The Growing Girl.

When making dresses for a little girl who Is growing rapidly allow six extra Inches In the length of the skirt. Just above the hem aet in a deep tuck on the wrong side; now above It put In two or three small tucks on the right side to hide the line where the deep one has been made. When the skirt needs lengthening, all you have to do la to pull out the thread of the deep tuck, and dqwn cornea the skirt without any trouble of letting out the hem and facing It up again. The small tucks.on the right aide remain aa they were and serve to make a pretty finish to the skirt. When dresses with Dutch necks are worn it Is quite as Important to distribute powder across the back of the neck aa it la to'cover the sac» and front of the throat.
