The advent of Lent finds mothers
dcvoting their time to spring Quitting
for the children in addition to their
own. which is a more difficult matter.
But the quiet of Lent allows time to
consider things. Spring has already
been heralded, for weeks, in the shop,
by displays of chlldren's frocks made
of wash fabrics, for school and other
wear. Nothing startlingly new in fab
les has distracted attention from our
Old-time favorites for children's wear,
but the season is distinguished by the
unexcelled excellence in design of the
new garments for the younger genera
ton and by attractive and refined col
orings in the materials used for max
ing them.
Plaid and plain ginghams and cham
brays still lead in the practical pro-
cesslon of cotton goods. followed by
percales, poplins and other heavy
weaves. 1t Is satisfaction to be told

There are negligees and negligees;
faits of chiffon or crepe and lace, that
float about the figure in lovely color
tints. Many are made of thin silks or
crepe de chine, others of sheer cottons.
But the story of the variety of fabrics
used is short when compared to the
story of variety in design. We can
spend our hours of ease III clothes from
far japan or China or India. or in
garments adapted from these oriental
sources. Or we can look to various
periods in French or other history for
Inspirations and go as far rs we like
In adaptations of them. 1t is in negli-
gees that we are fancy free.
Among the prettiest and most prac-
tical styles are those in which the
negligee is in one piece and made of
taffeta silk in light colors Lace or
net, and often both, are used with this
crisp, shimmering silk, and ribbons are
Il matter of course on all negligees.
Each of these contributes its share
toward making the quaint and youthful
garment with easy, flowing lines, pic
tured here. 1t looks like an ample
coat over long skirt. but is all in one
niece. flounce of lace headed with
aided by two patch pockets with
LOUNGES across the top. Lace Is gath

the top of the front fastening and
forms loose sash with bow and ends

Taffeta coats, about as long as a
mandarin coat, worn over lacy petit
coats are beautiful, and to be recon-
mended, especially for morning wear.
They are often trimmed with cord COW
cred with taffeta.. This order is re-
versed in negligees having silk petit
coats of taffeta or crepe de chine, with
little coats of net or silk, trimmed with
narrow lace frills, over them.

by buyers that these American goods
are dyed with American dyes in colors
that are permanent as well as soft
and pleasing.
A school dress, for girl anywhere
from twelve to seventeen, shown in the
picture above, is a combination of q
plain color with white in yoke, but
tons and simulated button holes. The
styles for girls of this age-the flap
pers" that still like to romp, have run
to plain skirts and overgarments more
or less like the MILDLY or sweater cont.
Big fiat pearl buttons may be consid-
cred a fad of the season and very
pretty means of simple ornamenting
that may be allowed on dresses for
school and play. With the service
able, low-heeled, canvas shoes we can
see in this outfit garb that is all
right for tennis, basketball, and vari-
Gus other pastimes, as well as for
schoolroom and street wear.

 The professor folded his umbrella and, balancing himself on tiptoo, peered cautiously over the edge of the masonry: Mrs. Prettywing also rose to her feet in slight agitation.

Religious Turks Discouraged.

The religious Turk is very much disEoWaged; The mosques ssaLe are not t,a as homet is blamed for the loss of the war. Turks whose dogs were taken away from them and dumped on an island in the Marmora to starve with tens of thousands of other Con stantinople mongrels some years ago see in Turkeys present plight a just judgment from Mahomet. Those who prophesied at the time that the wholesale massacre of the dogs would bring bad luck to Turkey are now wagging their heads sagely and re- calling their prophecies.
 The Mosque of Ahmed I is deserted. The Germans when they left carried off all the precious rugs and the faithful refuse to enter the mosque on the ground that it has been profaned and is unclean. More than 300 deaths from cholera took place in this mos que during the war.
 The bowling dervishes in particular declare that there is no hope for Turkey unless. the Great Phophet. Wilson" interyenes. Recently the American Red Cross Mission for .Ru and while waiting for their boat to coal, visited the bowling dervishes.
 With hot coals in his mouth and with high priests sticking knives fashion, the high priest called down the blessings of Mahomet upon Amer ica and maledictions upon all the en- emies of Turkey. A young Turk translated the head howler's lamen- tations and blessings.
 Memet VI. the Sultan, has not lost faith in Mahomet. however. Each Friday morning he visits the Yildez mosque to pray. His visit is a ceremony attended not only by thousands of Turkish onlookers and guards but also by hundreds Of All lied officers all equipped with cameras of every size and description.
 American army officers and Red Cross girls now find it easy to visit the mosques. St. Sophia is open to all corners and the American army nun is not forced even to take off his shoes. He merely slips them into pair of huge slippers and shuff1es about on the precious carpets which of Mecca.

 "Only passing shower" said Mrs Prettywing, undisturbed. We can shelter over there" She pointed to a crumbling wall, fringed with a hedge, that marked the remains of an old farmhouse a few yards further on. and toward it they bent their steps while the professor unfurIed his umbrella.
 By curious coincidence two other people at the same time were ap- preaching the same spot from the op-- minutes earlier.
 "I am rather concerned" the young man was saying; "I ana rather con cerned about my good parent The fact is, Dor, he is . dear old fellow, but as innocent as a babe and quite incapa- ble of looking after himself I don't know what is to become of him after we are married"
 "He must live with us," suggested Miss Doris Prettywing.
