Suit Must Always
Be Kept Immaculate

The American woman knows how to
wear a suit. Nevertheless, there are
some who need to be reminded of the
Importance of caring for suits il they
are to look well throughout the season.
To begin with, of course, comes the
matter Of keeping the suit spotless.
This Is necessity, and it is not often
overlooked-never by the faStidious
woman. Little spots that as a matter
OF course do sometimes get on the suit
that is worn constantly NAV be removed
at home very often. Gasoline or chloro-
form is the best agent for removing

the possibility that these agents viii
leave marks OF their own. On the man
nlsh suit Of blue serge or twill, it Is best
just TO use soap and water to sponge on
any spot-a bland, white soap. nat
urally, not strong laundry soap.
II your suit looks "spotty" don't try
TO clean it yourself. Send it TO the pro.
feSsional cleaner and he will put It In
spotless condition for a reasonable
amount. Then vow to do anything
short Of tucking your napkin in your
bodice to keep the suit free from
further spots.
Next in point Of Importance comes
the matter Of keeping q suit perfectly
pressed, always. This YOU can do at
home. so far as the skirt Ia concerned !,
ANY Intelligent maid can master the
art OF pressing a suit skirt, and you
can do 1t yourself quite satisfactorily

BY MARY MARSHALL.

"HE most striking of recent fash
ion changes have in the very
nature of things done much
4 more to modify women'S clothes
than those of their little daugh-
ters. These are long skirts and de-
fined waistlines. So far from being af-
fected by the fashion for longer skirts
In wpmens clothes, little girls skirts
have remained almost as short as ever
and though little dresses are made
somewhat more trim about the waist
they do not, of course, greatly reflect
the nodded silhouette.
Another new development in fash
ions, namely the hared skirt, is much
more evident, for, by means of pleats,
gathers, panels or actual cores, most
Of the new children's dresses show a
tendency to flare toward the hemline
IN genaral, too, fashions for children
a reflect the present tendency toward
picturesqueness and greater becoming
ness. And there is at present consid-
erably more difference between the
clothes worn, let us say, by the two
year-old and the five-year-old, and be-
tween the five-year-old and the ten
year-old, the ten-year-old and the girl
Of Is than there was four or five years
ago when short, straight-line clothes
were the rule for girls of all ages.
For the very little girl, coats as well
rs dresses frequently flare slightly
from the shoulder or from q short yoke
The most becoming place for the
waistline for the girl Of six or eight
IS slightly below normal, while for the
girl Of eleven or twelve the normal or
slightly higher than normal waistline
is appropriate.
IF there Is any one secret Of smart
ness in children's clothes it is sim
plcity. And because one has, as 1t
were, a smaller canvas on which to
work, it Is necessary to use O simpler
color scheme and q less complicated
plan of decoration than Is essential In
adult ensembles.
Accessories of dress for children
should harmonic in an obvious way.
The outdoor costume is most effective
when the hat Is of the same color and
shade as the coat. Often 1t Is of the
same material
A smart tweed coat for everyday
wear Is made with a beret Of the same
tweed: Made Of a brown tweed mix
ture, this coat and hat should be worn
with beige hose, sturdy brown shoes
and washable beige or brown gloves,
a DECIDEDLY smart costume for
"A the girl OF ten or twelve consists
OF . tweed-effect jersey dress with
matching tweed beret and q solid
toned, hip-length, cardigan coat. A
gray and red tweed mixture is worn
with bright red cardigan, while
brown and beige are combined with
solid brown.
Even for rainy weather, the we'll
dressed little girl has a well-matched
ensemble. She wears q rubberized
tweed raincoat with matching beret
and small umbrella which may be
bought IN rose, blue or green.

