THE NEW BLOUSE,

Many women make mistakes in buy.
J ing ready-made blouses because they
give very little thought to the choice OF
| material. They buy the blouse thai
they think becoming regardless of the
material from which it is made
In these days of high prices you can
hardly afford to do this. You should
always examine the material with as
great care as you would We're you buy
ing table linen or dish toweling. You
blouse, batiste or similar fabric is less
likely to shrink than is crepe. If you
have long arms and usually experience
the difficulty of having the sleeves
shrink, Then you should avoid crepe
Charming as tricolette and other knit
ted silk bodices are, you should remem-
Der that in this type of fabric there is
the tendency to slipped stitches. There
fore, in the blouse that you wish to
give hard wear or the blouse that you
wish to wear under a close-fitting suit
jacket some other fabric is better Sc
lection
Nothing wears better than a good
quality pongee. But be SIRE that the
quality is good. The good quality pom
gee blouse is excellent for the young
1t washes and irons eXcellently and
really seems to defy wear. Another ma
terial that wears very we'll is crepe me-
teor, silk that is like crepe de chine
on the wrong side, but like soft satin on
the right side. 1t is good selection for
your suit blouse, and may usually be
had in a variety of colors. Being OF
sa tin finish it seems to shed the soil, but
with care may he washed satisfactorily.
Ra jah, which is not used now so much
as it was once, is something like pongee
in being rough in appearance. However,
the threads are more irregular and it is
not one of the best-wearing silks.
TaffetaS are attractive, but nowadays
are not very durable.

Ofhterest to Women
THE SEASONS UMBRELLA FADS
BY ANNE RITTENH0USE.

If a fashionable woman of centuries
a2o-Madame de Pompadour. for in
stance, whose name has been applied
TO so many fashions even to the pres
ent day-should come to life and take
a little shopping trip about her native
Paris or through one of our own shops
where frocks and hats and shoes and
numerous accessories of womenS
dress are temptingly displayed, she
would doubtless find many things that
would make those long. half-closed
eyes of hers grow round and wide
open in establishment.
/. OF all accessories undoubtedly the
modern umbrella would need most eX-
PLANTATION. In the first place. UNI
brellaS were not in use at all as UNI
brelas in those days. The parasol of
similar shape was known, and it was
an accessory of every Fashionable
womans wardrobe. and had been
Since the days of classic Greece. 1t
Game into modern Europe through
italy. But in the days of the Pompa-
doUr it was not used as a shelter
against rain. Moreover, fashionable
women-no women, in fact, except the
very poor and humble-went abroad
in the streets of Paris when it rained.
In the country YOU might have man
aged. But with streets that were
bitches of mire at best. unsuited for
the feet of dainty women who We're
always carried about in chairs. and
with water SpoutS from the roofs OF
the houses jutting out in most uneX-
pected places. ii would have taken
more than the clever umbrella maker
and waterproof coatmaker to make q
rainy day walk in Paris inviting.
A Tempting Accessory.
And now umbrellas are not only to
be found as a useful possession of the
woman of today. but this very UNI
brella has become very attractive
and tempting accessory. Women of
taste are no longer content to carry
any umbrella that happens to present
itself. They have their own UNI
brellas just as they have their own
parasols. and if they can afford it
they have several umbrellas so that
they can gain variety in rainy-day
apparel as in fair weather apparel.
In France it took the late war to
put the finishing touches on umbrel-
las. With the requisition of private
motor cars and taxis by the govern
ment women who had hesitated about
walking abroad in rainy weather be-
fore found that it was a question of
doing this or of staying home. And
they found that it wasn't half dis
agreeable and became positively a
pleasure when aided by the attra ctive
rainy-day accessories speedily put on
the market by clever umbrella max
ers, who somehow. in spite of the di-
version of labor and materials to the
serious business of making war, found
time to satisfy women'S cravings for
the beautiful.
Good Taste Demands.
Especially attractive and diverse

