hand-me-downs. Anyway, what's
the use of trying with ready-mades
available that are amazingly prac-
teal and inexpensive and so alto
gether attractive little folks delight
in them.
With play clothes for youngsters
and pretty frocks for little daughter
being sold "for a song" these days,
the idea of making over loses much
of it's zest However, what is being
done in this modernized world of
ours is that mothers of good judg
ment are entrusting the matter of
Quitting their children to skilled
designers who make a study of
juvenile apparel needs not only
from a style standpoint, but from
a view to real economy and prac-
ticality.
In line with the thought that chill
dren's fashions be given as sincere
and careful consideration as those
of grownups, it is becoming a Gus
tom in leading style centers to hold
fashion shows devoted exclusively
to the little folks. The cunning
spring styles here pictured were
shown recently at a style clinic pre-
scented in the Merchandise Mart of
Chicago, before an appreciative
gathering of visiting merchants.
The handsome coat worn by the
girl to the right in the picture is
tailored of a Kenwood tweed in a
charming berry-red tone. 1t is the
smart new princess type that is an
outstanding favorite this season.
The white silk pique collar tells you
that white accents on dark is most

important trend for spring. Here
you see the ensemble idea carried
out in a matching beret that comes
with the coat, thus happily solving
mothers problem of hating little
daughter fashionably and becoming
ly. Her wee companion is in navy
blue, with bonnet matched to her
cunning coat.
There's something about a soldier
and about military influenced
clothes that lends smartness and
proves alluring to young misses as
we'll as to sentimental big sister.
The little lady to the left in the
group wears one of the new mill
tary-type cape suits such as prom
Use widespread vogue this season.
The suit is of alert blue wool with
fitted jacket in bright red. The long
cape theme is highly important.
This ensemble is so completely
matched up it includes a military
looking hat with a red feather with
a handbag worked out in the red
and the blue.
And now for cunning fashions for
junior and his buddy for little boys
take delight in smart attire every
whit as much as does little sister.
Whistle while you walk, if it's in
coats like these; think these two
young men whom you see pictured
in the group. The whistler in the
foreground wears a cancels hair
Manufactured, double-breasted coat
and his pal wears a green tweed
double-breasted coat with slit pock-
cts. Caps to match their wear. Too
cunning for words!

Mr.. Twitchell thinks there will be

To serve it's purpose, sauce must
complement the food-rather than
Disgusting it. That means subtle
seasoning, and just the right con-
sistency.
Plain white sauce-the standby of
so many cooks-should seldom be
served "as is" It's a foundation,
really, which is quite likely to be
flat in flavor, and very much too
thick! Judiciously seasoned, it can
be used in dozens of different ways.
Flavor it with sharp, grated cheese,
or add condensed tomato soup to it,
for character; use drop or two of
Worcestershire or a half teaspoon
of prepared mustard; or-and this
is a secret we might well borrow
from our French cousins-substitute

 WILL KNOW
 The main thing for prospective draftees under the selective service act is to remember that the law makers are trying to devise a way to protect them, so they will not be financially crippled by giving serv-. ice to their country.
 They should watch the Water bury Democrat to see whether the bill becomes law and what its pro- visions are.
