In Many Other Ways, Children’s Types Have Been Devel- oped Without Show- ing Much Influence of Women'’s Clothes. Do Not Greatly Re- flect Molded Silhou- ette—Tendency To- ward Picturesque and Becoming Styles With Simplicity Ob- served. BY MARY MARSHALL. HE most striking of recent fash- fon changes have in the very nature of things done much more to modify women’s clothes than those of their little dlu&h- ters. These are long skirts and - fined waistlines. So far from being af- fected by the fashion for longer skirts ‘in women’s clothes, little girls’ skirts have remained almost as short as ever, and though little dresses are made somewhat more trim about the waist they do not, of course, greatly reflect the molded silhouette. Another new development in fash- fons, namely the flared skirt, is much more evident, for, by means of pleats, gathers, panels or actual gores, most of the new children’s dresses show & tendency to flare toward the hemline. RO genaral, too, fashions for children reflect the present tendency toward picturesqueness and greater becoming- mess. And there is at present consid- erably more difference between the clothes worn, let us say, by the two- year-old and the five-year-old, and be- tween the five-year-old and the ten year-old, the ten-year-old and the girl of 16 than there was four or five years ago when short, straight-line clothes were the rule for girls of all ages. For the very little girl, coats as well #s dresses frequently flare slightly from the shoulder or from a short yoke. place for the of six or TF there is any one secret of smart- ness in children’s clothes it is sim- plicity.

Nevertheless, there are some who need to be reminded of the importance of caring for suits if they are to look well throug] the season. To begin with, of course, comes the matter of keeping the suit spotless. This is a necessity, and it is not often overlooked—never by the fastidious woman. Little spots that as a matter of course do sometimes get on the suit | the that is worn constantly may be removed at home very often. Gasoline or chloro- form is the best agent for removing them, though there is always, of course, the possibility that these agents wili leave marks of their own.

Then off to the toy department. There stood Santa Claus in a circle of children shaking hands gravely with each one. “How do you do, both of you? Twins! Anda what do you want me to bring you?” ‘While Paul was getting his own hand pumped, Polly’s brain was working. “A great big doll buggy like Mary Oliver’s, and a great big doll house, too, like hers, and pink satin pajamas for my doll like hers, and a really sewing machine—you know, like Mary Oliver’s, and a really piano, and—" Paul's voice was keeping pace now. “I want an airplane like that big one over there, and an automobile as as a—room, and a tricycle and a bicycle and a train.” “I'm not here to disappoint them,” argued Kay. “I can't do it, and I shan't.” So when the duet asked, “Can I have this?” she just said, “Why, yes, I guess s0.” Wrist Sets set, you can get tucked voile, linen, batiste and other materials by the yard.

But if you don't look well with en- tirely bare arms, you can choose a dress with a little frill across the arm below the shoulder or some other cape-like lmn:emem of georgette or chi.d::en. And then, of course, there are scarfs. They are always allowable with sleeve- less frocks and they add a soft a.d becoming touch to many women. Don't . | hesitate to wear a scarf if you don't look well with the rather severe shoul- der, arm and resent- day evening frock. You can choose a scarf that is not only beautiful in itself but appropriate to the dress with which it is to be worn. ———e Cream Dressing Two and a half tablespoonfuls of mustard, eighth of a tabl nful of white pepper, one saltspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of tarragon vinegar, three-quarters cupful of cream.
