The little miss who is about to take
her initial step on the endless road of
knowledge must be fitted out with
plain and pretty frocks for school
wear. Most of these are to be had
ready made, in reliable materials and
at prices so low that it is hardly worth
while to make them at home. But
others in which simple handwork in
ornamental stitches is used for a
finish are comparatively high priced.
Here is one made of plain india
linen" This by the way, is an insult
able name for beautiful cotton fab
ric that needs no false colors for
smooth sailing.
The plain full skirt is modelled at
the top with mercerized crochet cot
ton and the edge of the frill about the
neck is finished with overcast stitches
set close together. This cotton is in
a color contrasting with the dress
and in this instance delft blue is used
on white. The top of the wide hem
is outlined with diagonal stitches set
close together and the edges of the
small bands about the sleeves are
done in the same way as the collar.
The greater number of dresses for
school wear are made of heavier cot
tons and linens in colors. The fad

How to Control Cockroach Pest

The cockroach, one Of the worst
pests of the housewife, can be success
fully controlled. Here is the remedy
given by George A. Dean, professor Of
entomology in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college, and used not only in
homes, but in many big -four mills in
Kansas.
Get large pan or deep jar, the
deeper the better, and place a foul,
damp dish rag in it. Set up sticks or
laths on an easy slant from the floor
to the pan or jar. 50 that there will
be no difficulty for the reaches to get
to the edge Of the jar. The reaches
will run up these laths or sticks and
be attracted to the damp dish rag with
in the jar. for they congreSate in such
places.
Place this trap in the pantry or
kitchen or wherever the reaches arc
found and leave it overnight, as the
reaches hide and are quiet during the
day and make Their oIious raids at
night. The first thing il the morning
poNr boiling water over the rag to kill
the reaches hiding in it. for they will
surely be there if they are in the
house.

The little miss, with the pretty curls,
looks well In the simplest of her
clothes, but she is adorable in her party
frocks. She is sweetly conscious of be-
ing "all dressed up" and is entirely sat-
fsfed with things as they are. This is
a state of mind most comfortable for
all concerned.
The little party frock pictured above
lis made Of such simple and inexpensive
materials that every small girl is en-
Titled to have her instinct for f1nery
hndulged. 1t requires nothing more ex-
travagant than albatross cloth in cream
white, little venetian lace in an all
over pattern and plain cream white net
for the sleeves. The albatross is a
light weight wool fabric in crepelike
weave which has the advantage of be-
ling washable. 1t comes in white and
all colors. Venetian lace is familiar
Jas pretty and serviceable sort which
lis just as washable as the plain net of
(which the sleeves are made.
In this dress the skirt is joined to a
plain short sleeveless waist. With its
lfullness disposed in a group of plaits
lat each side the skirt hangs in panel
lat the front and back. The short body
IFS supported by narrow straps over the
lshoulder and fastens with small but
lions and button holes in the back. The

The Children's
Pitch Basket.

Select a number of small fruit bas-
kets all Of the same size and have
box Of checkers handy. Suppose you
have five baskets; on the bottom Of
one mark 20, on another Is, on two 5
and on the other 0. Place the baskets
In row on the floor.
Choose sides, giving the black check
ers to the leader on one side and the
red checkers to the other side.
One side lines up about ten feet away
from the baskets, the leader giving
each player checker. If any are
left he keeps them and has the right
to throw them. Each one in turn
throws his checker into any basket
trusting to luck that 1t falls into n
basket with number on it. When
all have played, the leader Of that side
turns up each basket to see it's number
and counts the number of checkers
thrown into it. If there We're two in
basket 20 1t would count 40; if three
In No. 8 it would be Is, and those I'm
basket 0 count nothing. Thus the score
Tor that side would be 55. The players
on the other side then line up and plav
as the first did.
The order of the baskets must he
changed occasionally, so that no one
knows which is which. The game con.
tinues until certain number-3OO or
SOFAS previously agreed upon, has
been reached. The side first scoring
that number Of points is victorious.
