Classic Simplicity Always Correct in Selections for Children Spring and the Smart Child. Ovmrrmo children twice a year is not the heart-breaking siege' to young mothers that it used to owing to the wide choice of lovely clothes with which the sh_;g- are teeming. For Summer a goodly supply of things is needed. ey should, of course, be of the most simple and practical character. and dancing school, it is better not to indulge in any sort of frilliness. The fashion now of dressing a an age, in the same color, is & charming one. The sweaters are identical, the only differ- ence being in the very abbreviated skirt and trousers. . Also there is the vogue of having all the girls dressed alike. This used to apply only to twins, but now one often sees three or four small girls of various ages up to about 10 wearing simil being smart, it certainly makes the problem far more simple for the mother.

Each Season, However, Adds Its Style Trend to Juvenile Mode. in Unassailable Taste. Cape Is Shown in Children’s Field as Well as Others—Vogue for Sun Fashions Gaining in Strength There Also. BY HELEN DRYDEN. HERE never hi been a time when good taste has not de- manded the classic, simple type of clothes for children. Each season. of course, adds its styl trend to the juvenile mode, but the criminating mother will reject anything that y tend toward sophistication or fussiness. For instance, an ensemble in un- Assailable taste would be-a Scotch plaid gingham pleated skirt, buttoned on a white frilled blouse; a navy blue coat, a blue cloche hat, ki brogues. Spring because of its strong vogue i the grown-up mode. The tailored navy blue cheviot coat, double breasted or single, with black bone buttons, is cor- rect for children of all ages. * k% % BY this time we all know how domi- : nant the cape is going to be as a style trend this Spring. This trend has invaded the children’s wear field, and coats from 2-yeat size up will make smart use of them. The awkward age has been treated . Privacy Outside of House Various Methods Are Employed in Warm Weather, When Fresh Air Is De- sired —Lattices, Shrubs, Popular. OMETHING that every one who lives in a house can have is some | trees or fruit-bearing vines and shrubs. little space where she can be outdoors and still enjoy privacy. However, this is something that a good many in this country do not enjoy. Old-world gardens were usually built with high stone or brick walls about them that gave. privacy. These are expensive and usually not in_ keeping with our surroundings. But there are quick-growing shrubs and vines that may be planted at small expense and will shield a section of your lawn or garden. ‘The veranda built on the side or| back of the hause has the advantage of being less exposed to the street. It is possible to shield a section of the front porch without detracting from the attractive appearance of your house. Many persons do not like to have a thick vine growing on the structure of the veranda because it tends to rot the wood. Yet one ean have a lattice erected at small expense and on it vines may grow. Lattices already constructed may be bought for less than $3. A group of tall shrubs or small ever- green trees planted a few feet away from the veranda gives privacy with- out taking away light and ventilation If your garden consists of merelv a emall “back yard”-where there is little Coating of Tan or Sunburn Those Who Are Sus- ceptible Should Give Skin a - Protective Covering of Oil or Cream — Time to Avoid Use of Cold| Water. BY CHARLOTTE C. WEST, M. D. 'HERE is a popular belief that coat- = ings of tan are good for the skin. It is not the tan, but the action of the sun’s rays on the system in gen- eral that is beneficial. The skin never regains its delicate transparency after repeated coatings of tan or sunburn. ‘Tan is quite a different matter from sunburn. As a rule those who burn do not tan: Z One who is susceptible to either tan or sunburn should give the skin a pro- tective covering of oil or cream before exposure to the sun’s rays, Cocoa but- ter is excellent for this purpose, or a mask of cold cream and powder. Glycerin and rose water are preferred by many. A liberal allowance is ap- plied, the excess removed, and the skin then heavily powdered. Cold water should never be employed on the skin directly after a seance with ©Old Sol.

Nothing is more beautiful in Bpring than apple blossoms or cherry blossoms. Some persons admire the plum blos- som more than that of any other flower- ing fruit tree. It is smaller than the cherry or apple, but full of charm and picturesque association. ‘There are some of the scrubbier fruit- bearing trees that serve excellently for shrubs. There is the Cornelian cherry that has large fruit in September, that makes the foundation of a refreshing. tart drink or may be made into jelly. Elderberries make excellent jelly. There is the Elaeagnus, that yields fruit like cranberries in Midsummer, making an excellent jam with a piquant flavor. Then there are many sorts of nut trees that are beautiful, long-lived, and that can still be regarded as trees that earn their living.

