linen garments all winter long, next

any of the woven. ribbed cotton
garments on the market. For
children, linen undergarments are par
ticularly good, since the material
wears and Jaunders so well. The
larger boy in the picture wears a
neatly shaped waist and drawer com
bination with a firmly stitched but
loose belt at the waistlne. The tiny
boy has a similar garment cut on more
babyish lines to suit a plump, babyish
figure. The little girls combination
is much like the boys, with some slight
difference in proportions. All these
excellent combinations go on and
come off in one piece and a few but
tons at the front effect the fastening.
Even a child of three or four years
can dress himself in no time at all
these days.
Most little folks now wear socks in
stead of long stockings; but tabs for

supporters are attached to the belt of
the combination. If the little girl
wears a petticoat, it will be fastened
to a sleeveless guimpe and will also
hang from the shoulder. Wristbands
are frowned upon now for children.
There is always danger of their being
too tight, since the child is constantly
growing and a busy mother cannot al

means sagging petticoats and an un-
tidy appearance. This difficulty l.

petticoat hangs from a sleeveless

dressed up for dancing school or a

little petticoat of hand-embroidered
null and lace, and an equally dainty
pantalon with ribbon run through q
casing and tied above the knee.

- CIENCE and hygiene have done
u wonderful things for the safe
~ guarding of little children; and
" not the least important of these
things is the improvement in clothing
Tor the child. The bodies of children
have become very precious--no longer
are small people allowed to "eat eV'
erything" and dress in miniature dup
licates of restricting grown-up gar
ments. Great attention is paid to food,
to bathing and to raiment for small
people and the health of childhood Is
much better than was the case gen
Grafton ago. One does not see so
many small headstones-so many
pathetic tiny graves these days,
Poems to little lost and gone saints
are far less frequent than they used
to be- The sickly child is the eXcep-
ton nowadays and is rather dis
grace to any parents, when child
specialists abound in every city; and
every "woman's magazine" publishes
columns of advice and help for young
mothers.
And the children of this twentieth
century are sturdy little beings, with
their bare, tanned legs, their splendid
ly nourished and not over-fed bodies
and their carefully planned and scien-
tifically shaped garments. one re-
members the distressing undies that
little girls wore-back in the eighties;
the frilly petticoats gathered to snug
Wristbands that were always just a
little too tight for expanding figures
and the shoes that were either too
soft and thin TO be safe in dew-wet
grass or too stout and stiff to be
comfortable on active little feet. Fur
ther back there were brass-toed boots
for small boys and little breeches held
up by suspenders-think of suspenders
on an active tumbling small boy!
And there were long. uncomfortable
pantalets for little girls who had to
walk staidly as befitted their femin-
ity and their lady-like attire.
Nowadays little boys and little girls
dress much alike. There are jolly
rompers for the girl in babyhood
years and later she dons bloomers
and knickers with MILDLY
blouse or slip-on jersey for camp
DAYS in summer time and for gym"
hours in winter. She has agreeable
play hats that stick on like boys

ball. and out-swims him in the gym
pool. The little girl has to dress IN
on occasions-but then. so does the
small boy. Her lace frock and pink
sash for dancing school are no more
formal or restraining TO a free spirit
han his best suit starched collar

and slippery pumps. Her curls are nc
more a deterrent to her comfort than
his carefully shampooed and brushed
locks. And no longer is that young
savage, the small boy. permitted to
make himself ready for any occasion
by sticking back his hair and making
sure his ears are washed! A whole
bath he must take every day, whether
the day marks a social event or not;
and modern childhood is rs accus-
toned to the morning and evening
toothbrush and the several times-a-
day manicure stick as to regularly re-
curing meals.
Every little girl now has her dainty
set of toilet belongings; her ind-
vidual jar of tooth powder. her special
soap, which nobody else touches; her
own towels and wash cloths Her
small brother has his belongings too;
and nobody is supposed to borrow an
others toilet things or articles of APP
parel. In this way children are
trained from the very beginning to de
sire and need the refnements of liv-
ing, to make good grooming fetish:
to accept care of the body as a mat

Compare the modern and excellent

shown in the picture, with the cum

used to wear. All these little garments
hang free from the shoulder. They
fit with a dainty trimness, yet the
proportions are carefully and sCien-
tifically planned for the growing, ac-
tive bodies. They are garments in
tended for summer wear and are
made of cool, thin linen-now con-
sidered the most luxurious material
for warm weather wear. During the
years of the war. when linen was i'm
possible to get for sartorial uses, peo-
pie took to wearing silk undergar-

silk "undies." But with the return of
linen to general use, underwear of

| She will get good wear out of them
all through September and October;
for tub frocks are worn now even on
cool fail days under warm coat.
School rooms are heated after Octo-
ber first and the modern child wears
summery frocks and rolled down
stockings far into the autumn. The
smartest little frocks now are of
linen, which has come to be such
fashionable material with its return
to sartorial uses since the wars end.
Every mother knows the practical
wearing qualities and the excellent
laundering qualities of linen and there
is crisp smartness about the little
dresses of this good fabric, with their
neat collars and cuffs of white pique,
linen or organdy. Madeira or eyeiet
embroidered linen collars and cuffs
are fashionable again and these are
particularly pretty with frocks of col
ored linen. Sage green seems a fav
ored shade for autumn school frockS.
Light brown linen with ecru collar
and cuffs is favored also. And there
are plenty of blue linen dresses for
little girls with blue eyes. a green
linen frock for o girl of eleven is pic
tured. The lines are simple and
straight, with several pleats from the
shoulder confined under loose. but

smart contrast and tho emblems on
