FROCKS for Small
HOOSING clothes for little girls is a pleasant job. Maybe, too, you are achieving that am- bition
of long ago when you wanted a life-size doll. But this one falls down, scratches her knees, tears her frocks, and altogether behaves in a very lively manner.
Children's wear to-day practical and useful, rather than elaborate, relying more on the colour and fabric used for its appeal to the eye. Taffeta for Parties
Easy fit is of first importance; nothing irritates a child so much as a sleeve or scam which drags or chafes.
They have, too, their own fashions quite apart from their elders. For out-of-doors this season there is a wide demand for sandy and red brick strades, also a rather deep tone of be- coming saxe blue.
For party wear, taffeta is the Javourite: the secret of its popu- larily with children is that It rustles. Velveteen cones second: it is so soft and has rather grand look. It is practical, too, because i washes-a useful point. as even party frocks lose their freadmesa after a while,

SEASONING-AND-

FLAVOURINGS
and scasonings play an important part in every- day cooking, and make all the differ- ence to a dish that is merely good and one that calls forth worin praise from the diner,
But, whatever is used, seasoning must be adiled with discrellon; too much is worse than too little, su re- member that a little ipes a long way.
Salt is one of the most important. It Is Indispensable in the cooking of most foods, as well as one of thr cheapest antiseplies.
Use block salt for cooking; it is not only less expensive thân table salt, but the flavour is better for the par-
pose.
White pepper is a useful condiment. but cayenne and the black variety must be used sparingly. Pepper· is muitable for fch and highly flavour- ed dishes.
Mustard is a useful fluvouring.
It is a badly neglerled seasoning, used not nearly as often as it should be. This condiment improves most Savoury dishes, including game. poultry, beef and pork.

Absolutely harmless, Castoria can be given safely to the smallest baby. Inexpensive, too, a bottle of Castoria con- tains many doses.