There are two kinds of freckles— those that appear with the first warm breezes of Spring and fade out with the advent of cooler days, and those that persist all the vear round. So-called “Summer"” freckles often lend a saucy, plauant beauty to an otherwise color- less face. Those who freckle easily rarely have a good color; they are either pale or salloy. Pure lemon Jjuice will bleach out recent freckles. ‘The Summer variety yield readily to the following formula: Shredded horse- iradlsh. 1 ounce; buttermilk, 1 pint. Simmer the mixture over a slow fire for six_hours. Strain, and apply with ab- | sorbent cotton. avoiding the eyes.

A mole is a growth elevated above the surface of the skin. Chronic freckles, or liver spots. cannot be bleached out.

These ac- cessories would not only give a fairly good idea of dress, but also of the man- | ners and customs, virtues and the short- | comings of the women for whom they | were designed, R English women who followed the fash- ion in the reign of Queen Elizabeth counted among their accessories great starched ruffs and three or four orders of minor ruffs placed gradatim, one be- neath the other, brightly colored stock- ings of silk or fine yarn, silk scarfs, visors and helmets worn to keep from sun burning. ornamental looking glasses which were sometimes worn hanging at the side and sometimes inserted in the ostrich feather fan which was also an indispensable u:ceiso:y :f the day. N the Dutch Colonial settlements in this country in the eighteenth een- S:ry women counted among the acces- ries of dress scissors and pincushions hung from their girdles by red ribbons or “among the more opulent and showy classes by brass and even silver chains.” Reticules, which were the forerunners of the modern handbag, came into fash- ion at the opening of the last century, when the narrow skirts of the directoire period replaced bouffant skirts of the eighteenth century and left women pocketless. Small folding fans, long scarfs and small parasols were other necessary accessorles of the woman of fashion “of the directoire period, who never felt completely dressed without something to hold in her hands. Handbags, neck scarfs, decorative handkerchiefs, artificial flowers, neck- laces, bracelets, earrings, gloves, vanity boxes, lingerie collars and cuffs, belts— these are the more or necessary ac- cessories of dress that seem important to women today. e e TH!:RE are handbags for every occa~ sion of the day, and to the well dressed woman it is imperative that the handbag should be related in some way to the color or texture of the dress, Bright colored handbags are permissible demands a nzuznlb’)f gflu them with their nest of rainbow- ued eggs on Easter morning.

Never should the handbag be the focal int of the costume. If a leather hand- B:x is chosen it should be of the same sort and color leather as the shoes. One does not carry a pigskin bag with blue kid shoes, nor a patent leather bag with reptile skin shoes. The fabric bag may match the shoes--dyed linen shoes with a dyed linen bag or figured silk bag with figured silk afternoon shoes. ‘There is a wide variety in scarfs—a fox scarf or flat fur shaped scarf may be worn with the street suit or dress Large fox scarfs are also worn with lighter dresses for afternoon. Oblong scarfs of light-weight tweed or silk are worn crossed ascot fashion or tied in a knot at the front. Tweed scarfs may match the suit or the beret with which they are worn, and sometimes silk scar{s match the band or scarf of the hat. Square scarfs of generous dimensions may be folded shawl fashion and worn over the shoulders with the light after- noon or evening dress to give the de- sirable breadth Io‘!h: l.ho\l ders. * ANDKERCHIEFS were never more important as a decorative item of. dress than they are at present. In fact, many of the most interesting of the new handkerchiefs are purely decora- tive and nothing more. When a large figured silk handkerchief is chbsen to hang nonchalantly from the pocket of a sports costume you may be sure that there is a smaller square of linen in the handbag for ical purposes, and no one thinks of using expensive evening handkerchief of chiffon and real lace. But even the practical handkerchief must be attractive, Those for after- noon wear are of fine linen trimmed with lace or fine embroidery, while for wear with sports or tallored suits there are medium-sized printed linen hand- kerchiefs with finely rolled .

Whether or not American women use as much make-up now as they did a few years ago is a question frequently | asked. Usually the answer is in the | negative. Perhaps this negative is due in part to the fact that we Americans are getting used to it, but more to the fact that the women who use make-up are doing it more skillfully. There still are, of course, women who put their make-up on with all the boldness of an Indian chief with his war paint. Their cherry-colored lips and pink and white cheeks might as well be bright green and purple for all the deceiving they do. Then there are other women who, you would be willing to swear. never use @ bit of make-up—save possibly a little powder.

