TOGS FOR KIDDIES
Ready-to-Wear Clothes Have
Many Advantages.
Mothers Prefer to Rely on Garments
Which They Believe Look Better
Than Those They Make.
Each season, assert the shopkeep
ers, there is more and more demand
for ready-made clothes for children.
Not that there are more children, but
that more mothers are relying on the
ready-to-wear garments, which are
really so much better looking than
anything they can fashion at home
without spending a good deal of pre
cious time in the process. Even if the
modern mother is a good needlewoman
she finds that fine sewing is the least
requirement. Styles in children s
clothes chunge rapidly nowadays; the
same models are not worn year after
year as they used to be. One does not
recall these frantic style changes In
one’s own childhood. There was the
long-walsted#frock with a sash or a
low-placed leather belt. And there was
the plaited skirt with a sailor blouse
And there was the gulmpe dress. Al
most all frocks for little girls kept to
these fundamental principles.
It is Interesting to watch the style
developments in raiment for sinnll
girls. Features that are the fads of
one season usually appeur the next
season as sulient points of Juvenile
garb.
Why this is, no one quite knows;
but it is so. Frocks for little girls
this autumn show over-the-waist bod
ices, tied at the back in a sash. They
show long over-blouses with fringe at
the edge. They show straight lines
and loose belts and sashes and round
necks edged with plaited frills. Every
day frocks are of serge, of wool jersey,
of tricotine, and the favored trimmings
are buttons, braid, angora wool, silk
embroidery and loop fringe. Taffeta
and even satin dresses are shown for
girls from seven to twelve years old;
and the taffeta frocks, particularly,
are quaint and charming in their soft,
bright colors and childish style.
One blue poplin model is an excel
lent choice for autumn school days. It
is a little more substantial in weight
than a tub frock, yet is not so heavy
and warm as an all-wool costume. It
fills in the gap between summer and
winter admirably—though, of course, it
must be supplemented by several tub
dresses for wear on those sultry days
that always come. This blue poplin
model might be developed successfully
in taffeta, with lace or hand-embroid
ered collar and cuffs for formal occa
sions ; the blue poplin, with its collar
and cuffs of the material and neat
white lawn vestee, is an ideal school
frock.
BLACK CREPE DE CHINE GOWN
Accordion pleated, begins at the
bust line and is nipped at the waist
by a crushed moire girdle, then
three tiers ripple at will from hip to
ankle. All this is in striking contrast
to the very transparent bodice of chif
fon and lace.
Mending Lace.
Small breaks in lace can be very
perfectly mended with a little care
and patience. Place a tiny knot at the
end of your thread and draw the
thread through the place where the
lace is broken, joining the broken
threud to the lace proper. Then draw
a succession of loop knots over the
floating thread very tightly close to
the base. Now follow with the new
thread the course that tiie old thread
had taken ami do the same with the
other loose end, knotting it securely
close to the body lace. Cut away the
loose ends and the break is no longer
perceptible.

r Colors for Autumn.
Navy, brown and gray are mneh
discussed as the most fashionable col
ors for autumn blouses—these
trimmed with touches of brilliant or
lighter colors, but with distinctive
care, for there must be, according to
fashion’s decree, no garishness about
these colorful trimmings.

The saving habit—the impulse toward thrift
which was developed during our Liberty Loan
campaigns—will greatly increase our prosper
ity IF CONTINUED.
If "we relax, if the effort to save is abandoned,
everything gained during the war will be lost.
Therefore it behooves each and every one of
us to continue to save.
