The outdoor garments made FOR
small lads and lasses in the winter
time are first designed for warmth.
This essential is taken care of and
after that they achieve what meas
ure of grace and style the material
and the seasons modes will allow.
Overcoats for the small boy are cut
q little shorter than in previous sea-
sons, of very heavy close-wOven wool
ems. Dark blue is a favOrite color for
them, but there are many dark mix
lures, indistinct checks and few
crossbars. They are double-breasted,
with ample collars that may be rolled
up about the neck and ears. A very
good model is that shown in the pic
ture. which provides large but incon-
spicuous patch pockets for the con-
venience of the most appreciative OF
all possessors of pockets.
A coy coat for little girl, with
cap to match, is pictured, with collar
and cuffs of plush. 1t is made of
heavy wool-knitted material and is
soft and warm. The stitched belt,
shaped to include pockets, reflects
popular treatment of the belt in coats
for older girls. With cap to match,
which may be pulled down over the
ears, trim, smart outfit makes the
youngster look as comfortable as she
feels.
For the little miss who has arrived
at the dignity of going out to parties,
pretty coats are made and childish
furs are designed to reinforce them.
White Iceland fox and other inexpen-
sive white furs are prettiest for the
little girl. The next best choice for
her are the little gray squirrel sets.
There are several other furs suited
to children, and all of them are in
tended for the little miss to wear up

Confused Deities.

An Englishman was visiting in an
American family in which there was a
young boy of eight years. The noble
man was addressed by all members
of the family as my Lord" AS soon
as the family were seated at the table
the lord was served first of all. Each
dish was offered him with the remark,
my Lord, will you have this?" or my
Lord, do you care for this?" 1t hap
pened that the pickle was overlooked,
and the nobleman reached to get
some. The small boy, seeing this,
punched his mother and said in a loud
whisper:
Mother, mother, God wants
pickle"

An officer attached to one Of the re-
