in fashion and the constant pressure
Of individual and capricious opinion.
Nothing was permitted to remain in
solid state. Fashions were fluid,
flowing this way and then that.
The chance Of successful caprice
was so great and good that designers
Of rare merit and international fame
essayed the building Of Juvenile
clothes and found the field productive
of actual wealth. And it is to these
designers that we owe the present
danger.
This danger is that common sense
and acquired wisdom. achieved with
great effort through the last two

grasp. The clothing of tiniest dimen-
sions and absence of all ornamental

lent desire that is handed down
through centuries Of children for the
pilfering of adult clothes, to place
them in glee on their own bodies. Is
natures clearest proof Of 1t.
But 1t would be a terrible mistake
to indulge designers and children. in
this kind of upheaval. If there ever

We who are older must lean to that
expression Of our acknowledgment
that the times are drastic and heavy
laden with anxiety. and it might be
well to suppress any too active effort
to change the juvenile clothes of the
twentieth century backward to those
of the ornate and frivolous eighteenth
century.
Does your particular memory go
back to the days when to dress a boy
child as a Highlander was to prove
yourself in the fashion? The swagger
of the Gordons was not even omitted
from the clothes for small girls.
Scotch bonnets were as common
among children as they are now
among men.
Whether or not 1t 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 hell'' have made the
costume the cause of wild admiration
of every half-grown boy on two con-

on the style OF the frock entirely. In
general. perhaps the very little girl
wears her skirts as short as ever.
Whether this Is phase of conserva-

the little girls themselves had some
thing to do with the continuation in
fashion of the short skirt, for they
really are infinitely more comfortable,

There Is as much ebb and flow in the

the current.
Patterns cannot be handed down
from one child's wardrobe to an
other. What was worn last season Is
usually out of the picture by the time
the new season begins.
Things were not always according
to this schedule of variation. For
centuries children were dressed alike.
