New York.--Nothing SO delights the
heart of child as 10 hold a flag In Its
hand. Youth and the symbols of pa
trlotism are linked. Wasn't II Gals

1t was clever. therefore, of the de-
signers to launch the youngsters into
Victory clothes. The elders may ex-
press their relief from the tension of
terror that hnndcuffed us all for four
years by bursting out of the chrysallis
into the butterfly, but their clothes will
not be parts of the flag. 1t Is not fit
ting, writes a leading fashion author
tty, that any but youth should wear
the bits of red. white and blue which,
combined with certain skill, make
the allurlng Victory clothes OF this
hour.

buttonholes In the front or back of O

There are frocks for older children
which are made of red, white and blue

Froeks Of UnbIeached Muslin.
Two months, ago Doucet of Paris
gave the world new idea when he
used unbleached muslin edged with
tiny, colored fringe as n lining for
jackets. 1t had the triple qualities OF
endurance, originality and cheapness
this new lining. 1t was wartime
necessity, so Doucet thought, but II
speedily became n piece Of economy
that threatened to be high fashion.
Probably the spring will make 1t ex'
ceedingly popular. 1t is good idea
