TURN TO THE F[RILsE4ED EPOCH

, this fabric was found to be well adapted to produce the rather "slinky' silhouette that is characteristic of some of the most attractive of French childrens dresses. little girls empire dress, recently de- signed by dressmaker in Paris, showed rather long but meager skirt of white voile trimmed only by three wide tucks The short puffed sleeves were also of voile. while the short -waisted bodice was of rose-colored linen. The hat made to go with this was decidedly poke in shape, with white straw rim and a rose col ored crown of linen. A narrow black velvet ribbon banding the hat tied it under the chin and extended in long and quaint strings almost to the hem of the frock. Obviously not costume for the little girl to romp and play in, but one in which she would make an adorable flower girl for summer wedding.
 COTTON VOILE
 IN FAVOR
 Cotton voile then, is one of the new fabrics for children, and sometimes this is plain, and sometimes striped, and sometimes checked. Silk jersey also finds it's way into many of the attractive little girl frocks, and so does organdy when the effect to be gained is one of crisp summer freshness. Silks are found in great y~riety-in fact even very little girls are often permitted to wear bright colored taffetas and lowered silks that we would have regarded as impossible a decade ago.
 There are many serviceable frocks of linen of heavy weave. For some reason, some of the smart children's outfitters have put out an unusual number of linen frocks in yellow and lavender; perhaps because these colors are off the beaten track of children's equipment. We must all have grown little weary of the in cessant pink and blue conventionally se- lected for little girls few years and more ago. It does seem little odd to put lavender on 8 2-year-old, doesn't it?-and yet one of the most charming frocks recently shown by children 5 dressmaker of note was of white voile, with collar and cuffs of violet organdy finished with loose, coarse, button holing.

child as Highlander was to prove
 yourself in the fashion? The swagger 1 of the Gordons was not even omitted from the clothes for small girls. Scotch l bonnets were as common among chil- dren as they are now among men. Whether or not it brought the pas- sionate and rebellious shame of Pen | rod, plaid kits were placed on boys whose faces burned with indignation at the thought of wearing skirts and showing their knees Rakish bonnets with a gay feather were perched over scowling brows. and only the Lord Fauntleroys of life were pleased with themselves. And now, when the "Ladies from HalP' have made the cos tune the cause of wild admiration of every half-grown boy on two conti- nents, the designers will not reinstate it. nor will chastened mothers request their boys to wear it. So that in itself is good evidence that we have wisely and. let us say. forever gotten over the desire for the foolishly pictorial in juvenile clothes
 But it Is not possible for the war to leave all forms of dressing free from its sinister influence.
 It touches the clothes for the youn o- in gentle way. and the way is not objectionable. Middle youth, as it is expressed at IT and younger, finds the avion of France and Italy the most picturesque fields from which to draw fashion here and there.
 The oblong cap, the flowing cape with one end draped over the shoulder are neat and attractive fashions to use up for the summer season. An illu- sive kind of Sam Brown belt is be- coming bit common. but it too finds sn abiding place on the coat of a slim little suit.
 Now. however. that such big ma- jority of young women find that pub lie opinion permits them to wear brooches, cap and coat for war relief work. they are less apt to use up the military ideas in the more feminine costumes.
 In children's clothes there is little of the war that can be adopted, but the plaid sashes from Scotland and Naples and Rome. the short black coats, the multiple pockets, are evil dences that war has thrown its shadow downward to the cradle.

TOO EARLY FOR
ARMY TRAINING
TOBE UNIVERSAL
Opposition Based on Fear of
Crippling Raising Many
Troops on Short Notice

Washington, June 29.-While Sc
rious consideration will be given by
the administration in the framing of
legislation relative to an increase CT
the military forces of the country.
to suggestions for universal military
training. high officials of the admin
istration decline to commit them
selves on this subject further than
to say that the most practical and
feasible plan for increasing those
forces will be adopted and submitted
to Congress at a later date. 1t can
be stated without hesitation that the
administration is not on record as
being opposed to universal military
training in principle, but it has op-
posed it since the country went to
war as an interference with the nee
essity of raising large numbers of
troops on short notice. Apparently
the disposition to-day is to consider
the subject from the standpoint Of
its effect n American industry at this
time when much of the avalla BILE
manpower has already been sum-
moned to the colors.
