- LOTHES do not distress chill
dren. They distress their
mothers. The latter have to
do the thinking, planning.
When one faces the long hot summer
of America the task is not easy.
No mother can approach the task
saying that anything will do. The
modern child voices its approval or
displeasure in TO uncertain tones ana
mothers have learned to listen.
Children have an unCanny way or
keeping in touch with what is being
worn, for il is their occupation TO be
grouped with others and they have
tribal instincts. They bring home
gossip at an early age. they insist
upon being like their fellows and are
in more intimate touch with the
world than the stay-at-home parent
They feel ridicule keenly and are
without philosophy TO combat it, and
much of ridicule that is the give and
take of juvenile life is about man
ners and dress. It's about all the
young life knows. II is harsh and
unsparinE. 1t teaches the groups of
youngsters to keep within the Gus
toms and costumes of the tribes to
which they belong.

used by the driver or guard Of Eng

Flutes of cane of bone and Of gourd

in a variety Of fantastic shapes. A
number of the bone flutes which have
been found have stop-holes on the
under side, apparently meant to be
closed by the thumb. They are very
primitive instruments. not producing
a true or complete scale. That the
Peruvians were able to realize their
shortcomings to at least some extent
appears in the fact that in some in
struments attempts to correct the
scale have been made; the vents
have been plugged with bits of gourd
and substituted by other holes. More
over, IL is to be remembered that the
age and condition of the instruments,
especially those of cane, have doubt

cases the grotesque element predom-

CERTAIN things are laid down for
children this season. but the pas
ture where they may browse is wide
and rich. More freedom is permitted.
more liberties may be taken than
ever.
1t Is difficult to tell whether the
grown-ups take more from the nurs-
cry than childhood takes from the
big wardrobe. but there is a striking
similarity between the clothes worn
by all the ages
The delightful freedom that chill

adult fashions, without the freedom.

Never were children SO briefly
clothed. but neither expense nor
anxiety is spared by this fashion.
Whatever latitude is allowed, the
certain things that stand out in the
seasonal output arc the straight line,
the infinitesimal skirt, the negligible
sleeves. the avoidance of any restrain
ing sash or girdle, the use of colors,
and the scarcity of the entirely white
frock.
France has persuaded Us to accept
these things. We were quite sure in
our own minds that We would con-
tinue to dress our children as we had
done, and then We found that the
very fashions we had ridiculed in
Paris as put out by the smart dress
makers had orept in here overnight
without asking our leave. They came.
they were seen and they conquered.
Those who are not aware of their
acceptance are shocked at their
brevity and feel quite virtuous in an
nouncing that their children will

when children take all fashions away
from their elders, or the other way
around. it is strange that the DOM
inant color adopted by the women
has been refused by the child. The
French are not so opposed to tho use
of it as we are, but they have made
black artistic, as a rule, whereas we
have used 1t more for economy and
for mourning.

1t is not necessary to cut the one

escape them altogether. The more
leg the better is the argument. The
observer of modern dress may in
sist that this rule holds good among
all women today, except those in the
savage countries.
AS a child's legs do not move the
reformers to protest, the only condi-
tion that stands against the adoption

prejudice Of the mother. She may be
squeamish, she may consider the
