1t is generally admitted that people
feel very much as they look. The
happiness of children as well as
grownups depends on their own per-
sonal appearance, as well as their
surroundings.
The mother who is anxious to start
her little girl on the path of smiles
has commenced, already. to plan the
schoolday clothes, for next season.
For the first fail school days this
smart and fresh little frock of crisp
blue serge is designed.
The model is very simple. Yet
nothing could be more attractive and
useful. The blouse is a modified
sailor model With long shoulders and
q Tapped over front in which, is set
little vest of scarlet silk strapped
across the braid. Gilt buttons are Sc,
at the ends of the braid straps.
A sensible pleated skirt. which is
particularly suitable for the girl
whose age is from s to Il, completes
the costume
Red is always charming on chil-
dren.
This white mohair trimmed with
coronation red taffeta is a very
bright and cheerful little costume for
school this fall.
To be a really successful model for
children a dress must possess a triple
recommendation. First, 1t must be
of simple design; second, of easy
construction; and third, launder or
cNan well. The style pictured here
meets all the requirements.
The skirt is pleated and joined to
the loose sailor blouse under a
crushed sash of red silk.
The red sailor collar and cuffs are
stitched with white floss and trimmed
with red crochet buttons, adding
smartness.

who wears it to dress herself except

The crochet buttons on the waist
are placed over red cord loops which

GERMS AND POLLUTED WATER

The so-ealled germs of typhoid
fever. diphtheria and tuberculosis are
bacteria. and as they may be con-
Veyed by means Of water or food this
danger is a very real and serious one.
As a proof that contaminated water
is the direct or indirect source of
typhoid fever infection. it may be
mentioned that the statistics of ten
large European cities. whose wat II
supply is drawn from one mountain
lake and stream showed in 1905 a
death rate much lower than that Of d
large number of American cities
whose average death rate from
typhoid fever was "a per 100000 in
habitants.
Infected water used as a beverage
may readily cause typhoid. BY means
of milk cans washed in such water,
or by the hands and clothing of per-
sons who have nursed typhoid pa
tients, the germs are planted in milk,
and in this nutritive medium they de-
velop with wonderful rapidity, so that
milk becomes. next TO water. the
great carrier of typhoid.
II is also known 10 have carried
diphtheria and scarlet fever and il
mas well been called the most valu-
able and the most dangerous food.

A NEW AND ATTRACTIVE
BLOUSE
BY MAY MANTON

This charming blouse combines i
number of the very latest features of
fashion and is certain to be very
popular one. In this case, the ma
terial is embroidered voile trimmed
with dotted net and lace. The main
portion of the blouse is all in one
piece without seams on the shoulders
and the sleeves are of the "set-in"
sort and are finished at the elbows
with lace frills. The neck is cut
round The trimming portions are
of the net and are exceedingly grace
full They are arranged over the front
of the blouse and are extended down
the back. At the waist line they are
held in place by belt of black satin
and below that point they form a
postillion. Both front and back ends
of these trimming portions are fin
ished with the lace. The front edges
are Tapped over a panel of the plain
material and are held together by
large black button. A row of tiny
black buttons is set down the centre
of this panel. The closing is made in
visibly at the back. The blouse can
be combined with a skirt of the same
material to make a most attractive
costume. Almost any pretty mate
rial could be utilized for the model.
1t is shown in the small front view
made of white satin and all-over lace
and longs sleeves and without the
trimming portions. This treatment
is very effective and for the cooler
season viii be desirable. Taffeta
would be equally attractive treated
in this way. and foulard could be
combined with messaline in solid color
to make a very good effect.
For the medium size the blouse will
require S15 yards of material. q, 2A
yards SO or tx yards A inches wide,
with 1h yards of net 27 or SO inches
wide, "a yards of lace inches wide
and q yard of material Is inches wide
for the front panel.
The May Manton pattern 1923 is cut
from "a to 40 inches bust measure.
1t will be mailed to any address by
the Fashion Department of this pa
per, on receipt of ten cents.

