fashion may favor in the way of
grown-up's dress. she has the good
sense to make children's clothes SIM

White is always most satisfactory
all the year round for small folk, and,
though it means an increase in the
laundry bill, the results certainly war
rant the extravaganza.
Keep the small garments simple
That is the only rule to be followed
in the fashioning, and because they
are simple, do not get the idea tina,
there is no room for variety, for there
are always clever little touches by way
of distinctiveness and any number OF
methods to introduce them, carefully
worked out in detail

NEW YORK, May G The word

is all esta blished fact by now that this
appeal IS particularly strong to the
masculine mind

In order to emphasize its design in
the highest degree the lines are made
to run in different ways. They begin
horizontally on the full, short skirt and
finish vertically in seton band

Old and New Skirts.

The crinoline has not confined it's in

frocks, for it is equally popular for

fitted or tight as you may desire

WHEN YOU GO CAMPING.

II you are going camping in your
summer vacation you are doubtless
planning now about the clothes you
will wear and the outfit you will carry
Here are some suggestions about both.
Remember that the two essential
things about all camping outfits are
serviceability and compactness. That
Is to say, the things must be useful
and they must be easy to take care of.
Your clothes must be few, and each
must serve the greatest number of
uses possible. Your furniture must be
simple, strong and easy to handle.

to wear over the stockings. under the
