THE HABIT OF DAWDLINe

Do all children dawdle when they
dress? 1 have not yet found one that
does not. If 1t Is a universal trait
perhaps 1t is a part of the evolution
from childhood, and we ought not to
meddle with It, Or is 1t survival
of primitive conditions? The prim-
tive man did not spend much time
dressing. and the child, being near that
type, resents his complicated gar
ments.
But the child who puts on one stock
ing and then plays for fifteen minutes
with his marbles before putting on the
other, does upset household routine
So does the little dreamer who sits
with her petticoat in her hand While
she makes lovely new story
The dawdling period usually passes
of itself, but is there any way to has
ten its passing ?-that is, without some-
one standing over the child and say
ing, Put on your other shoe, now.
Get your dress at once. NO, you must
button your shoes now. You are not
dressed until your hair is brushed
and so on ad infinitum.
Perhaps some of the children get a
vague feeling of the endlessness of
their task and rebel against 1t.
In the charming story of Little
lane and Me-" the father, to cure little
Jane of dawdling, DEGREES that when
the breakfast bell rings she must come
down as she is. But she came down
in such an incomplete toilet the next
morning that that plan was given up;
In one case the mother set limit OF
twenty minutes for the morning dress
ing. The child who was not ready at
that time took off all his clothes ana
went back to bed for half an hour.
When there is some reason for get
ting dressed any child can do 1t win
expedition. They come down in short
time on the picnic morning or the
day of a longed-for visit. When a
playmate calls under the window, the
boy who has consumed a half hour
getting into his undergarments WIN
complete the dressing in five minutes;
one little boy, who always required
someone to keep hurrylng him was
quite cured when he had hen given
him to care for. Biddy must not wait
for her breakfast, and he dressed
quickly and went to feed her.
pleasant task to be done the hrst
thing in the morning is probably the

THE cHILDs Book SHELVES

The foundations for the baby's EARL
est hook lore lie in rhyme and color'
and Mother Goose rhymes nave ihoIe
marked and inspiring rhythm for tne
very young child than any other t Veise.
A well bound edition of Mother
Goose illustrated In color' Is tLle us. ~,
hook which we will put upon the nur-
serv book shelf. Following Mother
Goose there should be few good an
imal picture books and books contain
inc colored pictures of fruits ana now,
ers which will give the child his hrst
impressions of color and form. Wnen
2 or a years old there should pc auueu
to his growing library the chllu pooks
which contain the old rhymed stories
of "Tbe kid who Would Not Go"
'TThe Old Woman and Her Pig" ana
"The Rillv Goats Gruff." Until the
child is years old his main literary
interests will be in folk tales. AFTER
he has heard them read many times
he will memorize them and VIII pe
able to pick out familiar words learn,
ing unconsciously to read by natural
and easy method. o
Following this earliest Mother Goose
stage in the child's literary develop
ment comes the period when he pc
comes a little creature of imaglnatloh.
He peoples the nursery with Ialry
folk; he lives in a lovely strange fairy
world of his own.
In the days of our great-grand-
mothers the fairy book was tabooed;
It had it's place with the writings OF
witchcraft, and for it was substituted
the pilgrims Progress" and Fox
Book of Martyrs" which If our stern
ancestors had only known it, appealed
to the eager little old-time boys ana
girls because of their very fa1rylike'
unreal background. Our great-grand-
mothers were wrong. Children are
imaginative for a reason. How are
they ever to project themselves into
the lives of others, to become ethical
members of society if they have not,
through the fairy and folk tales OF
childhood days, entered the portals OF
the unknown?
There is a choice in fairy tales, now
ever The house tales of the Brothers
Grimm, the wonderful stories OF Hans
Andersen and the tales of Hawthorne
will help the child to develop morally;
but the more modern, cruel story In
which a revengeful stepmother or
bloodthirsty pirate is pictured in glow
ing words has no place in the nursery
library. So we have the second shelf
of the bookcase filled with the best
possible collection of fairy books
Woman's Magazine.

POPULARITY OF
COTTON CREPE

Thin cotton crepon Is a material
which is having an immense popular
ity. Anything this year Of the crepon
persuasion Is, In fact, sure of well
come. A simple little gown of this
fabric is made all in one piece, and
relies for its trimming on black and
white striped batiste cut on the bias.
The dress Is fashioned without any
gathers. being fitted neatly, but N
tightly, over the figure, and cut with
a tablier front set In fat stitched
seams, while the skirt Is mounted
upon the corsage In graceful curve
at the waist. The stitching of this
seam breaks the line and softens tho
style. At the side, from the knees
downwards, group OF fiat pleats
gives the necessary width and above
this killing is fiat bias band of the
striped black and white batiste, like
wise stitched fat. The same Is in
troduced on the corsage, where 1t
forms the outline of the low-cut
bodice, from above which is a guimpe
Of tucked lawn with a turnover white
plisse frill
Night gowns, kimonos. combination
suits, and petticoats are all made from
this fashionable and inexpensive ma
terial. And these latter do not have
to be ironed-which is almost the best
feature Of the fabric.
The undergarments as a rule, are
simply trimmed with torchon or imi-
tation Irish lace edge, but the girl
who embroiders will be fortunate
enough to have an outfit which could
not be duplicated in the shops for less
than FIVE times its actual cost.
Pretty little lightly wadded com.

with heavy lace, embroidered or
