Sweater Dress for Riddles
Knitted Garments With Long Waists
and Short Plated Skirts At
tract Attention.

Among the prettiest of children's 8
clothes, writes a Paris fashion CORE
SpOndent, are the smart little top
coats carrying all the fashion ideas
seen in the motor coats of grown
ups. Very abbreviated full coats are
cut with kimono sleeves and narrow
standing collars. They open in the
front like a painters smock, and are
slipped on over the head. The stand
ing collar usually fastens with a bow
tie. The coat may be Of gray or cas-
tor color, trimmed with bands Of
bright peasant embroideries.
The tailored suits for children are
quite those of the grande dame. Moth
ing that goes with the dress Of the
grownup is lacking. The most favored
style is the straightline box coat,
usually worn without a belt of any
form Of a trimming or side belt. A
great many collars are of the Dutch
type, which is so becoming to children.
On cool days knitted sweater
dresses, with long waists and short
plated skirts, are seen. Sometimes
they are untrimmed and merely fin
ished with a banding of the same
material, and again the neck, sleeves
and bottom Of the skirt may be band
ed with a contrasting material.
Many little girls are seen wearing
bright colored homespun frocks en-
broidered in wool. One of yellow
homespun was made with a long
waist. The skirt was extremely

THE SKIRT LENGTH QUESTION
Younger Women Prefer Shorter Gar
ment Despite What Dame FASH
ion May Have to Say.

As to skirt length, that question is
an individual one and always will be.
1t seems impossible to induce a great
many of the younger women to wear
their skirts longer, no matter what
Dame Fashion may have to say about
the matter. And as a matter of fact
some matrons whose skirts should
have more dignified length seem to
feel that a trifie below the knees is
quite as far as skirt should go.
However, skirts for the coming sea-
son are distinctly wider than for sew
eral seasons, and a rather wide skirt,
especially if it has any flare at all,
looks shorter than it really Is.
The circular skirt is distinctly in
the limelight just now, but it is too
early to say whether or not it will
really "take." The type Of skirt is
always an experiment, and the WON
an Who Is to have Just one suit q
frock for spring will do well to avoid
it, Circular skirts almost always sag

rial and most carefully shaped.

FAMED FOR GIANT POTATOES
District Just North of Denver Has Es.
tabIished Its Reputation for the
Succulent Vegetable.

When Horace Greeley gave the
young men of America a loose foot by
saying, some decades ago: go West,
young man." he incidentally succeeded
in getting a very fine brand of pO-
tatoes named for himself; writes vii
liam G. Shepherd in the Saturday Eve
ming Post. A group of men who went
to the West at that time settled i'll
district north of Denver and east
of the Rocky mountains, and perhaps,
because they thought of nothing else
to raise. they planted potatoes. About
them, in the highlands, the only wild
potatoes in the United States were
similar climatically and otherwise to
the highland district in Chile, where
explorers are believed TO have come
across the potato for the first time.
These Colorado wild potatoes prop
agated themselves by means Of seeds.
and it is from the pods of these seeds
that the Colorado potato experts get
the material by means of which they
have produced the Greeleyville potato.
Eastern railroads, on which huge
baked potatoes, served in the dining
cars, have come to be strong allies Of
the passenger agent and heavy draw
ers of patronage, send to the Colorado
district for the potato giants. Trans
continental railroads which use the
northern route send men into the Mon

PRETTY CAMISOLE FOR GIRLS
Dainty Crepe De Chine or Mercerized
Affairs Can Be Made With
Slight Effort.

1t is impossible for a girl to have
too many camisoles. Dainty little
crepe de chine or mercerized lawn
affairs can be made in half of no
time.
A strip of material little wider in
front than at the back and half as
long again as the bust measurement
of the wearer, an edging of Valen-
ciennes or filet insertion (the straight
edge is much smarter than scalloped
lace edging). hem for an elastic run
ner. ribbon shoulder straps and a lit
tie wreath Of handmade roses. That's
all, but how attractive!
And about the shoulder straps.
Give each shoulder two straps instead
Of the customary one. Set them
across on the shoulders and hold
them together with a wee rosebud or
rosette of ribbon.
This is the brilliant idea of French
woman, and straps made like this
never slip or get uncomfortable.

