 FOR CHILDREN

THE display of the new fan frocks
 for school childrens wear is at tracting much attention just now. One notices the clever way in which tbs predominating fashion features of season are introduced in these petite frocks, and this season, according to custom, they have adopted styles taken from the gowns and frocks of their older sisters. which make them very quaint and interesting.
 The full gathered or plaited skirts, tho semifitted bodice, short or lo&g waisted; the high. close collar and long sleeves. all are given place in the more or less modified forms in the clothes of the small girl.
 The fashionable materials used for developing women's gowns are also employed in making the replicaa tn- tended for the little folk.
 | One jaunty loose coat was made of plain blue serge, while the plaid ma terial formed the full plaited skirt The coat was made with a yoke. which was finished at the front with round shaped tab, which crossed over from the right side to the left and fastened with a single button. The lower part of the sleeves was also made with q Lhb Chdpo pubbohihBs hohohh6 sA" @A~N'~ closely to the wrist. The fronts of the coat rounded away toward the bot tom. showing a blouse of white piQue, The lower part of the coat at tbe fronts, had two small shaped inset pockets. There was a small turndown collar on the coat. over which fell a marrow collar of white piqua which Twas attached to the blouse. kN | Another smart little frock was made of shepherds plaid piped with green. lThe frock was made with suspenoer leffect, with two straps buttoned across Ithe shoulders to a little short waisted bodice. The skirt was made with marrow box plaits. FL
 Another charming little frock was made of invisible striped serge The long waist line was defined by a sash of navy blue silk. There were a collar land cuffs of plaited fine cream net. There was a full plaited bodice attach ed to a yoke, and the skirt was plait- ed, a box plait of the striped material, with the stripes running crosswise, ex- tending from the yoke to the hem of the skirt
 There are many interesting little three piece frocks made of plain blue serge having guimpes of plaid or lgtT1peO SIX or OI uueu lu Wulhe hnh1- ral tones or some pale tone.
 One little frock of blue serge had . guimpe and sleeves of linen in natural
 tones. The frock was made with loose jacket effect held in at the waist line by a belt of gobelin blue silk running through large eyeiets. The belt wal fastened at the front by small round buttons. The turndown linen collar and turnback cuffs of the linen guinpe were ornamented in a hand embroidery design in blue. the same tone as the belt. A4
 The coats for the small girl are va ried and interesting this year. Vel veteens, corduroys, cheviots. zibeline mixtures and chinchilla cloths are the materials most in evidence.
 One model of corduroy was made with a semiftted short waisted bodice To this short waisted bodice full skirt was attached. The collar and , cuffs were of gray astrakhan.

 Sunburn is often extremely painful. In many cases, where a girl has been out in the sun practically all day. the skin blisters and causes very real suf- fering. It is a wise girl who knows how to care for her own sunburn, for she will save herself a good bit of pain by doctoring it at once.

SOME few persons labor under the erroneous impression that the in stinct to dress well, to understand clothes as they can be understood, is a general attribute of feminine nature and that all women incline toward dress as ducks to water. On the con- trary, the women who thoroughly com prehend the niceties of dress and clothe themselves with the perfection that raises 1t to a fine art are few and far between. True, there are many women in these days who dress nicely, but not 10 very many who dress really we'll.
 Few American women understand dresa as does the Frenchwoman, for the reason that whereas most Frenchwom- en have the courage of their opinions and dress either in the extreme of fash ion or regardless of fashion. according to their idea of the particular style that suits them, the American woman is apt to compromise and dares to be neither entirely fashionable nor entirely orig final
 The art of dress. the comprehension of it's subtleties. is an instinct inborn or absolutely lacking.
