The little girl is very much a replica of her mother—in miniature—this spring. for many of the juvenile fash- ions reﬂect grown up apparel in cut and in trimming motifs. Flare skirts and rather close little bodices are Joined at a high waistline. Coats for little and big girls are high belted and show natty braid and button trim- mings very much like those on grown up garments. The small maid even wears a tall collar. though the tallness is at the back only. for not yet have children‘been inﬂicted with the long sleeves and .highneckivear which t'ash- ion now decrees for‘older folk.

PRETTV POSV-SPRINKLED SILKS -- FOR ONILDISH.FROCKS.

Some of the pussy willow silks in charming ﬂower cluster patterns on

tinted grounds seem especially design- ed for little girls, and a simply made silk frock may be worn by even a six- year old now. A delightful pussy wil- low trock—white, sprinkled with or- ange red in tiny design has just been finished for a dark haired little maid of ten. The sleeveless waist. worn over a guimp of white embroidered batlste. has a little vest of net on which are tiny buttons of orange-red velvet and a sash of velvet ribbon in the same tawny shade encircles a rather high waistline. The skirt. gathered full at the belt, is finished with a deep hem. The velvet: button- ed vest of net in this small frock is at‘ tached with snap-fasteners so that it may be removed and dipped in gaso- line for an occasional freshening. Challis is another fabric the mother relies on for at least one childish frock

each season. Such frocks may

be prettily trimmed with pussy willow silk plpings and covered buttons. and may have sashes ot' the new faille rib- bon or leather belts in tailored style.

SMOCKING A DISTINGUISHED TRIMMING.

Hand-wrought stnocking is one of the exclusive ﬁnishes for a child’s frock. and this trimming is seen on the expensive little costumes turned out by specialty shops for particular mothers. A simple little frock of white diniity. smocked across the yoke line and on the sleeve with Dutch blue silk was noted the other day in a. Fifth Avenue shop. The price was seven dollars. But, then. one may pay almost anything for a child’s clothes —accordlng to the material used and the place where one buys them. At

twenty nine dollars is n ravishing lit- tle party frock of shadow lace over shell pink accordion pleated chiffon. The lace skirt is in two ﬁounces. be- low a pink satin sash. and the bodice divides at the front to show a very narrow vest of pink chiffon on which are simulated “buttons” in the shape of pink silk rosebuds. Snap installers hold the fronts together underneath. These handy snaps are generally used on children‘s garments now, instead of tho inconvenient hooks and eyes which somehow little fingers could never manage and which were always being crushed out of shape under a llatiron. Children love to “snap the snaps." as one little girl aptly expres- ses it; and the fun of "snapping the snaps" frequently encournrgcs lazy lit- tle people to dress themselves in help- l’ul fashion.

CLEVERLY SHAPED POCKETS ON LITTLE COATS.

The pocket often makes the coat now; for modern pockets are so know- ingly placed where they add style and up-to—dateness to the simplest coat. Many of the new coats for small girls have a Dutch suggestion because of the full skirt flaring below a high-

placcd belt. and the long sleeved. ralli- cr close ﬁtting waist above. For these coats. in spring weight, are used serges. covert clothes. gabardines. mo- hair and wool weaves, and shepherd check worsteds. Very dressy little coats for wear over lingerie frocks are of pussy willow taffeta or of faille classique. a beautiful new faille silk which comes in all the new colorings. Tiny brass buttons stamped with the eagle device for military coats. big! white pearl buttons. silk covered but- tons, crochet buttons. ordinary bone buttons—one sees them all. Fascin- ating to the heart of childhood is a cadet bluc military coat with brass eagle buttons. and if to the brassvbut- toned coat are added a pair of the new "Little Trooper" boots of patent leath- or with high cloth tops having brass eagle buttons and a gay tassel of gold cord. the small heart will be near to bursting with delight.

MILITARY HATS.

Would you be in fashion? Then a~ dopt a but which in shape at least re- sembles one worn by some person in military service in the armies of Eur- ope.

It need not be a general officer. it: is the private or the marine who gets the head covering which is jauntlest. These hats just be of the sort which best becomes a. feminine face not. too old for small hats. which are only con- vincing when partly posed a triﬂe to- ward one ear.

Among the new milinery there is not a model exactly like Tommy Atkins‘. but there is a. tiny affair which covers no more of the hair than does his of scarlet cloth. Like the majority of the military hats not designed for service at the front. this one is of black vei- vet. A broad sided rever brim lies so ﬂatly against the crown that its pro.- ssnce would be overlooked but for. an edging of narrow silvcr ribbon. Tilly tassels on silver or gold are new a- mong military trimmings, but they are not a surprise, for they accord per- fectly with the tinsel braids and cord- ngs.

NEW BLOUBEO However enthusiastically the 0 piece dress is heralded from to season, it always develops l. the separate blouse holds its own ter all. And so it will, be this log spring and summer. notwi, standing the“ enthusiastic recap given the coat dress effects. As:

"I other springs we must reiterate t

fashion has advanced as can altogether compensate for loss.. Being a period of frocks furbelows. much interest is shown ;' frilly blouses. but since the mung, "I" is also abroad in the tam' and it is a. foregone conclusion t at. tailored blouses are also enteredln the running.

Among the latter there is a modal of substantial linen. line of weave. but not too thin to hold its. shape, made with a high stock having long pointed "ears" at the side and a bosom front with a centre closing eyelets for studs and stiff cun‘sjs near as posslble like his majesty. man's dress shirt before he exchang- ed it for the plaited one he now Wears. This style comes also in col- ored clients. for many a striped per- cale and linen waist will be seen with the ﬁve to ten-yard skirts.

Another mode bound to be popular has a shoulder yoke, long sleeves with turnback cuffs and a series of quart- er-inch pleats extending lengthwise from shoulder to waist. matching a whole front and back similarly plait- ed.

Then. too. one finds that most of the favorite blouses of the late win- ter in crepe de chine have been re- produced in linen, lawns and muslins. The reproduced models are a little closer fitting, perhaps, a. triﬂe more bodice-like to conform to the new mode. .

Blouses or striped silk are new and serviceable. The front fastening ex- tends to the top of the close stand up collar. The silk has a. white or light ground with a quarter inch stripe made of narrow stripes of two colors.

GOOD ROADS SAVE MONEY.

nothing

The campaign for good roads being carried on throughout Canada is only part of the general awakening of the people to the causes which have led to the enormous increase in the prices of the necessaries of life. That the trans- portation problem is all important for the tamer-producer is without ques- tion. That he must at all seasons reach his markets at a minimum of time and expense is a necessary factor in the making of reasonable prices for his products. For the consumer. good roads have an advantage in the facts that by enabling the farmers to reach the markets in greater numbers. the supplies of produce will be larger and competition will be kcener. A further consequence of this larger attendance will be that more attention will be paid to the condition of the produce offered by those displaying it for sale. In the present campaign for increased production, good roads will play an important part. Motor transportation is being rapidly developed and util- ized by the farmers. By Unis moaps greater distances can be covered and farmers at considerable distances from markets, with the ndvsnt of better roads will be able to bring their pro- duce to the consumer in larger quan- tities and at less cxpense.—Granby “Leader-Mail."
