On very little children designers
sometimes like To put clothes that
make them look like fascinating min
iatures OF their mothers. There Is "a
wonderful appeal in these little replI-
cas- of grown-up garments, something
droll and something that brings out
the sweet promise that makes little
girls so lovable. As the little lady
progresses into the fapDer stage this
mimicry of grown-ups Is abandoned
because she requires things made es-
pecially for her In her "pin-feather

HIS bed when he entered his room after
bidding his new actor friends good
night. He was staggered and some
what abashed by the appearance Of
Miss Thackeray. She was by no

the contrary, she confronted him in
the choicest raiment that her ward
robe contained, and she was bright and
CHEEKY and exceedingly incompetent.
1t was her costume that shocked him.
Not only was she attlred In a low
necked, rose-colored evening gown, lib
orally bespangled with tinsel, but she
wore a vast, top-heavy picture hat
whose crown of black was almost
wholly obscured by a gorgeous white
feather that once must have adorned

SERVICE STRIPES ARE
FOR UNIFORMS, NOT
"CIVIES," SAYS HARRIS

Many questions are asked about
wound stripes Here are some lead
ing ones:
If man is wounded twice by sepa-
rate bullets at the same time, does he
get one stripe or two?
What about the man hit in many
places by fragments of the same
shell?
If he is hit once, then starts back
and is hit again, is it one wound or
two?
If leg and arm are shot off stimuli
taneously, what about it?
These questions were taken to the
war department at Washington to a
clerk there who speciaizes in wound
stripes
The clerk looked over the list THAT
Is all covered" he said, in general
order 3d." and pointed to the follow
ing:
"A gold chevron of pattern identical
with that OF the war service chevron.
TO be worn on the lower half of the

cept fatigue coats, by each officer, field
clerk and enlisted man who has re-
ceiyed, or may hereafter receive, a
wound in action with the enemy, or as
the result OF an act OF the enemy
which necessitates treatment by a
medical officer. and an additional
chevron for each additional wound;
but not more than one chevron will
be worn for two or more wounds re-
ceiyed at the same time. Disable
ment by gas necessitating treatment
