ner the designer grew playful in max
ing the accessories. The pockets are
queer and just make-believe and the
collar plays pranks. 1t takes on
band of plain gray cloth at the back
and becomes revers at the front by
means of an unexpected side-step, to
which attention is called by two little
buttons. 1t is a coat to please
little girl and every one who sees
her.
The very little girl has demure
and correct coat on with a full body
gathered to a fitted yoke. The pointed
collar finished with tassel at the
back suggests hood and looks very
little-girlish, but a muffler collar Of
silk has very grown-up air. Design
ing clothes for children is not as sim
pie as it looks, but there are people
who are gifted with special knack
for doing it.
The Benson signal., 1919-05-24

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
drou and something that brings out
the sweet promise that makes little
girls so lovable. AS the little lady
progresses into the f1apper stage this
mimicry of grown-ups is abandoned
because she requires things made es-
pecially for her in her "pin-feather"
stage. 1t takes the little, downy chick
to look lovely while she apes her
mother and to make us wish to have
the world an easy place for her to live
in when she grows up.
For a girl of tenor thereabout-
the checked coat shown in the picture
has been designed with thought only
of her and her needs. 1t is in black

ing and crisp garment, as buoyant as

front, has roomy sleeves with wide

If the feminine mind ever needed
convincing that pretty and strictly
feminine clothes add a world Of joy
ito life it is thoroughly made up on
that point now. During the war
women got themselves into business
clothes and uniforms, turned their
backs on everything that limited of
frivolity and "tended to their knitting"
dressed in the cuietest and most mat
ter-of-fact way. But the minute 1t
was over they welcomed everything
that is beautiful and cheerful in ap-
parel and are spending more money
for clothes than ever before, to the
benefit of everybody.
OF course millinery reflects more
ouickly than anything else the moods
of the public, for several reasons. A

Blacksmith and Dentist.

It is astonishing to find that there
is anyone living at the present day
who has had his teeth pulled out by
the village blacksmith. Yet there are
such.
1t was quite common thing at one
time to go to the village blacksmith
for extractions. His principal quail
fication for the job was strong pair
of pincers. After gripping the offend
ing tooth with the pincers he would
screw the long handles in wise so
that the patient could not move.
Then. putting bar of iron in the
fire till it was blazing hot, he would
dab it at the victims nose. He would,
of course, violently draw back, leaving
the tooth behind. 1t was all done
very quickly and cleverly.-London

1t was rather haggard, care-worn,
frowning face that Gaylord Sumner
carried into the private den of Otis
Layard. He chewed more than
smoked the cigar that his host gave
him as they took seats before a crack
ling log that furnished heat and an at
mosphere of comfort from it's repose
within the blackened confines Of fire
place.
No word was spoken for a spell.
Layard leaned back and waited for
his friend to state his errand, but
Sumner seemed in no hurry. He SIM
ply champed on the cigar and occa-
sionally partook Of some smoke and
stared dreamily and somewhat morose-
ly into the fire. Finally he announced
abruptly:
"Tve quit my job"
Layards eyebrows elevated in sur
prise.
"That's queer" he observed. "You
haven't had it more than two months
and it pays pretty fair salary, ac-
cording to my ideas. The Superior
Auto company is quite some concern
and to be it's sales manager is no
mean occupation. What's the idea?"
Gaylord rested his elbows on his
knees and with his hands formed a
cup for his square, determined chin.
He sat in moody silence for another
brief period, then smiled a wry kind
Of smile and explained:
'I'm going huntington that treas
ure of yours"

thing had struck him as being ridicu-
lously funny. When he recovered
