FROCKS FOR THE DAUGH.
TER

The newest models in girls frocks are
cleverly arranged one-piece dresses, the
skirt made without a placket hole. the
| belt being large enough to slip on over
| the head, and the waist which is fasten-
ed on the skirt, being open from the
neck to the belt line in front Some
times this front opening is arranged sur
plice fashion and sometimes 1t buttons
quantity right Gown the front.
The chief advantage of these frocks is
that the little girl can don them and
fasten them without assistance. They
are also easy to wash and iron and have
the great advantage that a one-piece
dress always possesses. The waist of
these frocks is long, coming somewhat
below the normal belt line. Sashes tied
either on the frc7t. side or the back are
worn with thin.
A few white frocks of this description
that could be made at small expense at
home or could be bought at a reasonable
.gure at this season Tgill serve very
nicely for dancing sciooI and party wear
now. Then when the freshness is gone
they can be ashed and used for every
day afternoon dresses all summer.
The old-fashioned challis dress for lit
tie girls has come back into fashion. And
II is the oId-fashioned challis-sman of
figure and quaint of design. These frocks
are trimmed win colored ribbons and
touches of lace at Il : sleeve and neck.
For school frocks the guimpe has come
in again, but it is usually Guinpe that
opens in the front, more like an old
fashioned chemisette than anything else.
A frock made of plain blue serge or
one of the small plaids or checks would
be very serviceable now for school days
and IS spring days come it could do for
an outdoor frock without coat.
For girls betV. cen ten and fifteen there
ar. many school frocks made of blue
ser with long bla,'1 satin sleeves for
all the world like tie frocks of grown
ups.
For practical school wear there is moth
g more suitable than the Russian
blous- model, made usually of dark blue
serge, and worn with a pique or lawn
guimpe chemi' tie.

What Is a Woman's Page?

Cookery cosmetics and clothes. These
three words would practically include all
that a woman's page of a few years ago
was supposed to contain. II a woman
wanted to find out whether she should
have the sleeves in her new gown small
or large. if she wanted to find a recipe
for concocting made-over meats, if she
wanted to know how to remove freckles
overnight, she might turn to the wom-
ans page.
But if she wanted to gain information
about the latest news in the womans
world, questions OF education, economics.
sociology, with their especial application
TO women: she would not have thought Of
turning to the woman's page
And a good many women have retained
this out-of date idea about a woman's
page. Yesterday when the editor OF The
woman's Herald was talking with the
chairman of the press committee Of the
Woman's National Democratic League
there was evidence of such feeling.
The chairman suggested that the story
about the opening of the convention to-
day would reach more OF the women it
would interest If it were placed on some
page besides tine woman's page. 1t was
clear to see that the chairman did not
think it was really a "wOman's page"
story. Woman's page stories in her opin-
ion contained champoo formulse, direc-
tions for mending stockings or fashion
gossip, never anything else.
All these things-cookery. clothes and
cosmetics, even-are of importance on a
woman's page. But so are women's po-
litical meetings. questions Of education,
sociology and philanthropy-all the ques-
tions that interest the women of today.
Perhaps the chairman of the press com
mittee Of the Woman's National Demo
cratic League was right in a way. Per
haps women do not look to the woman's
page for news about women's political
conventions. But it is in the hopes that
all the women readers of The Wash
ington Herald, will come TO regard The
Woman's Herald as their own particular
department if the editor had her way.

Mine" will be shown at a local theater

and a. II is a melodrama with plenty of
thrills, says Mrs. Mccormick, and was
written first of all to make a good story.
incidentally its story explains some rea-
sons why women want the vote. Its plot
is based upon the unjust laws concerning
women and children which exist In GER
tain States, the most spectacular of which
children away from his wife.

alton. and the suffrage societies in the

A Woman's Hand.

