DRESSES FOR You may remember the excitement caused by pantalettes last September? How the stories came back from Paris that women were wearing them under thelr full skirts in lace and pleated het? How you sald, ‘Never, neval How Paris kept on doing it; how the narrow frill began to show under our skirts here, and how we did not real- ize the fashion was Iin the open merely because it was not as revo- lutionary as we expected it to be. Those pantalettes were for adults. Children grew envious. They sald the garments belonged to them, to the nursery, forgetting that our grand- mothers wore them with hoopskirts and Mrs. Castle brought them back ng in the years of the war. the children must have it their own way these days. They and thelr slightly older sisters rule the world, so pantalettes have appeared on the frilled and ribboned frocks worn to juvenile dancing classes. Rose pink taffeta, for instance, makes a flounced frock, knee length, bateau neck line and short sleeves. Beneath it, not coyly peeping in and out, but flagrantly exposing itself, are panta- lettes of the same material, square, frilled, ruched. Much that we wear the children wear. They will tell you with good reason that the reverse is true. But coat suits, which are their new di- version, for the_ strect, are truly an adult fashion. We have them there. They have now adopted this mascu- line form of covering, using wide bands of fur for trimming in the BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

The skirt is above the knees, the jacket nearly as long. And there is a hat of the fabric. The fur is gray astrachan, which finishes the edges of the jacket. Hiding the legs, children are able to continue their short skirts by wearin that button to the knees an sometl. above them. Plum is an ancient color for us, but 2 new one for juveniles, and it is of interest that this season has made it fashionable for them and left us cold to it. It is & rival to green in their affections. They do not discard black, but they do not look upon it with enthusiasm. In that they are right. All the varying shades of red are popular.

The other day I was listening to a woman speaker. She had what is known as a commanding platform presence; that s, when she stood be- fore an assemblage of people she was able to make them like her and to be influenced to her opinion because of her attractive personality. She seemed to be a woman of about thirty-five, and she was remarkably pretty. This was my impression as 1 entered the room late and saw her in front of me. | T had to walk around the side of the hall to find a seat, so that when I looked at her again It was no longer her full face, but her profile that I !saw. Suddenly she appeared to be forty-five or even fifty—all because there were two baggy pouches of | flesh under her chin. HOME ECONOMICS. BY MRS.

Such a gift will delight any woman. Women cold-rolled, THICK, sheet aluminum, “Wear-Ever”’ utensils save fuel; they insure better-cooked, better- flav?redfoods; and they give years and years of service. .

The sad part is that it is absolutely unecessary. No woman need spoil her appearance with a double chin if she begins treat- ing herself in time. Of course, if the body is too fat, some of this extra flesh is certain to form under the chin as well as over the abdomen and the back of the shoulders. A general re- Guotion will help to reduce this doubls chin and local trestments with ice and careful massage will draw up the loose skin and bring back the smooth and youthful line. 1 would recommend s ten-minute rub with a piece of ice every day, to be preceded by a rather vigorous mas- sage with the hands. The exercise of stretching the chin upwards as far as possible will also be of immense bene- fit, and If you cannot get ice use any well-recommended astringent. MENU FOR A DAY.

Yet it is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use a man’s medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Neither would be tolerated by specialists in children’s diseases. Your Physiclan will tell you that Baby’s medicine must be prepared with even greater care than Baby’s food. A Baby’s stomach when in good health is too often disarranged by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, think of giving to your arkng child anything but a medicine especially prepared for Infants and Children ? Don’t be deceived. Make a mental note of this:—It is important, Mathera, that you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of your Baby must receive special care. No Baby is so abnotmal that the desired results may be had from the use of medicines primarily prepared for grown-ups. - MOTHERS SHOULD READ THE BOOKLET THAT 1S AROUND EVERY BOTTLE OF FLETCHER'S CASTORIA cenuinNe CASTORIA ALwars Bears the Signature of STOR THE CENTAUR COMPANY.
