Solving of the Dress Problems for the Young Girl

T row to make a simple but distinc-
- tive street dress for young girl
Is frequently problem to mothers.
Young girls all want to look old. That
goes without saying. Great tact and
persuasion are frequently required to
keep them within the lines and colors
suitable to youth.
To look like some popular young mar
rted woman within her social horizon
Is the ambition OF many young girl
thrown on a Heterogeneous society with
out maturity OF Judgment to guide her.
That Is where mothers tact comes In
That Is also why mother should never
let 80 of her pride in her own appear
ance. II tho young girl knows that her
mother Is smart and well groomed she
Is much moro apt to have faith in
mothers Judgment.
We are treated to the sight of badly
dressed mothers and overdrcssed daugh-
ters too often. The mother either doesn't
know how to dress or doesn't care. and
the daughter is quick to take her cue
and decide for herself. Too often this
decision is Influenced by some older girl.
whose desire to shine makes her dress
beyond her years and with an extrava-
gance OF line and material out of all
proportion to her slender figure. Happy
is the girl who has faith in her mothers
choosing, and happy Is the mother who
has the judgment to choose properly for
her young daughter--her "slip of a girl"
There Is a charm that goes with
youth that IS independent even of
beauty. All wholesome, healthy girls
are lovely, even IL their beauty doesn't
measure up to the accepted standards of
loveliness. Every thought of dressing
should accent this quality and should
subjugate all else to the spirit of youth.
Bright colors are the heritage of
youth. although many young girls look

PAINT PROTECTION
AND IT'S ECONOMY.

The preservation of structural ma
terials, which may be obtained through
the application of paint, constitutes a
most vital means of furthering the con-
servatiOD Of our natural resources. 1t
is, moreover, the most economical
method Of sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep Of any cOmmu-
nifty.
A structure coated with sheets of In
dia rubber would not he as well protect
ed from decay as structure coated
with a good oil paint This is due to
the fact that a sheet Of rubber Is not
so durable or as waterproof as a thin
dried film of paint. The latter mate
rial when applied dries to continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles of metallic, wear resisting
pigments. A square foot OF such a
film upon a wooden surface costs less
than a penny, yet 1t will beautify and
prOtect a dollars worth of surface for
many years. This is low rate Of in
surance.
Dwellings, barns. outbuildings. sheds.
posts, fences, stock enclosures. wagons,
implements, windmills and other struc-
lures, whether of wood. iron or cement,
should be preserved, through the use
of paint, from rapid decay. High grade
paint may he used successfully for all
such purposes. Colored paints will be
found the most seviceable, the cOlOring
matter I'm the paint adding from tive
to three yeats to the'life of the coating.
