Summer or winter, the play and
school frocks of the very small girl
are made of materials that can be
washed. Durable linen in the natural
or in gay colors, wash flannel, pique'
Bingham, chambray, kindergarten
cloth, all present themselves to the
hand of the seamstress, in plain plaid
and striped designs. Very little trim
ming is used and little girls frocks
must depend for their style on color,
cut and combinations of plaid or
striped with plain material.
But if good taste prohibits much
trimming on the clothes of the little
miss it encourages a bit Of pretty
needlework and oddities in cut. So
long as the designer does not depart
from simplicity or unbroken lines she
may indulge her fancy for unusual
shaped Jokes. sleeves and yoke in one.
and quaint effects in finishing touches.
The two little frocks pictured here
are of the everyday sort that mothers
are making up in heavy linens and
other wash fabrics. In them the little
girl may romp along with her broth
ers; they are designed for much wear.
At the left plain dress is shown

In the displays of new millinery that
are of paramount interest just now
women complain that the great variety
In style and design in new hats is be-
wildering. There are SO many shapes
to choose from! Shall the hat be
made of velvet or hatter's plush or
felt or velour or fur or selected from
among the innumerable combinations
of these and other fabrics? What is
the wisest choice in a season not domi-
mated by a few styles?
Such season leaves the individual
to her own resources in making, a
choice. But 1t affords her a chance to
exercise fine judgment in suiting her
millinery to her own particular type.
There are few freakish styles, in spite
of this wonderful variety in hats, and
there is hat for every face.
One cannot go wrong in choosing
velvet or any of the materials men,
toned. Colors are dark and rich, and
trimmings correspond. Metallic laces
and braids, elaborate beadwork, silk
and velvet flowers (and those covered
with tinseI, ribbons of high luster, and
rich ostrich plumes, are set off by the
hats of beautiful and sedate colors
that form the best of backgrounds for
them. Fur and the most elaborate and
carefully made fancy feathers, or the
peculiar new cut steel ornaments pro-
vide many novelties in. the way Of

made of dark blue linen with collar,
cuffs and belt of tan linen. 1t has
short opening at the front with eye
lets worked in tan floss in a close,
even buttonhole stitch on each side.
1t slips on over the head and fastens
by means of narrow ribbon in black or
dark blue laced through the eyelets.
A bit OF needlework appears on the
cuffs and collar in small embroidered
disk of the same size as the eyelets.
A dress Of striped pique or other
striped material is pictured at the
right. It is made with seton belt,
and two plaits appear at each side, in
the skirt portion, below the belt. The
collar and cuffs in white are edged
with a plain buttonhole-stitched seal
lop, and this simple edging finishes
the plat which covers the front open
ing.
A double row of round buttons is set
down the front, and two larger buttons
of the same kind fasten through but
tonholes in the ends Of the belt, which
is stitched to the dress only along the
upper edge at the sides and back.
This makes it convenient to launder
the dress. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

trimmings, unlike any that have gone
before.
Three of the new patterns are
shown in the group pictured here. The
small hat at the top has coronet OF
velvet which is wide at the back but
narrowed to small upturned brim at
the front. A brilliant corded silk Gov
ers the crown and the inside OF the
coronet, forming binding about the
edge of the hat. Two smart, upstand-
ing plumes at the back, taken with
the shape of the hat, suggest mill
tary mode.
At the left wide,brimmed hat with
soft crown is made of velvet. The
brim is curved in gentle and grace
full lines. A metallic braid and large
flower, which looks like the ARREST OF
filigree, make UP the simple and very
effective trimming.
At the right a felt hat faced with
velvet shows another Of the pictur
esuue wide-brimmed models. In this
hat the crown is higher. Wide MORE
ribbon and silver lace adorn the I'M
usual shape, in which the brim IS
deeply slashed at each side.

MAKES PRISON LIFE EASY
Sheriff Provides Gymnasium and Wife
Puts Canaries in Jail to Divert
Minds of Inmates.

Bellefontaine. GA gymnasium has
been provided in the Logan county
jail for the pleasure of the prisoners.
Sheriff George Smith, feeling that the
men needed some other form of recrea-
ton than reading, has put in the
equipment at his own expense.
Mrs. Smith, the sheriff's wife, has
placed two canary birds in the Jail to
help divert the minds of the prison
ers. A man who has been prisoner
in the Jail for several months has
been permitted to have his graphic
phone with him all of the time, and
daily concerts have been provided,
continuous programs bec=g the rule.
