This 10 Q childrsn's century.
Half the world seems busy grinding
out theories for the use Of the other
half In the up-bringing Of babies from
the cradle 70 manhood or womanhood.
The maxasines all over the land devote
pages to the rights and wrongs OF child
hood. Libraries are flooded with books
on the subject Of child hygiene. and
child rights along every conceivable hne
OF growth. At every turn In the wilder
ness Of present day life ono meets
John the Baptist crying. Prepare ye the
way Of the children" There arc moth
ers' clubs galore, where women take
up an exhaustive study Of child culture.
Men and women trot from one end OF
the country to the other. illing the
heads Of mothers with theories concern-
ing the welfare Of their children.
Undoubtedly. this is a children's CEN
tury, . century In which they are taught
to eat. sleep. play. bathe. and. I might
almost add. to laugh and cry and love
on schedule time. Never In the history
of the world has SO much time, thought.

Of the child. q fact which has increased
the instinct OF maternity, but almost
obliterated that exSu1sItely tendef ane

To the women who are accustomed 70

like q paradox. but 1t Ii not SO.

but not of motherhood. All female AMI
mails transcend maternity. Motherhood
Is maternity given soul. The she-bear

needs. That Is maternity. When the

Children Need Real Motherhood.
I think motherhood is made up Of a
sort Of inner radience: a glory like the
TRANSPORTATION and equally as impossible
to describe-the real motherhood which
is needed more by our little children than
all the modern theories there are In all
the world.

NEW FRuLS OF FASHION.

Many OF the new autumn blouses are
draped or shirred down the front. the
soft folds or gathers caught in by q row
Of buttons.
Sun-plaited skirts of chiffon or mar
auisette and draped blouses are much
seen in France just now.
High black satin stocks with pointed
turnover collars of lace and deep straight
jabots of the same flimsy material are
much in evidence in exclusive shops.
The Robespierre collar now has frills
that extend all the way to the waist
line the double line of net or lace held
together with buttons Of crystal or
crochet.
One OF the newest skirts Is that with
a plain habit back and sides and plait-
ed front panel. On one side of this the
skirt is finished with buttons. and on the
other with simulated buttonholes OF mar
row braid.

noon and Evening Frocks.

Tassels and fringes are favorite trim.
ming Just now for afternoon and evening
dresses The workmanship on some OF
these trimmings is wonderfully intricate.
and could not well be attempted by any
but skilled maker Of fringes: but
others are quite simple in construction
and can easily be duplicated at home
for about a third Of the price demanded
in the shops.
For heavy silk tassels, buy ball OF
knitting silk in any desired color and
wind enough of II around card cut the
size that YOU wish the tassel to be long
(an ordinary postcard makes good
sized tasseD; then run a thread OF SILK
under that wound on the card ana ue
II firmly at the top. Now cut the threads
at the other end Of the card. running the
scissors along the edge OF the card. %
as to be sure to cut straight.
Tie all the threads securely half incn
from the top; then wrap the thread
around until you have formed smaiI
.head' for the tassel. finishing on tno
thread at the top by catching II unde, sa,

To Make Head.
To make a round head to the tassel.
take two rounded button molds, lay them
together with the fiat sides touchins'
then cover them with thin muslin. Now
run the thread used to tie the top OF
the tassel when II is on the card up

tassel I'D close to 1t. Cover the buttons
with narrow soutache braid the color OF
the silk by winding it around them from
the lower end to the top. turning In the
ends of the braid under the silk threads.
Form a loop of braid to fasten the tas-
sci.
Bead tassels are very pretty About
half a bunch of beads is required FOR one
tassel Gold ones are particularly lovely.
although you can make them OF any
color beads you like, OF of various coiors
to correspond with the colors on your
gown. String the beads on heavy sewing
silk that has been waxed; string three
beads, then turn the thread about over
one bead and go back through the other
two. and from there continue stringing
until YOU have the desired length for
the tassel. Count the beads. so that ev-
cry strand will be the same length: tie
them all together at the top, and nnsn

wad of cotton wool wound around with
strands Of tiny beads
Tassels can be made of fringe wound
around at the top and having this top
covered with braid or small beads There
are so many ways to make tasseis II
would be impossible to tell you OF them

DARNING STITCH
Is NOW GLORIFIBD
It Is Used with Good Eject in
Fancy Work.

