There is great controversy going on
among the girls who are doing their
spring sewing as to whether Or not
tailored waists are hard to make. One
amateur gownbuilder who makes all

rather make a jacket suit than tailor

Kansas City Journal: Mrs. Grin J.
Peterson, GA Orville street, Kansas
City, Kan, will entertain twenty-five
guests at a luncheon Friday. March
~. in honor of Mrs, J; c. Pollock.
In England tiny girls are being sent
to parties in knickerbockers, or kick
sies,' as they are called. The k1cksles
serve two purposes they are ever SO
much more comfortable for the small
girls than party dresses are, and they
are more economical. 1t is not pleas
ant for a mother to see her small
daughter return from party with the
dainty beruffied dress upon which
money and time have been lavished
torn into ribbons by the child's whole
hearted romps; and yet what mother
would wish to restrain her child from
romping? And children who are al
awful little prigs.
Kicksies need not be looked out for.
They are not easily torn. These kick
sizes are made exceedingly short, and
tightly buttoned in above the knee
never gathered. Above the kicksies is
worn a loose, short rather skinny
little smock. The whole thing is made
of pale colored or white washing satin,
satin faced flannel or bengaline, so
that the simplest washing and ironing
mil he n c
pristine freshness. Embroidery Is per-
mitted upon the shoulders and sleeves
of the smocks.
These suits are adorable on wee
should be left quite loose; on slight
children they look better belted. but
on no account should sash be al
lowed.
