The idea that the poor should be
given pleasure in addition to material
relief was not yet part Of such social
agencies programs. At least 1t did not
enter their plan for poor women. To
show these unfortunates how to MAKE
some of their family burdens lighter
was deemed enough.

1t is just taken for granted that she
shall have her evening out for bridge
as much as her husband shall go out
to bowl or swim.
She is no more expected to use her
occasional evening away from home in
class learning how to make children'S
underwear than a father is expected
to devote all his spare time to being
shown how to make home furniture.
To be sure, a new day which makes

~ PECIAL dress for children is oi
fairly recent origin. 1t was prac.
tically unthought of here and In
~ Europe before the French Revo-
luton, and In Japan, China and
other Oriental countries today children
dress approximately like their parents.
Having graduated from Swaddllng
clothes, they dress like adults There
Is no alternative.
One has only to look at old prints
and paintings to see how adult fashions
were once adapted to the needs OF chill
dren. The only difference at all was
apparently one of size.
All through the nineteenth century
fashions for both boys and girls differed
substantially from those of men and
women And now as We come TO the
close of the third decade of the twentieth
century we see less difference in the
clothes of little girls and of women
not because little girls clothes have
become more formal, more stilted or
less childish but because women's
fashions have become less formal less
stilted and more childish.
Generally speaking, the changes in
fashions for children are less numerous
than those in fashions for women, and
usually radical change in fashion tone
rs not adopted for children's apparel
until it has become fairly well estab-
NShed for women.
And SO we find that though expert
RentS are being made with the skirt
length of women's fashions. skirts for
little girls remain decidedly Short-quite
Is short as they have been for many
years. There is little difference in the
position of the waistline. For play and
school clothes it is usually placed fairly
low II there is any waiStline whatever,
~ be nf riPfI1rPSnt1H
sort it is placed at an almost normal
position
In Paris skirts for little girls are
shorter than ever If such a thing were
possible.
Visiting Americans look on in wonder
at the sturdy French children who dis
play as long a stretch of bare leg and
thigh in Winter as in Summer. There
is at least the comfort that they are &C
customed to this sort of exposure and
that they do wear undergarmentS of
coy wool-brief though they may be.
Younger children in France some
times wear leather leggings, as do
Younger children in this country who
follow the bare-legged fashion in cold
weather But the newest leggingS are
made so that they extend or 4 inches
above the knee, but still miss connec-
tions with the very brief garments that
French children wear in place of bloom
ers. There IS little flare at the top of
these leather leggings that makes them
look decidedly jaunty.
Frocks for little girls this season are
made as often as not straight from the
shoulder. Long blouSed effects leave
room for nothing more than short ruf-
f1e by way of skirt.
There is an increasing fashion for the
basque type of frock, especially for party
wear. These little basques are rather
close fitting, extend very little, if at ALL
below the normal waistline and are fin
tshed with gathered or ruffled skirts.

Guest Room of Charm.

/ toning up to welcome degree the
finely grained oak flooring.
Spool turned legs are a captivating
feature of the antique bedside table OF a
mellow gold maple. And, as if to further
carry out the illusion of antiquity a
spindle and thread along with a frosted
glass lamp are placed on the table.
Delightful electric fixtures are hung on
the side wall in perfect imitation Of the
way candles diffuSed their soft light
once upon time. The modern piece
is of wrought iron, having a reflector in
back and a small protector dangling
over the top as If to protect the CELL
ing. above from the heat.
On this same side of the room stands
a maple Windsor chair, a rather rustic
type of comeback. In the corner near
this chair is the chest of drawers.
This also shows reproduction of
extreme simplicity in outline, with oval
brass handles. A nicely balanced array
of accessories brings further attention
to this corner, especially the choice of
the glass and alabaster lamp bases. At
the same time the red binding and
picture outlines on the two amber
colored parchment shades echoes the
red in the bedspread. A crystal per-
fume bottle, a picture and beruff1ed
brush and comb are the other life
giving touches reflected by the simple
colonial mirror with picture of a
coach-and-four on 1t.
An OPPORTUNITY placed window at the
left allows ample light to filter through
its warm beige curtains. These are di-
vided into upper and lower sections
so they can be drawn aside individually.
Doors leading to porch on the OPP
posite wall are similarly curtained,
blending in with the soft, creamy sur
face of the woodwork. The walls them
selves are also reminiscent of the past,
covered with an old yellow paper pat
termed in dull green conventional
leaf design.
To capture the fancy of her feminine
guests this hostess selects one of those
delectable folding powder or vanity
tables to occupy the fourth cornor of
this room. It's top, divided into thirds,
reveals the middle section swung to-
ward the back and faced with mirror.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Monday, January 81.

