CHILDREN'S CLOTHES.
Attractive Styles For the Wee Summer
Giriie.

In one sense of the word all dresses
for children are one piece dresses, but
some are cut literally in one piece,
While others are cut with waist and
skirt in separate sections, which In
making are sewed together and when
finished present one piece garment.
Usually the little frocks which are cut
literally In one piece are on the play
clothes order, and these are very sim
pie to make. They are indeed a boon
to the busy mother, for. with bit of
ingenuity, a little frock may be cut,
sewed and finished In almost less time
than it takes to describe 1t. Such
dresses are suitable for children ND to
the age of seven and may be made of
the pretty checked ginghams and plain
tinted chambrays. The former may be
trimmed with bands Of solid color or
white, while the chambrays are espe-
cially pretty if decorated with the new
woven braids which come in such great
variety this season. You notice that
soft materials are suggested for these
little frocks because they are made
with fullness, and the heavy linens,
galateas and denims are unsuitable for
these patterns.
For the Sunday best no style is pret-
tier than the French dress" for the
little girl up to nine years Of age. The
characteristic Of this style is that it is
long Of waist and short Of skirt. The
little full skirt is attached to the waist,
which may be shirred or laid In plaits,
and the join is usually concealed by a
sash. Sashes are especially pretty with
this style Of dress.
For such little frocks French main
sock. india linon. batiste and lawn are
all attractive and appropriate. Tucks
constitute pretty trimming, while fine
embroidery in dainty pattern and
valenciennes lace are also suitable.

As YOU LIKE IT.

Very few persons were to be seen
wearing tiny American flags yester-
day, and yet on st. Patrick's day,
many always wear a green
emblem, even though it has no sig
nificance to them.

a man in the car, who was evidently
a woman hater. Wearing earrings

adorn herself, as though enough or

have been able to understand why
they do not still wear rings in their
noses and bells on their toes and put
court plaster beauty spots on their

REFRIGERATOR LORE.
Keep the ieebox Packed or Well Filled
All the Time.


The return of warm weather brings
to the mind Of all good housekeepers
the imperative necessity OF keeping
the refrigerator clean. A fact that is
not often recognized, says an exchange,
by careful housekeepers is that the re-
and airless place. Dampness win
warp the wood and by so doing make
the tight closing of the doors impos-
sible. This will admit the warm ex-
terror air, melt the Ice and defeat the
purpose for which the refrigerator was
built Proper ventilation is an abso-
lutte necessity.
Another point to remember Is that
the doors should be opened as rarely
as possible and shut tight as soon as
possible. Try to take out or put in all
you have to at the same time, then bolt
the door even II you are coming back
In minute"
By making this experiment you VIII
soon see how much colder your refrig-
orator keeps. s-+
| Do not economics, by putting In en-
insufficient quantity of ice. This Is a
mistake. If you keep the ieebox pack
ed or at least well flied, you will have
the benefit Of the maximum cooling
capacity of your refrigerator; other
wise the temperature within will never
be very low and things win not keep
as well.
A small refrigerator well stocked
with ice is more useful than d larger
one only half full
Except In certain cases where it can
not be helped. make 1t a rule never to
put food directly on the ice
If the vent of the fcebox communi-
Gates with the drain. It should be seen
to that good plumber makes the con-
nection In a sanitary way; otherwise
the sewer gas from the drain may
prove dangerous.
When pan is used for the water
from the refrigerator It should be so
large that 1t cannot overflow before
the time comes for emptying it.
Empty the whole box, Ice and all,
from time to time and give the refrig-
orator interior good scrubbine. Some
people object to this plan, as 1t takes
a little while afterward for the box
to get cold again. But 1t makes for
absolute cleanliness in the refrigerator.

ASK QUESTIONS.

Girl Superior to the Interrogation Pcln'
Courts Disaster.
The girl who is superior to the inter
rogation point courts disaster. If sht
is ashamed to ask questions, she will
get in trouble.
If she tries to appear that she is moi
ignorant, she is very apt to walk into
a trap
SO If people talk about books or plays
or characters in history with which
you are not familiar don't appear
knowing 1t Is nothing to be ashamed
of that you are not familiar with ev-
erything.
You may be able to talk to them of
people and things of which they do
not know. 1t Is not only foolish to ap-
pear to know everything, but it is also
unwise. There are people who are
not above setting a trap for the un-
wary and then laughing at the victim
More girls are afraid to ask ques-
tions from shyness rather than any de
sign to appear eleverer than they are
They are afraid of being laughed at
But the wise thing is to put as many
questions as you want when people
are talking about things of which you
know nothing.
If you have ever talked to q really
clever and well informed man or wo
man, you will be surprised to see how
many questions he or she asks you.
This type Of person gets well informed
from finding out what every one else
knows.
In this way the mind is stocked with
information. 1t Is the most cultured
person who always frankly says she
has not read this book or does not re-
member that poem or forgets the
name of some great author You see,
she Is not afraid of letting any one
think she is ignorant, for she knows
she Is not and they know 1t.
If you will appear, therefore, to be
well informed. ask questions. After a
few years Of this you win be informed.
People are always glad to tell you what
they think you don't know, and even
the most learned are fiattered by be-
ing asked the details of some subject
to which they have referred
Garry this out In everyday life. Don't
con1ne 1t to literature, history and art.
Don't be afraid of seeming ignorant
II you are. you will remain ignorant.

