Good Ways of Lengthening Skirts BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. TWO SMART WAYS OF Tt is not only the mothers of growing Firls who now have to consider the lengthening of skirts for their children, but every woman has the increase gmblem of finding good ways to lengthen er own frocks. It is worthy of note that when fashion presents a problem, fashion itself comes to the aid of the needlewoman. And such is the truth today, as will be seen. 5 Circular flounces of white or some colored textile that harmonizes with a | frock are found on new dresses. These | can be put around the bottom of some MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Stewed figs, wheat cereal with eream, sausage cakes, chili sauee,” rice muffins, coffee. LUNCHEON, Cream of pea soup, fresh vege- table salad, erisp rolls, preserved peaches, sponge drops, tea. DINNER. Bouillon, braised ribs of beef, , fresh vegetable , French dressing, cottage pudding, lemon sauce, coffee. - RICE MUFFINS. Stir one cupful of the water in which the rice was boiled into 1 cupiul of cold boiled rice and 1% tablespoonfuls melted butter, 1 well beaten egg, lhi cupfuls flour mixed and sifted with 1 teaspoan- ful baking powder, 1 scant tea- spoonful sugar and - teaspoon- ful salt. Fill muffin pans 23 full and bake in quick oven. VEGETABLE SALAD. Mix together 1 cupful beans cut into small cupful peas, 1 cupful ely-cut celery, 1 cup boiled beets cut into dice and 35 cup dried cooked car- rots. Use French dressing and bed of erisp lettuce leaves. Rub bottom of salad bowl LENGTHENING FROCKS. styles of old frocks. If very namrow bands of the dress material are put near the lower edge of the circular flounce, ‘it suggests that the flounce was part of the pattern of the dress itself and not a necessary addition. For an evening dress a wide ruffie of point d’esprit or plain net matching the shade of the gown is fashionable about the lower part of & skirt. Here again is found a solution for lengthening of some frocks. The ruffle and the circular flounce can each be shaped to droop in the back if one wilhes. The ruffie can | have points come along the bottom, for it is cut on the straight of the goods, fiermminx such unevennesses to be eas- ly_given. In the uneven hemline is found & way to lengthen skirts and to supply extra fullness at the same time. The straight skirt is .cup from hemline to waistband, dividing the skirt into four portions, one.coming each side of a front panel and one each side of a back gnnel. Into each of these oren.lnn & V-shaped piece of new goods, longer than the skirt it- self, is set. Or straight pieces may be used instead of the V-shaped ones, in which case the width of the straight plece is narrowed near the top by sev- eral rows of tightly gathered shirring. Let out the hem, and seam or ma- chine hemstitch a width of the matarial forming these insets to the bottom of each panel portion. If the homemaker can cut these panel-lengthening widths in one with the V-shaped or straight insets, the work will be more sional, as seams will be few. of the inset strips can be pointed or curved.

Both flower and vegetable gardens ‘Yepresent for the gardener a vast amount of time, thought and hard work. Few things are so calculated to anger him as for some thoughtless child to run across his weak and struggling plants. Children do love flowers, but they | cannot always discriminate between the flowers they are allowed to pick and | those which are not ready for picking or cannot be picked. Neither are they aware of the damage that can be done by a wandering foot. | There is one fairly certain method of teaching the child an appreciation and knowledge of plants. Give the ehild a plot of ground for his very own. ! him plant seeds and water and hoe and weed, let him know all the trembling uncertainty of whether red radishes will really grow from those round black 1sceds or whether gay flowers, just like the picture on the package, will arise | from this plot of black earth. Mrs. P. F. feels that gardens are also | an outlet for excess energy. She writes, {“I have three healthy, happy children | and your articles have been a great help | in making and keeping them so. But | they are, oh, 50 active, and ‘one thing I | have found valuable in keeping them busy is a garden. A sizable square of ground in which they can dig and plant to their hearts’ content. It is also a | gorgeous place to make mud pies, rivers, |lakes, and S0 on. If they get dirty it | washes off, and barring accidents they can usually wear their clean afternoon dresses the next morning.” There are few desires so strong in all of us as the itch to get our fingers in dirt. All children adore it and it is a real and irreparable deprivation if they live where no dirt or grass is available or where lawns are so beautifully sodded and landseaped that no# one spot can ‘be spared for the mutilation to which | the children would subject it. |, Sand is one play material necessary to any outdoor plavgrou: ut_eannot fulfill all the child’s needs. as nothing grows in it. He can build elaborate | castles teday and they are flattened | out tomorrow. but the care and energy he expends on his earth spot will re- | ward him with flowers and vegetables | that are doubly precious because he grew them. | __If the parent shows an interest in this | awkward garden, making it clear that | only weeds are to be sacrificed and that | every growing plant be given the most | tender care, she has done & great deal to ingtill in the child an appreciation for the worth of the products of his labors. He will in turn shoo off sny children whose vandal feet tread near _lhe home gardens and whose hands are | stretched out for indiscriminate picking.