1t will be we'll tomorrow to be eau
tious. according to astrology, which
reads in the stars certain sinister
influences.
The early morning is an suspicious
time to plan any sort of active work,
for then the mind should have a spe-
cial clearness of vision.
Under this planetary government all
standardized or routine work should be
pushed with great energy, but 1t is not
wise to start any new enterprise.
Lawyers have the forecast of a busy
year in which there will be legal cases
of world note.
Educators are subject to kindly aid
from the stars, for they must meet
many problems that cannot be ignored.
At this time it would seem that an
unusual gap extends between BRAIN
workers and those who have trained
hands
The stars appear to presage more
contentment among the intellectualS
and less among those who belong to the
ranks of industry.
This Is read as a promising rule for
inventions Of various sorts. and again
discoveries In the occult world are fore
told

water and the air on the physical plane.
will now turn scientific attention to the
spiritual forces of which he has be-
come recently more keenly aware than
in any other age, the seers proclaim.
There Is menacing sign for a branch
Of the industrial world, and labor will
have cause for dissatisfaction.
Leaders who have passed the meridian
OF life and who represent past attain
mentS in science. the arts and industry
will pass on in great numbers this year,
which will practically divide all that
pertains to the past from the present,
astrologers foretelI.
LandslideS and seismic shocks, as well
as heavy storms, may be expected from
now on until Spring Is far advanced.
Many destructive fires, wiping out valu-
able city properties, are prognosticated.
Persons whose birth date 1t is have
the augury year in which they may
expect prosperity. Elders will favor
them. The stars presage for them
financial security.
Children born on that day probably
will be successful in their chosen voca-
tons. Many Of the subjects of this sign,
Aquarius, have more interest In the past
than IN the present. They are fond of
history and'of antiques of every sort.

The mother also found out that the
usual way of serving milk was in half
pint bottle with a straw. Hence young
Jack developed Discrimination to drink
fluids at home He said it took less time
to suck milk through a straw.
Quick lunch service of this sort is apt
to have bad effect on any ones man
ners. In the simplest meal served at
home in leisure and quietnesS there is
opportunity and need for more atten-
ton to table manners and, indeed. II
we all acquired the manner of the quick
lunch place, eating would soon become

In one way good manners In the
crowded lunchroom are more in de-
mand than anywhere else, for there the
young business man and woman have
to eat at crowded tables where they
cannot but observe and be annoyed by
the bad manners of others.

Vogue for White Passes

and corn color, rose and blue, green and
even gray. Horrible!
Well, there are still some persons
who don't like colored sheets. But in
spite of them the vogue is growing.
They are popular enough now so that
they are offered in reasonably priced
grades.
When they first came into vogue, they
were not available over the counter.
We heard of them in Paris-they were
woven to order, apparently. Some
American women had them made by
hand out of crepe de chine or linen,
sewed together in strips to make them
wide enough.
But now one can buy them in linen
or cotton, in all the lovely shades OF
the rainbow.
And then there are colored hand
kerchiefs which are such matter OF
commonplace that We think nothing
of them.
And coiored table linen. So lovely
| that even women with a decided White
complex are coming to look with favor
on it. Snowy napery may soon be
just a byword reminiscent of time
that is gone.
