are never overdone.
 One-piece effects with long should CTS in kimono effect and set in sleeves are among the most attractive frocks flor growing girls. The sergees, tri- cotines, tricolettes, etc, are splendid ly adapted to development of these fabrics. It is permissible to trim them with braid or embroidery, but frequently a few tucks or a ~oW of shirring answer all reasonable pur- poses of the ultra forms of trimming for girls dresses. Waists also are noted among the ultra forms of trim ming for girls dresses. Waists are either long or normal, with gathered skirts attached. For practical wear
 there are comparatively few short waisted dresses for girls
 There is much to be said in favor
 of fur and velvet trimmed coats for
 very little girls. It appears that al
 most any model which aims at dis tinction needs either one or the other of these trimmings, if the expensive look so much to be desired is to be achieved without a corresponding out. lay of money. Some elegant things are possible with velvet by home dressmakers that compare faYorably
 with the costliest of imported models, although inexpensive materials are employed in the process. It is folly
 to spend too much upon clothes for children because they outgroW them I, so rapidly and styles change so ire
 quently. More wash materials than
 usual are used this season for young sters' apparel. For sanitary reasons
 there is everything to be said in their favor while the materials are rich in | coloring, sturdy of weave and gener- ally as satisfactory in appearance as
 non-washable fabrics.
 Tailored suits for women feature simple jackets with long lines. One could write ad infnitum on the diver sfty of vests, for the subject has yet
 to be exhausted, but for the moment
 more is heard about collars, which are
 changing to the scquare and choker
 variety in preference to shawl effects, The smartest jacket models have con-
 vertible collars, giving the wearer a
 choice of lines
 In colors, browns, >Pekin and taupes are stressed, it being a foregone con clusion that dark blue is as smart as
 ever. Blue, however, seems to be in greater demand for one-piece dresses and semi-tailIeurs than for suits. Silk
 duvetyn and the short pile fabrics
 employed in the development of tail
 ored costumes are featured in African brown, stone and moss green. with very much dark gray in the green. Furs in their natural coloring are
 being used by the most exclusive de signers to trim tailleurs of distinction.

investment than many of the other woolen materials one sees in the shops. From the standpoint of stur- diness there is nothing better than a good serge, and it can always be freshened to look presentable.
 A youthful model that is quite at tractive in serge and which will be repeated in velvet and the satin cloths later in the season has the skirt built in three deep tiers, while the waist is drawn in at the front and laid in plaits at the side. The dress may be trimmed with wool or silk embroid- cry, but nothing is so smart just now as very narrow velvet ribbon stitched over an embroidery design, represent ing the natural coloring of Fall flow CTS and foliage. The vest of the dress may be or satin or georgette. The revers turn back from the vest nar- rowly and merge into a skinny col lar of contrasting material, usually velvet
 There is a great demand for the tricotines and velours, dresses for even small girls and intermediates being found in these fabrics.

ribbon is the material used for the bag. The ring which is sewed to the bag need not be beaded, but may be covered with the bag material. It also is charming in amber or tortoise shell. Two punches of the green and rose, and four punches of grey beads are required, the gray beads being em- ployed for the fringe.
 The side of the bag which folds over and is not embroidered is fitted with a large pocket, which contains still another smaller pocket. To make it one needs one-half yard of taffeta, faille or satin, with one-quarter yard of the same material for the lining.
 The fringe may be interlooned or sewed on in straight lines, as preferred.

sWATMAN, SPARE THAT FLY!
Swat Not a Single Wing; They Tell
Us 'Tis a Surplus Fly and
Useful Little Thing.

Not all flies are enemies of man and
deserving of being hunted with the
swatter and trapped with fly paper, ac-
cording to G. F. Fluke, entomologist at
the Wisconsin experiment station. The
syrphus flies, commonly called "sWeet
bees" and "hover flies," are the CHIEF
enemies of plant lice, according to Mr..
Fluke, and the latter would cause
enormous loss If their numbers were
not kept down by the flies.
The syrphus flies are marked with
black and yellow bands on the abdo-
men, but they neither sting nor bite.
The adult lays eggs among the colo
MES of plant lice, and when the larvae
hatch they feed upon the lice. But
for the flies, plant lice would destroy
large areas of fruit trees and field
crops, especially peas, Mr.. Fluke says
and they should therefore be protect
ed, rather than killed.

nations Of her charges, but ignored
them and led them into an Opportune
woods road. Now the head counselor
did not look q day older than some OF
her campers. However, she was twen-
ty-fve. Miss Holden, though only a
year older, looked every bit of 1t.
Therefore it was not surprising that
the dapper young officer, halting his
detachment and hurrying ahead, should
address the latter. With lifted cap,
disclosing brown curls closely bar
bered, he inquired if the shore road
came out on the highway. Then he
listened attentively to Miss Holden's
reply-and looked at Muriel.
At crisp order from their COM
mander the sailor lads continued down
the road. The campers vanished into
their own woods. The incident was
closed.
Lily Dart, a romantic young woman
of seventeen, elaborated upon the
meeting to Bertha. "And the officer
was a peach. He fairly ate up Miss
Muriel with his eyes"
Muriel looked up from where she
was assisting one of the "Cleveland
twins to pick up stitch gone wrong.
Lucky he used his eyes instead of
those white teeth, ILL.," she said, "but
I don't admire fatal beauty in a man.
So don't waste your time building up
a romance on that look"

night at the reserve station. Every
one at Camp Segatchie was invited.
Great was the rejoicing among the
girls when they returned and heard
the news. Immediately what to
wear" became the principal topic of
conversation. Lily Dart, against the
rules of the camp, had brought q very
dossy evening gown. Every one was
envious. That matter, however, was
quickly settled by Muriel. "Now, girls"
said that decided young lady, ~the cos
tune of the evening will be white
skirt, white MILDLY, white shoes and
stockings; then your black sailor ties.
We are campers, not a society outfit.

I'll bet that good-looking officer

frrepressible Lily. "Really, Miss
Muricl, you don't look day older."'
As It happened. the romantic proph
