LATEST FASHION NOTES

NHRfSTMAS is 50 essentially the
children's season that children's
parties and in natural conse-
quence, children's party costumes must
be Of especial interest. This year there
will be the usual number Of entertain
ments and perhaps a few more than
common, for we are beginning to feel
the return Of prosperity and there is a
general tendency to spend and rejoice
that must make itself manifest in such
matters as in other ways.
There never has been a time when
children's dress was more beautiful or
more attractive and there is a pic
turesque note to be found even in the
boys suits. Perhaps the loveliest ma
terials are used for the making of
the girls dresses and there is a very
wise tendency toward avoiding any
thing like over elaboration. The best
makers show the simplest models and
the most fashionable mothers buy
them. Fine material, dainty work,
hand embroidery and hand sewing are
what give choice results. Nothing that
is snowy OF over elaborate is desirable
or is fashionable. There are a great
many materials that are used, but fine
white muslin, crepe de chine, georgette
crepe and cotton voile OF fine quality
may safely be said TO take the first
places Smoking is being extensively
used this season and it is especially
charming when applied to children's
party frocks. while all sorts of hand
embroidery and fancy stitchery and
various kinds of needle work are EN-
ployed. In a general way children's
fashions always follow the trend OF
their elders. consequently this season
full skirts and hounced skirts are con-
spicuous. Ruffies and ruchings of the
material are being much used. For
the very little children white is always
to be preferred to any color, but there
is a very notable tendency toward
making the dresses Of transparent ma
tcrial and without any lining to be
worn over colored slips, and a white
frock over a pale pink or pale blue
gives a very charming result.
A pretty little model is exploited by
one of our best dealers for the little
one Of four and two years is made with
a square yoke and short sleeves and
round neck. As the writer saw it,
the material was white crepe de chine

and above the hem on the skirt. the
hem on the sleeves and the edges Of
the neck was a little vine of fine en-
broidery. At the waist-line the full
ness was all smoked to give a girdle
effect and the little slip could be worn
over white or over q color as the occa-
sion required.
A charming model for the girl Of
twelve, shows the full bodice that is
such a pronounced favorite for the
grown-ups this season. 1t consists
Of a straight gathered skirt which
also is much exploited in gowns for
the grown folk. with the yoke Of the
guimpe full, soft and shirred and the
soft full sleeves three-quarter length.
II is TO be found in variety Of ma
terials but perhaps the prettiest one
shown is made with the skirt and
bodice Of georgette crepe in a soft
creamy white, while the sleeveless over
bodice is OF rose pink taffeta. The
over bodice is full pretty one, yet per-
fectly simple and child-like, cut with
a low round neck and the shoulder
edges are tapped and held in position
with buttons. II extends little over
the skirt below the waist line where
openings are cut through which the
sash is passed. II would be very
pretty in crepe and it would be equally
lovely in fine white voile with a
taffeta over-bodice, OF the overrbodice
Of charmeuse or any preferred ma
terial so long as it makes a good con-
trast. The straight skirt can be made
OF houncing too and houncing always
is pretty and always attractive II well
chosen. Among the attractive output
is to be found white voile with an EN-
broidered border, and there are some
Of the fine embroidered muslins that
are really exquisite, and since fine
muslin always makes a dainty dress
and is always correct that fact is worth
remembering. Flouncing for the skirt
with sheer fine material to match for
the under bodice and taffeta for the
over-bodice makes a charming little
dress and one which can be copied by
any mother who can sew a straight
seam. The French who are past
masters in the art of designing chill
dren S dresses always insist upon fine
material and fine work. Some Of the
daintiest and most costly frocks shown
by the leading designers are entirely

hand made, yet absolutely simple in
cut and in treatment. Frocks Of GER
tain styles really demand lining, with
out it the full bodice cannot be kept
perfectly in place. The best makers
are using white cotton net for this
lining and really adds to the effect
Of thin material used over it.
A very charming little dress for the
girl of eight or twelve years is made
with fiounced skirt, full bodice and
with an oddly shaped pointed yoke
which is distinctive and individual.
The material is fine white voile, which,
after all, is as pretty as anything that
could be found, always essentially
dainty, and il is made over a white
net foundation. One gathered hounce
is joined to the lower edge Of the deep
net yoke and the second is arranged
over It. The over-bodiee blouses a
little at the waist-line and shows the
short pulled sleeves. while the pointed
yoke is dainty embroidered and edges
with a frill Of fine lace. 1t forms a
V-shape at the neck and the little
frill is repeated as a finish for the neck
edge, The founces are hemstitched
and a pretty ribbon sash gives the
party touch.
Both round and low necks are TO be
found in the Christmas dresses. A
fascinating little one that is to be
worn at a Christmas Eve dance by
young miss of eight years is made OF
pale pink georgette crepe over white
net lining. 1t is a very smart model
and at the same time a simple one.
By some deft arrangement Of the ma
terial, the full baby bodice and front
Of the skirt are cut together so there
is a panel effect. At the sides and
back the full skirt and full blouse are
Joined and stayed by a little belt, and
the joinings in place of being plain
seams are done by hand with hand
sewed shirrings that are very charm
ing. A pretty dainty little ruftie of lace
is used around the neck and rufties also
finish the sleeves. Almost as matter
Of course, the lace is valenciennes
for that lace seems TO belong to the
children by a natural right. 1t is

effect and it suits their needs perfectly
well. With the addition Of a little

call a creation, without undue effort
and with a certainty Of success.

