BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

E1HE women who are thinking OF
their own clothes for autumn
are in the minority this mid
September. Most of them say.
Later" impatient1y pushing aside the
subject of adult fashions. Later. Wait
until ] get the children fixed up for
school and then I'll listen to whether
skirts are two or ten yards wide and
hats one inch or one foot high"
This is the attitude of the mothers Of
the country. whether they are twenty
or fifty years old The stern urge of
necessity is behind this attitude Of
seeming indifference to what Paris will
send and what America will exploit in
the way of startling fashions for adults.
The thing that must be done is to pre-
pare the children for as many months
of school as the purse, the vitality and
the weather allow. Girls are going to
college, and boys. too. mind you, but
the purse is taxed more than the brain
in providing for the latter.
Little tots are going to the kinder
garten. girls of ten are starting in at
city schools: girls of fourteen are going
off to boarding school. Unlike the ar
rangement of Mother Goose, it is the
queen of the household who is counting
up the money. for today she has no
time for honey.
There are more households than ever
this season which have seen prosperity
and which are dividing up their money
between schools and colleges for chill
dren, new motor and Encouragement
of the house. Prosperity has hit US
hard, and the one place to find that out
is to hear the glad tales that ripple up
from the places where there are things
to sell
In these houses there is also the ques-
ton of how much is to be spent on the
children's clothes. and there is also the
stirring subject of children's fashions,
which are by no means stagnant and to
which the greatest French designers
have lent their whimsical talents for
the last six months.
In other households there is no
counting up the money in little piles or
in little sums on paper in order to
divide ii properly between clothes, mo-
tors and new houses. for there must be
sacrifice somewhere and often economi-
cal talent exploited in order that the
youngsters go to school fttingly
dressed.
Once upon a time there was a stern
conviction among the mothers of the
continent that no child should dare to
suggest how he or she was to be
dressed. That was sad epoch.
Today children have taught parents
to be wiser, children have a little
trick of doing, if the ears and hearts of
the parents are a little inclined toward
juvenile words of wisdom.
Out of the mouths of babes was once
biblical formula among grown-ups
and not conviction or a statement of
fact. The centuries have rolled over the
heads of women in this country who
worked out their own will in their chill
dren's clothes, accomplishments, ac-
quaintances and habits, and if the truth
were told there are thousands Of men
and women who having failed in most
of life's endeavors, can point back to
obedience and compulsion in their child
hood as the reason for their mishandled
lives.

travagant a plan to put into practice,
although it is good in theory. A little
experiment, however, will prove that
this really makes for economy There
are few adults who care to wear the
same gown throughout ten months of
the year. A woman may not want to
keep abreast of the fashions. but no
woman is guiltless of the desire to show
her public that she knows what they
are.
This feeling is far more potent in a
young girl than in grown-up. She
cares not for quality nor quantity. She
wants the last thing at the right mo-

that she will worry her mother into

take lessons and practice by the hour,
with rebellion against life and Its
laws that wrecked the temper.
Gone are the days when a child was
allowed to be made the butt Of ridicule
among its own kind because of the hor-
rendous clothes that were forced upon
its poor little body.
Linked to this awfulness was the trick
of naming a child according to some
whim, after some hero or heroine that
had pleased the fancy or some mXtho-
mixed up in ones inadequate learning.
The doctrine of efficiency and the
elimination of non-essentials that have
gripped hold of American life to pull
1t up out of the valley of futile strug-
giles and aimless endeavors have struck
a sharp blow to the parents in their
handling of children. 1t has caused
them to stop, look and listen. and, es-
pecially, to listen to the children them
selves.

velops toward her because he associates
her choice with the ridicule of his fell

mented life.

THE AUTO POPULATION GROWS
Motorcycles Not Selling as Fast as
In the Past

Tho Dickinson county residents
are still buying automobiles and
purchasing them when other busi-
ness is dull, for since the first of the
year 25 licenses have been applied
for at the county treasurer's office.
This makes a total of 1871 licenses
issues since July 1, 1915. A ratio of
one automobile for every sixteen
persons in the county, using the
population statistics given in the
agricultural report recently issued
by ]. C. Mohlers state secretary of
agriculture.
The motorcycle business seems to
be at standstill as the number of
applications has not increased since
the first impetus of issuing passed.
Aside from business purposes the
motorcycle is losing its prestige.
Most persons would rather spend
twice the amount a motorcycle
costs and buy an automobile which
more completely answers a double
purpose, that of a business and
pleasure car.
