Quaint Party Frocks
Chic for Little Girls

Quaint charm is the keynote of party
frocks designed for the very small per-
son and in the varied modes one finds
that every age and every type of child
hood has been studied and frocks ere
ated that, while adorably simple, never
theleSS emphasize the individuality of
each tiny wearer.
There are straight, slim frocks for
the child just outgrowing the chuhbi-
ness of babyhood and frilly little gowns
to adOrn the plump little person Of
three years and between these two a
wide range adapted to all ages and all
types.
Never have youthful clothes been
more delightful, from the most practi-
cal of jersey play frocks with collars
and cuffs Of plaid or Roman striped
ribbon, TO those brief little affairs OF
taffeta or crepe de chine which appear
on the momentous occasion OF Il birth
day party.
Pastel colOred taffeta and crepe are
used for these little frocks, with many
frills of the material itself or lace rs
trimming.

Use Warm Water and
Ammonia for Windows

Windows are best cleaned with
warm water containing ammonia. But
If the glass has become very dirty a
paste made Of whiting and water,
rubbed on and allowed to dry before
being removed with a soft cloth, will
be found effective. Windows should
never be cleaned when the sun shines
upon them, or they will dry streaky.
A cloth fixed upon a stick is some
times useful when cleaning windows.
There are several preparations made to
prevent the steaming of windows, but
few OF them are successful. The real
remedy is better ventilation.
Window glass is either sheet or
plate, the latter being the more ex.
pensive. Plate glass is much thicker
than sheet glass, and consequently
heavier. Heavy windows are some
what troublesome, but the great adj
vantage Of plate glass is, apart from
the better appearance, that it deadens
sound from outside. A fitted
with plate glass windows is always
much quieter than one in which the
windows are of sheet glass.

Flaring Lines i'm
Knee TX Coat
Fashionable Garment Takes
Place of Long Type and
Short Jacket.

Significant changes have taken place
m the lines Of coats and dresses and,
While Il cursory examination Of the
new styles might lead enc to believe
that last seasons frOck could be Gam
ouilaged by slight changes into a new
model, this is simply Il deceptive Wis
ION, asserts a fashion authority in the
New York Tribune. There is a subtle
widening of the line from the knees,
ana 1t is like the proverbial inch in a
mans stature when one attempts 10
reconcile ii TO last years clothes.
The waistline, too, has moved TO a
new salient. and, since waistlines are
one of fashions significant marks, this
makes a striking difference. The line
OF spring was somewhere in the vicin-
lty of the hips, while this season the
WaiStline occupies a much lower posi-
ton and really becomes a N1bbIe
around the legs or is absent alto
gether.
Another type Of suit that is popular
among the new fashions is the three,
quarter length coat and dress. The
three-quarter length coat returns &c
favor after 30 long a time that the
ilappcrs will not remember them at al
in any measure of popularity. The
knee-length coat lends itself admirably
TO the new flaring lines and is a re
freShing change from the long coat
and the eternal short jacket OF other
seasons. Coats of this type are usually
cut flaring and are trimmed with fur

Window Shades Should
Be Given Consideration

Lace on shades is not usually deSira-
BILE. There are very few houses indeed
which, from the exterior view, are not
positively married by the use Of lace on
shades. 1t makes a great inccngruity
that a trained eye finds very disagree
able. This is particularly true OF lace
edgings; it is also true. although In a
lesser degree, of lace insertion Once
In 4 life's journey we see a house thar
has all the appearance Of Lavender
and old lace" Here lace on shades
might be acceptable.
Holland striped cloth is one Of the
newest introductiOns among materials
used for shades. They are very pleas
ing in appearance and are also pre-
pared in such a manne rs to Withstand
the effects Of weathering. They are.
therefore, safe TO use at windows that
are left open with the shade pulled
down. Except in white houses. white
shades are usually an eyesore from the
outside.
On neither shades nor Grapes should
large figures be used unless the size OF
the room warrants it. Another general
rule to keep in mind when dressing
windows is that the windows should be
so arranged that they may take on a
double character. They are relatively
bright during the day; at night they
should be in. accord with the feeling
that the outside world has gone to
sleep. They should give one the feel
ing of protection, Of h~omeyness. These
effects may be most easily attained by
the use Of double curtain rods. On the
inside one is hung the materials that
are light in weight and color; ON the

that may be drawn completely across
the window.
Curtains will completely spoil beau
tiful proportions Of a window If they
are much longer than the window
frame. If this Is allowed all sense of
proportion is Immediately lost. The
colors Of the heavy Grapes should &C.
cord perfectly with the other fittings
of the room. They should not be spots
they should be a well-blended part of
the room.

TELEPHONE MEN
USE SHARK CAGE
Many Kinds OF Animals Contended
With In Making Repairs.


With In Making Repairs.
II one specimen each of all the va
rtous kinds Of animals which interfere
with telephone service or hamper tele-
phone repair men in their work were
brought together into single exhibit
ton, the result would be one to make
any presiding genius of zoo green
with envy.
There are bears which, mistaking
the humming of wires for the content
ed song of hive of bees, climb the
pole to rob the imaginary insects of
their honey; they are squirrels that
chew holes In the lead sheath of
cables, for no reason in particular;
there are ants and beetles equally
"metalivorous," and there are spiders
which fling their webs across q pair
Of open wires, causing a short circuit
when the gussamerlike strands be-
come saturated with dew.
Contend With Shark.
Also there are sharks, for Il must
be remembered that the telephone line
Is amphibious. 1t operates quite as
well under water as it does when
strung on poles or run through con-
Quits beneath city street-unless, of
course, vessel drags its anchor and
damages the cable, in which case
there are any number Of difficulties
to consider, including-if the cable
happens to be that which connects
Cuba with the United .States-sharks.
One of the three cables Of the
Havana-Key West telephone cable
system was squeezed by an anchor
recently and put out of action by be-
Ing grounded. Service continued, of
course-that Is the reason for the
three calbles-but engineers Of three
companies were Immediately set to
work locating the break and repairing
1t. Delicate electrical apparatus de-
tected the location Of the trouble. 1t
was found to be just beyond the
mouth of Havana harbor.
Difficult Matter.
A piece Of damaged cable sixty feet
in length had to be cut out and new
section to replace it brought by boat
from Key West. Picking up the ends
of the cable was difficult and hazard
Gus matter. Professional divers, ia
miliar with the habits of sharks, do
not relish too close an association
with them at the depth at which it
was necessary to work in this case.
Finally a shark-proof cage of iron
was constructed, and Havana
diver succeeded in bringing up the
end Of the cable so that the work of
splicing could be undertaken. Before
nightfall service had been restored.
This cable is specially constructed
to afford protection against breaks,
and this was the first interruptioa Of
service since the submarine line was
opened April, 1921.
