Fashions for the Little Tots;

& Straight-Line Mode Plaited

FOR little girls under six years, there is nothing startlingly novel in fall styles. Their everyday dresses are still cut on straight lines, with or without separate yokes, and are made with panties to match. Ginghams, in the smallest checks, or in deep colors with small cross-bar patterns in contrasting colors, remain the mainstay of the little maid's everyday outfitting, varied by plain chambray, cotton crepe, poplin and other strong cotton weaves. For woolen dresses there are novelty checked materials (usually made up with collar and cuffs of a plain fabric) serge, twill, gabardine

and the like. Browns—those verging on red preferred—greens, soft blues and bright reds are prominent In colors and quaint colorful embroideries in pleasant designs, make appropriate adornments for dresses of plain materials. Velveteen ia occasionally represented. Whatever the material, lines remain simple and straight, as In the two little dresses of checked gingham shown In the picture. The little frock at the left has a narrow yoke, with the body of the dress shirred In two rows at, the top, and attached to it. The

half-length sleeves are set In and antshed with detachable cuffs that match the collar. These may all be of white linen or cotton or In a plain color. Very small and simple flower motifs are embroidered on the collar with colored floss and repeated on the yoke. Tiny peart buttons and cat stitching make a finish for the shirred yoke In the dress at the right which has a short front opening. The panties drop over an elastic band at the knees, but In the other model are finished with a band of the gingham. Taffeta and crepe de chine continue to hold first place In the esteem of de•lgnera, for party frocks which are also made up with matching panties. Narrow, fisted ruffles or plcot-edged frills, pat on in double or even triple rows,

Garden of Hairbows. Bustle, butterfly and rosette hairbows head the list in popularity with very young girts. There are only a tew, however, of the many different types of hairbows now appearing on the heads of the daughters of fashion. There are bows ter blondes. bows for brunettes, for Titan-haired maids, and maids who come under no particular class. Whether the hair is bobbed or, long, straight or curly, there la a bow for every bead, so that a group of children presents a far more attractive ap- $

finish the bottom of skirts and panties collars and elbow length (or shorter) sleeves. Sometimes skirts are slashed half-way up at the sides and collart cut in scallops or deep points.' Since the stralght-llne mode is ap patently here to stay—at least until the appearance of the spring styles—designers must find new ways and means for keeping within the fashion and at the same time give their creations a desirable degree of individuality. In recent showings of fall street suits and ■day dresses there Is an awakening interest in plaiting and, for the present fashion, there is nothing that

seems more effective than this method of varying the straight-line costume. The dress shown at the left Is an example In blue crepe with narrow box plaits that start gt |he shoulder line and continue to tW hem of the skirt. Bodice and skirt 4re ornamented with rows of pearl but dins and a belt of the material holds-in the fullness at the low waist line. At the right Is a model in a new figured wool which follows the general lines of the straight silhouette, but te modified to give a seml-draped effect. The plait-

ing In this ease ls confined to tho front of the skirt, This dress shows the tendency toward longer sleeves and the use of lace as a dress trimming. Plaiting Is not confined to suits and dresses in the new styles. Sports coats are shown with wide box plaits at the back or sides. Fur coats have Inverted plaits made of fur contrasting with that of the coat and hats have trimmings of plaited ribbon, either wide or narrow. In the form of cuffa flanges, brims, bows and rosettes. - (©• 1M». WMtWR Newspaper UnJoa.)

HELPING OTHERS THE busiest man can find time to be helpful The most determined man can, without harm to himself, stop now and then to help others on the way up. Few successful men there are who have not done much for their fellows. The race for success Is hot and bard, but there are always times when others can be lifted from the roadside and put back on their feet Hard Indeed Is the man who will not offer a word of advice or encouragement to a brother bound the same way. There is little enough kindness in the world, but that is not the fault of its great men. Read biography and you will discover that practically all those who attained high places in the world were glad to give others a band on their way. The old, the weak, the ill need nelp, as a matter of course. They need more than they receive, although the world Is learning, day by day, better to provide for° them. But the young need help, too. They need to be told of the dangers that wait on ahead end how to avoid them. They need the lessons that the more successful can give them and, above all, they need encouragement when ; —t THE MAN-LAND B r GRACE E.

