II sounds like cxaggeratiou, bat it is

Of pants to one blouse and to provide
generous hem on the blouse In case
of shrinkage. A belt made Of two
thicknesses Of the material In the
blouse and strengthened by machine
stitching Is best fastened with button
and buttonhole. Wash fabrics should
be shrunk before the suit Is made.
Plain fabrics make the most attrao-
tive clothes for little boys. On linens
or other material suited to embroid-
ering, small patterns appear on the
cuffs and collars. Machine stitching
makes an appropriate decoration also
for boys clothes But no Ornamental
tion at all Is better than much orna-
mentation, and embroidery or ma
chine stitching or braiding is to be
sparingly used.

IN THAT happy day when the baby
~ boy discards dresses and proudly
disdains them forever afterward he
dons distinctly masculine outfit like
that pictured in the pleasing illustra-

and he is hereafter to be clothed in
substantial stuffs to fit the rough-and-
, tumble experiences Of his boyhood
which lie before him.
All the world over mothers might
follow this manner Of dressing the
small man, and find it In every way
the most satisfactory Of styles. 1t al
lows the child absolute freedom, Is
easily kept clean and is smart In ap-
pearance. 1t Is so simple in construc-
ton that the most ordinary of needle
women can undertake the making.
All the stronglywoven cotton, lin
en- and plain woolen fabrics, and espe-
cially those that will stand Tubing,
are used for the tiny boy. Serges,
cheviots, velveteens (for dressy wear),
ginghams, coarse, unbleached linens,
cotton or wool corduroy, pique and
white linens (the last two for dress
up occasions in summer time) and
other desirable fabrics make 1t easy
to choose something for him. In the

gray flannel, with collar and cuffs Of a
ribbed fabric In red. The pants are
Of the same material as the blouse.

A strand Of odd Chinese beads Of
mother-of-pearl and glass, fastened at
intervals on a strong silken cord and
finished with a tassel, adds an item OF
interest to the quiet gown Of black
cloth.
With a mantle which Spain may
have inspired, collar patterned after
those worn In France three centuries
ago, and queer beads of ancient Chi
nese origin as TO design, the youthful
wearer demonstrates how all the
world pays tribute to beauty and is
busy fashloning things for Its adorn-
ing. It will not grow less busy, for
beauty instlnctively believes in going

OFF WITH HIS HEAD.

The st. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN wants
to abolish the office of attorney general
because it costs more than it is worth.
Most of us would be willing to abolish
the present incumbent and put a real
lawyer ON the job. The CALIFORNIAN has
not yet suggested aboIishing the office
Of governor, though it is suspected of
being out Of sympathy with the pres
ent executive. For instance, it SAYS:
The item of $G,3s9.G2 for special at
torneys is undoubtedly the work of the
governor in giving Jobs to his friends
as special counsel and nothing the le-
gal authorities are responsible for.
This is at least 'damning with faint
praise Perhaps if the attorney-gen-
eral had been qualified for the place
there wouldn t have been so much
special counsel necessary.
Everybody knew that Rufus Z
Brown was not a proper candidate fo1
encouragement when he was nominal
ed by the Republican state convention
but the lawyers had him slated for hi:
turn and he got it.

That others besides The Aleddler have
noted the tendency toward inefiiciency
that results from a double-barrcl system

has is indicated by statement that Mr..
Smith makes in connection with the sewer
line from West Brattleboro. He says:
The intricacies of town and village gov
eminent might shift the responsibility
back and forth and so another reason is
found for doing nothing" The intricacies
of town and village government are con
tnualIy shifting responsibility where it
doesn't belong, with the result that things
that ought to be done are left undone or
| done IN the wrong way and vice versa.
| When Brattleboro adopts a government
with one set of officials who cannot lay

else, then it will be in a position to get

annually for municipal upkeep and inn
provement.

The MeddLer
IL the coat fits goa, put it on"

The constantly widening scope of the
activities of the incorporated district
schools is source of interest and gratifi-
cation to those who have been familiar
with school affairs for any length of time
One cannot read the reports of the officers
without being impressed by the change
that has come over the curriculum in the
past ten years. Nowadays, in addition to
their regular studies, pupils receive spe-
cial instruction in such practical arts as
sewing and carpentry and are guided in
their recreation by competent instructors
in physical culture. Gymnastic exercises
and folk dances form a regular part of
their work, and no doubt the relaxation
gained from these activities has a whole
some effect on classroom efficiency The
establishment of summer Fairgrounds and
the use of school buildings as social cen
tiers are also moves in the right direction,
while the employment of a competent
school nurse has already proven wise
proceeding. OF course, these trimmings
as some folks are wont to call them cost
in the village district are a more expen-
sive proposition at present than they We're
a decade ago, but it is equally true that
they are worth whole lot more as IN
struments for the upbuildng of future
good citizens. The school nurse idea.
which has been on trial since last fall, is
one in which The Meddler has especial
confidence and to which he sincerely hopes
the voters of the district will give their
approval when the matter comes up at
| the annual meeting next Tuesday evening.
| The district was unusually free from con
tagious diseases last year and there can
be little question that this fortunate con
dition was due in large measure to the
attention that was given the health of
the pupils by Miss Davis Her sugges-
ton that the expense of making children
physically fit for education be made a
civic affair is one to which attention
might well be given, particularly in the
matter of dentistry.
