q repaired by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Clothing for children should be of
the simplest kind, says the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
should permit absolute freedom of
movement, hanging chiefly from the
shoulders, and permitting the child to
bend over freely, squat on the ground,
kick, run, climb, or otherwise indulge
in the activity natural to a growing
boy or girl Rompers for very little
children, and bloomer dresses or sep
arate knickers and blouses. for those a
little older are, as a rule, the most
practical from the standpoint of the
chilG's comfort and appearance, and a
minimum amount of laundering. Elab-
crate designs are unsuitable at any
time for active young children. Chill
dren should not be conscious of their
clothing either from a sense Of dis
comfort, or from vanity or embarrass-
metlt. Washable materials are prefer
able for children's clothing, until they
are old enough to take some response
bility for keeping their clothes clean.
Where extra warmth Is necessary,
washable wooden materials may be Sc
1ected, such as serge, flannel, or
challis, but most mothers find that it
pays best to use wooden underwear
and cotton or linen dresses, with
sweaters and leggings for extra
warmth when the children go out. A
set of cover-all aprons made on the
'kimono" pattern will be found very
practical for use when children are
playing in the house or yard either
after school or when they are too lit
tie to go to school. Oilcloth or rubber
bibs for very little children can be
easily made and will lessen the num-
Der Of garments to be washed.
Garments Made at Home.
A large part Of the clothing for
girls can always be made at home,
and many garments may be mode for
boys as long as they wear washable
clothes. Boys knickers for play,

Designs of Gold and
Silver Here to Stay

The charms of silver and gold, as
applied to dress, show no signs Of
abatement. At first we took the appli-
cation of metal to our gowns with more
or less amusement and not the least
show Of seriousness. We used it in a
spirit of indulgence. Then we began
to see how really distinguished our
gowns appeared. Now, as we look
about at the passing winter styles and
the coming ones for spring, we see in
Vulnerable touches of metal ond some
frocks and costumes made solely Of
this material.
Metal stuffs are charming in many
more ways than one. They have a
way of touching up a dress whenever
so little a quantity is used so that it
looks much more worthy of public at
tention than it did before the glittering
trimming was added. They need no
trimmings. They cannot stand extra
decorations. They are sufficient In
themselves.
During the last winter the best
dressed women in New York wore
metal frocks for evening. One was
able to pick them out as the most
stunning Of all the women in any room
full of people. And in every instance
the metal gowns were made SO that
their own materials were the center
and the all of the gowns design. Now
that the spring styles are being shown
at the American designers places, we
see these metal materials appearing
constantly in the collections-sure
proof that the style is not going to lay
down in it's hands just because spring
is here, but that It has decided to go
right on with its expression.

HOUSEKEEPER WOULD
HAVE IDEAL LAUNDRY
Running Water and Modern Labor
Saving Devices Cannot Always
Be Provided.
prepared by the United States Department
of ARriculture.l

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
The ideal of every housekeeper
would be separate room for her faun-
dry with running water and modern
labor-saving devices. These cannot be
provided in every home, but even
where the arrangement and equipment
are necessarily very simple it is often
possible to make minor changes or to
plan the work in such a way that it
will take less time and strength.
In olden days, tubs and wash
benches were brought into the kitchen
because water could be heated there
most conveniently, and from this
seems to have developed the idea that
the kitchen is the place for the laun-
dry. The doors and steam from laun-
dry work, however, are disagreeable
in a kitchen, and the handling Of
soiled clothing in any room in which
food is prepared is highly objection
able. If clothes must be washed in
the kitchen the preliminary sorting
should be done elsewhere.
In some sections 1t Is considered
preferable to have the washing done
cut of doors or in a room outside of
the house. Otherwise the best place
for a laundry is usually either in
room next to the kitchen or in base
ment room directly below 1t, because
this makes it possible to use the same
chimney and If the house is equipped
with running water the same water
pipes for both rooms. A basement
laundry generally means too many
stairs for the housewife, while room
adjoining the kitchen may enable her
much more easily to carry on or over
see the work in both rooms at the
same time.
Good lighting is necessary for good
laundry work, and tubs and ironing
board should be so placed that the
light comes from the side. Doors and
windows should be arranged to give
the thorough ventilation especially
