LOOK TO COMFORT
IN CHOOSING CHAIRS

One of the qualities most necessary
in the choosing of chairs is to see that
they are comfortable. which is a harder
thing than at first thought appears
There's nothing much more unpleasant
than going TO a card party or a porch
party-any sort of an affair where you
sit for a couple Of hours-and finding
yourself in an uncomfortable chair.
Everybody has them-the prettiest
chairs are often uncomfortable one way
or another The seat may be too high.
or the back awkwardly curved SO that
a corner or roll of the wood seems
TO run into your back; or the arms may
be badly placed, so that You can neither
rest your arms on them nor escape them
for comfortable moving.
The trouble usually is that chairs are
more frequently bought from the way
they look. instead of a combination OF
the way they look with the way they
feel
Those. tiny chairs, high and narrow,
are the most uncomfortable things i'm
aginable But big chairs may be quite
as observation-disclosures the great, roomy
looking kind that lock as If they were
the very Incarnation of comfort.
Try every chair you buy, and take
some one of normal size along with
you if you're an ..odd size individual.
Have some low enough for the small
mor.als who visit you 10 sit back in and
plant their feet firmly on the floor at
the same time, instead of dangling over
the edge Have some deep-seated, big
chairs, with backs well curved. with
nothing in the way of cross supports
to press against your spine. Have 9
!. chair or two with a back high enough
10 rest your head against; and if you va
rockers, see that they're not the treach-
erous kind that give an extra tilt back
ward suddenly. seriously disturbing
your equanimity. if not your center OF
equilibrium
Try every chair two or three ways
every sort OF chair. from the stiff leath-
er covered dining room chairs (which
may be perfectly comfortable in spite
of their apparent stiffness> to the peril
| ousiy delicate little things with the spid-
cry legs which appear here and there. in
drawing rooms and parlors.

Of the smartly gowned child. She wears
white for all purposes and all occa-
sions Almost the only variation from
this rule IS an occasional frock of blue
or tan linen; dress Of pongee and a
little riding habit Of khaki cloth
All manner of linen lawns. heavier
linens and fine cotton fabrics are used
for making dresses for children, and
they are cut according TO the weigh,
of the material and its softness or stiff
ness of weave.
Necks for children's gowns are inva-
riably cut round or square, with more
of preference for round necks. and
their sleeves are built much on the or
der of those made for grown-up peo-
pie. with puffs to the elbow and more
or less elaboration. The trimming. how
ever, is lighter in character, and there
isn't nearly as much of 1t as there is

nine years.
A square yoke is gathered to round
lace neekband. and inserting is put IL
square upon the shoulder above a full
deep shoulder f1ounce- This material
may be either gathered or tucked be-
tween rows of inserting
The little bodice is not very full, ana
is finished with a wide, loose belt of
tucks and inserting. A full bow, with
long ends ruffied at the bottom, is placed
on the left side OF the shoulder founce.
The short skirt is very full. and is
trimmed with two rows Of lace insert
ing around the lower portion, with a
cluster Of tucks between. A full nounce
of lace completes the adornment OF the
skirt.
The sleeve Is a full puff, terminating
in two rows of shirring and followed by
a second puff gathered Into an en-
broidered cuff at the wrist
Pulled sleeves are SO popular among
children that they appear in many
forms, from the single puff on the up
per arm to rows Of small pufings down
the wheIe length OF the sleeve.