How many women have the pri or feel they have, of furnishing even nln{le rw:’i‘u of the rx;muur or apartment, ust as they woul e gurnlshefl? bl ‘r How many women when they are to. give a dinner party plan to have just the sort of dinner party they approve of, the dishes they desire, the decora- tions they like? Many women feel that ever to do anything to suit themselves alone is to he selfish, but it often happens that the woman who gets into the habit of de- ferring to the taste of others is put down as not having any taste of her own anyway. At best she receives very little credit for her unselfishn Moreover, she seldom produces | sults because the clothes she wears and the rooms she furnishes and the din- ners she plans turn out to be hodge- podges, with no one dominating taste to guide them. Certainly & woman ought to dress according to her own and no one else's best judgment. Was a woman ever yet attractive in a hat that she felt to be unbecoming? Did a husband ever yet fully spprove of the effect his wife produced when she wore the clothes | that he had bought according to his own taste regardiess of hers? fSum{ner Wardrobe | For the Housewife The housewife usually begins to think about her Summer wardrobe some time in mid-January. She has time as she works around the house to reflect on the mistakes she made last Summer. | Bhe yearns for warm days of Spring and with the yearning comes the | thought of thin Summer frocks. Maybe she makes a list of what she would like to buy and another list of what she really intends to buy. Toward March she notices that the unmarried women she knows are wearing Spring hats In April her business woman friend is talk- ing of a second Spring hat. With that a Spring hat has to be | obtained immediately or an old one |revamped for immediate wear. But | plans for the Summcr wardrobe are being carried out slowly. New things | have to be bought for the house, the | children really must be supplied with | Spring things. They have outgrown | what few last Summer's things weren't worn out before they were discarded. So usually by the time the housewife gets around to the serious business of making or ordering or buying ready made her own Summer things warm | weather is already upon her. Then at | least she has the advantage of finding & goodly supply of things in the stores, | she has the advantage too of finding | lower prices than those that prevail in the very early days of Spring. and she has the advantage of finding that the new fashions have been interestingly developed and adapted to practical needs of the average American woman. At least there are advantags. The dis- advantage may be that she buys in too | great haste, because she buys to fill an mediate need. |Gardens Tempt Us All Out of Doors A garden enthusiast says that it is & good plan when weeding the borders and garden beds at this time of the year to save all grass roots that are pulled out. It takes only a little more | time to place them in an old tin by | themselves. They should be kept in a | dark cool place until you have time to .make use of them. A day or so waiting will do no harm. |, These roots are just the tning to use | to mend the bare spots that are sure to | appear in-every lawn at this time of i the year. and mending a lawn in this way really takes less time in the long | run than' the usual method of seeding it. Sometimes large weeds, when taken from the lawn, leave little bare spots and these discarded grass roots may be placed in these holes. The real garden enthusiast likes even the weeding. In fact that is perhaps the best way to tell a real gardener. ‘The genuine sort finds amusement and diversion even in crouching on the knees, removing weeds from fll’ns and garden beds. To make the task most attractive be sure and get one of the new kneeling cushions, covered with woven raffia. A garden enthusiast says that the first thing to do is to have the right kind of weeding tools at hand. This should include “an old kitchen knife, a trowel, a garden fork and an old ta- ble fork.” th the last named instru- ment all the very small weeds should be removed. Many persons use their fingers for their tiny growths, but the old table fork makes a more thorough job of it and saves the finger nails. Accessories. The well dressed woman this year simply has to know her beads and bracelets and gloves and hats, and the hundred and one other contributing aids to beauty. The dictionary, prepared in fargone days, when a single brooch or strand of pearls did duty with every costume, defines An accessory as a sec- In reality, its helpfulness is primary. However, there is never an excuse for WeAring an unnecessary ornament mere- ly to display it. Every article of cloth- ing, whether designed for service or beauty, must contribute to the general | effect, whose purpose is to increase the |charm of the wearer. For instance, choker beads make necks that are too long lose an extra inch, while short necks become ridiculous in them. Know your type before you plan your costume and buy your accessories. Couturiers are suggesting three strands | of beads, held together with a jeweled clasp and two-strand necklaces of simi- lar design. One coral necklace com- bines both features by using three strands in front and two in back. Colors which match gowns are approved. and pearls especially have borrowed the rainbow hues to make themselves even more glamorous. Patou has an importation which alter- nates clusters of purple grapes with crystals and rhinestones and passes twice over the head. It is three times choker length. Muffs are back with a double purpose this year. They serve not only as a warming place for cold fingers, but as pocketbooks as well. Frequently the hat and muff form an ensemble. Patou presents this muff purse of brownish taupe caracal and taupe hat whose ear flap or the fur offers an intriguing protection. Muffs are small this year. Frequently coats of black fur have matching muffs. For contrast to straws, satins will be very gnei’'aund most effective with some of the dressy Ima» daytime suss.
