Dresses for Southland.

Among the gowns for the south is a
frilly affair Of thin white batiste and
lacy embroidery. The rather high en-
pire waist line makes it into a babyish
type Of frock. 1t has the modish puff
ed sleeves.
A pink rose with the turquoise-blue
velvet sash gives the necessary pom
padour coloring-white. blue and pink.
The daintiness of the skirt is accen-
tuated by a half dozen tiny ruffles at
the hem and an overbinding of sap
phire-blue velvet on the skirt edge. A
white chip hat, with d flower and fruit
cluster. has velvet streamers at the
back. 1t is all exquisite, adorable.
One has to be very careful in these
dresses to get the proportions right. If
the skirt is the eight inches from the
ground length the waist line must be
lifted enough so that the wearer will not
look too short-limbed. II the skirt does
not flare enough the new horsehair braid
| may be sewn In the hem to keep it out.
White voile, with a pink crush girdle,
L, has the pink repeated in the drop skirt
| Of net and pink ribbon. A big mush-
| room shaped hat Of black tulle is massed
with kid fruit and velvet flowers in multi
colored tones. Another simple frock is
of cotton, a soft crepe with a collar of
white faille silk and girdle of black
| velvet.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

Although winter has not by any means
given up the ghost yet, it is well to
formulate few definite notions Of what
the spring has in store for us. and make
advance plans for warm weather ward
robes A tour Of the shops will help Won
derfully, from which one may reach con-
clusions by a process of elimination. for
the very ultra and extreme styles seldom
survive among women of discriminating
taste.
One of the very best investments for
spring is a frock that will be neither
too dressy for street wear nor too tai
lored for indoors. and for such costume
taffeta is most desirable, especially the
new faille and grosgrain taffetas III
pleasing soft colors.
A smart example is illustrated. Here.
putty -colored faille is used, with dull
metal-braid buttons and embroidery
worked in bottle green floss.
The killed skirt is attached to sleeve

the blouse is slipped. 1t goes on over

Child's Allowance.

Should boys and girls have their own
allowance. in proportion to the means
OF the parents, as soon as they are old
enough to know the value Of money!
This is what many parent has said in
substance:
Certainly. An allowance Is the best
safeguard against the habit Of extrava-
gance if the child is taught to spend
the money judiciously and to keep a
strict account of all expenditures. 1t is
absurd to think that boy is not cap
able of buying his own neckties or a
girl her handkerchiefs. What If they
do make mistakes? They can be taught
to profit by them and they must learn
to rely upon themselves sooner or later.
Children like to be trusted. and will
seldom betray confidence"

Rough Edges Eliminated.

1t is annoying to have the edges
slightly rough when the nice button
holing on your work is cut out. One
good way to remedy this is to dip it in
thin raw starch. then dry, sprinkle.

embroidered edges.
And here's another tip.
Should an embroidered or crocheted
edge centerpiece raise in the 1nudie.

Marketing.

Uncle Sans new Office of markets
is, fguratively. the crucible into
which is poured the conglomerate
mass of commercial problems and

with the transfer Of foodstuffs from
