Irma posed slluringiy. but her

w THEN mother takes her small
M son visiting or sends him to
W Sunday School she dresses
him in a smart suit of pongee and
black satin and knows he is assured
Of social success.
Up to six years one may suit her
youngster in straight black satin
"panties'' and button them to
blouse of tan silk pongee, with
white pearl buttons. The blouse
has. a round collar and cuffs. Then
for final smartness, a black silk
necktie, and in this costume her
small son is both smart and COM
fortably cool.
Very striking, too, are these suits
made up of black satin combined
with white silk blouse and fine
knife pleatings. Some fastidious
feminine mothers dress their young
sters in black taffeta and top it
with soft blouse of flesh or pale
yellow crepe de chine. These
blouses are detachable.
This attractive little party suit Is
also developed in flesh colored wash
satin, corn colored for the dark
child with the olive complexion and
is also shown in all white.
Checked silk gingham is another
favorite and is made up into some
delightfully."- dainty suits for play
days. For three-year- -olds, one
chooses a romper style bue IL your
son has attained the manly age of
FIVE, dress him in straight trousers
and tucked waist. Collar him in
white pique and cuff him likewise,
and for a striking note, add a neck
tie of black silk.

When Hearts Are Trunlps
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water.

. looked so young, so appealing, that
the man held out his arms to her
and drew her down upon his knees.
What is it, little girl? Oor would
you rather that your old uncle
guessed?
mo. must tell you myself. Mr..
Brandon snys he loves me. We are
engaged"
with stifled sob. she dropped
her head on her uncle's shoulder.
Arthur Paige had not seen his
niece cry since she was twelve years
old, and, for a moment, there was
such a lump in his throat that he
could not speak. Then, with a
strong effort, he conquered his own
weakness, although his voice was
husky when he spoke.
There, there, darling! Cry all
you want II 1t makes you feel any
better. Why, do you know that
when your blessed mother told me
of her engagement to your father
my dear brother-she cried, too
just for happiness! She and Iwere
dear friends, you know-so she told
me the news before your father
did"
GOOD MAN.

eyes.

"They tell me, Bah" the man re-
Joined with tremulous laugh,
that many of your sex show their
Joy in that way. But" growing
grave again, II would rather see
you smile, darling. / am glad you
told me the news yourself. 1t was
sweet of you to come to me at
once"
81 wanted to-" was the simple
reply. "Mr. Brandon is coming to
see you later. l asked him to let
me tell you before l told anybody

Even your aunt?" with an appre-
hensive glance toward the door.
9es, even Aunt Cynthia. And,
Uncle, I would like you to tell her.
i feel as II l could not-just now"
The tears were near the surface
again. Arthur hastened to check
them. "Of course, I will explain
everything to her. Run up to your
room by this rear door When you
come down again she viii know all
about 1t.
"But first" as she started to obey
his suggestion, "let me kiss you,
dear child"
He kissed her tenderly, on the
forehead, then on the lips.
God bless you, dear! John Bran
