ers These are children in the kim
dergarten stage and they are well
clothed in the simple and good-Iooking
things that are pictured here.
There is hardly a season which en-
ters lacking fight woolen coats in
black-and-white checks for girls and
misses. This one, for a little lady Of
four years or SO, is cut to flare and is
knee length. 1t has large patch pock-
cts, with pointed flaps, that support
handsome buttons, and a shawl collar
of the checked material. The buttons
are the special pride and glory of this
coat and three of them serve to fas-
ten 1t at the front. They are black
with ring of white, to match them to
the coat. The over collar and straight
cuffs of white pique which lend so
much snowy freshness to this smart
little coat are, Of course, detachable,
so that they may be kept clean, and
several sets of them take their turn
at service while their fellows go to
the tub.
The entire suit worn by the little
lad Is washable. The waist and pants
are designed with an eye to easy
aundering, made of strong cotton ma
terials and put together to last. In

Among the experimental styles which
have blossomed out for late summer
wear and that hope to survive In fash
ions for winter, there are afternoon and
evening frOcks that show much draping
Of material about the figure. And so
long as gowns or suits convey to US
that they clothe supple, youthful and
corsetless figure, they are sure Of at
tention. Not that figures are in reality
corsetless, or always youthful. But
these are the things that must be sug-
gested if the garment is to prove sue
cess. The task Of conveying the fash.
ionable outlines lies with the corset
maker and the dressmaker. who are
very much aided by the softness and
limpness of the fabrics used

centers In the management Of the fab

The Power Of An Ideal.

The artist who sees the angel in the
stone does not complain Of drudgery
as he clips away the marble which
hides the vision Of his dreams. The
lover who sees chance to serve the
one he loves, disdains to notice what
is hard and painful in the service. A
high ideal takes the drudgery out of
life, it robs the nettle of It's sting, II
makes hard stones soft to the feet.