sight and see, too, and being Peter
Rabbits own son he just had to see
who was passing.
Again he heard the light step ana
a rustling grass. \ second later a
gentleman in gray paused just In
front of tiny opening in the bushes.
The little Rabbit never had seen any
one at all like him and he quite held
his breath in admiration. The gentle
man in gray was quite the largest
person the little Rabbit had ever
seen. He was many times larger than
Peter Rabbit. and up to this minute
Peter had been the largest person ms
small nshad seen.
The strahg gers coat really was rain
er yellowish. but in the dusk 1t look
ed gray He had a wonderful bushy
tail and his face was sharp ana
shrewd looking. Altogether the
stranger was very smart in appear
ance and the little Rabbit was quite
lost in admiration.
Il would like to know him. | am
sure he could tell me much OF the
Great World thought the little Rap-
bit.
And just then Old Man Coyote, for
that is who the gentleman in gray
was. must have had pleasant
thought. for he grinned- And the 1T
tie Rabbits heart Topped almost over
for he was looking into great NOUN
which seemed filled with great. lons

CARE AND TRAINING
A series of articles prepared
especially for The Star by the
United States Public Health
Service.
Baby's Clothing.

In dressing the baby he should be
handled as little as possible. A lit
tie baby'S body is very tender. and
if handled roughly or too much he
will be made very uncomfortable. All
the clothing should be drawn on and
off over the feet instead of over the
head.
When he is dressed completely,
baby has on a band, shirt, diaper.
skirt. dress and bootees. None of this
clothing should be heavy or stiff. 1t
is better to dress a baby lightly and
slip on a little short jacket for cool
mornings and evenings. When baby
is a few months old it is a good plan
on hot summer day to take off all
his clothing for few minutes in the
middle of the day and allow him to
roll and play on a bed.
Elaborate or fancy trimmed gar
ments have no place in little baby S
wardrobe. Both mother and baby are
better off without them, especially if
the mother must care for the gar
ments herself Lace about the neck
of little babys dress is liable to
irritate the tender skin and cause the
child a great deal of discomfort, as
will starched garments. Sonnet lines
these irritations are difficult to heal.
For the first few weeks of life the
new baby does little but eat, sleep
clothes, and these should be of the
simplest and most comfortable kind
The following are all that are neces-
sary:
Slips.-For everyday wear there
should be six plain white slips. These
should be cut by the kimono sleeve
pattern and a tape run through a
facing around the neck and sleeves
If they are made twenty lone inches
long from shoulder to hem they will
not need shortening. They should
never be made longer than twenty
seven inches. Two Sunday slips may
be made with bishop sleeves and a
little embroidery on the front. Set-in
sleeves are more difficult to put on
a little baby For wear under the
slips. baby needs also four flannel
skirts, princess style. For hot weather
these may be made of the very light
est weight flannel or part flannel and
cotton.
Sleeping Garments.-Baby needs
four "nighties" or sleeping bags of
white outing flannel or knitted ma
terial. For winter wear the sleeves
of the nishtie may be made two
inches longer and the bottom eight
inches longer. Draw tapes may be
run through the sleeves and the hem
and babys hands and feet protected
from the cold.
Sleeping bags are made thirty
three inches long and twenty-seven
inches wide. open down the front
The baby is laid in and the bag
buttoned UP. He can be changed
without taking him out of the bag.

IT'S something quite beyond believing,
That looks so often are teceiving.

| Not since he had discovered that he
was lost had Peter Rabbits willful
little son felt quite SO comfortable as
| he did in his new refuge. 1t was an
| old stone wall with bushes growing
| thiclliy along both sides of it and
vines and brambles running over 1t.
| 1t was just such place as is beloved
| of Rabbits, CEipmunks and other lit
| tie folk.
! No sooner did this willful little Rab
| bit discover that old stone wall than
without knowing just why he felt
safe He felt it in his bones that as
! long as he remained in or close to
| that old wall he would have little to
! fear from most of his enemies. He
| didn't understand why it was Il sale
| place, but he felt that it was. and
| that was enopgh. He began to feel in
better spirits right away. In fact he
soon became his too important little

| that old wall he hadn't known since
| he himself started out into the Great
| World to seek his fortune and make
a place for himself. The truth is that
very old wall had been Peters first

much as this willful young son of his
| was now feeling.

delighted he was to discover a patch
of sweet clover at a certain place
just beyond the edge of the bushes
along one side of the old wall. This
completed his happiness and he was
soon busy filing his stomach.
When he could eat no more he re-

small person who knows nothing OF
