Garb of Child PICTURESQUE

There is no reason why school coats
and frocks cannot be picturesque. And
by picturesque is not meant anything
fancifm OF extreme. hut the pretty
touches that hit costume out Of the
commonplace The designs with which
Kate Greenaway delighted the children
OF IA generation or more ago are being
adapted with great success for party
frocks and may be- modified also for
school dresses and for coats
The majority Of mothers have now
come to the realization that children may
be dressed IN dainty. becoming frOCks
without any likelihood Of making them
vain and self-ConsCious. \ few years
ago-not more than a decade. either
mothers Iabored under the deluSiCn that
plain dresses created character. and that
the girl who wore pretty clothes would
develop into a woman whose main object
in life would be to obtain foolish finery.
The students OF human nature are now
showing the mothers that this promise
was all wrong. and that the girl acCus-
toned to pretty. becoming clothes from
childhood was very apt To forget all about
her dresses and take them as a matter OF
course. ON the other hand. no mother but
one VINO has had the same experience
can appreciate the feelings Of girl with
love Of the beautiful when she is COM
PEELED to wear ugly clothes And the
clothes for which they long are not
necessarily more expensive nor more elab-
crate than those provided for them. but
the style is more becoming. the mate
rial aud COlOrings are more attractive
and the general effect Is more artistic.
Even the simple kimono dress may be
made picturesque by distinctive trim
mings. Opt Of the exclusive shops is
showing a simple little dress OF this type
in a dark green and blue plaid. A round
collar uf dark blue taffeta is embroidered
in the briar stitch carried out in green.

Many OF the style notes Of the season
can be introduced on the school dresses
for young girls. and will bring them up
to date. besides adding distinctive
touch. In adapting the new STYLES it is
well To remember that simplicity should

StepenSGl'S Morning Face
By FRANCES SHAFFER

When one asks herself why 1t is that
Robert Louis Stevenson holds so warm a
niche in the heart of his public one finds
herself thinking. not OF the rich legacy
of beautiful essays and stories that he
left when his light went out but rather
of the doctrine of cheeriness that flooded
his whole lifetime with brightness and
will not soon fade away
For Just 10 read of his fine patience
all the while he was sitting in the very
shadows of death puts new courage into
some faltering hearts that need to be
urged along, out OF themselves.
1t Was over twenty years from the time
he was ;idden to seek sunny cline for
the health that was always far away
until the last call came. and all the while,
with suffering pressing close and hard,
his writings were redolent of the sunny
temperament that never failed him.
And it was not alone his writings that
were permeated with sunshine for there
was his daily life. as CHEEKY as the best
of his words. And il would not mean
quite so much II he had not always been
painfully conscious of the hand Grimly
beCkOning him into another world. The
year before he died, in a letter to a
friend. he wrote that for fourteen years
he had not had a days real health and
had written when torn with physical
ills. written when his life-bOOd seemed
to be ebbins away and when his head
swan for weakness Yet even in that
'Onfession. there, was the same evidence
of splendid courage when he said h, had
fought so long it seemed to him he had
won his wager and recovered his glove
1t mattered little where he went;
friends sprang up all along the way. II
it was on an emigrant ship, to give him
a IOoN at life from a new point OF view
he saw the bright. beautiful side OF
things and of people And when he left
the ship he took something with him,
but +, left rather more behind.
