KNIT YOUR BIT.

How to Make Three Useful Articles For
Sailors.
The word has gone forth that warm
sailor Is better than a cold one. This
is no sentimental catch phrase; II Is

sailor can work and fight with stead

efficiency, with higher courage, for
the effect OF warmth is TO stimulate.
Now, then, what can you, as a wo-
man, do about IL? You, a woman with
pair OF knitting needles, can keep at
least one sailor warm. And remember,
the sailor that you keep warm is going
to be a better defender OF your flag.

THE WoopPEcKER.

The woodpecker bores right through
the bark OF trees to get at the bugs
that otherwise might injure them. You
have often admired doubtless the gay
little crest Oh the woodpecker's beak.
He Is not only faithful worker. but a
handsome fellow.
There Is a story about the wood
pecker that may please you.
The first woodpecker, according TO
the fairy stories, had some gifts that
other woodpeckers seem to have lost.
For instance, he could talk with man.
He wished very much to be friendly
with the human race.
1t happened that near the home Of
the woodpecker there lived fierce
wizard. His castle was I'm the middle
OF big black swamp, and whenever
he walked abroad his breath poisoned
every one whom he CHANGED to meet
Many brave men went out to meet
the wizard, but no one was able to
fight against him. Whenever stran-
ger came along the wizard would blow
his poisoned breath and kill him.
One day a knight, very brave sol
der. began TO fight the wicked old wiz
ard. He shot once, he shot twice, but
still his arrows failed to do harm. The
wizard hooted and laughed at the
knights poor craftsmanship. The ar
rows glanced Off the wizards skin as II
it were steel.
At last the knight had only three ar
To- Il I'll.
dozen at the wizard. He was almost
ready to give up, which would have
meant his death, for the bad wizard
would then have certainly killed him.
Suddenly wee small voice called
down to the knight: His heart is too
hard to pierce. Shoot your arrows at
| his forehead"
The knight looked up, and, 10, 1t was
the friendly woodpecker who had spo-
ken.
After thanking the bird the knight
| fitted an arrow TO his bow and sent 1t
straight at the wizards head. 1t CASH
ed the flesh, and the blood began to
flow. A second time the knight shot,
and the arrow went still deeper At
| the third shot the wizard fell dead.
Then the knight called the little
woodpecker down from the tree. A
drop OF blood from the wizards fore
head fell upon his feathers-right on
| top of his head. 1t was magic blood.
and ever since all birds of his family
have had red head feathers.

Don't FraxxIe Baby.

There are cross babies and happy
babies, placid babies and nervous ba-
bies, ugly babies and smiling babies.
The only difference between a baby
with a mean disposition and the grown
up person with a mean disposition is
that the baby usually has a cause for
his meanness which may be remedied.
Although cross baby Is not always a
sick baby, something is certainly
wrong II baby cries much Of the
time. Now and then there may be a
baby that Is cross because It does not
receive too much attention. Nothing
makes a baby more peevish than to be
trotted around all day for the amuse-
ment of the family and part Of the
night for his own amusement. A baby
tires very easily and. like his older rel
atives. be Is usually cross when he n
tired.

Then came the great sweet pea boom.

Now there is a new star-the snap

CHILDISH MODES.
How to Gown the Little Girl In
the Summer Time.

Many of the style ideas for the elders
At into childish requirements very ef-
fectively. and modish materials and
colorings appeal to the maker Of chill
dren's clothes, although, of course,
many Of the loveliest stuffs are totally
inappropriate for young folk.
For the very small girls white is the
accepted thing. and perhaps there is
no great variety or novelty within the
necessarily circumscribed limitations.
but as soon as the little lady graduates
into colors her wardrobe begins to Of
fer more variety. II not greater dainti
ness.
There are mothers who dress their
daughters entirely In white even be-
yond the years Of babybood-whit
pique, white linen, white wool, white
lawn, batiste and mull-and the fad is
a pretty one, but impractical for any
whose purse Is not well filled.
Practical little dresses In serviceable
pique and linen are appearing In an al
most inexhaustible supply, and many
OF them attain certain dressy air, the
style being I'm their hue and fneness Of
their details, for simplicity is the
watchword here as elsewhere in the
sphere Of tasteful child clothing.
Many Of these frocks of linen or
pique are made on straight lines, hav-
ing a narrow belt Of the material or
patent leather, fitting the figure loosely
and placed ut low waist line. There
are also many frocks made on the one
piece Russian lines.
Semimilitary effects In embroidery
and buttons, such as have been used
for certain smart blouses designed for
grownups, are introduced with excel
lent effect down the fronts OF some lit
tie one piece. frocks In white piqus or
heavy white linen, and pretty jumpers
of linen or pique have front embroid-
cred panels.
The Elton jacket or bolero model is
always more Or less favorite idea
with designers OF children's garments,
and this spring there are many frocks
for the small girl as well as for older
folks made with Jaunty short bolero.
The little maid must have her barrel
pockets, like everybody else. An at
tractive fapper coat from Lanyin Is
made Of blue serge cloth, with over
collar and revers Of white faille NATL
nee silk, stitched In rows with blue
sewing silk matching the blue serge
cloth. The belt buttons at either side,
and below the buttons hang the huge
barrel pockets, which stand well out
from the coat and give smart bulging
line.
