for
Mothers
Why Daughter May Re bel.

Far be Ii from a simple soul who
merely writes to stir up another family
fracas In these days Of much domestic
disorder. But it does seem as II any
young girl who is unbecomingly dress
Cd by her mother this summer would
have grounds for rebellion. Most OF
the styles shown for girls in their
teens are 50 charming that 1t will be
mexcusable If the ugly and unsuitable
0nes are chosen.
For of course there are some that
are both ugly and entirely inappropri-
ate for the jeune file, though some OF
our young girls are appallingly blind
b the latter fact The only eXplana-
tion OF the appearance Of these girls is
authority over them. The girls them
selves do not seem to realize that they
are voluntarily giving up the most
charming role in the world.
The whole question, however, is re-
ceiving its due share of attention in
morals, so we may be allowed to stick
b our muttons, otherwise modes.
The flounced skirt is secure of its
position as a leader Of youthful fash
ions In wash materials and is being de
veloped in constantly increasing vari-
ETY.. 1t may consist of deep tunic
reaching to the knees, with single
nounce below that. There may be
three founces, growing deeper from
the belt to the hem or reversing that
order and having the shortest one at
the bottom and the deepest one at the
top.
One charming model seen recently
had an eighteen inch tunic with three
sixteen inch ruffles below it, The next
step may be the solid rufiled sllirt-in
narrow ruffies-which has always been
especially attractive on slim, girlish
figures.
There is one feature, however, that
h almost essential to bring these
dounced skirts up to date. The rufile
or tunic, or whatever it Is. must be
caught up slightly, generally at the left
knee in front, and fastened with rose
or a bunch of flowers. The same ac
cessory is added at the belt where it
Ia half covered by the loose folds of
the corsage.
The skirt often has band Of colOred
satin ribbon encircling it underneath
the shadow lace, for the most attrac-
tive Of these frocks are Of shadow lace
or net founcings and call overs" They
can be made at home or by an ordi-
nary dressmaker, which is another
point very much in their favor. OF
course the big soft girdle is Of wide
ribbon or of silk or satin by the yard
and always in a color.

GRADUATION GIFTS.
Vanity Bags Are Dainty and Extreme
ly Useful.


Many OF your young friends will grad

wondering what to give them. Why
not make them each a vanity bag?
Vanity bags are dainty and extremely
useful; therefore any girl would be de-
lighted to possess one.

vanity bag can he decorated with an
embroidered monogram or wreath Of

dainty decoration and Is easily done. as

Dressinu Up.


Mother came down in a pretty after
noon dress, and wee Maud and Billy
were still in their rompers. They were
nice, clean rompers, to be sure. but still
undeniably the everyday garments.
Maud put up n plea for a best
dress, and mother took her up and put
on q modest little Bingham dress.
"Now, Maud" she said. You will
have to stay on the porch with mother
You cannot play with brother in the
sand pile. Wouldn't you be more com
Portable in the rompers?"
81 know | can't play in the best
dress" said the small woman, 'but |
feel comfortable in my soul"
Every woman will know just what
Maud meant. We all feel comfortable
In our souls when we are freshly and
neatly dressed. 1t is well not to ignore
this fact when training the children.
When the little girl and boy are old
enough to care for It 1t is we'll to have
q change Of clothing just before the
homecoming Of father. 1t may be the
simplest and plainest thing, but it
should be reserved for that time, and
1t will give the desirable dressed up
feeling. No one desires children to
think Of their clothes, and the romper
IL surely the ideal play garment. But
II we are going to teach the children
to be neat and dainty we must begin
In childhood. The woman who ignores
her clothes is rather an unpleasant
creature. We must also be careful not
to let the children ignore them too en-
tirely

Warm Weather Dress For the Baby.


When the warm weather 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 drafts 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
Guilty.
Purchase kimono pattern for a
baby and stamp the border with seal
lops. Down the fronts and around the
sleeves stamp a dainty flower design.
Either forgetmenots. rosebuds or VIC
lets 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.
