaper, so that the garments
will not be hard to put on.
4 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.

white sicilienne with shield and collar

sailor suits, the knee trousers were
fitted and finished with white pearl
buttons. The red silk plastron showed
an emblem embroidered in white silk.

true to tradition, the collar was fast
ened by silk tie with flowing ends,
for what is sailor lad without his
knot?
The young hosts on this occasion
were two lads somewhat older than
their guests Both were CARRIED in
English MILDLY suits of butchers linen,
with collar and cuffs Of navy blue.
The necks flared open IN true sailor
fashion, and the deep collar was fin
ished by three rows Of white braid
and a flowing tie. My attention was
drawn to the cuffs, which were of
new and elegant design, more elabo-
rate than is usually seen on the sailor
suit The long trousers, too, were of
most careful cut, and the stout boots
were shapely and natty The English
MILDLY suit, beyond all others, should
be worn with discretion, and only by
lads of slender figures and graceful
carriage. The Russian blouse, on the
contrary, is ideal for the sturdy,
chubby boy who is addicted to mis-
chievouS manliness.

feet long and five inches wide. Let it
