NEW SUMMER DANCING
FROCKS FOR GIRLS

THE daintiest and most fairylike
dresses imaginable are being made
for dancing occasions of Powered white
bobbnette. One such. built on a white
satin foundation, having the three-inch
hem falling longer than the slip and laid
over a band of white satin ribbon. which
gives body to the diaphanous material. IL
very pretty and youthful The full skirt
Is gathered in empire style TO a white
satin cord, and overiaps the kimono
waist made OF half-inch tucks. Fine
plaitings OF plain white bobbinette finish
the round neck and elbow sleeves, and a
white ribbon rosette closes the belt at the
back.
The dressy French handmade dancing
dresses are a good investment, with their
several parts of fine tucking, lace and
hand embroidery assembled so skillfuliy.
Many mothers with sufficient leisure
can make very charming limitations of the
imported dresses. and thus escape the
heavy duty. and just now they are being
made Of handkerchief linen, point des-
prit. or. newest of all, the plain filet net.
to be worn over messaline or China silk
slips Of pink, blue. yellow, white or even
black, this last being a fad to throw
the exquisite handwork into relief, for
the colored ribbons obviate any look of
mourning, and the effect is smart, with
black stockings and pumps. Motifs and
insertions of baby Irish and val lace en-
dresses, and a new way of introducing
tucking is to set a cluster OF narrow
tucks on top of broad tucks The new
tub silks and crepes make ideal dancing
frocks. and the lowered taffeta dresses
require little trimming.

Without exaggerating. there is truth In
what you say admitted Gihon. There
are millionaires out there who will take
you around in their automobiles and spend
$500 day on you. and then leave some
college professor to buy your picture. 1t
is not always the very rich who buy
most readily. There is a constantly in

Americans, but not enormously wealthy,

At present about twenty children are

youngest being six months old and the
oldest ten years. The children of school
age go directly from the nursery to
school and return there after studies are

n NY one who has had occasion to
"a pass a certain house on Sd
~ street southeast may have won
II dered in passing whether he
was looking at some new kind
OF school. where all the studies were
games, or whether IL was merely the
home OF an unusually large and healthy
family. AT almost any hour of a fine
day from ten TO twenty little rosy-cheek
ed children may be seen playing In the
side yard of 4Os Sd street southeast.
But IL Is neither a school nor family.
although II more nearly resembles the
latter II is the day nursery Of Provi-
dence Hospital. and 1t solves an old
and difficult problem.
What is the mother Of two or three
youngsters going to do with them when
she must go out to work by the day?
Often has this question arisen. Perhaps
the sudden death OF the head Of q fam
lily forces the widow to seek employ
ment. even though she has children who
need her care. Or the labor Of a father
may not be sufficiently well paid to meet
all the household requirements In either
of these cases the children must be taken
care of during the day.
There Is danger. both physical and
moral. for the child who is allowed to
play in the streets. and if ne Is shut UP
in an otherwise deserted house he be-
comes lonesome and his physical and
mental state of health is apt to suffer
from the seclusion. The question is some
times answered by hiring at a nominal
sum an older child OF some neighbor TO
keep. watch over the young ones. or the
latter are allowed to visit a neighbor for
the day. The former method is not al
ways feasible and the latter plan pals
upon even the kindest neighbor in time.
The day nursery OF Providence Hospi-
tai is a place where children can be left
for the day and their mother can work
secure In the knowledge that at the end
OF her days task they will be returned
to her glowing with days healthy play
and clean IN body and mind.
1t Is just across the street from the
hospital itself. and Is a modest little
yard. Its motto is IAN ounce OF pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure" and
IL believes In fresh air, sunshine and
wholesome food, all administered in al
lopathic doses Everything about the
place has a freshly swept newly painted
air. The building itself is a light tan,
with dark green blinds, and the yard Is
surrounded by a whitewashed fence. ex-

children. Breakfast, at 7:3O, consists
usually of fruit. oatmeal. eggs. toast
and coffee At noon a dinner of soup,
meat. vegetables and milk or coffee is
served. Supper. at 4:30 or 8, is made

The front room upstairs is used as a
playroom on cold or rainy days, and in
the back room there are four beds where
the child who becomes tired of play may
take a nap. When a child is brought
to the nursery In the morning he is
first undressed and given clothes which

sold, some came back to me in Paris.
Well. those same landscapes have been
bought, at my studioo or at Knoedler s.
in the Place Vendome, by Americans who
saw but did not buy them in Philadelphia,
New York or Chicago"
Gihon looks on it as rather temporary
and personal. America is the great field
of the future for American painters.
Even today, students have no need to
come to Paris-unless for prestige-to be-
gin selling.
Carolus-Duran said recently to Gihon:
young Americans do not need to come
to Paris nowadays to study-with the
beautiful landscapes you have at home,
and art schools as good as any"
Carolus-Duran referred particularly to
the art schools of Philadelphia, New
York, Cincinnati and Chicago. Buotet de