SHRINKING DRESS GOODS

When making up washing materials
1t is important to shrink the goods
before cutting, All such materials
as duck, madras linen and cheviot
shrink an inch in yard the first time
they are washed. and it is quite pos
sible that every time they are washed
subsequently they will continue the
shrinking process to some extent.
An expert dressmaker recommends
simple and satisfactory way of
shrinking washing goods. Fill a
bathtub,' she says, ''one-quarter full
of clear water Fold the material In
a clean towel, to prevent dust set
tling on it; place 1t in the water and
let 1t remain there all day and over
night. Then hang it up dripping wet
to dry 1t will take long time to
dry, but 1T will dry in time and he
smooth enough to make up without
ironing. When the dress or blouse Is
complete, dampen and press"

PUTTING AWAY RUGS

One housekeeper has convenient
plan of putting away her rugs for
the summer. Instead of sending
them to storage or packing them
away at home she stores them on
the floor.
Having first brushed and swept
them free of dust and wiped them off
with gasoline or a carpet soap to re-
move possible grease, she puts a
newspaper under each, then crushes
tar balls. or ,camphor into them and
covers with another layer of papers.

air-tight
She has followed this plan for sew
eral years, leaving her handsomest
rugs in the closed house, and, return
ing, she never found a moth In the
fall the tar balls are easily brushed
out. and all odor is gone with day

Lessons in the Etiquette of

Dear Miss Doom:

couple of weeks ago. l have seen him
several times on the street and each time
he has stopped me to talk a little He
is very friendly. but has not asked to
call on me. Now he has called me on
the telephone and asked me to meet him
downtown so we can have dinner to-
gether at a restaurant and then go to
theatre afterward 1 put him off by say
ing | wasn't feeling well just then and
to please excuse me. He said he would
call me again soon. Really, Miss Doom,

ed him and show him the right
WHY 70 treat n girl. ETHEL.
This young man possibly has had
only men acquaintances, and possi-
bly, nobody at home to tell him the
etiquette to follow. He certainly
should call upon You at your home
before asking to take you anywhere.
and he ought TO consider your con-
venience more than his own, in in
Viting you to an evenings entertain
ment. l would not, under any cir
cumstances, accept such an invita-
tion. You will certainly lose any
mans respect IL you show yourself
eager to accept any kind of an in
vitation he may give you. The next
time you see him, IL he wishes to talk
to you. tell him that you would like
very much to have him. meet your
family, and ask him to call when he
has free evening. If he wishes to
pursue legitimate acquaintance
with you. he will be eager TO grasp
the opportunity. Then, if he asks
you again to meet him downtown to
take dinner with him, tell him. in
laughing way. that you are not
one of his boy friends. that you can't
do quite a they do, and that it isn't
considered quite proper for a girl to
meet a man downtown and take
dinner with him. That will lead to
explanation, and he will think all
the more of you for being careful of
the proprieties. If he doesn't he isn't
the right sort.

Father Objects to Daughters
Callers
Dear Miss Doom :

Dear Miss Doom:
/ have two daughters who are getting
old enough to have beaux. but my hus-
band Is opposed to their having gentle
men callers. He seems to think they are
never growing up, and if their young
men friends call he makes 1t so unpleas-
ant that they don't want to come again.
I don't think this is quite fair to the
girls, do You? Can you tell of any way
that / can help them? l don't. want to
send them to other peoples houses to
meet young men, and I feel it is their
right to entertain them in our home.
PERPLEXED.
Have. You talked the matter over
carefully and calmly with your hus-
band? It seems strange that a man
will be so unreasonable. Does he
want to send his daughters out to be
courted on street corners and in pic
ture shows? Or does he expect them
to remain unmarried all their lives?
If your husband absolutely will not
permit the girls to haye callers at
home, and if your influence with him
cannot accomplish anything in that
direction, about the only thing you
can do is to ,chaperon your daugh-
ters to the houses of friends where
they will meet congeniaI company.
Encourage your daughters, by a
sympathetic understanding. to tell
you all about the young men they
know, and when they are invited to
places of entertainment by any of
these young men, permit them to go
if you know the young men are Of
good character.
A man who really likes a girl will
find a way of counting her, even if he
cannot call at her own home.
Also, a girl will find way of hav-
ing. beaux, even though her father is
opposed to 1t, and because of such
opositlon she may take up with en-
stirely the wrong kind of man, unless
her mother is very wise and sympa-
thetic and helpful

In monograph just published for

This condition is due, among other

and the colleges, at the expense OF
the rural school. Mr.. Fairchlld also
finds that "the ever r-increasing trend
