leather belts. are used on many of the
practical dresses. Pockets are noted
on practically all except the very dress
lest of frocks.
High, normal and long-waisted
models are equally popular. and per-
fectly straight dresses, loosely belted,
are also good.
The general outline or silhouette of
girls dresses does not change as rap
idly as I'm garments for the grown
up members of the family. Each sea-
son, however, introduces its own trim
ming novelties, and the needs of the
junior girl and her smaller sister
should be studied carefully.
Without philosophizing on the why
or wherefore of it, it may be truth
fully stated that the happiness of
child may be made or married by
clothes, and surely a child's happiness
is worth striving for, even in such
surface matters as dress.-Washing

ed off on the wrong side and
struck Mr.. Walkers front
wheel, completely smashing it
and the fender. The motor
cycle was also completely
smashed, but the fact that the
Lord takes care Of idiots and
babies, saved the life Of the
riders, there being two on the
machine. There seems to be
crying need for an official fool
killer. The motor cycling
fraternity seems a most promis-

worthy Of the careful attention they
received.
The sales continue today and tomor-

in a compact manner many Of the bar
gains. With the roads getting back to
normal shape. people on the r. F. D.

many stores are the discounts general
and on the entire stocks, that big bar
gains will hold up through the rest of
the week.
