1t is we'll on the whole to know as

to speak right out and thrash out the

Don't make the old-fashioned mis-
take that what children say does not

1t is no longer possible to dominate

they are old enough to think they
become part OF the great democracy
of childhood and the other children
count.
They count so much that when you
are placing the children In school

Aprons on Frocks May Be Paletots
ny ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

we think of transformation frocks
and reversible wraps as something
quite modern. Likewise we regard
presto change furniture as some
thing characteristic of the twentieth
century-Chester1e that are beds
by night. dressing tables that fold
up with all the appurtenances of the
toilet and serve for little incidental
tables when need be, refrigerators
that do duty as kitchen tables. and
so on.
But really and truly this double
service idea is as old as the hllls
bed of the middle ages served as
settee and lounge by day, and the
doughty knight never needed
drinking cup so long as he had his
helmet. Convertible frocks of some
sort or other were quite usual in the,
period There were lined tunics and
wraps that could be worn either side
up and the good wife usually wore
overskirts that could be worn full
and long in the street and iooped up,
f1sh,wife fashion, when there was
work to be done--thus getting rid
OF clumsy fullness and length at the
ankles and protecting the outside Of
tho skirt from wear and spotting.
The habit of some of the religious
orders of the present day retains this
overskirt that may be looped up, long
sleeves that may be turned down to
keep the hands warm in cold weather
or turned &back to give greater free
dom indoors--details all that were
commonplaces in women's costumes
in the day when these religious or
ders were founded
SO that reversible wraps and
transformation frocks devised by
the French dressmakers at the
present are merely reyivals. In re-
cent collections shown in Paris
Bechoff had many of these. There
was a reversible coat with one side
black velvet and the other covered
much-talked-of apron frock-the
little sleeveless paletds. the pocket
Sits serving as armholes. One such
frock was made of black satin en-
broidefed in gold. blue and lacquer
red with landings of seal. The
paletot-apron is of the black satin
similarly trimmed.
Then there are scarf frocks-the
scarf to be use$ as sort of gypsy
sash or knotted around the neck.
The large decorative handk erchief
flowing with studied negligence from
the pocket Of one of the new navy
blue coat frocks may be quickly and
easily converted into knotted neck
erchief when cool breeze blows.

feathery ones between. They will

they do not survive the very bitter
cold. The roots are so exposed in a
box that they rarely live, though their
foliage remains bright until spring.
Branches of hemlock, without roots,

Many home makers believe there

when they can have bounteously filled
window boxes at their sills. They
know the charm of early pink Eng
Iish daisies and pansies. and per-
haps follow these with jonquils, DAFT

spring blossoms fade. they replace
them with the summers red or pink
geraniums. petunias, ageratum and
trailing vines.
But there is a window-box plan for
every season OF the year; autumn and
winter as well as spring and summer.
Now is the time ko take out the

grown rather rusty-looking, anyway
