THKHE is unmistakable smartness
and newness about the practical
coat for a girl of 10 or 11 years.
The material Is black and white
norsted in the rather larse checked
pattern now especially fashionable. Col
lar and cuffs are of dull, green suede
leather. The ball buttons are covereu
with this lull green suede, as is also
the oblons belt buckle. The belt is
held by invisible Bnap-fasteners under
the buckle and at the point of the tab
end. The bias-cut pockets are a smart
feature of this coat.
With widened skirts, children's coats
how higher waistline.', exactly as do
the i-oats of women. The upper part of
this coat of putty-colored moire poplin
is srarcfly more than a deep yoke.
Bands of flatly stitched silk braid and
amber buttons Ttnjted with onyx trim
the coat effectively. The fullness is
confined at the back, where the mate
rial is gathered along the yoke. The
black buttoned boots and simple hat
denote a costume intended for every
day and not dress wear.
Much of the style in a new childish
costume is due to the bis collar and
cuffs of striped pique, edsed with Iritih
lace. The pique stripes are deep blue,
matchins the blue shade of the coat
and the buttons are of smoked pearl.
Hijrh placed pockets susjrest the raised
waistline, although the coat is a sim
ple, flare model, lapped at the front
and closed with snap-fasteners under
tho ornamental buttons. Smart boots.

How to Clean Ribbon Told.
Kibbon or silks may be cleansed ly
washing them in the following manner:
A verv thick iather of castile soap and
lukewarm water is made and the riD
ter until clean, smoothing it all th
while through the hanU.
Kinso well in several supplies of tepid
water. The last rinsing water should
have a tablespoonful of methylated
spirit to a quart of water.
Jf a slight stiffening is required a
little gum arabic dissolved in hot wa
ter, boiled rice water, or a cup of milk
can be added to the last rinsing water.
After rinsing the ribbon or silk it
should be spread on a smooth towel,
pulled into shape and folded in a towel.
It should be left this way till it is
nearly dry. A piece of white mUslin is
then placed over it on the ironing
hoard and the Ironing should be done
over the muslin:-if the iron touches the
silk it makes it too shiny. Some silk or
satin waists can be ironed on the wrong
side.
Care or Shoes Necessity.
The care of the shoes is an absolute
necessity with the new fashion of short
dresses. The laced shoe has come in
again for both morning and afternoon
wear, though the type varies. For
morning the vamp has a finish of dull
tan or black leather, with a light fawn
or tan top. For afternoon the vamp is
of patent leather and the top is of paler
shades, is trimmed with a bit of the
patent leather and is altogether a more
decorative type of boot.

CHILDISH PLAY OR SCHOOL COAT
HAD BETTER BE BOUGHT READY-MADE
Economy Thus May Be Realized-Garments for Little "Women" Have Seasonable Smartness, Embracing Mili-
tary Features the Same as for "Grownups."
TIOL'HH many mothers still take
pleasure and find profit in mak
ing up the children's small frocks
in the home sewing-room during Len
ten weeks, It is the exceptional mother,
brave and self assured in her skill with
ccissors and needle, who essays to
build a childish coat. There is a smart
ness, a snappy style about even the
least expensive of the ready-made
models that is beyond the endeavor of
the average home dressmaker, and
when costs of material, time, the ex
pense of a seamstress-by-the-day, and
nervous energy are computed, the
ready-made coat is apt to be by far
the more economical choice. It is
wiser, at any rate, if expense must be
raved on the little girl's outer gar
ments, to make up the formal coat of
tilk or other high-priecd material at
borne, and to buy outright the school
and play coat at JS to $10 price.
These manufactured coats can be of
fered at moderate cost since so many
hundred models of each style are turned
out. The most expert designers, in
touch with latest and most authorita
tive style-inspirations, are employed,
and materials are bought in quantity at
about half what the individual mother
would pay over the counter. Every lit
tle coat, however simple in type, has
Its seasonable smartness of style. Its
ckillful trick of rut. its new and un
usual details of trimming, and the wise
mother is willing to pay for these
things, economizing if need be on some
other branch of the childish wardrobe
not o conspicuously in evidence as the
coat.
