The New Barrel Coat
Children often inherit discarded fash

against the latter, as Penrod did when
he, was asked to appear in a pageant
in his fathers underwear, they accept
the former with an enthusiasm that IS
not accorded the fashion by the grown'

II is difficult to find a new coat for a
small child. One might spread that
statement over the whole question OF
clothes for youngsters, for the time has
gone by when hygienic and conyen-
tlonal garments were considered the
rule and the law. Mothers have again
decided to dress their children accord
ing to fashion or, rather, according TO
changing fashion, which is going back
to an old and not agreeable condition.
One can turn a childs figure into an
atrocity and a chiId's life into a failure
by putting upon the little figure a va
ricty Of queer and ugly clothes that
should never have been invented.

A communication from the national

asking it to join in a campaign to

the important operations Of the gov
eminent in the war so that all may
understand in advance the necessity
for various actions taken by the gov

proposition will be taken up by the

but is as patriotic and much more eff
fective than the medieval system OF
volunteering, that labor must be re-

administration will necessarily be re-

that there is q false and a proper ma

cooperation of women IS absolutely

factor in the great war" it says, and

since the greatest obstacle to speed
is the misunderstanding of its gravity
by the people, it seems imperative
that a systematic campaign of eGuca-

people as to what threatens them, as
to what obligations rest upon them
now and henceforth every day until
the war is won
