Playfellows for Jack Frost {
i When the first snow flies, children
greet the big, fluttering flakes as if
they were playfellows—banished and
returned. The snow comes swarming
down and the youngsters send up
shouts of joy, meeting it with the same
zest that awaits the first robin and the
earliest flowers. They love the chang
ing year in which every month has a
new charm for them, and it is a pity
fchat this frame of mind should ever
change. They take all kinds of weath
er as a matter of course and, if
dressed to be comfortable, will face
rain or shine with equal cheerfulness.
Considering the advantages of keep
ing them in the open air for as many
hours of the twenty-four as possible,
the matter of winter clothes is to be
considered with this idea in mind. No
one doubts the tonic of the cold—it is
required to produce hardy men and
women—so the important thing is to
dress the children to be comfortable
while they are out of doors in freezing
weather. Headwear, footwear and un
derthings must all be reckoned with,
and, above all, the coat that forms the
outer wall of the citadel when cold at
tacks.
There is nothing quite equal to nat
/^ural skins to insure comfort in the
coldest climates, but they are not
needed elsewhere. Muskrat, squirrel,
rabbit and other plentiful pelts are
u^(ed for children’s coats, but they are
out of reach of the mother who be
lieves in being conservative in ex
penditures for children. Even the low- i
ly and plentiful rabbit’s generous con
tribution of pelts hasn’t brought down
the high cost of fur coats; a little coat
of rabbit skin sells for more than a
hundred dollars. Fur fabrics and es
pecially wool furs, make very warm
coats and none of these textile furs
are woven in patterns especially suited
to children’s wear. But the bulk ol
coats for coldest weather are made ot I
heavy woolen materials and lined with
close-woven but lighter wool fabrics
or with other substantial linings. Chin
chilla, astrachan and rough-surfaced
woolens are warm and durable and
corduroy is an attractive fabric that
has the same virtues. The coat phown
at the right of the two pictured is the
type liked for everyday wear.
The little coat at the left is a dressy
affair of velveteen made with blouse
and skirt and has a "wide cape collar
and band cuffs of beaver plush. It is
a handsome garment and the fabrics
are sturdy and warm. Labor is the
most expensive element in coats and a
coat of this kind made at home will
cost about half the price the shops
must get for it. The heavy cloths for
everyday wear are more difficult for
the amateur to work with and it is
doubtful that any saving w’orth while
can be gained by attempting them ai
home.
r Blouse* Style's Favored for Evening Wear
It is evident that blouses and smocks
are aspiring to rival evening frocks
and the chances are that they are go
ing to succeed. There is no end to
the fanciful ways in which they are
made and nothing is too extravagant
tu the way of trimming them. For din
ner and theater wear they have ad
vantages and they appear in bFilliant
and light colors, and in combinations
of two colors in materials, with dec
orations that call into play many ad
ditional hues. The peplum blouse, the
apron Jdouse and the smock have a
gay future ahead of them.
Georgette crepe, chiitou and net
with Chantilly and gold-run laces new
ly recruited in their company are the
filmy mediums in which evening
blouses are’made. Worn with skirts
of black satin they achieve a toilette
that may be worn with assurance.
Among color combinations, emer
ald or even more vivid greens with
black are distinctive. Copper colored
\ crepe with gold lace, champagne with
[ black embroidery, peacock blue and
j light green show the fondness for vir
ile^lblors. There is a new sort of dec
oration that looks like the finest bead
work done in many colors. But it is
a sort of paint put on in dots set close
together and appears in motifs on
girdles of georgette like the biouse.
Blouses in one color are enlivened
with rich girdles of gold or silver bro
cade. Embroideries in silk and in
beads, often used together, and oc
casionally mock jewels and gold tissue
confess that nothing is too splendid
for the blouse which is to be worn In
the evening, and narrow bands of dark
fur find themselves placed to the best,
advantage on lace and georgette.
Two pretty examples of the mode are
shown here. In one of them crepe
de chine appears with satin in an odd, ,
original model with woodbine leaves
In silk and beads, embroidered on the
satin. It has an apron at the front,
bloused at the waistline and bordered
with the embroidered satin. The long
sleeves flare at the wrist and are fin-*
ished with a satin band. Pale gold
and turquoise blue are, as always, hap
py together in the blouse at the right.
Blue beads give a good account of
themselves as a trimming and the
sleeves chqjlenge us to pronounce them
the most graceful of the many styles
that help to make the season interest
ing.
