COMFORT IS
ESSENTIAL
FOR CHILD
Clothes Should Be
Modifie q To Fit
All Their Peculiar
Demands.

VERY good plan IN
n making little boys suits
- is always To make two
pairs Of trousers for every
SmOck or shirt. Better still,
says one mother, is t0 make
three pairs of trousers that
may he worn with two smocks,
because the two trousers really
DO outlast the one Smock.
This does not mean making All
alike. Often an extra pair Of
trousers made from plain blue
kindergarten cloth will 90 well
with different sorts Of shirts or
smOckS.
There is never the least bit n
economy in getting cheap shoes
for children. The story goes that
IN one family w six children en-
regular custom IL 20 buy one. pair
OK shoes each week and each week
to have one pair Of shoes repaired.
That ear that each pair xxi
shoes lasts but six weeks-and in
that time needs repairing once
Now you may depend upon Il. the
shoes bought were very cheap.
Take time 10 find some sort of
shoe that Avn made uf excellent
leather. II may cost a dollar CT
two more. but will probably Inst
twice as long.
If your children have short arms
take the trouble 10 hem back the
cuffs on their winter shirts so that
when worn they viii not slip down.

fCOLORS FOR
OUTDOORS
| ARE VARIED
Light Tones May Be
Used By the Very
Young, Even for
Winter.

EUR wraps are usually not
practical for very little
folk, though this year
there are charming little coats
of lapin that may tempt you.
Fur coats are not practical
for everyday wear and to
wear a fur coat at one time
of day and a cloth coat at an
other is a rather bad plan.
There is much to be said in
favor of leather for coats and
leggingS for small children.
Leather is not heavy and il
does not itself give much
warmth. Its role IS to keep
out wind and TO give to the
clothing worn beneath a
chance to produce the great
est possible warmth. A good
quality leather coat with a
number of sweaters of varying
weightS-to wear on different
days-provides a child with
outdoor apparel that is suit
able for any weather condi-
tons
Bear in mind that leather
is not actually rainproof-
though it keeps out dampnesS-
There should be a waterproof
also in the wardrobe Of the
young child who braves all
weatherS in his outings.
The color Of outdoor
clothes for young children
should and usually does de-
pend upon the role they are
to fill. Play-time and every
day clothes for the toddlers
should be of some substantial
color.
There are browns that are be-
coming 10 both biue-eyed and
brown-eyed children. and that ars
preferred 20 any OF the blue shades
because OF the warmer quality Of
their tone. This season there are
several shades between brown and
red-rust colors not unlike the old
time henna-that are a good selec-
ton tn they prove becoming.

How to Choose

hanging the curtains Is in itself q
most interesting task.

the choice Of material.

who was buying ~cretonne and

which the light will shine be sure
70 get something that does not
