Cold mullins are looked on with de-

W0MAN'S VIEWPOINT

The attractive little frock shown in
the sketch is designed for wear by a
girl from six to ten years, and as
originally planned navy serge and
, Scotch plaid taffeta were the fabrics
chosen. The dress is distinguished by
its simplicity. and. as is the case with
many of the early fall models shown,
washa BILE material may be selected If
desired, and the dress made one for
imm ediate use.
In the showing of fall apparel for
Juveniles there is noticeable tend
ency to abandon frills and furbelows
in favor of long and compa ratively un-
broken lines. These are in keeping
with the heavier fabrics of the season

Motor Suits of Alpaca.

1t would seem that the French IN

are planning extensive motor trips be-

favorably upon this material and or

One need only turn leaf in the book
of fashions to be convinced that this
material has no equal in its manner OF
triumphing over dust and dirt Serge
Is not in it's class in this respect, and
silk. which absorbs perspiration and
cracks, is not to be considered.
There is no doubt that the next six
weeks are to see the greatest excess of
motoring in this country that has ever
been since the car without horse"
was invented. 1t has been a delightful
season in this country. full Of good
weather. brilliant clothes, gay parties
and the means for luxurious transpor-

he didn't worry about that.

Buster Bear had not gone far before
he found this out. 1t had seemed sim
pie enough when he started, but In q
little while he wasn't at all sure that
he was on the line Busy Bee had taken.
He had found no hollow tree. although
he had looked sharply at every tree he
had passed. Still he plodded on and
still he studied the trees. But there
was no sign of Busy Bee or her store
house. Finally Buster sat down to
think things over. Should he keep on
or should he go back to the place he
had started from?
