For the Children.

For play time nothing can ever take
the place of rompers. These can be
as attractive as one wishes them to be.
They should. however. be made of
some color that does not show the

kle Gingham is always good. A big
check is effective and does not show
soil easily. Use a dark, plain mate
.rial for trimming bands. at belt, for a
collar, cuffs and at the knees.
For the very small boy, the one un-
der five or six years, wash suits are
always best. Those of pure white or
pink or blue are quite suitable for aft
ernoon wear, but they become soiled
SO Quickly that they are quite inappro-
pirate for morning wear. One of tan
or a stripe of tan and white. red and
white. blue and white or blue and tan
is much wiser choice for morning
than the all-white sort. Galatea Is a
good material to choose.
For afternoon, however, a suit of blue
or pink poplin with collar. cuffs and
belt of white and tie of black Is very
attractive, especially if white stock
iugs and black patent leather pumps
be worn.
For the ut-of-doors there are many
pretty things to wear, but for very
cold weather nothing is more wearable
than a knitted sweater coat. cap and
tights or leggings that fasten around
the waist.

DRESSING THE SALAD.

The dressing is the making of a sal
gin with. of course, there must be
crisp, fresh greens. Then there must
be delicious dressing.
French dressing is best made in this
way; beat a teaspoonful of salt with
six tablespoonfuls of olive oil until
thick. Then slowly beat in two table
spoonfuls of vinegar. add red pepper
and pour over the salad.
iSardine dressing for crisp lettuce is
delicious. Here is the recipe: Skin
and bone two Sardines and add the
powdered yolk of two hard boiled eggs.
Rub to smooth paste. Add tea
spoonful of sugar, one of dry mustard,
half teaspoonful of olive oil, table
spoonful of tarragon vinegar, half a
teaspoonful of cream and salt and pep

a creamy consistency.
Golden salad dressing is good with
fruit salads. Beat two eggs slightly,

There is something about short

rumors in the air that June may bring
about a Jacket that does not partake
of the main characteristics of either of
these coats, but which is borrowed
from the days of 1910.
There is no tendency whatever to
have coats go in at the waist unless
loose belt is used and the short line
is kept as a straight line. Probably
you can remember the square little
sack coats that the women of 1860
wore. Most of them were made of
ribbed silk, thin taffeta or poplin. All
