Two Mothers Found Ways
to Satisfy the Cravings Of
Their Daughters for Pref

With the Laundress.
BY THE SHOPPER.

Q T'S easy enough to dress n boy.
Bless his heart-all he needs Is
blouse ana pair of brief trou-
sers and he is ready for any So
cial emergency.
But a girl is different. Even In her
toddling years she draws a sharp
distinction between the garments
she dons for play and those In
which she presents o stiffy starched
air OF conscious virtue at p. m.
For that reason. the summer
clothes for small daughters are
often a matter of real concern. More
frequently does II become a serious
problem, because the starched ef-
feet of snowy cleanliness seldom
lasts more than thirty minutes.
That's Just where many helpless
parent feels that she Is battling fee
bly, between Scylla and Charybdis.
Young daughter will protest loudly
II she cannot dress up every
afternoon. The laundress Is likely
to raise cries equally soulful when
presented each week with seven
grimy dresses to be restored to their
original snowy stiffness.
There are few mothers who have
been able to hoodwink their daugh-
ters into wearing dresses OF crepe
and other fabrics that do very
we'll without ironing. No young
woman who wishes to maintain her
prestige In the neighborhood would
think of allowing such a thing. how
ever. The wearing OF starched
frock In the afternoon Is as much
a badge of aristocracy a. line In

Mother finds that there Is one
other within dear to the feminine
heart. This is the desire for skirts
that swirl and switch. There, are,
no doubt. a number Of embittered
women In the world today who
contented had they been allowed the
possession OF an accordion pleated
skirt in their younger years.
Those who. in childhood's hour.
have seen a more fortunate play
mate spin and spin before their very
eyes in a skirt of voluminous width;
spin, In fact, until the skirt stood
can understand and sympathize with
this longing for a skirt with plenty
Of fulness.
Now this fulness. every mother
knows. must be attained In one Of
two ways. by gathers or pleats.
Pleats! Again the question of the
laundress-but pleats there must be
or daughters heart will be broken.
It may be seen. then. that poor
baffled mother knows not which way
to turn to achieve domestic peace.
Her only hope Is in color. There Is,
to be sure. a certain patrician quail
ity to a dress of white. but cannot q
colored frock be made equally dis
tinctive?

AND shes fringe on her dainty gown,
Her curling lashes fringe her eyes
And she lives on the fringe Of town.
NEW YORK. July Alto be on the
fringe Of society is the last thing one
could wish. but to have on the fringe
OF fashion is the latest thing one could
wish.
Indeed. 1t seems as II fringe were in
fringing on the popularity Of all othor
trlmmings.
The fringed frock is omnipresent and
boasts anything from tiny edging Of
vivid hued yarn fringe to deep fringe
of silk. either black or of a tone to
match or contrast with the gown.
1t is used effectively on the bottoms
OF the wide skirts and to edge the bell
shaped sleeves.
One stunning evening model shows an
entire overskirt Of knotted sink fringe
OF yellow. black. blue. green and old
rose over a petticoat OF turquoise blue
chiffon. The sleeves are mere shreds OF
fringe and the apology for n bodice is
a scrap Of the turquoise chiffon.
The new wide cane collars are edged
with narrow. colorf,il fringe: hats have
a narrow yarn fringe edginx. and even
glimpsed swagger damsel who wiped
her up-tilted. up-to-date nose on n
handkerchief Of pale mauve with a
tiny old blue edging Of thread fringe.
On the loose long taffeta coats and
wraps. either for day or evening wear.
the fringe Is vieing with the plnked
ruchings as a finish. but II is as finish
for a parasol. perhaps. that fringe
reaches Its highest point.
One smart sunshade Of emerald green
taffeta Is built on the nat. many-ribbed
Chinese parasol lines with a blunt little
snubnose ebony ferule and a long knob
black.
A bright green silk cord is knotted
through which It's owners fair arm Is
meant to stick when she shuts IN her
sunshade In shady byways and chooses
to dangle II at arms length.
The real finishing touch OF this ade-
quately lovely parasol. however. Is an
edging OF three-inch black silk fringe
that brooks no infringement Of the
suns RAYS across the summer girl's
countenance.
A zebraesaue sunshade is one of
black and white striped taffeta. The
stripes radiate outward from the center
and end In n fringe OF alternate black
and white stripping to match the silk.
black knob at the top.
A cerise parasol fringed like the
black and green one is also very stun
ming. though a bit prone to cast a too
rosy glow over healthy countenance.
No one may expect to look pale and
interesting under cover Of a cerise sun
shade.
A shell-pink taffeta sun shade that Is
! n mass OF petal-shaped scallops like a
huge pink rose just adds the pink OF
perfection to n summer toilette OF white
net and pink picot ribbon. but a shade
deeper 1t Is wiser not to go.

grandmother's that now molders In the
attic and proves the aphorism that
there's nothing new under the son-not
even a 1915 parasol.

blocked by a crowd that gathered out
side a burning country hotel. He
,otned in the rescue work, and saved
from the FIRE a woman and her eid-
erly husband.
In that dim light he could not SEQ
the faces of the couple, but as he hur-
ried on he paused long enough to
grant the old mans request for one OF
his cards.
Six years later Lismore was in sore
financial straits. Unless he couid

the business he had built up would
collapse and he would be bankrupt.
Times were hard. His collaterais
were Of shaky value. and no one
would lend him the money to tide MIN
ever the crisis.
Al this climax an elderly woman
called on him. She introduced herseif
as Mrs. Mary Calender. the woman
he had rescued from the fire. Her

an art gallery he had met young and

Lismore took her at her word. Next

sneering insults at the old woman who
