MODERN LITTLE GIRL IS DRESSED IN HEIGHT OF FASHION

Comfort, Lightness Rank First Bv SEA Service PARIS, May B.—The modem little girl is the most elegant and also the most logically-dressed of children. There was a time when she was apt to be a sad, overdressed and listless child, hampered by too many or too bulky clothes. All this is changed now. Comfort, lightness, and perfect freedom of movement are the three essential qualities studied by the people who specialize in children’s fashions, and even infants have long since abandoned swaddling clothes. Plam handwork in the form of smocking and tucks or simple embroidery trims the everyday frock, but “best” dresses often display exquisite drawn-thread work, fagotting, minute seaming in fancy patterns, and the tiniest of tucks. Real Valenciennes edging is sometimes seen on handkerchief linen dresses or on georgette dresses, but this is rather the exception. More Fantasy in Coats Coat3 offer a little more fantasy so far as form is concerned. Some have a slightly circular skirt part attached to a snugly-fltting yoke top, others are straight from shoulder to hem. The vogue of tailored suits for grownups has been reproduced in the most attractive miniature tailleurs. The skirt is pleated, the jacket is of the double-breasted or Yorfolk type, and a little blouse, attached to the skirt or not, according to the child’s age, completes the ensemble. A 7 or 8-year-old Is a charming sight when garbed in one of these suite, and it also strokes anew note in kindergarten styles. Adapted to Figures It is surprising, too, how these suits seem to adapt themselves to childish figures, and by way of further attraction they happen to be a very practical solution of the spring outfit. The new soft woolens fashion both coats and suits for the “less than 8,” but seldom is this fabric used for dresses. The practicable advantage offered by all washable materials have caused wools to be entirely set aside. Besides, cottons and washing silks are much gayer for the very young. The problem of dressing a girl adequately from 7 to 14 —the awkward age—is rather more complicated. A great deal depends on the child’s silhouette. Some Mature Earlier Some girls retain the baby look well on into their teens, others whd mature much earlier. A girl’s clothes are important at this stage and she must never be allowed to become clothes conscious. Here again the blouse and skirt theme comes in very handy, as It is becoming to most children. The only difference is that the waistline will be more apparent and the skirt longer. Even the younger generation’s knees are not displayed quite so freely as they were before, and dresses are made to reach just above or just below, according to size. Flannel Most Popular Flannel is by far the most popular*fabric this year for the more practical children’s clothes. It is used in gray, red, navy and of course white, and color combinations are also very much to the fore A red or blue flannel jacket can be worn with a gray or white flannel skirt or with a plaid cheviot. If the suit is made all in one color then the blouses can supply the color note. For summer wear, flannel is replaced by cotton and silk pique or shantung. Party dresses, the most important number in a child’s wardrobe, are made this season in plain or figured georgettes, organdie and embroidered swiss muslin and the most delicate pastel shades. Crepe satin and taffetas are seen only for formal functions. Call Sorority Session Theta Beta Delta sorority will meet tonight at the home of Miss Margaret Doyle. Final plans for a card party will be made.

Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TERTIUS VAN DYKE, in the current Scribner’s calls attention to the chief cause for the decline of Protestantism: ’ A lack of intelligent leadrship in rural communities. Only those who have spent some years in small towns can realize how tragically true this is. Almost invariably there are too many churches in such localities, and the ministers are but half-ed-ucated and at a complete standstill so far as thinking is concerned. And if by chance an ardent and spiritual person finds himself in such place, it is inevitable that he will go down to defeat under the cast-iron prejudices of a congregation that has been trained to Pharisaical instead of Christlike creeds. This is particularly true in the middle western states, formerly the hotbed of Protestantism. The church, therefore, if it desires to live, should make some sort of financial arrangement whereby the pay for rural preachers would be borne by the entire organization. Ministers, now, are too much at the mercy of certain influential “pillars,” who compel religion to be taught as they understand it. # tt tt YOUNG people in such places are lacking pitifully in the right sort of guidance. It Is no wonder that by the time they go into the cities they have become alienated completely from the church and have only scorn for its teachings. This is because the average small town religious adult wars constantly with youth and its instincts instead of trying to understand them and guide them into right channels. These are facte and not theories. Because of them the church has lost millions of young people, and by allowing itself to become the agent of police-minded majorities, it has excluded men and women from its door who honestly have desired to enter. Large, beautiful buildings to house city congregations will not counterbalance the harm that comes to this great Christian cause by the continued neglect of some intelligently directed effort in small communities.

NEW YORK, May B.—Lovely, feminine, neckwear certainly Covers a multitude of skins this season. And it isn’t only at the neck, either. Neckwear is found around the wrists, elbows, the upper arm, across the chest and down to the waistline. Just why cuffs and guimpes and waistcoats and undersleeves should be called neckwear is a bit of a problem. It remains that they are and that they are all more fashionable this spring than in any season of our fashion memory. Most dresses have some kind of neckwear on them. If a dress hasn’t, it’s easy enough to put it on. Because there are collars made for

almost any shape neckline —cuffs for any kind of sleeves—undersleeves or ruffling for short sleeves —and vestees and guimpes to fill V and surplice necklines. And if what you want isn’t already made up, it’s simple enough to make it at home with laces, pleatings, ruchings and the other fashionable neckwear materials. Pique still is the favorite material for tailored neckwear. But there’s more of the softer, dressier type this season and most of it’s made of sheer materials. Embroidered or eyelet batiste is a favorite. So are handkerchief linen, allover lace, net, georgette and chiffon.

Collars of made-up sets are the same shape as collars on fashionable dresses. They’re round, V-shaped, long surplices, revers and fichus. Many of the newest ones are asymmetric—a hard way of saying they’re cut different or deeper on one side than on the other. Cuffs Are Deeper The newest cuffs are deeper. They’re flared like gauntlets. Or they may be fitted close to the sleeve. But they tend to come higher up on the sleeve than they used to. Some, in fact, are so deep they’re almost half sleeves. Os course, regulation depth cuffs are fashionable, too. But if you want your dress to look newest, use the deeper ones. Undersleeves are something new this year. They’re used with dresses that have three-quarter sleeves. And they certainly look smart, especially when they’re made of rows and rows of narrow Val lace. The old-fashioned guimpe is back. Some have little puff sleeves to come below the cap sleeve of a dress. Some are entirely sleeveless and are worn to fill in V-necks or under the jacket of a suit. Rows of Lace Smart Rows of lace, shirred nets and shirred chiffons are smartest in these. And they’re as feminine as anything can be. To wear with the tailored suit, waistcoats of pique or linen also come under the classification of neckwear. And they’re just about the only masculine-looking piece of neckwear there is this season. We’ve had sketched a number of the fashionable pieces of neckwear. There’s the fichu of lace, a tailored pique set, a lace-edged linen collar with widely flared cuffs, a shirred net guimpe and puffed undersleeves, another kind of fichu made of rows of Val lace with gauntlet cuffs, and the narrow ruching that so smartly outlines the surplice neckline.

Needs by Mrs. Noerr Mrs. Fred Noerr, visitor for the Indianapolis Flower Mission, in her monthly reoprt Thursday morning at a meeting of the board in the Architects and Builders building, stressed the need of a hospital isolating tuberculosis cases.

Women of the organization are planning to erect anew hospital as soon as conditions permit. Mrs. David Ross, president; Mrs. James H. Lowes, treasurer, and Mrs. James D.
