Chiid'S Success IN Play
VIII Continue in Work

The child that is constantly disap-
pointed in his play enterprises, making
a failure OF his cherished play dreams
day after day, receiving no sympathy
from those responsible FOR his welfare
and no help in overcoming obstacles too
great for him. soon loses confidence in
himself; the spirit Of venture dies out
and he falls INTO the habit OF making a
failure of whit he undertakes, and thus
prepares the way for abortiye efforts in
the more serious ventures of later life.
To succeed in building snow forts, in
making kites, sleds and wagons, in
coastinE the hill. in skating. swimming.
and climbing trees. in dressing dolls
and training pets-aU such achievements
.prophesy success in the important en-
deavors of later life. The culture power
ot the adult is measured by the play
experience of the child. The boy Is
father TO the man.

Skirts Are Worn Long
For EVeni1g Functions

There is confusion i'm tho minds OF
many concerning skirts. There is so
much talk about smart gowns being i've
inches from the floor FOR evening ana
nearly six inches for morning, that
women wonder If there is any hour
I'm which the long graceful skirt IS worn.
Tho strict decree Of fashion is this.
skirts five or six inches from the ground
for street wear. skirts that sweep over
the floor i'm a round train for the after
noon. and skirts five inches from the
floor for the evening.
This is the decree Everyone does not
have 10 abide by IL. but numbers of
women VIII accept IL in part, II not iu
whole. They may not have every even
ing gown made short, or every after
noon frOCE made long, but they viii
assuredly have enc of each kind 10 show
that they know what is being done in
the world of fashion.
