FASHIONS

Even the six-year-old is permitted to
have a coat dress. Whether this self
same frock is made of a winter-weighf
wool fabric. such as serge. broadcloth
or wool jersey cloth, or whether 1t is
a linen or Bingham affair. the young
woman is likely to have pronounced
fondness for the frock that slips on cas-
lily over her head and buttons so
simply in front that she can dress her
self from head to toe without help.
They're teaching even the kfddies
that life occasionally means duty dur
ing these busy wartime days, for II
is not at all an impossibility that
maids may find themselves called
upon to serve elsewhere than in the
home.
However, households may continue to
run as smoothly and happily as of yore;
but preparation for the possible is I'M
questionably being made.
The little frock sketched is as simple
as it can possibly be; but it is smart,

DAINTY . GARMENTS
FOR BoUDoIR WEAR

War may be making . difference in
women's clothes 80 far - thcae they
wear in the street are concerned Street
clothes are made with as little wool ~
possible-as the short. scant skirts In
dicate-and they have a stamp Of prac-
ticability that is doubtless due to the
war. Moreover. there are all sorts OF
working costumes that doubtless owe
their origin to the wartime conditions.
There is even talk Of possible bifurcat-
ed garments for women as an outcome
OF the overalls worn by woman WORKERS
In munitions factories and by woman
farmers and OF the very smart uniforms
worn by woman motor drivers.
But let woman enter tho portals OF
her own home-and her costume OF
biIfty and sensibIeness is shed with
amazing rapidity. In her boudoir she
wears clothes of the most delightful
fragileness and, even, foolishness.
To be sure, the bifurcated idea has
been adapted to boudoir clothes. but,
then, that is not very new adapea-
ton. For several years women nave
worn pajamas. and Turkish smoking
costumes were introduced by the French
designers before the world war began.
There are many lovely loungtng coz
tumes-ope can hardly call them loung-
ing robes-built on the line OF pajamas.
They are made, often, OF georGette,
often of satin and sometimes Of tho
two materials combined Sometimes
they are one-piece in cut and sometimes
two-piece.
An especially attractive ono Is made
of georTette. crepe. with wide bands
around the bottom of Jacket and sleeves
and around the bottom OF the trousers
of blue satin-the georgette is pink.
These satin bands extend from the bot
tom of the coat up each underarm seam
as far as the waist line and the two
sides are laced together with pink
ribbons There is. q little V-shaped
opening at the throat, too, that is loose
ly laced with the ribbons.
A most fascinating little boudoir cap
is made in Dutch fashion, with rows of
lace edging' sewed round and round in
big plastrons over the ears and with
tiny rosettes of ribbon ranged all
around the edge Of the brim. The whole
thing is made of net,