Check Worntrdu In W Fnvor.
There is a pleasing freshness and
Fpringlike suirge.'t'on about shepherd
checks and mothers find these fabrics
satisfactory for Childish coats because
soil traces are not especially dtscern
able on the mixed ground as they
would be on plain material. The
martest checked coats for little girl
hood this year are simple' in style, a
Kay lining of bright colored silk furn
ishing color contrast rather than brok
en patches of color in silk trimmings.
IVautifully cut in the new flare ef
fect is a shepherd checked mohair coat
for a tot of five. The checked pattern
is in black and white and the only
trimmings on the coat are some large
flat pearl buttons, so close together
that they touch, arc grouped above the
waistline on the front. A snap-fastener
also holds one of the belt-tabs over the
sash so that the latter need not be un
tied when the coat is removed. This
smart little mohair coat is lined with
the soft Dutch blue pussy willow eilk
and to match the coat, there are two
sets of pique collar .and cuff belong
ings; one set of white pique embroid
ered in blue silk, and the other set of
blue and white striped pique embroid
ered in white cotton floss.
Coat In Leather-Trimmed.
Or block-checked worsted in choco
late brown and white is a good-looking
coat for an older girl of 11 years.
This coat has a turned-down collar and
narrow, turned-back cuffs of buff
suede. Buttons covered with the suede
and a suede belt buckle give added
style and individuality. The coat has
a high-placed belt, dropped an inch or
two below the armpits and the skirt
flares in circular effect. Two pockets
of exaggerated size, cut from the
checked material on the bias, are set
below the belt at either side of the
front. The coat is lined with green
pussy-willow silk.
A blue serge coat for a girl of ten
has also the high-placed belt and a
flare cut below, while over shoulder
and arm the fit is close though not in
the least binding or tight. This coat
is immensely military, with cord loops
over brass eagle buttons down the
front as far as the belt, and a gilt belt
clasp that imitated the double clasp of
the naval officer's belt. A lining of
red goldenrod satin adds the final
touch of regimental dash. With this
delightful coat the lucky little girl will
wear a regimental turban of blue mi
lan trimmed with a cockade of pleated
red ribbon, and her boots will be the
fascinating new "Little Trooper" boots
of patent leather, wit5 red cloth tops
and brass eagle buttons.
TInr Glrl Provided For.
Charming coats for little girls are of
pussy-willow taffeta, all shlrrings,
puffings and ruffles. Sometimes the
entire skirt of the coat is of over
lapping ruffles.' the belt taking the
form of a knotted girdle. Other girls
wear more dignified coats of moire
poplin, mohair and worsted mixture
and faille classique, a soft yet substan
tial faille weave that has great luster.
Plum and peacock blue are favored
shades with mothers of exclusive taste.
Sand-colored and putty-colored coats
are also seen in abundance, but these
last two shades soil very easily and
though fashionable, are not very prac
tical for little people.
The girl of 10 wears her coat just
over the bend of the knee and the hem
of the frock does not show below the
coat. Smaller girls of three to seven
wear coats short enough to reveal the
turn of the knee and also an inch of
dainty frock beneath the coat-edge.
When the girl has reached her teens
even before, if she is well grown and
tall for her age her coat drops mid
way between knee and ankle and her
frock is an inch shorter, so that it may
not show below the coat. With the
smart Spring coat, my little woman
will wear white stockings of fine but
not sheer cotton or of heavy white
silk and buttoned boots of white buck
skin or of black or tan calf or patent
leather. Some mothers put short socks
on their children as soon as the sprout
ing crocuses promise Spring, but it is
safer to abide by the long stockings
until warm weather is really estab
lished. Small Hats for Childhood Also.
Like her mamma, this Spring, the
little maid has a rather 'small, chic
hat, worn a bit forward to shade the
eyes. Some of these hats, with narrow
rolled brims and high crowns of straw
and silk, are exceedingly smart. Mili
tary effects are seen also, and all
childish hats are most simply trimmed,
with tailored bows or cockades of rib
bons, or with tiny flower or fruit clus
ters posed against a band of velvet
ribbon. New mushrooms for Spring
are of beautifully fine mllan straw
with a fluted or ripple brim. Silk hats
of pussy-willow taffeta with pleated
frills and trimmings of velvet ribbon
and grape clusters, or small chenille
vegetables are especially gooa styie.
