Sandals for Small Children.

If children wear sandals until they
are three or four years old, they will
have a natural-shaped foot, strong,
ankle muscles and will stand and walk
properly. We are all taught to point
the toes out when walking. This, how
ever, is an unnatural position, and
only adds a greater strain on the in
side muscles of ankle and foot, caus-
ing, in many cases, weak ankles and
other foot troubles. Let the toes
point straight in front when standing
or walking, allow the feet to have
plenty of room to grow, select broad,
fat-heeled shoes for your children,
and start them toward manhood on
womanhood with normal feet, strong
ankles, thus lessening the danger Of
corns, bunions and all other foot trou.

NOVEL DINNER PARTY IDEA
"Progression" Does Away With Minor
Annoyance That Sometimes
Mars the Occasion.

A girl who is looking for way out
of the common to entertain some OF
her young friends will find "pro-
gressive dinner party jolly affair.
There is nothing better for helping
along new acquaintances, and 1t also
works wonders in another way-in not
allowing old friends to talk too exclu-
sively with each other. Often the fun
Of small entertainment is spoiled
because one or two couples spend al
most the whole evening in talking to
each other, neglecting every one else.
The young hostess has not always ex-
perience enough to prevent this mis-
take gracefully.
The progressive dinner party is
managed as follows: Each young man
is told to take certain girl in to din
ner, as at any dinner party. The
places at table are shown by the
usual cards with names. During the
first course they sit in these places,
but as the plates are being changed
each young man takes the place of the
next one to the right Cor left). This
is repeated after each course, the
change being always in the same di
rection. The girls do not move, SO
young men have an opportunity to
talk to each girl.

NMALL hats for spring are to be
seen in all the French millinery
~ stores of note, launched upon
their adventures in the world of
fashion; that world has evidenced a
growing appreciation of certain shapes
which proved too good to pass with
the winter. These shapes, held over
and slightly modified, made up in
spring materials, are simply enticing.
The day has come when women de-
mand hats that are good" from all
view points, that is, becoming to the
wearer from any angle. If shape is
especially good in a full front view
and not just right from the side or
back, either new shape must be
made, with little alterations in out
line, or the trimmer must effect
changes by placing the trimming clev-

erly. These points are so well taken
care of by artists in millinery that
even the simplest-seeming hats arc
really amazingly well thought out and
adapted to their wearers.
The lines of the Dutch bonnet, the
dear Wilhelmina, have been managed
in all sorts of ways. A pretty adapta-
ton is shown here, having crown
of purple violets and brim covered
with purple velvet. A similar hat, in
soft hemp, shows decided point at
the front and a small, rather pointed
crown, which would be insignificant
except for two ears of silk perched at
the front. The shape in navy blue
had a wide fiange Of velvet in the
same color and the loops, or ears,
were of taffeta silk, also in plain navy
blue of rather bright shade.
A hood of turcan laid over cap
shape, covered with black silk, is also
an unusually clever development of
simple lines and handsome materials.
The rolled-up brim is covered with
two folds of black satin and bow OF
ribbon in black satin finishes band
which apparently holds the point OF
the hood in place at the back.
The liking for quaint shirrings,
quillings and ruchings came in with
the return of fabrics with which they
were used almost a half century ago.
A shirred band Of changeable taffeta
finishes the soft straw bonnet shape
shown here. Two rosettes of the taf-
feta look like big, full-blown roses;
they are placed at each side OF the
brim. A short broad plume, in the
colorings of the silk, finishes the hat.
The hats shown in the illustrations
are very practical models. Although
each hat, it must be conceded, is chic

Dainty Carriers.

The curious fancy for mingling
black with the adornment Of lingerie
and other more personal articles is
finally manifested in a pair of gar
ters.
On the shirred black band that
forms the solid part of the garter are
sprinkled silk roses in pastel shades;
the same flowers ornament the lace
rosettes, from which dangie smaller
roses on ribbon ends. The lace frill-
ing is lightly embroidered with black
silk.

weave with wide border of drawn
work. The model sketched is Of pink
linen. The upper part is covered with
a simple design in eyelet embroidery.
White lawn collar and cuffs finish the

A pink straw hat with large wired
bow of taffeta is perhaps the most ap-
propriate to wear with such frock.
