LOOK TO FOURTH GENERATION
Writer Sees Little to Praise in the
First Three Generations OF
Modern Americans.

The North American child is too
often merely the by-product of mar
rage. 1t serves as an outlet for that
pride which it's parents cannot always
reasonably take in themselves. 1t is
petted, cajoled, pampered, overdressed
and underdisciplined, till there is
evolved strange pygmy for whom the
world soon grows banal, who is desti
tute of the petitionary appeal of child
hood and who surveys an already an
ticipated and thoroughly analysed flu
ture with the cold eyes Of unnatural
knowledge, Alan Sullivan writes in
Harper's Magazine for August. The
world is it's football. 1t is smart be-
yond description. But there is in the
forced garden of it's life no sheltered
bed where may bloom the flowers OF
graciousness or peace. OF such Will
be the new aristocracy, and it's tradi-.
lions will be Of grandfathers who. by
virtue Of that fine native American
longheadedness, delivered the goods
of their period and were promptly and
suitably rewarded. But there will be
few traditions Of cOurtliness, scant
reminders that noblesse oblige, and
but scattered memories of inherited re-
sponsibilities. The sempiternal dollar
WILL still dominate. One generation
was too busy collecting and the other
will be too busy spending. The sec
ond generation offers no promise and
the third but little. The fourth will
probably open a new and finer cycle.

A clever petticoct of taffeta, made to
wear with full frocks of sheer mate
rials, substitutes wide frill about the
hips for the hoop which is usually in
serted In q casing in the gown. 1t
has several points of advantage over
the hoop. The flare in the frill results
from the stiffness of the taffeta and is
supported by parallel corded tucks.
The tucks are run in at two-inch inter-
walls and a cord is run in the narrow
hem which extends about the bottom
and sides of the frill.
The petticoat is finished with shall
low scallops about the bottom, outlined
with narrow frills which are extended
into rosettes. It is shirred in at the
waistline to a bodice and fastens in
the back. The frill may be separate
and fastened on at the waistline with
snap fasteners, so that the petticoat
will serve for wear with other gowns
as we'll as those with a wide flare
about the hips. With frocls Of this
character the frill is more graceful
than the hoop and easier to manage. 1t
is acceptable to women who will not

especially effective with dancing
frOcks.
Taffeta is not the only silk used for
petticoats but is the best choice for
one of this particular kind. The Japa-
nese wash silks and crepe de chine
have steadily advanced in favor for
making under-garments. Aside from
the softness and luxury Of silk it is
the easiest of fabrics to launder. Like
many fine, sheer cottons the soft. thin
silks are far more durable than they
look. They are to be washed in luke
| warm water with white soap and
| ironed when about halfway dry, and
they emerge from the right kind OF

Minor Feature.

This trick of using facings that give
a dashing color note to the costuina
is becoming one Of the most simpcr'
tant minor features of modern clothes,
1t made it's first appearance on the
skirt, in the wide cascades of fabric
that rippled down the right side from
hip to hem; and after it was estab'
lished in this part Of the gown il
appeared here and there over the en'

The milliners recognize it as one OF
the most attractive ways to make q
