yellow embroidered white net. The
pointed neck of the slip-closed up
the front 10 the waist line-is defined
by ribbon run chiffon band. A band
girdlc, starting an inch below the
waist at the back, ascends to point in
front where it joins the V neck, the
while heading plcated white chiffon
tunic which loosely wells the upper
part of the skirt.
Pink stenoilling borders the white
silk skirt of frock whose skirt scarce
ly overlsps its wearer's knees.
A Miniature Picture Costume.
Rarely are sleeves Of children's
frocks definitely indicated. One ex-
ception, however, is noted in picture
costume in cornhower figured white
silk, white net and plain cornhower
tlue taffeta. There are many Of these
in miniature, for the small daughter
can better carry them off than can
her self-conscious mother.
The figured silk skirt is plain and
narrow, the lace underbody is tight
fitting and sleeveless, and the jacket,
sloping sharply away from box pleat
frill finished, low cut neck band, disap-
pears under the arms at the waist line
and is gathered into box pleated frill-
ing crossing the back.
The round, puffy sleeves, gathered
into box pleats about the elbow, seem
to stand apart from the jacket proper,
yet they perfectly suit it. A bunchy,
gracefully shapeless little coat it is,
quaint, unusual and altogether charm
ing for a girl of eight.
Toreador Suit for Little Man.
If any party clothes are more fasci-
mating than those worn by the wee
women, they are those designed for
the embryo men. The Dickens suits
with their tight little coats are novel,
but there are appealing suggestions OF
the Spanish toreador about model
in white linen. Its ball button edged
Jacket fronts are short and open over
a soft, loose shirt in finest lawn; a
led, green and yellow striped Roman
silk girdle encircles the waist and the
trousers fit smoothly over the hips and
the knees.
The feature OF a more conventional
party costume for boy is hip-length
belted blouse in sheer white batiste.
1t fastens straight down the front un-
der finely knife pleated frill, which
stands up about the neck, but lies
fatty over the wrists, where it finishes
rather full sleeves.

Chiffon Frocks Most Fashionable.
Frocks in chiffon will be plentiful at
next summers parties. One destined
10 figure at Bar Harbor afternoon
events was especially imported for a
seven-year-old girl. 1t is in two
pieces. Over an accordion-pleated
knee length skirt, caught loosely down
al the under side to four-inch wide
pink satin ribbon, falls an unbeited,
accordion pleated tunic ribbon Dor
dered under its pleats.

LOST of US are very much like
NI Topsy, inasmuch as we Just

wi Topsy, inasmuch as we ]us'
"growed up" without any one
having taken special pains to regulate
our development in accordance with
definite principles. Not that our
mothers didn't care. Oh, how they
cared and how they worried about US!
But their care and their worry were
rot very effective, compared with
modern standards.
The modern demand is for efficien-
ycy. and the experts claim that the
principles of efficiency must be ap-
piled to all kinds of human effort, and
they make no exception for the work
OF the mother in bringing up her chill
dren. The distinctive thing about
modern efficiency is that it seeks to
apply the discoveries OF science and
the methods of science to the solution
of every problem that comes up.
From this point OF view we must
learn to apply science not only to the
management of the household but
elso to the feeding of our children.
/ Most of us have come TO realize how
much the health-the very existence
of our children depends upon the
application of science, for we have
seen the death rate of children under
one year of age fall in very few
years from nearly twenty in the hun
bred to less than ten only through
the application of the teachings OF
science to the care and feeding of in
fants.
Greater Progress Through Science.
Yet we hear people say that you
and l were brought up by our parents
without scientific feeding-and here
we are. No doubt you and are here
but millions of little brothers and Sis
tiers are not with us. We hear many
say that our forefathers ran their
farms without any of the new-tangled
notions and methods and devices, and
somehow they got along. No doubt
they got along. but doubtless we get
along much better to-day.
The measure Of progress is not IT

the people apply. And when It comes
to applying what the scientists know
about the nature Of the child what
class of people is more concerned
than the mothers'
The time is past when we can rely
upon our instincts to tell US what to
do with our children. Our instincts
were never sufficient to tell US how
to feed our children, and surely If any
instincts could be relied upon they
would be the instincts that have to do
with the basic fact OF feeding.
High Death Rate Not Natursi.
We had taken it for granted that
the frightfully high infant death rate
was natural and proper until some
irving scientists showed that it is
quite possible to save most OF the
babies. We had taken it for granted
that baby's sickness was natural and
proper Until scientists showed US that
most of it could be avoided If we take
the trouble to make use OF reliable
knowledge. We have also learned
that there are better ways of dressing
and housing our families than those
os the good old days
How much more important 1t is to
use the best knowledge and the ripest
thought of the age in the training OF
our children's habits and characters
must be apparent TO all who realize
how much more life is than meat and
rainent Our instincts are not
enough to guide us to an understand
ing of the childs mind; yet we must
have such understanding if we are to
do the right thing with him. We must
have knowledge because we have the
responsibility. Tact and sympathy
and intuition are essential, but these
without knowledge and understanding
are sure to lead us into sentimental
ism or into evasions. The modern
mother must, therefore, learn TO apply
the methods of efficient, scientific
management in the bringing up OF her
children, as we'll as in the feeding and
housing of her children and in the
care for their health.
Science Is Common Sense.
It is not to be expected that every
mother will become a scientist or an
efficiency expert. But every mother
can and should make use of the ex-
perience and knowledge that are avail
able. Science is common sense or
ganized for ordinary people to use.
There are no universal rules, how
ever, that one need only memorize
and fall back upon in emergencies.
There can be no universal rules be-
cause no two children are exactly
alike. and, besides, every child is con-
stantly changing. 1t is perhaps these
facts that have so long kept mothers
from developing sound principles in
! the training of children.
