CHILDREN CANT BE TOO YOUNG.

Here there is no doubt the con. servative mother must make "con- cessions, but she can begin when her daughters are young to build up a feeling for appropriateness.
If there is any class distinction. în, clothes it is not between the woman who wears expensive clothes and the one who wears inexpensive ones, but between the woman who wears the right thing at the tight time and the one who wears the wrong thing.

Clothes and the Health. Childhood is the time, too, to give then some sound ideas to the re- lation of clothes to health. I suppose more mothers have run to the door to call out to their sons and daugh- ters, "I know you aren't warm enough," than there are sen sands.
The way to get around this is to make the clothes which are essential to health attractive.
Another thing a child should learn about clothes is appreciate quality. do not mean that he should be caught to buy only ex- pensive things. But he should learn to look for a certain honesty which is a characteristic of all good work- manship.

Most children have a fairly acute colour sense and sense of touch, but few of them have any feeling for line. The eye for beauty of line is an educated one.
Indirectly a great deal of the dit ference of opinion on clothes arises out of the difference in the ability to recognise good and bad lines Very scant skirts are offensive to us, not probably because they are are immodest, but because they are ugly, because the tight, short skirt ia înartistic.

Women of our mothers' genera- tion were not, as a rule, expert st golf or tennis, but they possessed any number of domestic virtues, and although they were never allow. ed out aloos with young men, they know how to entertain very charm- ingly inside their own houses.
We, on the other, hand, are efficient as far as outdoor sport is concerned, but totally lacking in domestic virtues. We treat Bar home, or flat, simply as a place where we can sleep, eat breakfast and change our clothes.
The time and care that women in the past spent on their beuses we now spend on their personal ap- pearance.
We are so used to being some one else's guest in these days, that we feel awkward in the part of hostess. Therefore, we must take good care that our personal appearance is na attractive as possible and that we Other- are entertaining as guests wise we stand in grave danger of joining the several million extra spinsters in the world.

There is no better time to learn the effect of the line of clothes than during the years when the figure shoots up from fat babyhood to womanhood.
To realise when to change from straight dresses to belted ones is to have made oneself conscious that figures change enough to demand

Let children have some of the things they want, even if they do not suit you, and, above all, do not make them have what they do not woot. Most of all, clothes should be enjoyed.
The Fitness of Things.
If they are helped by the judgment and taste of an elder woman, and, in addition, if an interest is taken in their small ideas for dressing themselves when they are very young, they will grow up appreciat- ing the part that dress plays in life, vet familiar enough with its every "Iure and fascination to withstand vanity and any temptation to be monopolined by its charms,
Moreover, if they begin developing a clothes sense early in life they will grow up aware of their increns- ing personality, conscious of a need to dress according to their age and individuality.
People have been heard to remark that children these days are much too precocious, too interested and informed about matters that should be outside their knowledge,

Many of the new afternoon dresses and coats are being made with frills of very fine flat knife pleating and pin tucks in the place of hems, edgings or collars ant cuffs.
Coloured crêpe eatin with a white pin dot is very fashionable just now. It can be used for both the dress and coat, or else simply for the dress, which can be worn under a three-quarter or full length coat of fine rep which matches it exactly in colour.
An ensemble, of this sort is so useful because it can be worn for a luncheon or a cocktail party. It
will look well for dining in day clothes at J restaurant, or for supper where evening dress is not essential,

Bows are becoming very smart. They are used on evening dressLS, evening coats, and afternoon coats made of thin materins: Many satin and patterned chiffon evening dresses have their narrow shoulder straps tied in a bow,
Taffeta evening dresses often have a large bow on one side of the skirt with long ends forming a side panel, while afternoon conts instead of collars have bows tied at the back of the neck. All these different kind of bows have one thing in common, they are invariably cut in one with the garment they adorn.
I saw in Whiteaway, Laidlaw's the new shape "Simmonds" beds which I thought very pretty. They are lower than the old shape, with semi-circular head and foot boarde, but made of the same excellent material which it is no difficulty to keep scrupulously clean.
