"Aw," squirming and wriggling,

shocked to hear you. What makes

LONG OR SHORT COAT
BOTH HAVE SANCTION OF FASH
ION THIS SEASON.
In Chiffon or Lace They Are Partleu-

Also High In Favor.

There is no end to the short coats
the last, though you need time to ac-
custom yourself to their abbreviation
Whether they are so generally becom-
ing as the longer coats and cloaks is a
question of taste. Certainly they con-
sort better with the short skirt of the
trotting frock.
Long coats and cloaks for carriage
and evening wear are lovelier than
ever before, and the triumph of the
season is the filmy coat of chiffon or
lace usually without lining other than
another tone of chiffon.
One of the lovellest cloaks is of en-
broidered chiffon. The long lines of
drapery are exceedingly artistic and
the fullness at the top of the coat
at the back Is held in place by
square shaped tab of exquisite en-
broidery.
Another cloak is of brocaded crepe
de chine. At the neck there is a high
rundown frill of mousseline de sole.
The cloak is shirred on cord at the

Equally good in its way is the shap-

COOLER CLOTHES FOR BABY
One Of the Problems That the Warmer
Weather Puts Forward to the
Young Mother.

When the warm summer months
confront us the young mother begins
to think about cool clothes for baby,
and not the least important of the ar.
ticles required for the wardrobe is
the loose coat to be worn over the
long dress, for baby dare not be
exposed to draughts at any time.
The needlework shops are showing
an attractive variety of long coats
made of crepe de chine or albatross.
These can be copied with little diff
fculty.
Purchase a kimono pattern for
baby In long clothes and stamp the
border with scallops. Down the fronts
and across the sleeves stamp a dainty
flower design; either forget-me-nots,
rose buds or violets are suitable
White silk of fine quality should be
used to embroider the flowers.
First pad the petals, using white
darning cotton for the purpose. Make
the padding stitches the length of the
petals and cover them with silk, max
ing the stitches at right angles with
the padding. Buttonhole the scallops
with heavier twisted silk, padding
them first with the darning cotton.
Tie the fronts together with white
ribbon an inch In width.
If desired, these dainty coats can be
lined with a light quantity OF china
silk, but they are more frequently
unlined for summer use.
If you haven't little one of your
own, make dainty coat for tiny
friend or relative. 1t is fascinating
work, as the soft materials are easy
to work with.

Proper Food Put the Troubles Away.

Our own troubles always seem more
severe than any others. But when a
man is unable to eat even a light
breakfast, for years, without severe
distress. he has trouble enough.

food which cleared away the troubles.
