Children's dresses of the 1903 period
were an almost exact copy of those
worn by grOwnups. With buckram in

out almost as much as her mothers

skirt was worn. Even a baby in long
dresses is shown with the front part of
its little dress stiff with heavy lace
and embroidery, giving an apron-like

Hats for School.
The school hat is plain, or should
he. Felt hats, trimmed with band or
ribbon. bunch bow at the left side,
or .quilis or wings. are the things Tor
girls from II to IA years of age.
Beavers with just band Of trimming

and big bows of ribbons on the beav-
smart The French felts and beavers
in green. violet shades and other pref
ty colors come in becoming shapes for
girls The sailor, with wide brim and
the hat rolling brim. are both popular.
One pretty little coat for a small
girl is made of plain broadcloth, but
toned down the front to the bottom OF
the skirt There are pockets that you
can put your hand in on either side of
the coat. With this the little girl wears
stoutly laced boots of black and black
stockings. A pretty school dress for
special occasions is of dotted foulard
silk, showing deep hem and two
deep tucks. 1t has a lace yoke and
velvet around the bodice below the
yoke and also a velvet belt. The hair
ribbon may be of white or blue to
match the dress.
Every child should have several one
piece plain frocks for school wear. The
sleeves are long, with cuff, and there
is a slight blouse at the waist. The belt
matches the dress material, and there
is an embroidered turned down collar
in white linen, with soft tie Of blue
silk
The MILDLY blouse, which has been so
popular through the summer, will be
worn this fall
An independent little miss with her
books strapped over her shoulders goes
marching off to school wearing a reg

the double pleat down the front, the
small collar and Peter Pan sleeves.
Her hat is of the same material, with
lining of blue silk to match the scarf,
which runs around the crown.
Jumpers Still In Vogue.
A jumper dress, with kimona like
sleeves is one that will prove of great
service to the schoolgirl. Mohair and
serge are good materials for such
dress. The skirt is pleated ana
stitched well down below the hips in
Moyen Age effect.
When designing children's clothes it
should always be borne in mind that
comfort is the first essential: they
should be of sufficiently heavy material
to keep them warm enough, but not
heavy enough to burden them with
their weight.

Nurse Crop for Alfalfa.

The practice of sowing nurse crop
with alfalfa was inaugurated when the
nature of the plant was not as we'll
understood as now. 1t was also some
what on the theory, too that half
loaf is better than no bread" 1t began
when there was a good deal of doubt
about getting stand" and the farmer
thought no doubt that a crop of oats
or barley would pay for the blowing,
even if the alfalfa failed. While the
practice is continued by many, the
prevalent later method is to provide no
nurse crop. Few who have abandoned
the nurse crop have returned to it. The
alfalfa plant does not need protection
from the sun, nor is it bettered by di-
viding any of the soil moisture or fer
tility with another crop On the other
hand, if alfalfa is sowed in the spring
it is important that it obtain an early
start in order that it's roots can quickly
work down into the moisture of the
subsoil, against the dry days of July
and August When nurse crop of any
vigor is removed the alfalfa plants are
likely to be found weak, spindling and

Ore Piece Frocks.

In the shops are ideal little guimpes
TO be worn with the one-piece dresses
or the three piece jumper suits, with
coats. These little garments are
trimmed with Valenciennes lace or
round thread lace.
Beautiful and practical dresses are
made of rep. pique and linen in the
natural shade and all the attractive
delicate colOrings that these materials
come in. Dresses made of these mate
rials usually show revers and tie of
white linen. All white material is
used extensively and heavy en-
broidered designs are worked in panel
form down the front of such dresses
and on the sleeves. Russian dresses
are attractive for girls ranging in age
from s to IA, provided the girl of IA
is not too well developed.
Some of the fascinating colors seen
in little girls dresses are robins egg
blue, zenith blue, begonia pink, franz
boise pink, pervenche, the beautiful
new shade between a blue and a pur-
pie, Azoff green, and various mixed
Colors in plaids.
Some of the most beautiful dresses
ar the importers are of the English
linens. They are SO attractive that one
might wish to turn backward and be

wearing them. Alice in Wonderland
