simple lines, is a feature Of Juvenile
raiment this season. That is, little
frocks that are quantity old-fashioned
in their lines are made from plain ma
terials and are little trimmed. This
means very short, puffed sleeves,
square or round necks, showing the
flesh literally. rather long, skirted ef-
fects, no ruffies or tucks, but deep
hens and short stockings or socks
with diminutive black slippers.
This innovation Of extreme sim
plicity is a boon to both mothers and
children. II means far less labor to
the mother. far less fussing for the
children. Five or six of these simple
little dresses in the weekly laundry
does not mean so much, but were they
covered with tucks frills, lace and en-
broidery the work would be trebled.
An old style that is revived, is the
bishop dress for the youngsters to
play in, and if made in fine material is
quite pretty enough to visit in. How
ever it works up SO well in little
checks, with just touch of embroi-
derry at the neck and sleeves, that it
is most popular in that sort of mate
rial. The sleeves of these bishop
dresses form a part Of the dress and
are joined. right on to the neck band.
and you cannot imagine how child
welcomes the freedom of these little
play frocks.
The same simplicity is found in out
er garments, and the plain long coat
that falls in unbroken lines from the
shoulders is the favorite for young
children, and it is always becoming
to them.
Time was when belts were used,
fancy buttons, colored braids and
even lace, but those must all be put
away for another time. A little vel
vet collar can hardly be classed as
trimming. TO some children who are
particularly pale or sallow. it lends a
tone to their cheeks, and for such
children it is recommended.
Almost all the babies are wearing
little plain pique hats, the tops OF
which are buttoned on These little
hats protect the babys eyes and are
readily laundered. For the little one
who still wears cap, one made Of
sheer handkerchief is as pretty and
effective as those costing much
more.
These should be fitted to the head
of the child and tied with tiny pink
or blue ribbon under the chin Sun
bonnets for the children who play out
doors are again much worn, and can
readily be made at home, while the
older children who wear straw hats
have them trimmed with just an ex-
tremely large bow of ribbon or a
wreath of flowers.

TRAPPING RABBITS.
Why the Proposition Of store-Keeper
Didn't Pan Out.

"There are lots of rabbits in the
woods back of the rye field, and I've
got six box-traps in the barn. If you'll
see to EN- every morning well set the
traps now" This proposition made
to a 14-yearold boy, says Mr.. Fred
Mather, the author of Men | Have
Fished With, seemed fine PROPOSE
ton, and the boy instantly agreed. He
was to put the captured rabbits in a
bag. and the man who owned the traps
was to take care of them. The boy
tells the story:
THE next night was clear and crisp,
and oh how cold that morning wasl
The first trap was inspiring. The sec
ond actually held a rabbit. There was
the game crouched in the far end |

ments enjoyed my triumph | was a
mighty trapperl
Il carefully adjusted the bag over
the trap, and then opened it. There
was thud in the bottom Of the bag,
and then a glimpse Of something gray
and sound of Zip! zip!' and if that
really was rabbit it was gone.
THE third trap held rabbit, and
with the last failure in mind. great
care was taken in arranging the bag,
but somehow the same thing h Spened
again. The next two traps were empty
and the sixth was sprung.

hand and brought the animal out some
way, memory fails to record how, but
1t does bring back the pitiful cries
that rang through the woods. But
hardened my heart and dropped the
game in the bag, and started for homo
with my prize, in triumph not unmixed
with other feelings.
After pondering for a while on the
escape of the other two rabbits, the
recollection of those pitiful cries came
up in full force. Then / seemed to

eyes and a trembling form were in
the corner. Somehow the grip on the
mouth of the bag was loosened, the
bottom was turned up, and white

bobbing off into the brush.

voeuEs IN CHIFFON Wells.
Some Novelties Among the Many
Varieties Shown.

As for the long chiffon wells, their
variety is infinite. They are seen in
every color with light gray, London
smoke and champagne color leading
favorites These wells are made up
and measure three yards long. One
very stylish veil in brown has broad
hemstitched hem and above it a two
inch box plat hemstitched through
the middle.
Some Of the shorter chiffon wells,
one and one-half yards long, are hem
stitched, and have large velvet dots
quite far apart These dots are usual
ly OF a contrasting color, as gray with
black velvet dots, tan with brown, anG
blue or pink with black. A white
chiffon VEIL with small white velvet
pin dots, is extremely popular.
The most practical automobile veil
is square. 1t is of chiffon cloth one
and one-half yards square, and
hemmed all around. 1t comes in every
color, but the light tan, gray, lavender
and a warm red brown are specially
lovely. This veil is put entirely over
the hat, with the edges even all
around. and is pinned firmly at the
back of the neck.
Among the novelties in long wells is
a pink silk tissue, with two-inch
hem and a pin-point thread dot in
white. Another is lace veil, in
either black. cream or a deep shade
II
with broad border of embroidered
flowers and foliage in silver thread. A
mousseline veil that comes in many
colors has a border of shadow EN-
broidery in a deeper tone of silk, with
small. self-colored silk dots.
Whether draped or worn over the
face. the veil win this season, as ever
before, be one of the most important
accessories of woman's toilet.

A Friend in Need.

house over there is where he and his
little girl lives
The house looked as badly in need
of repairs as the barn. AS she looked
Emily saw dodge ont of sight behind
the side of it little girl of about
her own age, with a mass Of tangled
hair and very tattered dress.
Mrs. Spencer welcomed Emily cor
daily, and she felt at home from the
very first.
Everything was so new that Emily
found much enjoyment in her walks
about the place.
After awhile she took longer trips
from the house, and often passed by
the barn of Peter Tumbledown.' .
Sometimes she saw the ragged little
girl, but as Emily was just a wee
bit proud because she came from the
city, and besides the girl was so very,
very dirty looking, she never spoke
to her
Near by was q beautiful lake with
a tiny island right in the center of it..
One day Emily ventured into a boat
that lay by the shore and padded out
to the island.
Lying down to rest for a few mo-
ments she fell asleep. and it was
late in the afternoon when she awoke.
You can imagine how frightened
she was when she found that the boat
had gone adrift and that there was no
way of getting back to shore.
while she was wondering what to
do, she saw approaching her another
boat, and in it the ragged girl Of
"Tumbledown Cottage"
IF you don't mind coming into my
boat" said she shyly, when quite
near, Il can take you to land"
I'D be glad to-" gratefully replied
Emily. and I'm much obliged to you
for your trouble"
Emily soon learned that the little
girls name was Ally, that she never
went to school, and that her dog, Gyp,
was all she ever had to play with.
Ally really wasn't so bad once you
knew her, and, too. you could not but
pity her.
Emily thanked her again as she
left for home, and they parted quite
friendly
Mr.. and Mrs. Graham came the
next day, so she had no chance to see
Ally for some time. After that, how
ever, they met often, and Emily soon
found that although Ally had not been
to school, there was nothing in the
country that she and Gyp did not
know.
Mr.. Graham believes that Emily
learned more from Ally about grow
ing things than she ever learned in
school.
Emily thinks so, too, and she has
learned, besides, that though a little
girl may be ragged, she may still be
worth while having for a friend

Now that her father had given this

The Spencers lived in little vii
lage on the side Of mountain and
they had invited the Grahams to
spend a vacation with them. Mr.. and
Mrs. Graham had yet to make ar
rangements before departing, but
Emily had hardly known what to do
with herself since school had closed
and was glad of the consent to go at
once.
Arriving at the little station, Emily
was met by Mr.. Spencer in a light
carriage, for there was still some
little distance to go. She had seen
him often in the city, and so they
were well acquainted with one an
