Make Garments Fit.

Many hard worked mothers seek
to tighten their labors by providing
for the outgrowing Of the gown in

A MONG the many tasks that
~ fall to the home dress
maker, perhaps the most
exaeting and important is the
making Of clothing for the
children. Never we're there more
picturesque and charming designs
than are shown in the styles Of the
present day, yet results are by no
means all satisfactory Simplicity
and daintiness are the two qualities
most to be desired. Fussy clothes
are never in good taste on children,
and should always be avoided as
far as possible but care as TO detail
is all important. Many people seem
20 have an idea that ht is not at all
necessary in the case Of child. A
garment is cut according to a pattern,
and all the little niceties Of fitting,
such as would be observed in the
case Of an older person, are entirely
neglected. Skirts that dip in the
back, and seem to ride up in the front,
are in evidence at every turn. Belts
that are just a little too short, or

will give any frock a careless, slovenly
appearance, no matter how handsome
the material may be. Cuimpes
should be fitted to the child with the
greatest care, both as TO shoulders
and neck. Sleeves must be cut to the
proper length, neither too short nor
too long.

For the School Girl.
In making over a gown for q

by combination with plaid Of gay
tones. Bands or folds should trim

and worn over a guimpe Of the

(By William C. Shepherd. United

DUNKIRK, France. Jan. 2S.-(By
mail to New York)-"whats going to
happen when spring comes?"
A Belgian officer. straight from the
trenches in Flanders, answered the
question for me thus: Nothing in
my opinion. The army boards on
both sides have got puzzle to work
out that no military men have ever
faced In the worlds history. Did you
ever see two prize fighters go into a
clinch and refuse to break apart for
fear the other would get the advan-
tago OF him in the breakaway?
We'll. that is the situation along
the whole line. There are the two ar
mics nose TO nose. You can search
through military history and you'n
never find two armies that have been
so close together without hand to
hand battle as these two armies are.
Now how are We going TO break
apart. You must realize that behind
cur lines and behind the German lines
for many miles. the earth has been
torn up by trenchmakers. You can't
drag artillery over trenches. You
have TO bridge each trench and the
more trenches the Germans dig now,
the harder II will be for either side
to move its artillery in the spring and
neither side can advance without NOV
ing its big guns. It's going to be a
terrible and perhaps an impossible Job
for the artillery men on either side
when spring breaks. They'll have 10

you know" he added. at was the
Germans who had the new things
when this war started. We've found
out that years ago they threw away
all their old ideas OF warfare and
started new again with new ideas and
new principles. The Germans from
the start have only made new things
ready for US. OF course. their huge
suns were new. But their trench
was also new. For instance,
the old idea Of ch-making was to
throw the en- .th up in a high bank
before the trench. But the Germans
had better trick than that. Their
idea was TO hide their trenches and
so they spread out the earth which |
they took from their trenches in such
a way that 1t was impossible TO locate
q German trench until you had almost
come up to IT, The allies we're quick
enough to adopt the same plan, but
we bad some nasty lessons first.
"Tten the Germans introduced a
new trick when they burrowed un-
derneath our trenches and blew them
up, from below. II took US weeks to
get the tools for burrowing. We do
as much burrowIng now as they do;