results in a costume is handsome
beyond dispute. Black velvet and
brown velvet and dark blue velvet arc
Of course correct, and for boys OF
eight and ten are much used. The
white is more child-like and prettier
for the little ones and a great many
mothers prefer it up to the age OF
eight or ten. The velvet suits are
made both in tuxedo and in Eton
styles, and they are frequently worn
with little blouses beneath. and since
there is marked tendency toward the
relief Of over severity in the evening
costumes OF the grown men, it can be
extended to the realm Of the little
folk without detracting from dignity
or from the essentially masculine
effect. With black velvet costume
black silk stockings and patent leather
pumps make the correct aecompani-
ment. With white suits, white silk
stockings and either black or white
pomps are correct.

be interested in this design. The
blouse is a very new one with a
faring collar cut in one with the yoke
suggesting the morning glory effect
which is so especially well adapted TO
young faces. The skirt is in two pieces
belowthe yoke but at the frontand back
isarranged box plait. Here the yoke
is Of the same material, and for the
skirt to be worn with the odd waist
that makes the best possible treatment,
but a pretty costume can be made
by using one material for the lower
part Of the skirt and another for the
yoke and blouse, as taffeta with
serge, or a plaid material with a plain
or a plain material above plaid. The
blouse is very attractive showing new
features in the shirrings as well as in
the collar and appropriately can be
made in any material that can be
shirred successfully The skirt makes
an excellent model both for the street
and also for the indoor frock. Ii is
one of the newest and snartest shown
and both designs can be relied upon
as correct for the coming season as
well as for the present one.

didacy. Wisconsin voters already are
resenting this invasion, declaring that
they welcome the coming of outside
speakers in support of the national
ticket, but feel able to choose their
own United States senators. Another
point that is being made is that of the
men who are reported to be coming
most have been recently discredited in
their own states, including Senator
Bristow of Kansas and Senator Clapp
of Minnesota.
It is pointed out by republicans that
if Mr.. Jeffris is elected he will vote
with Hughes and the republican major
ity, but that if Mr.. LaFollette is again
chosen to represent the state in the
United States senate he will vote, as
he always has done, with the demo-
cratic minority which is bound to ac-
company the election of Hughes.
It looks very much like the close of
the political career Of Senator LaFol-
lette, always a stormy one, is near at
hand.

JUDGE ANDERSON of Manitowoc
writes that McGovern's political stock
in trade seems to be personal abuse of
Gov. Phillip for not reducing state
taxes and expenditures to 3 greater ex-
tent. But Gov. Philip has done some
thing. He has reduced taxes Not all
he desired, but all he could in the face
of factious opposition. He has also
stopped absolutely the progressive in
crease of taxation amounting to over 10
per cent over each previous levy. Nc
Govern is "still harping' on that old
theory of lever increasing eXpendi-
ture" evolved by his tax expert hum
bug, Prof. Adams, and adopted by him
during the canvass of 1914. Why has
Gov Philip not accomplished more?
The people do not forget how he has
been hampered by that worse than
foolish system Of continuing appro-
priations" whereby moneys are appro-
priated years in advance. The people
have not forgotten how the last legis-
lature at the instigation of the LaFol-
lette and McGovern following refused
to pass measures of economy urged by
Gov. Phillip and even attempted to in
crease the amount asked for the insti-
buttons of the state by 100000 more
than was necessary, against the pro-
test of the president of the board OF
control and the governor.

CANDIDATE HATToN wants to

CANDIDATE HATTON wants to shape
legislation so that the tillers of the
farms will become their owners.
1t is very queer that Hatton did not
think of this When he was in the
legislature voting to increase the taxes
on the farms and homes. Before the
progressives came into existence in the
state the tax on $50 acres of land was
from $50 to SITS; after they were in
power for approximately Ii years con-
tinuously, the taxes on the same farms
rose to $3.50 to 5000. 1t takes several
good sized pigs to make up the raise,
as Hatton will admit if it is put up to
him, and if our progressive joy riders
had not been headed off in their tax
squandering rampage, it would soon
take the whole farm or home to pay
the tax. What is true of the taxes on
the farm prior to the advent of pro-
gressiveism, is equally true of taxes on
the home. The taxes on the laborer' S
cottage went up during the same per-
iod approximately $50 per cent. If ex-
perience with progressiveism is good
for anything it ought to teach tenants
that one of the last things they want
in public service is a progressive ad-
ministration. -Madisonian.
