opment take a more leisure1y course.
| The advance models are being con-
sidered with zest and appreciation by
I'both parent and offspring. Because
they lend themselves to development
in a wide variety of materials, it is
possible to make them up upon econ
omica1 lines or fashion them with
lavish hand. Simplicity is always a
safe play in planning children IS
clothes, however.
Be they for kindergarten tots or
girls about to enter college, the new
designs are models Of Intelligent PLAN
ming. Service, comfort and style are
united in one big triumvirate. A cum
ming little model in chal1is serves to
illustrate the point. 1t is in slip-on
effect, closing at the shoulders. The
short sleeves are cut in one with the
front and back of the dress and out
lining sleeves and neck is a fold of
red challis. This can be reproduced
in bingham, chambray, galatea, the
English prints or, more elegantly, in
taffeta, if the dress is to be impressed
into more formal service.
"A great deal of applique work Is be-
ing used upon girls dresses, offering
a fine opportunity for the fine blend
ing Of unusual color effects. In blue
chambray is a straight line with short,
set in sleeves, though provision is
made for long sleeves if preferred. The
dress closes at the back and is held in
at the waist with a string belt of
se1f-materia1s. There are the usual
pockets in decorative accompaniment
to collar and turnlback cuffs. About
the lower edge Of the dress is an ap-
plique trimming of filed f1ower-pots,
the pots in dark green and the flow
ers in pink, white and yellow.

age where play is the supreme effort

Making Figs from Tomatoes.

Dried tomatoes make a good subst1-
tute for figs, raisins, or dates, in
cooking. To make them, peel large
ripe tomatoes, cut them in halves, and
add 3: cupfuls of sugar to 1 gallon OF
tomatoes. Bring this mixture to the
boiling-point and let it boil down to
the consistency Of table-sirup; pour
this over the drained pulp and spread
on q. platter; dry in the oven or sun
shine. Sugar should be sifted over
these figs and they should be packed
in small tin boxes.

most unanimous in their assertions
that 1t constituted another indica-

The possibility of Congressional
