 Galatea The Mothers Standby.
 N It would be sad day for mothers if dependable galatea should have to be conserved like wool, for instance, and grow scarce and high priced. No other fabric seems more admirably suited to childhood's needs-when a sturdy play costume is in question. Linen, smart and fresh as it's texture undoubtedly is, cannot stand the wear and tear and frequent scrubbings that galatea can without showing thin places, and galatea seems to throw off Two nattv little play costumes in sail or style and made of tried and true 1 galatea are pictured.

the formal hairdressing is demanded by the small, neat head fashion now insists upon. A big head, though it may be a sure sign of intellectual powers, is very bad style from fash ions standpoint. The head must be small and dainty, with it's contours well defined, and the nipples of hair must cover and also outline the little head-or the head that appears to be little-With exquisite precision and neatness. Lucky indeed is the wom- an who has the naturally wavy, crisp ly alive hair-not too long but thick and soft on the head-which will achieve this effect prescribed by fash ion without any trouble to it's pos sessor. The days have gone by, says a current novelist, when woman could treat her hair as an enemy, dismissing it from her mind as speedily as pos sible and giving it the least attention compatible with neatness. Tender and devoted must be the attention be- slowed on the coiffure now, and tresses must be coaxed and persuaded by all sorts of wiles and arts to do their FC4y DSSlS
 Three hairdressings are pictured; i; one for the debutante, or young girl, one for the youthful matron or wom- an between twenty and thirty, and one for the woman over forty to whom dignity and elegance of presence are assets. All of these hairdressings have the same basic quality; they de- fine the shape of the head with soft ripping waves that do not stand out anywhere to break the smooth line; and all of them cover temple, fore head and ears. the cultures of the younger women hiding also part of | the cheek so that the hair will show well below the hat.
 And when the hair is dressed thus, close to the head, even when the close effect is broken by undulating waves. the quality of the hair itself is very important. Unless the locks are kept I very soft and fuffy-like child's hair-the effect of the regular undu- ilations will be hard and rigid. and

reason so many women look younger just after their hair has been washed.
 The hair, as has been said, must have its wave now, it's loose, soft un- duIations-never tight curls or crimps. Three big, soft waves between center parting and ear on each side are enough; more waves will suggest too tight a waving process. The waves may be made with kid curriers', soft rags, hairpin curlers or hot irons ac- cording to personal taste and after the hair is waved it may be gone over lightly with brilliantine to make it smooth and satiny, just the merest touch of the lotion being used, for the effect must be light and soft, not stiff or rigid. Very few women part the hair in the center now. The parting is little toward one side-perhaps only an inch off the center, or perhaps quite far to the side. as one finds most becoming.
 The young girls hair is parted de- cidedly toward one side and waves closely around her head, the ends be- ing rolled up and pinned loosely in what is called the "bobbed effect" If the hair is very long the ends at the back may be coiled closely below the crown of the head on line with the rolled up sides. The young ma irons hair is not parted though the arrangement of the front locks sug- gests a parting at one side. The long ends at the back are twisted up into an elongated knot vertical and pinned closely; and the waves at either side are rolled over this knot and the ends tucked in, the hair being brought well down at the back of the head. The older woman has a side parting and the hair tends upward instead of downward at the back-more becom- ing after youth is past. The ends are made into a French twist and some artificial puffs and curls are tucked against the crown.

braid. His collar is tied with knotted cord and a red chevron is embroidered on one sleeve-or rather appears to be embroidered on the fabric; these chevrons come all ready to be ap- or suits.
 Soldier Suits For Little Maids.
 There are gallant service suits for small girls, made of mixed worsted in a shade that approaches the regula- ton olive drab and supplied with pockets and other details that give the military tone. The little coats have a trig swagger and seem to fit the children's figure beneath without be- ing, in reality, tight-ftting anywhere and the button f1ap-pockets and belt would delight the heart of any small girl in wartime. With these "service'' suits are worn jaunty, elongated hats like the headgear of the British avia- tion units. The small girl does not don puttees with her uniform suit but wears ordinary tan shoes and stock ings. The smart soldier suits have been reproduced in tan khaki for sum. mer play wear and a pair of loose knee-bloomers accompanies each cos. tune.
 Passing Of Childish Petticoats. It is incredible to think of the hours that used to be spent by mothers tucking and trimming pettcoats fo1 little girls. A dozen at least were required for summer wardrobe strong cambric petticoats for play wear and exquisite, 1ace-trimmed pet

ticoats for wear under white after noon dresses. The modern little girl
 owns but two petticoats-maybe three
 if she has a very lavish wardrobe.
 These petticoats are dainty affairs for wear with white lingerie frocks, and
 there may be an extremely modern
 chiffon or satin petticoat for use with
 the dancing frock. But the play pet ticoat is an article unknown these days. Boomers are the thing, and
 much more sensible they are than the | tucked and embroidery trimmed pet ticoats which must have been a heavy
 burden to the family laundress. Every play frock, whatever its material, has now its matching boomers. Some | times waist and bloomer are in one the skirt buttoning on at the belt; sometimes the bloomer is attached to a muslin guimpe which goes under the sleeveless frock; and sometimes the bloomer Is a separate garment, the l frock being quite complete without it. 1 The very little girl wears her bloom CTS so that they show beneath her ab- breviated skirt in the quaint effect of pantalets. Older girls wear a little longer skirts, hiding the edge of the bloomer. The cunning little bloomer frock pictured is a pale pink mercer ] ized cotton fabric with surface and sheen like linen. The boomers match the frock. This dainty dress for wee girl is smocked at the front, the shocking having strap effect, across a pleated panel; but the p1eats have
 been pressed in with a hot iron after the shocking was done, the fullness being controlled in this fashion to give the fiat, panel effect which is modish now in grown-up costumes as well as juvenile ones. Otherwise the frock falls in loose. straight lines and has set-in sleeves with turned back cuffs that match a turned-down collar. The

 It was quite to be expected that military fashions would prevail in small boy land. The picturesqueness o6 the smart little soldier and sailor togs pleases the mothers and the wee faddie is warmed to the very cookies o6 his heart by trim suits that make him, he earnestly hopes, look exactly like a real fighting man on the way to the front. Two delightful spring costumes for small boyhood are pie tured; one a play suit of tan khaki with belted tunic and plenty of bright brass buttons; the other an astonish- Ingfy correct service suit of worsted in olive drab color, a most perfect htt1e "officer's uniform, puttees, wis oFed cap, leather Sam Browne belt and aii."
