little Miss Mufet

The next person Nancy and Nick
saw was little Miss Muffet.
But you'd never have believed 1t
was she, for there was no tufe, and
much to Nancy's relief, no spider sit
ting beside err either.
What brought you away up here
in the sky? asked Miss Muffet Curl
ously.

Nancy. Mother Goose has lost her
broom, and the cobwebs are getting

something else. What are the fash

you live? So few people come up
here and I'm afraid I'll get old-fash-
Toned and out of date. Do little girls
wear pinafores still? And are poke
bonnets so fashionable as they were2
And what is the newest shade of
yarn for working samplers And
are long eurls the style?"
"Pinafores?" Nancy puckered up
her brows in a puzzled way. hen
suddenly she smiled. "Oh, yea
You've got n on, haven't you? No,
little girls wear bloomers and
knickerbockers now to play In. And
they don't wear hats at all when
they can help it. And they don't
make samplers any o They

and whey are not popular. Sodas

HEALING ART OF OLD CHINESE
Abundant Proof That They Were Fa-

Thousands o. Years AGO.

The artificial induction OF painless

Doctor Browne relates two cases OF

Aristotle and an Indian surgeon named

The Waist and
Skirt Combined

tiest Of all are the thin knitted sweat.
ers with their pastel color!ngs and
their Interesting array OF stitches,
which give them character and tone.
This Is IL season OF white, and the
white sweater with the colored skirt
or the white sweater with the white
skirt Is Il combination which has
everything to recommend 1t. II the
wearer needs touch of contrast with
the general whiteness. then put on 3
brilliant hut or wide-brimmed black
one.
Many Of the newer sweaters are
striped In crosswise fashion. When

child blending Into wide and deep
cream-c -cOlored stripes. 1t Is worn with
violet crepe skirt, and together they
form subtle combination that. with
suitable hat, is ready for afternoon
or morning at any country club.
The yellow sweaters have made the
greatest hit OF all, for not only are
they knitted In that most fashionable
of colOrings. but they have cooinesa
and freshness about them that hardly
any other coloring OF wool could hope
to attain In warm weather. There is
saying that wool is cooling during
heated spells. Tint may or may not
be 30, but, ut any rate, the yellow
tones have a way Of looking cool. and
that, after all, Is half the battle.
The Ione.vvais,sd Blouse.
Then there is the long wasted blouse
worn over the hips and from which
the separate skirt hangs In way that
makes 1t a part Of the blouse itself
These are desirable In Jersey and fan,
mel and in some Of the heavier crepe
silks-designated as pastime silkA
These blOuses are more In the nature
Of smOcks, but 1t is interesting to
see that they have become very much
part of the modern wardrobe. In
other words. the smock has really en-.
tered the field Of legitimate fashion AZ
long as 1t Is made with some idea OF
the demand OF real smartness.
For the tweed skirts and those made
Of the lOOser homespun materials, a
well as for the cotton ratine skirts
there are blOuses which reach below
the hips and then button on the skirt
by series Of large pearl buttons. One
Of these Is made Of shantung In the
natural colOring and the bands at
the front are Of blue and green
thick embroidery. The skirt Is one Of
those soft gray heather blues In a
hOmespun weave and 1t buttons to the
shantung bodice In the way just de-
scribed. At the normal waistline q
belt made Of shantung Is attached to
little black bone buckle and drawn
snugly about the waist to give the
blouse shape and form.
For an outfit of this sort there can
be many sorts of blouses-those OF
pique. those OF heavy crepe silk. those
Of shantung made UP In other styleA
But they must all be made with big
buttons SO that they can he attached

Skirts outwsar Waists.
without some sort of separate
blouse no wardrobe can be built along
altogether economical lines, for the
fact remains that skirts wear longer
than any filmy waist. and II we are
to hnve full length dresses without
any notice taken of the separate
waist, then many Of the skirt por-
tions Of our frocks will have to be
cast Into the scrap heap long before
there is any necessity.