A Paris magazine recently published
an interesting article on women's hands
by Nine. Sjebinoff.
According to this authority, Chinese
women possess the most beautiful hands
in the world. Their fingers are narrow,
free from '-nots, as soft as velvet. yet
not flabby, but they keep the nails of
the left hand a little long. Israelites
have also fine hands, although the bones
are too tender, with the result that the
last joint has a tendency to turn out
ward.
Women of the harem have thick, soft
fingers like little sausages, and their
nails receive a ridiculous amount OF
work on them.
American women, by taking an i'm
mensity of pains, have fine hands in
appearance, but they are hard on con-
tact. The, back of their hands is
slightly reddened and the inner side
hardened by sports; some of them have
callosities due to working with their
hands.
German women have large hands, and
English women are not much better.
Russian and French women have small
hands, even too small, and why do they
load them with rings? Rings should only
be used TO hide defects.
Italian women also have small hands,
but do not keep them spotlessly clean,
Too often they apply them to their noses.
instead of using a handkerchief
The hands OF a Spanish woman have
a classic beauty, and their movements
are Incompatible. Such hands cannot be
described: they can only be admired.
When they manipulate a fan. or roll a
cigarette, when they raise a skirt or
arrange a mantilla 1t is always done
with infinite grace
A Spanish woman alone knows how
to use her hands as they truly should
be, used.

August Keller, a Swiss hotel man,
who has crossed the Atlantic fifty-seven
times, arrived at New York a few days

what Switzerland would do with the
thousands of tops of cheese that manu-
facturers have boarded in caves in the
Alps.
The Swiss army of 10000 has been
mobilized." he said. ''and each day
5000 pounds of cheese has been served
to the soldiers till now they curse the
cheese and refuse to eat it. They have
meat and dried vegetables and bread
also, but cheese is the big ration be-
cause no one buys it since the war be-
gan.
Milk has dropped from q cents to
is cents gallon because the farmers
cannot get sugar to use in condensing

FAMOUS
ENNAAN
= HER -.
3 BIRTHDAY
AND NOL12S
January Jeanne HAlbret, Princess
Charlotte.


Jeanne d'AIbret, sometimes called Joan
OF Navarro, was the daughter OF Henry
I and the wife of Philip lie Bel, both Kings
Of France. She was a liberal patroness
of learning, but she is remembered chief
ly for the fact that after the death OF
her husband she assumed command OF
her own army in opposing the Count de
Bar. She took her men to victory. cut
the counts army in pieces, and carried
the count as a captive to Paris
Princess Charlotte Augusta was born
in London January Z, 1875 She was the
only daughter OF King George Nv and
his wife Caroline Of Brunswick. 1t will
be remembered that George and his wife
separated soon after their marriage, and
for that reason the unfortunate Princess
Charlotte spent a childhood OF solitude
and in considerable disfavor with her
royal father. But in spite of her neg
lect she was a bright, intelligent, and
merry little girl, although, as her gov
erness said, pepper hot at times. She
had a slight impediment in speech, which
she almost entirely overcame in time.
Charlotte was first engaged to prince
Of the house Of Orange, but after a few
months she let 1t be known that. because
she might some day be called to be Queen
of England, she would not consent to go
to Holland to live. After a little dis
agreement On this subject her engage
ment was broken OF. and King George
" was so dlspleased that he at once
dismissed Charlotte's entire household
and ordered another, who were unfriend-
ly to her. The poor princess could not
even get enough spending money for her
own personal use.
But before long she was again engaged,
and this time 1t was to Leopold of SAKE
CObUrg. After her marriage Charlotte
spent the only happy days she had ever
really known, but unfortunately she
lived less than a year, for with che birth
OF her first child she died.
Although Princess Charlotte had never
received very kind treatment from any
one in England, her death was received
as public calamity of the gravesS sort.
She was in direct line to the throne. and
her son. had he lived. would have been
direct male heir. Long has been re-
membered the sorrow and gloom that set
tied down over England when 1t was
known that the princess and her baby
boy had both died.