EMPTY TREASURY
FOR LEGISLATORS?

According to Colonel Fisher, who
has been doing some mighty close
figuring. II is probable that when
the Legislature meets there will be
an empty Treasury. Appropriations
have been made that, II the present
status of affairs were kept up, will
more than eat up all the cash that
IL paid into the Territory,
THE trouble IT," said Auditor
Fisher, that the Legislature makes
appropriations without much refer
ence to probable revenue. The ap-
preparations total a great deal more
than the revenue amounts to. An
appropriation is an authorization for
the expenditure of money. Hence 1t
is almost certain that the disburse-
ments will exceed the revenues, and
we are brought back to where we
were when Governor Carter under
took to get the Territory out of Its
financial hole"

The abnormal suicide wave which
is passing over this country has been
made the subject OF very serious

be SO. In Natal within the past four
weeks there have been three suicides

population, is four times greater than
the suicide rate in England and Wales.

protect helpless infants from inhuman
treatment.
Some babies-and this In the very
best families--wear slips, to the ex-

served for "ceremonious" occasions,
such as christening.
II slips are to be worn in its wax

number. and from two to four dresses
will be sufficient, the number to be de.

The petticoats may be made Of Eng

Fine longcloth is sometimes used for

The most appropriate trimming for

DO AWAY WITH DOUBLE CHIN
Exercises and Applications That Will
Strengthen the Muscles viii
Restore Good Ap-
pearance.

The fad for Dutch necks has strucl
terror to the heart of the woman
with the double chin.
Double chins are of various kinds
There is the chin which is simply toe
fat. Then there is the double CHR
which is caused by the shortness o
the neck and the habit of carrying the
chin too low. And again, there is the
chin which merely looks double be
cause of faulty dress, as by wearine
collars too tight.
The necklace calls attention to the
double chin. Before putting on q
necklace the woman with fat chin
should massage 1t downward. She
| should take the palm of her hand and
stroke the tip of her chin with Wig
orous stroke.
Then she should rub rigls down
from the end of the chin to the dip
in the throat.
Alcohol strengthens the muscles Of
the neck. Dash your throat with alco.
hol and massage II downward. An.
other excellent massage for remov.
ing the double chin is the ice massage.
Press the ice securely upon the flesh
and massage down. A dozen treat.
ments will cure the worst case imag-
Unable.
The throat of the young girl is slim
and her head sits upon her neck as
upon a pedestal Her shoulders are
sloping and her whole appearance is Il
study In curves: her neck is but n
stem which supports her head. But
as she grows older the throat thickens
from neglect the curved chin becomes
square and under the chin there come
rolls OF flesh, and this stage marks the
old woman.
The Japanese woman sets flower
In her hair so that ii trails at one ear.
This makes her neck look slim
mer. The French woman dresses her
throat very high or she makes the
neck look prettier in tone by clasping
pink velvet ribbon around ii. Over
the ribbon is fastened the dog collar.
The pink lends color TO the neck lace
and tone to the skin.
A stringy chin can be hardened by
slapping 1t with cologne water. The
slapping should take place at night
and the hand should be filled with
the perfume and spatted on the neck
II whitens the throat and makes the
flesh firmer and the skin harder.
A chin that is held high does not
look as fat as the chin that is snuggled
down in the neck. Lift your chin. twist
your head. throw 1t back until the
colffure rests upon your shoulders.
and you will get some Idea of neck
and chin exercise.
Dancing is the best exercise for a
double chin. The head is thrown TO
one side and the neck is made supple.
The Spanish dances and the so-called
skirt dances arc good for the exercise
OF the neck muscles.
An exercise practiced by actresses
is that of touching the ear TO the
shoulder Each day the ear is rubbed
upon the shoulder half dozen times
In quick succession until the neck is
supple.
You should be able to span your
throat with your thumbs and first
fingers. Touch your thumbs together
under your chin. and II your throat is
In proportion to your size your fore
fingers will Just meet at the back.
