cessories Of dress. The list Of them
Is amazingly long and ever varying,
and by means of them smartness and
variety are lent to costumes that must

were no fans, no wells, no pretty COL

mure fichus, no piquant undersleeves.
no colorful and dainty artificial flow

to transfer their flavor and charm t.
the costume that has become an Ole
story. In order to achieve variety,
and interest. and to endOw any tot
lette with character-one must look to
accessories.
Leading off with the most important
Of these first aids to the plain CO.'S
tune, we shall have to reckon with
neckwear; collar and cuff sets, waist,
coats, and the fichus. Lace, organ
die, batiste and net are used to make
all these, and they lend a touch of
freshness and daintiness that is be-
yond price. This season reveals many
sets in light colored organdie, pref
tily embroidered. After neckwear, Cir
dies may claim to be of more impor-
lance than other things. Here bril-
liant and rich ribbons transform the
frocks they adorn. The girdle be-
comes an evening bodice by sufficient
widening and is sometimes the I'M
forgetable touch that makes a gown
distinguished.

THOSE who have the welfare Of the
i human race at heart realize that
the most promising field for their &C.
tivities lies in child-welfare work.
Gradually it has dawned upon the con-
sciousness Of increasing numbers OF
people that the state owes every child
Its supervision and has right to die
tate how any child shall be cared for,
provided for and educated for the
drst sixteen years Of its life. The state
provides schools and compulsory edu-
cation laws and when the time comes
that these are carefully enforced a
great step forward will have been
taken.
But the state must go farther than
merely providing the means for OBJ
tanning schooling and this Is theme
In which women show unfafling and
vital interest. Children have the right
to be comfortable, to be well nourished
and clothed, to be taught cleanliness
and morality. Many charitable asso-
Citations and many women Organiza-
lions have interested themselves in
these affairs of children in ca1tain
localities, but the work is not as uni
versal or as thoroughly organized as
It should be. A plan has been evolved
that might have universal application,
and It aims to give every child q
chance to make good citizen.
This plan advocates the establish
ment in every county Of this country,
q child-welfare board. This board Is
to be made up of public spirited citi-
gems who are willing to serve on it
without pay. The board will have I'M
der its Jurisdiction every poor and de-
pendent child. and will exercise it's
supervision. under compulsory statutes,
with proper appropriations made for
their enforcement. The provision
made by such a board for children is
not a charity any more than a public
school is. The idea is to avoid any
stigma that might attach to q child
who has been charge Of charity and
the object is to start every child on
the right road to good citizenship.
Such a board will make itself felt
In the homes and insist that condi-
tons are as favorable there as posi-

A Separate Lining.

The French have a practical ide..
Of economizing in Innings and under

Innings which they call a "Maillot."
These slips are of thin satin, one light

chosen for the latter and flesh pink or
pale yellow for the former. This gar
ment is nothing more than a corset
cover and petticoat combined, cut in
one piece and fastened down the back.
There are short sleeves that carry