One OF the simplest OF stitches known
to needlework, the darning stitch. 10
used with remarkably good effect in
fancy work. The possibilities sof charm
ing color combinations are almost limit
less. and 1t only remains for eye and
brain to choose what will give the most
artistic effect when working any design.
The work is shown to best advantage
when done on rough material-linen
crash, Russian crash. and the loosely
woven goods where the threads OF silk
or cotton can be caught into the warp
or woof with little trouble.
A table runner having each end dec
grated with iris flowers and their long.
dark green leaves done in the darning
stitch II exceedngiy attractive. Over
and under the threads Of coarse linen
the needle is run. filling In the outline
Of the design with wash silk floss in
the lovely purple and violet shades that
are found in the natural flowers. The
centers are all touched with deep yel-
low and the leaves are shaded 80 as to
look as II the sun was on them. bring
ing out the high lights and deepening
the shadows.
Lends Itself to Stencil Designs.
Stencil designs are easily worked in
this stitch: being made for fiat sur
face. they lend themselves to the fiat
method Of embroidery far better than
the designs that require padding to bring
out the beauty to the best advantage.
Butterflies. moths, and dragon flies
make good examples of the work when
combined with small pieces Of satin
and silk appliQued to their wings, with
the darning stitch in colored silks
worked around them. Two dragon flies
with outspread wings. worked In won
derful blues and greens. are used to
decorate the front of a bag Of natural
linen. the wings Of the flies just touching
at their tips, and in the space between
bas.
A centerpiece for the library table Is
of a large square of Russian linen. with
six-inch darned border. having the
dogwood blossom as a motif. The
border Is filed in with thread Of vary
ing shades OF yellow. while the blooms
themselves are done In creamy white.
To obtain the best results. the work
must be done in q frame. No knots are
used. All the threads start from the
under side and are run along a short
distance before they are brought to the
surface. The work can be done either
in all-white or colors that follow those
in nature as closely as possible.
For bureau scarfs, table runners. or
linen covers for tho summer pillows.
simple, conventional designs are pretty.
Often the darning is done all around
the design. that only left plain. having
the outlining merely suggested by the
irregular stitches.
You will do well to consider the darn
ing stitch when starting some new piece
Of work. It can he Elorifed to adorn
the best Of your linen covers and CEN
terpieces.

dren. and when it comes to planning
such thing as an afternoon party or
a dance. for other small girls and boys
such women are at a loss to know which
way to turn. A clever girl. then, who is
successful with little children, would be
just the person to step In in such q
case and pull matters through.
The girl who this fall Is thinking OF
making money in some way at home
ought to take UP this question Of enter
tanning children.
Little cards should be sent out to all
the mothers In the neighborhood saying
that for a certain amount the girl in
Of dances or any entertainments for
small people. The price asked should.
Of course. be in accordance with the
work which is entailed in getting up the
party. Some mothers may merely want
her to amuse the children at the party
and not to arrange the room or table
decorations, in which case the price
would be minor to those compared to
taking charge Of the whole entertain
ment in every little detail.
A special study Of children's games
should be made and any little points
which might help collected whenever
possible.
The girl who understands how to ar
range a table In a pretty way that Is
sure to be attractive and please the lit
tie ones. as well as to select dishes
that she knows they will enjoy. should
surely make quite a name for herself
in this line.
Children Real Critics.
While she, Of course, must please the
mother giving the party for her chill
dren, her real critics are the tiny people
themselves. If the children thoroughly
enjoy every minute Of their time, either
at their own party or at one given by
their little friends, the success Of the
girl or woman understanding the work is
assured. Naturally. they will always beg
mamma to have Miss 80 and So to look
after each one of their little entertain
ments.
Most children love darky songs or any
songs that are funny, so If the enter
tainer has the gift of singing. and sing
ing feelingly. among her other accom-.
plishments. she has another good point
that she can bring out in this work.
Now II the time to start to get people
interested in this plan Of helping to en-
tertain children at their parties From
e to SIS or 81 could be charged for this
work. according to the time given and
the community in which the girl taking
1t up lives.

ROUGH SUITINGS
TO Be MUCH WORN
All.wool Bedford Cord Leading
Fabric for Walking Suits.

The writer, looking at the first show
ing of the new wooden suitings, found
them all SO stylish and good looking
that she hardly knew which one she
liked best Of all the array OF fabrics the
willing saleman took down from tho
shelves to show her.
She learned, however, that the all-wool
Bedford cord is to be the leading fabric
for walking suits this coming winter. It
is decidedly new. and comes in two
toned as well as mingled-toned effects.
One especially pretty and stylish piece
is of black and blue effect. with a min
Cling of Oriental colors all through the
cords. Another pattern shows purple,
black, and silver tones. Both OF these
pieces are very smart and chic looking,
and either would make a stunning suit
ff fashioned after one of the newest de-
signs with a long silk sash to blend in
either Oriental coloring or In silver and
purple tones.
Five Yards to Make Suit.
These Bedford cords are hfty-four
inches wide and come at s. a yard. but
then it takes only five yards Of material
to make a suit.
The new silk and woods are beautiful
and are intended for dressy costumes:
that is, for fashioning those suits which
can be worn correctly in the afternoon.
These came in two-toned diagonals. and
one especially good looking pattern is in
silver and purple, another in kings blue
and black, and a third in gray and black.
The mixed suitings also attracted the
attention of the writer. These are in
tended for fashioning the strictly tai
lored suits and are $2 yard and the
same width as the Bedford cords-hfty-
four inches. Two-toned effects are also
shown In these mixed suitings. and many
have beautiful small checks in black and
tan. black and kings blue, black and
gray, black and red and many other
two-toned effects. The new diagonal
suitings come in shades Of green, brown,
and. burgundy, all two-toned.
Even some Of the serges and cheviots
show q strong tendency toward diagon-
ais and basket weaves, but In a little
different form from the mixed suitings.
In the serges and cheviots this effect
comes out in a rough. shaggy appear
ance. which is very pretty and remark
ably smart looking.
Popular with schoolgirls.
These materials VIII probably be very
popular with the girl in her teens. the
girl who always likes great rough-Iook.
ing coats and suits. These fabrics, how
ever, though they look heavy. are very
light in weight. especially when their
warmth is considered.
Plain serses and plain and striped
broadcloths also attracted the attention
Of the busy shopper. One Of the smartest

broadcloth, with indistinct white stripes.
The newest shades IN the plain mate
rials are kingnsher's blue. old blue. al

lightest to . deep dark color. Green. too.
