ROBE-COVER-ALL WRAP

One of the most useful, as well as
the most attractive, wraps for wear
this season is the ankle-length, loose
ly hung, broad-belted coat with large
patch pocket.
The model which Miss Beverly
Bayne is wearing in this picture is
made of knitted Jersey cloth, emerald
green. The skirt of the coat has
clever little plat in the sides.
Its distinctive features are high
auto collar of fur which buttons
tightly around the neck, and fancy

Ter to remedy it upon the model than
upon the dolls patterned after her.
So little Mildred has found lucra-
tive job. 1t is no trick at all, she'll tell
you, to stand perfectly still if there
are hundred wide-eyed dollies star
ing up at her in wonder, while an
other is closely cornered in the crook
of her elbow.
It's no hardship at all to "smile and
look pleasant" when you are all
dressed up in the most joyful colors
imaginable; just like little Dutch
boy or just like a real indian with
long lasso in one hand.
Mildred has almost white hair,
red, round cheeks and clear blue eyes.
No wonder they chose her for the
original of Neutrality Jim," the
Dutch doll whom so many children
are numbering among the new play
things in the nursery.
