A LTHOUGH the baby girl disports
"A herself nearly all the time in plain
little slips of various sheer materials
she requires occasionally finery of the
finest kind. Wee tucks and narrow
valenciennes laces, hand embroidery
(sparingly used and in the daintiest of
patterns). are relied upon for the little
decorative finishings to her frocks for
daily wear. And no matter how per-
sistently repeated, these things never
grow tiresome. Every mother de-
lights in small garments finished with
fine hand work. The painstaking care
with which every stitch is set in place
bears witness to the mothers care,
whether the stitching Is done by her
own or others hands.
Although the baby will look as
sweet in the plainest of slips as In
anything else. there are times when
she requires extra finery to suitably
honor a special occasion. Then the
wits must be set to work to use the
means at hand to make her real
"dress-up" clothes. Sheer, fine fabrics
in cotton or linen, dainty hand en-
broidery and narrow valenciennes
laces continue to provide the mate
rails. But little oddity of cut, lit
tie extravaganza in embroidery, the
introduction of bit of gay ribbon, and
the employment Of the finest fabrics
give the holiday air that make her
dress for state occasions.
A fine dress of sheer batiste for
the little lady is shown in the picture.
1t is simply cut, having the bottom
edge trimmed into points. the elbow
sleeves fiaring. and also finished with
shallow prints. All raw edges are cut
into. small scallops. These have first
been stamped and buttonhole stitched
with faultless exactness of needlework

Keeping Collars Clean.

Every woman knows how hard II is
to keep a lace collar clean while
wearing fur next to it. Get three
fourths yard lace five inches deep.
Shir this one inch from edges onto
tape as large around as the top Of
your fur collar or fur piece. Sew
fine snap fasteners on taps and the
other part Of fasteners on inside Of
fur piece. so when snapped together
the lace stands up like a ruching
around the neck. It is just few mo-
ments' work to take 1t out and wash
1t and 1t keeps your collars clean.

His voice choked. Then, her hands
strayed up, and clasped themselves
about his head.

someone had struck her. you've cut

But he wished that he had not had to
rake that excuse. Then, being hon
est, he told her all about Adrienne Les
| cott-even about how, after he be-
lieved that he had been outcast by his
uncle and herself, he had had his mo-
ments of doubt. Now that 1t was all so
clear, now that there could never be
doubt, he wanted the woman who had
been so true friend to know the girl
whom. he loved. He loved them both,
but was in love with only one. He
wanted to present to Sally the friend
who had made him, and to the friend
who had made him the Sally of whom
he was proud He wanted to tell
Adrienne that now he could answer
her question--that each of them meant
to the other exactly the same thing;
they were friends of the rarer sort,
who had for little time been in dan
ger Of mistaking their comradeship for
passion.

Sally held the rifle across her knees.

After a moments pause, Samson
added:
