A Pretty FrOck for q Child

was terribly lonesome for Elinor to-
day, so I ran over to Mollies to see the
kiddies. II was raining so l knew they
would be at home. Mollie has big
playroom on the fourth floor. where all
the children of the neighborhood congre-
gate when the weather will not allow
them to go out.
After I had entertained them for n
while telling them stories. I went down
to Molie's boudoir to have a chat. She
was sewing, as usual. and the dress she
was working on attracted my attention
right away You see. 1t was SO plain
and so fashionable. Many mothers waste
time and eyesight trying TO embroider
children's dresses when they may be
made Just as prettily by using palmer
trimmings, such as crochet buttons,
dainty edgings, etc.
This little dress was for Mollie's old
est youngster, who will be 10 next July.
She is ono of those frall dainty chill
dren, who require a background, so to
speak, to show up their charms. Her
dress served this purpose admirably. 1t
was made of old rose linen, with an
odd little coatee for waist. over
guimpe of plated white rice cloth.
The guimpe, of course. is one which

how to show or conceal the good or bad
points of their figures.
The result is that instead OF being
spoken of, perhaps. as 'passably good
looking" they have the reputation of
being quite fascinating" or possibly are
credited with actual beauty of feature.
Many girls are looked upon as the ugly
ducklings" of family simply because
they lack the little wholesome spice of
vanity they need to make them sufficient
ly careful how they dress and look.
Never was there a greater mistake!
Nature herself, If they would but heed
her. would point it out. She lavlshes
beauty upon us on every side.

Four-leaf Clovers

Il know place where the sun is like
gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with snow.
And down underneath is the lovelest spot
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
"one leaf is for hope and one for faith.
And one for love, you know;
And God put another one in for luck.
If YOU search you will find where thew
grow.
But you must have hope, and you must
have faith,
You must love and be strong, and so
IL you work, If you wait, you will find the
place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow"

AROUND THE BARGAIN COUNTERS
Newest Styles in Gloves, Footgear and Hosiery

kid gloves are very attractive this sea-
son, and promise to be as fashionable in
the sprins and summer months as the
silk ones. The craze for leather articles
Of all kinds, such as belts, gloves novelty
shoes, etc. is probably responsible for
this.

In Chestnut street shop. Some odd-and
