A SMART FROCK OF
MERCERIZED BATISTE

There is no prettier material for lit
tie children than batiste with the
mercerized finish. This dress shows
it trimmed with Valenciennes lace
and worn with a ribbon sash. IL is
very childish and simple. yet dainty
and smart i'm the extreme. The
straight skirt is simply gathered. This
one is finished with a straight frill,
but it can be made palmer with
hem only, or the entire skirt could be
made from embroidery if something
more elaborate is wanted. Square
neck and short sleeves are always
charming, but ono of the great adj
vantages of this model is its avail
ability, and It can be made with high
neck and long sleeves and perfectly
plain, as shown in the back view, and
become adapted to morning wear

Warning to Parents

Some time ago crank shot David Graham Phillips. the author, and then killed himself.
 His friends said the assassin was in- sane.
 Of course, but
 What made him insanel His history breeding over things. He was inclined to be morose and solitary.
 And then
 He grew up a man given to spells oi melancholy-a shrinking, suspicious self centered person.
 Of course he grew up that way What could you expect of such q child If let alonel We are learning much more about such children than we knew formerly
 The faults of the man in this case were the outgrowth of a neglected childhood. Therefore he shrank from those he fancied were his enemies and viewed his friends with suspicion.
 Now
 Phillips was too busy to take the man at the mans estimate. Therefore the fellow brooded over what he felt was a personal affront and became as to Phillips a monomaniac.
 But here is the lesson:
 Have you a breeding child? Does tn boy or girl dislike to play with other children. preferring to be with his elders or choosing to be much alone?
 Be careful of that child.
 The behavior is not natural. If the child is not i'll there is something wrong in it's mental tendencies. It is natural Tor the child to be active and

Missed It

From the Metropolitan Magazine
 A small boy from town was spending a few days in the country. One morning he heard the grown folks complaining of having been kept awake the night before by a skunk.
 Willie burst into tears. why, Willie, what's the matter?" the fond mother in- quired.
 Why didn't some one wake me up?'' he blubbered, T never smelled a skunk in all my life"

have seen them coming home in the evening with their pockets bulging with small coins.
 Then, too, many of these musician had much money invested in their in struments. The large street pianos some times cost more than $500. Of course, the hand orgains cost little or nothing. Mutually, though, persons with a considerable amount of money invested did not want to quit the bus mess.
 Having failed to convince the mu sicians that they should quit business voluntarily, I decided to adopt more militant methods for accomplishing my purpose. I appealed to the police to help me. It was this move that finally won my battle.
 Few street musicians ever took out a license for playing, and, of course, they could be arrested for this. It kept me pretty busy chasing them down and get ting policemen on their trails, but l finally won out
 There was time, however, when per mission was given them at the mayors office to grind away without license. During this period 1t looked as if I were doomed to defeat. But so many of them took chance on avoiding the police and getting away, and I made my prosecu- ton so vigorous, that they finally gave up in despair and ceased to visit here.'
 Dec says practically all of the Italian musicians come from the Province ot Calabria. He thinks possibly word of his fight on them got back there and to all other Italian settlements in this coun- try, and for that reason none of them wastes carfar in visiting Kansas City.
 A Hurdy -Gurdlyless City A few of these musicians of the old days still live here. They gave up their business. sold out to Italians in other cities and settled down to trade or entered other lines when the crusader bore down upon them. And Editor Dec is pleased to think perhaps some of his editorials wielded some influence and caused the dormant pride of his fellow countrymen to awake.
 Editor Dec is not alone in his poor opinion of the musicians, either. There has been much objection to them by Italians who work. Many Italians fear that the American idea of all natives of Italy is that they are illiterate and shift less nomads.
 At the time of the killing or a chief of police in New Orleans several years ago an American newspaper ran a car toon of the king of Italy playing grind

This was the main hall, in which were
many attractions. There was Odell, the

their various peculiar habits There was
the block signal and the wireless tele-
phone, Brandeis "Sweetland," Burbanks

different land stands, where they gave
information concerning the tracts OF land
that may be purchased, a small country