young had fled from the irksome tasks
which had roughened the hands and
bent the backs of their parents. That,
briefly, accounts for the fewness and
the sniffiness above referred to.
Early in 1917, the village was
shaken by alarming and astonishing
news. True, the sinking Of the Lusi-
tania and our own enlistment in the
World war and the German successes
on the Russian frontier had, in way,
prepared the heart and intellect of
Bingville for shocking events. Still.
these disasters had been remote. The
fact that the Gilligan sisters had left
the Crookers and accepted an offer of
one hundred and fifty dollars a month
from the wealthy Nixons of Hazel
mead was an event close to the foot
lights, so to speak. 1t caused the news
of battles to take its rightful place in
the distant background. Men talked
of this event in stores and on the
street corners; it was the subject of
conversation in sewing circles and the
Philomathian Literary club. That
day, the Bings whispered about it at
the dinner table between courses until
Susan Crowder sent in a summons by
Martha Featherstraw with the apple
pie. She would be glad to see Mrs. ].
Patterson Bing in the kitchen imme-
diately after dinner. There was a mo-
ment of silence in the midst of which

wife, who turned pale as she put down
her pie fork with look of determina-
tion and rose and went into the kitch-
en-. Mrs. Crowder regretted that she
and Martha would have to look for
another family unless their wages
were raised from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty dollars a month.
"But, Susan, we all made an agree
ment for a year." said Mrs. Bing.
Mrs. Crowder was sorry, but she
and Martha could not make out on the
wages they were getting-everythin
cost so much. If Mary Gilligan, who
couldn't cook, was worth a hundred
dollars a month Mrs. Crowder cOnsid-
cred herself cheap at twice that figure
Mrs. Bing, in her anger, was in
clined to revolt, but Mr.. Bing settled
the matter by submitting to the tyr
amy of Susan. With Phyllis and
three of her young friends coming
from school and a party in prospect,
there was nothing else to do.
Maggie Collins, who was too old
and too firmly rooted in the village to
leave It, was satisfied with raise

All this had decided effect on th'
economic life of the village. Indeed
Hiram BlenkinsOp, the village drunk
ard, who attended to the lawns and
gardens for a number of people, de.
manded an increase of q dollar day
in his wages on account of the higt
cost of living, although one would say
that its effect upon him could not have
been serious. For years the historic
figure of Blenkinsop had been the des'
tination and repository of the cast-ofi
clothing and the worn and shapeleSs
shoes of the leading citizens. For
decade. the venerable derby hat, whict
once belonged to Judge CroOker, hae
survived all the incidents of his ad-
venturous career. He was. indeed. as

Some time before. the Old Spirit OF
Bingville had received notice that its
services would no longer be required.
It had been an Industrious and faith
full Old Spirit. The new generation did
not intend to be hard on it. They
were willing to give it a comfortable

CHAPTER oNE-continued.

The great white bird in the Con-
gregational church tower-that being
Bob's thought of it--flew out across
the valley with it's tidings of good
will.
To the little Shepherd it seemed to
say: "Bing-Bing-Bi !.
Coming, Coming, Com-inglw
Many of the friends of his mother
mostly poor folk Of the parish who
worked in the mill--came with simple
gifts and happy greetings. There were
those among them who thought 1t a
blessing to look upon the sweet face
of Bob and to hear his merry laughter
over some playful bit of gossip and
Judge Crooker said that they were
quite right about it. Mr.. and Mrs. J..
Patterson Bing were never to feel this
blessing. The Shepherd of the Birds
waited in vain for them that Christ
mas day. Mrs. Bing sent letter Of
kindly greeting and a twenty-dollar
gold piece and explained that her hus-
band was not feeling "quite up to the
mark" which was true.
'Pm not going" he said decisively,
when Mrs. Bing brought the matter up
as he was smoking in the library an
hour or so after dinner. "No cripples
and misery in mine at present, thank
you'll l wouldn't get over it for a
week. Just send them our best wishes
and a twcnty-dollar gold piece"
There were tears in the Shepherds
eyes when his mother helped him into
his night clothes that evening.
II hate that twenty-dollar gold
piecew he exclaimed.
"Laddie boyl Why should ye be
sayin' that?"
The shiny piece of metal was lying
on the window sill. She took it in her
hand.
"It's as cold as a snow-bank !" she
exclaimed.
