Where He Drew the Line.

An English earl, lately deceased,
who had no family was notorious for
his hatred of children. and on one
occasion he engaged as lodge keeper
an army pensioner named McMicken
Some few months later McMicken's
wife presented him with a son and
heir. On learsing of the occurrence
his lordship rode down to the lodge in
a terrible rage.

that your wife has a SON"
Yes, my lord" said the man proud

SMARTEST WHEN PLAIN
SIMPLICITY THE KEYNOTE IN
CHlLDREN's CLOTHING.
Really Calls for the Exercise of More
Ingenuity in Designing Than Would
Elaboration-White Crepe
Is in Favor.

Clothes for small children are smart
est when simplest nowadays. That
fact speaks volumes for the increas-
ing good taste among American moth
ers, but it does not by any means i'm
ply that those mothers give less
thought and care to the dressing of
their small folk than they once did.
according to the New York Sun
On the contrary, smart simplicity is
matter calling for more ingenuity in
designing than any amount of elabora-
ton. One may dress a small girl or
boy prettily, modishly and simply by
merely buying with taste moderately
priced ready-made garments or by
choosing attractive materials and
making them up on accepted and gen
orally useful lines; but if a mother
wants originality with simplicity and
Is not content to dress her children
prettily as all her neighbors' children
are dressed, then this problem be-
comes more difficult.
Among the most original of the
seasons little dresses are those in
which the straight apron tunic, short
or long, figures and those made with
short kimono sleeves cut practically
at right angles from the body of the
dress, which is usually cut merely in
two pieces with a seam down each
shoulder and outer arm This latter
idea was exploited last year. but is APP
parently attaining more popularity this
season and is illustrated In various
pretty materials with mere touches
of hand embroidery for trimming. The
hand embroidery frequently is in cross
stitch-quaint little motifs in wash
able cotton or linen thread, which for
some reason or other seem more child
ish than most of the more convention
al or elaborate embroideries.
White linens embroidered in the
chin" blues or perhaps in black blue
and red and black or in red and blue
are charming. So are the ecru and
natural toned linens embroidered In
similar colorings. On the soft dull
blue linens or cottons cross-stitch in
darker blue and white or in gayer col
ors are effective, and little motifs in
brown and white are good, too, upon
the natural tones
Pretty frocks of white crepe-a ma
terra, which is finding much favor for
dressy little frocks and does not muss
as the other lingerie materials do-are
also embroidered lightly in cross
stitch and they, too may be made up
with kimono sleeves. which because of
the crepon's softness do not have at
all the same effect as the blocked out
sleeves of the linen models.
