Beiter tailoring, better s;Nle and
better woolens--that in a nutshell tells
the story about the WONDERFUL nm
provements you will note IN boys
clothing this spring and summer The
demand for the better grade OF boys
apparel has been So insistent that the
makers OF an classes have taken heed
Understand that the improvement is
not radical one, btat OF the gradual
order, for the evolution has been IN
progress for a number Of years. Bows
clothes OF years back were merely
covering for the youngsters hides. To-
day the story is different.
Care IN the Tailoring.
There is as much care and pains
taken in the making Of the BOYS suits
and topcoats as there is in the maxi
ing Of dads clothes. Suits that actu-
ally fit as if they were made for the
boy; wooiens Of superior class. and
tailoring Of the highest order is the
program OF the day.
The variance in the models OF the
boy and the young man OF prep age
isn't as marked now as formerly.
There is a gradual blending OF style
and when the boy discards his short
trousers for his first s'longy~ ruit he
or his parents win not see such a
radical change.
More Manly Models.
Yoke backs, panels. knife pleais and
novelty pockets are shown with some
prominence, but not as marked as last
spring. when those Nssyles covered
about ninety per cent OF the clothes
made. The bows models arc truly
more manly than ever, Tor The design
ers have considered the little fellows

sites and evsn military pratices in
school.

Juvenile Norfolk Popular.
There are some departures in the
STYLES for the little boys clothes
those ranging between the ages of
2 ~ to years. The juvenile norfolk
viii continue IN popular favor. Among
other STYLES that viii be worn are the
Oliver Twists. some with vestecs: mid
dy models. jackie styles and Russian
and Eton effects.
The military and naval styles OF two
years ago are practically discarded;
although some makers still cling TO.

No Change in Hea,lwear.
There's little change in the style Of
hats and caps for boys, with the ex-
ception that the "rah. rah" effect is
almost off the market. The hats are
palmer than heretofore with bowl
shapes and MILDLY styles in the fore
ground. There viii be very little trim

For the older boy the Fedora and
telescopic crush hats will be favored

A peculiar condition existed this

retailers waited patiently until the last
moment and then proceeded to dictate

a FEW cheerful pipings Of spring
n precede its full chorus in the dis
play of blOuses and separate skirts
that make their initial appearance in
January. They are the straws that
tell the direction of the winds of
fashion and likely to be the very best
efforts of designers, working with new
fabrics. Just now the shops are stag

blOuses. and already some Of them
have made a fine success. A favorite

for Illustration here, made of a fabric
that has been developed in a variety
of ways. and designers show them
selves ingenious in the use of these
striped goods.

Poems of Homer.

The IIliad and Odyssey were prob
ably sung by Homer about a century
and a half after the destruction of
the town of Troy following the ten
years of war that was waged in the
cause of Aienelaus. king of Lacede-
mon. whose consort had been carried
away by the son of the Trojan mon
arch. The two poems are as old as
David's psalms. Originally the nliad
would appear not to have been a sim
gle connected poem, but to have at
tanned at a later period its present
complete state.
About one hundred years after HON.
er, Lycurgus. the lawgiver of Lace
demon, brought these poems into
Greece. and two centuries and a half
later Pisistratus is supposed TO have
given them their perfect form. His
son Hipparcus introduced the custom
OF reciting rhapsOdies at the Pana-
thenaia. q festival of the tutelar god
dess. A more complete edition OF the
Homerfc poems, from which the mod
ern ones are taken. was prepared for
Alexander the Great by Aristotle,
which the former used to keep under
his pillow IN a golden case. Also
Aratus. the astronomer, Aristarchus Of
Samos, and AristOphanes. librarian at
Alexandra, bestowed their labor on
these immortal songs. Because Of the

box plaits with the checked stripe
folded uppermost and the plain stripe
under, so that the plain stripe does not
show except when the plaits spread
apart. This arrangement is reversed
in other skirts OF the same or similar
material. especially where the alter
mating stripe is not plain, but none Of
the models out-rank the one pictured
for trim, neatness and crispness, or
for all-round usefulness. It follows
the trend of new style in its narrow
belt fastened with bone buttons at the
front and the same buttons are set in
prim rows on each side.
The well-tailored separate skirt is
fully established in the regard of
women as tailored suits are and al
most as indispensable, providing a
very welcome change in the same
character of clothes. The skirt pic
tured, in light weight wool, is