Loose Clothes for Child

it isr better TO have this slight defect on
q coat that Is to be worn for play than
TO have the special-occasion coat look
doWdy, all year because 1t is too large.
It Is . simple matter TO allow little
extra material In dresses that you make,
yourself. A row OF fine tucks in the
skirt viii serve the purpose admirably,
as these may be taken out as extra
length is needed. So also tucks may be
made in the sleeves or they may be cut
trtde long, with the extra material
hidden within the = . cuffs; I
I ETTTNG down or turning up skirt
hem seems like q simple bit of
home sewing and yet the whole effect
OF new dress Is sometimes spoiled be-
cause this job Is done badly
This season most Of the ready-made
cloth suit and dress skirts are made
with generous hem for the benefit of
tall women. The fairly heavy woolen
material Is usually hemmed up In this
way. A strip Of straight silk seam bind
ing Is stitched to the raw edge Of the
bottom Of the skirt, which IL then
turned up to the desired length and the
hem Is made by hand sewing through
the silk binding and catching through
the outside Of the dress. In this way
turned under and the top of the hem,
when pressed, shows no bulge as would
be the case sc the material had been
turned under.
In order to make the turned-up ma
terial lie in position. you should make
the silk binding o. trifie tight and ease
the edge OF the material into 1t. This
Is done because, with q shaped or far
ing skirt the line around the skirt
where the top Of the hem occurs IS a
tr1fie scantier than the measurement Of
the skirt at the bottom before the ma
terial is turned back.
II you have tweed skirt that needs
letting out as much as possible 1t will
doubtless occur to you to use Q facing.
That Is good plan, but it may not oc-
cur to you that the facing Is better II
made OF lightweight matching woolen
material than 1t is II made Of silk Cut

lowing or inches to turn up. Stitch
1t along the bottom Of the skirt so that
the edges OF the seam are out of sight
when the hem is turned UP and sew
q strip OF silk seam binding to the top
OF the facing. drawing the silk tape q
little tight 80 that 1t will not need to be
laid IN pleats when 1t Is sewed into
position. If by chance you have
drawn the silk binding too tight, snip
the edge with the scissors here and
there and pull 1t so that it breaks q
little to prevent its drawing the mate.

using a slightly moistened cloth be-

Pajamas Look Like
New Evening Dress

Some of the new lounging pajama
costumes look almost like evening
dresses. They are so full, as you know,
that they look like skirts instead Of
trousers half the time, and they are
made, IS far as bodice is concerned,
very much like evening dresses.
With the sleeveless, deeply decollete
pajamas there Is usually Q coat, Just as
there are little velvet jackets to wear

frock.
One lovely pajama costume Is made
with trousers and long-sleeved coat Of
deep blue velvet and sleeveless blouse.
with straps tied in perky little knots
on the shoulders of pale pink satin.
Another costume has trousers and
blouse of satin, with long-sleeved jacket
OF velvet, in pastel tones, with the
jacket Q darker shade than the other
pieces.
Sometimes the blouses have trimming
bands to match the trousers and Some-
times they have applique designs of
very modern-looking flowers Of the
trouser material.

~ BSEHVING Europeans often
comment on the fact that
American children wear theil
~ clothes too loose and the
criticism Is in many cases well
founded. without letting our little
girls and boys wear clothes that are as
closely fitted Is those worn by some
Europeans we can certainly add to the
smartness Of their appearance by per-
mitting them to wear suits, dresses and
coats that are not too obviously o stze
or two too large.
One reason for this state Of affairs
Is that some mothers are fiattered to
think that their children are large for
their ages. They like to buy 10-year-
old sizes for an 8-year-old girl and then
persuade themselves that q smaller size
would have been too tight.
More often the larger sizes are chosen
because the mother wants to be sure
that dress or coat will do for q Sec
ond season, with the result that many
children look distinctly better dressed
when they are wearing their old clothes
than when they are dressed in clothes
that are new. 1t often happens that
a dress or jacket or coat actually wears
out before 1t is small enough to look its
best.
NATURALLY one wants to allow
= some margin for lengthening limbs
and broadening shoulders, but 1t Is quite
possible to do this by providing deep
hens and by taking generous seams If
you buy q Winter coat this year and
expect to use 1t for a year or 80 to
come, you may wisely choose a size that
Is q little large. If the skirt Of the
coat Is too long for sInartness take It
up few inches, leaving the extra ma
terial under the coat lining, and take
up the sleeves trifle without cutting
of the extra material. Then when the
coat becomes too small In It's altered
condition you can let 1t out. Possibly
