WOMAN’S PAGE. Fluffy Fabrics for Fuller Frocks BY MARY Innumerable yards of chiffon, voile, erepe de chine, tulle and other soft amd airy fabrics will be used this MARSHALL. these airy fabrics than in the heavier ones that we find seasonal in Winter. A skirt can now measure many yards about the hem without giving real bulkiness to the silhouette. With vel- vet or duvetyn it would be a diftérent matter. With some of the renowned dress- makers this Spring the sheer, light fabrics are ed almost exclusively. F n coats are made of chiffon. Agnes, the French dressmaker who has the reputation of dressing a number of queens, has chiffon coats that are trimmed with lace, artificial flowers and diamonds. Little chance here t the mannish fashion will be carried too far. “Crepe imprime,” which is simply printed crepe de chine, is light and feather weight, and is used by many of the dressmakers in fine pleats Ruchings and lace ruffles have been revived as part of the new vogue for frilly things. Sometimes the ruching is made of chiffon and sometimes of a heavier material, such as taffeta on the chiffon foundation. Decidedly characteristic of the fash- fons of the moment s the use of navy blue or black chiffon combined with THE !l COLOR cuT-OUT MARY AND HER LAMB. EVENING TAR, WASHINGTON Delayed Speech. It is never safe to generallze about children. “Usually a child does thus {and so, but this one may be different. A good deal of child of watching and it u training walting. It happens every now and then that a child delays talking. The usual child begins to talk somewhere about the end of the first year. By the end of the second he has quite a vocabulary and can ask for what he wants and tell you that he likes or doesn’t like it. But there is occa- 1 se consists sionally a child who does not do this. | The first year and the second year passes and he makes mno sign of ch beyond the first baby sounds. . parents are anxious and begin to r that he may be dumb. . " If ho fs a normal, healthy, intelli- gent child ‘there is little chance of that. If he laughs in play, if he talks to himself in crooning syllables, if he understands and carries out your spoken suggestlons, he is pretty sure to be all right. It may be that his speech is delayed because there are no other children close tc him. Chil- dren learn more from other children D. C., THURSDAY, come in to play with him and let him be with them an hour or so daily. In the case of the normai child with delayed speech the delay is very soon overcome. He learns very fast; faster than the children who com- menced earlier. He will have as strong a speech power as his mates by his sixth birthda lut when a child is well on in his third year and still does not talk it would be well te take him to the speech speclalist and have his vocal equipment examined, He may bave some obstruction which can be re- moved and enable him to gain speech power a bit sooner. If this child is left-handed have him examined by the end of the sec- ond year. There Is a subtle assocla- tion of hand and speech that makes us careful about left-handed chil- dren. We would not ask them (o write with their right hand lest we disturb the speech function. Nor would we be meticulous about their articulation in the years when they are finding their speech powers Stuttering is sometimes brought on these children by too much attention to their lisping or to their use of the left hand. MARCH 26, 1925. Spring is the season of chintz and change. Old things must give way to new, and new things must bring the spirit of the season with fresh- ness and bright color. This single lamp shade is particu- - springlike, easy to make and inexpensive. The frame was wrapped in plain green tape and the chintz was first pinned top and bot- FEATURES. BEAUTY CHATS Hats and Heads. We have chatted about hair—now what about the hats that will cover our heads and what we haven't cut off in the way of hair, this new sea- son? Before you buy your new hats, study the shape of your head and the shape of your face and decide what sort of hat is going to sult you best. This season’s hats are as s=nug as they can be. The brims are so nar- row or so tiny, &0 soft and so folded that they have little to do with the shape of the hat; they merely give that indefinite thing called “iine” which makes from $2 to $20 differ- ence in the price. A shape which came in during the Winter s being carried on into Spring and Summer hats, as it is 8o universaily becoming. It is the rounded felt brim turning sharply back from the face and then bent down on itself to give width to the sides and a little depth as vou see the hat profile. This style is most becoming for good or siightly irregular features, especially If the nose needs a little bringing out. A hook-nosed woman or one with a “pug” must find a little brim, though, and avold this style. The small feits are very pretty, and can be bought now and worn BY EDNA KENT FORBES, hot months. The smartest ones have a.fold or a tuck across the crow and many grow the m bunches of felt flow top. This style lends height to figures and Youthfulness to any ure.

If it is at all possible have other children, even though they are a year or so older, cream white or ecru lace for useful little dinner or afternoon frocks.
