difficulty that some Americans find
with this fashion for very short skirts
for little girls is that they are hardly
compa tible with long stockings, much
less flannel underclothes. Even in
severe climates some little American
girls can with apparently no baneful
results go through the Winter months
with short socks and bare knees. fol
lowing the well established English
and French precedent. Long stockings
and coy underdrawers certainly have
no place in fashions They are no
more taken into account by fashion
than is long hair for women with the
miliners. At best all the cautious
mother can do is to strike d com
promise and wait for warmer weather,
when bare legs are as sensible and
comfortable as they are smart.
Every day frocks for very little girls
usually include boomers or straight,
short pantaloons. For older girls the
frOcks are usually worn with heavy
silk or wooden knitted boomers.
Party frocks and light Summer
frocks are usually worn with dainty
lace-trimmed or embroidered boomers
or drawers, with possibly lace
trimmed petticoat or slip besides.
In selecting party frocks the
mother should remember that while
party frock for her older daughter
may mean a dancing frock, the little
girls party frock usually means a
romping frock. The mothers prob
lem is then to select a frock that is
dainty and in a measure picturesque
and at the same time not too
fragile. Taffeta and georgette are the
favorite materials at present for party
frocks, though some conservative
mothers cling to linen, NULL batiste
and other washable materials.
Little girls are usually able to wear

almost any light colors with good eff
feet, though undoubtedly each little
girl has some one color that is most
becoming. Some pink checked blondes
are positively radiant in green and
white. Blue-always becoming to the
slue-eyed blonde-sometimes magnifies
the loveliness of little brown-eyed
brunette. Yellow, which is usually
becoming only to brunettes among
adults. sometimes proves the most
charming color for some golden-haired
children. Clear, obvious light tones
are becoming to children but some
times the more sophisticated blended
tones may be worn with charming
effect. Primrose, mauve or turquoise
blue are used quite bit for children 5
frocks at present.
Irish lace has been revived as a
trimming for children's frocks, and
appears as edging or insertion in
trimming washable white frocks or
may be used in white to trim light
colored georgette. Sometimes detach-
able little collars and cuffs of Irish
lace are to be found on cloth or silk
frOcks, providing a detail which makes
for neatness and freshness.
White collars and cuffs. often trim

work, are more prevalent on little
girls frocks than was the case a sea l.
son or so ago. In light or washable
frooks these are attached to the frocks
but in darker frocks or those that
cannot be washed these little trim
mings are frequently detachable.
For the more substantial sort of
party frock or the more ornate sort

printed linens that are used to some
extent at present. Printed satin is

But just because YOU do not take

should not take an intelligent in

The new clothes for children show
even fewer changes than do those of

one of the new materials well adapted
to the quaint type of little girls
frock. All these new printed materials
for children are of sort rather diff
ferent from those appropriate for
adults They may he quite as striking
and colorful. but there is sort of
naive simplicity about the design that
not only provides them with strong
appeal to the little girls who wear
them but renders them more suitable
for youthful frocks. Realistic red
cherries with green stems appear on
the light background of one printed
material. Animals familiar to the
eyes of children may be worked into
the design of another material. Some
times there are clearly defined bou-
Quets of familiar garden flowers.
Cottons of rather substantial weave
are chosen for everyday clothes and
there are printed piques that are ex-
cellent for this purpose. Cotton
broadcloth is a wash material that
wears extremely we'll and chambray
is a material that never seems TO go
out of favor. In spite of the many
attractive cotton materials to choose
from. Bingham continues to hold It's
prominent place in the children'S
wardrobe. Plaids have come into
prominence as trimmings for chill
drens forcks and in no sort of cotton
material are plaids so well produced
as in ginghams. Some of the new
everyday frocks show a plain colored
material trimmed with Bingham plaid.
For light frocks of the sort that
will be chosen for party wear this
Spring many old-time favorites have
been revived Dotted Swiss and dimity
are seen and some of the dimities
show picturesque printed floral de-
signs.

girls clothes are very expensive and

Girls need more clothes and there is

This interesting outdoor paStime is
played by mounting a board six feet
long upon stump which stands about
two feet high and placing the nine
pins in a row on top of the board, each
six inches apart.
Two or more contestants play the
game at one time. The stump should
be close to clay bank or snow bank,
so that the arrows sent will not go
far. Pace off 20 steps from the stump
away from the back stop. then draw
a line in the snow or ground. All

Ordinary bolts can be used. but the

 DROWNED IN BAY

Tn answer to their recent letter to Reverend Graham. in which they con- veyed their sincere thanks to the peo- pie of Seward for their part in the funeral service of their son and broth CT. drowned in Resurrection Bay, MT. Graham has written to Mrs. Freeda Byerly, the mother, and Mrs. Robert Jacobs, IT., most sympathetic an- swer.
 In an endeavor to learn accurate dates and other information relative to the sad case in which three boys were drowned last month, ny Mir Graham from The Gateway, it was learned that such letter was being written and it was the privilege of the editor to peruse 1t.
 Ii was a letter which will be treas ured bv the recipients; letter which will bring tears of gratefullness, ten der memories; letter which The Gate way would indeed feel especially bonored to reprint in It's entirety Tn tt Reverend Graham dwelled on the services on board the ship, pfctunng the scene of Seward girls slowly scat tering flowers over the beautlfui waters of Resurrection Bay; and or tba tears which fell. Legends of the hay were related, and the scenery surrounding the last resting place of the boys. In ending he wrote of the everlasting work they performed, mon uments of safety for those who follow in future years.
 Throughout the reading of the let ter it was borne home to the editor of the work performed by the clergy aside from the pulpit; 3 Wondenul work indeed such as this letter he has written. The happiness of the mother and sister after reading the letter VIII soften the sudden, tragic death of their boy and in doing that alone 2 wondrous labor of love has been per formed.