They have strange toys in the Manland. But of marbles they have not one. Though they have queer games they are playing From morn til the day is done; They sail great kites In the Man-land, So large that you’d be afraid, And their trains go past so fast—so fast That you can’t see how they’re made. There’s not much fun tn the Man-land, Little boy with your eyes of gray, • Though you think it Is very pleasant As you glimpse It from far away; And scarcely a one In the Manland. With all of Its seeming joy. Who wouldn’t turn backward gladly. And be just a care-free boy; But they do strange things in the Manland. That sensible lads would spurn: They hide all their tears, their sorrows and fears. And this you would have to learn. They forget their prayers in the Manland, Little boy with your eyes of brown; They even forget their manners. And answer with sneer or frown; They tell, many tales in the Man-land. And often they’re qjoite untrue. But they aren't like the fairy stories That are told to interest you; They grow very cold In the Man-land. And their laughter gets out of tune; Oh, stay with your toys, for all little boys Go to Man-land too soon—too soon I (© Dodd.

they get “in the dumps," as ths yonng are prone to be.

You will never be poor or so unsuccessful that you cannot afford to be kind. Your way to prosperity will never be so hard that you will not have opportunity to speak a cheering word or do a kindly deed to others who need your help. It is well enough to be determined to succeed, to be devoted to the achievement of success. But he who climbs to the top over the backs of his fellows gains a prize not worth having, and lives and dies, mean, selfish and despised—a life that no decent man would wish his deadliest enemy.

Do not be kind because it pays dividends. Do not be helpful because you expect to profit by It. Be kind because you want to be kind, and your life will be happy and your old age filled with contentment. <© •»’ John Blake.)

We wonder at the agreeableness of our friends, the loveliness of the blossoms. the sweet songs of the birds and the thousands of beautiful things all about us which heretofore we have passed without notice. At last we have succeeded In Polling an old mart: from our face and we are able to smile.

Has Anyone Laughed At You ■■ Because— ■’ You Keep Religious Holidays in the “Old Style"? This laughter takes all the nerve you have to “kec? going," through. Don’t mind IL If you observe religious festivals and holidays and the Sabbath, you get something out of it that should make you above anyone's laughter, so why worry? If you observe these days because your family wants you to, and not because you care to. even here you are being truly unselfish and the laughter of others can’t really hurt you, except in your Imagination. We all need more time for reflection and the religious holiday that will bring more of us to our knees. If only for a respite in life's little hostilities, helps more than any laughter can mar.

Red Top repeated. “I’d like to know why you feel sorry for them at such a time or why ybu have felt sorry for them, or why you will feel sdrry for them —if you are going to keep on feeling sorry for them. “And then, too. I’d be Interested In hearing what age children must reach In order to have you feel sorry for them. “Do you suppose they are thankful and pleased that you feel sorry for them at that age? Are they In need of sympathy then?” “Well,” said young Miss Hen, “I will answer all your questions. First of all 1 feel sorry for children when they reach a certain age because I understand them. In other words I have a fellow feeling for them.” ”1 don’t see,” said Red Top. “how a young hen can have a fellow feeing for a lot of children." “1 mean," said young Miss Hen. “that I understand how they because I too have had the same feelings. “Little children are always so much admired. They are thought so cunning and if they’re naughty they seem to be very quickly forgiven and they’re smiled at almost at all times. “They’re hugged and loved and made great pets of and everyone thinks they’re so sweet and pretty And dear and lovable. "Then they become a little older. If they’re bad they’re scolded good and hard. They’re not thought nearly so cunning and they’re not thought nearly so sweet, nor so lovable, mir so dear, nor are they smiled at almost at all times. “Sometimes It is sal>l they have reached the awkward age. I do not know what age it is or just when it comes but it is the age between being a little child and a big boy or girl. “It comes at different times, or at different ages, not always at the same time with everyone. I do not know whether children are thankful and pleased that I have so much sympathy for them at such times or not, but I have nt any rate. And the reason for it Is this. this Is the reason why I so thoroughly understand, and I know how they feel when they’re not admired as they have been and I know how It makes them feel only more awkward. You see when I was a little chick I was a dear, plump, fuzzy, cunning little thing. “I had soft yellow down and I was really quite sweet. I realize it now that It has gone from me. Then I became older. I couldn’t help it. It was not my fault. And I grew. My shape was awkward and 1 moved awkwardly. If I bumped into anything or run In a silly way I was called silly, but If I bad done the same thing as a little chick I would have been thought a poor, dear, frightened little chicken. • “And as I became older I became more and more awkward'nnd more and more I realized that people thought of me as being a pretty unattractive hen. “Then I heard some people talking about some children who had grown

from babyhood into boyhood and girlhood. They said these children had been so cunning when they had been little but that now they were at the awkward age. “And I’ve seen so much of It Since — unappreciated children because they’re not little and cunning, and It’s the same way with hens 1 The very same way. Ah, it Is a great shame!

Hens are awkward, too, before they become older, settled hens. They understand how children feel. Ah yes, young hens are sympathetic.