Silk Case Suggested to Pre
serve Veils.
When Gossamer Fabric Begin to
(iroiv Limp, Value In Style I
NOW that, veils are so fashionable,
and every well-dressed woman has
half a dozen or more different sorts of
veils to take care of, the resourceful
needleworker is busily evolving con
venient receptacles in which to keep
them. One veil may be folded up.
thrust through with a pin, and tossed
into the top bureau drawer; but when
there are six or seven veils to look
after, disaster will certainly follow
this method. And the moment a veil
becomes crushed and tangled up among
half a dozen of Us fellows, its freshness
and becomingness is ruined.
Veils are impalpable things. Fresh
ness is their chief charm and when
that Is gone, the veil, no matter how
expensive it was. had better be thrown
away. The fashionable veil of the mo
ment Is especially sheer and gossamer
like of fabric; it is also crisp when per.
fectly fresh. The moment it begins to
grow limp so that it will not float out
correctly from the hat, its value from
a stS'le standpoint has departed.
The best way to keep a number of
veils spie and span is to have a long
veil case of cretonne or silk, in which
the veils may be kept, each folded flatly
over a separate piece of cardboard.
When the veil Is removed from the hat,
fold It immediately around the card
board, which should be long enough to
reach from one edge of the veil to
the other. The case should be a little
longer than the cardboard strips and a
little wider than their width say
about 5 inches wide- by 18 long. It
may be made of any dainty, flowered
silk or of cretonne matching the dress
er belongings. If desired sachet may
be sprinkled on the strip of cotton
sheeting laid between cover and lining,
and the case should be closed with
snap-fasteners to keep out the dust
Such a veil case, just completed, is of
pink goldenrod satin to" match a pink
boudoir, with a lining of paler pink
pussy willow silk. A narrow band of
gold galloon finishes the edges of the
case all around and two snap fasteners
hold the envelope flap in place.
Subdued Tone Suggested for
Military Frocks.
Flowered Organdies Are Bock In
Fashion Norfolk Is Smart Coun
try Club Coatume.
THOUGH Army blue seems the color
of colors for a new Spring suit
on military lines, these suits are
really much more distinctive in the
natural tones, which are known as
sand, wet sand and putty shades. The
military suggestion of such a costume
in bright Army blue is really a little
too obvious and suggestive of light
opera; but these suits in sand or putty,
ev-'.n when trimmed lavishly with frog
ornaments, braid and eagle brass but
tons, are fetching and correct. Color
is added by a petticoat of bright pussy
willow silk and vivid cherries or ber
ries glowing through the invariable
veil draped over the small hat.
Flowered organdies are back in fash
ion and every woman will want to have
two or three of these charming frocks
this Summer. Very lovely effects mav
be obtained by mounting the flowered
organdie over thin silk. The silk need
not necessarily match the tint of the
flowers at all; for instance, a lavender-flowered
organdie is mounted over
pale pink pussy-willow silk; a rose
flowered organdie is mounted over
faint lilac, and so on. Black velvet
ribbon sas'hes are much fancied with
these pretty costumes and the sharp
note of b,lack seems to make 'the soft
colors of the organdie all the softer
and more dainty.
, For smart country club costumes in
Norfolk style there is a new silk ma
terial called Khaki-Kool. which comes
In various crisp weaves resembling
shantung and rajah pongees and in
smart shades -of sand, putty, dread
nought gray and in pearl and -cyster
white. These costumes are very sim
ple and very smartly tailored, with
belted coats above- wide circular skirts.
The natural shade of the Khaki-Kool
is sometimes matched by natural, silk
stockings; stockings to match the dark
and light gray shades are also care
fully selected for wear with black
pumps or boots. This Khaki-Kool has
a virtue of springing up, however it is
crushed, and will without doubt be
fancied also for Summer motor-coats.
Clever Heel Device Added
to New Outing Shoe.
Footwear for Sport l'e Has Flat
Lines as In Co-ed Styles, but Pre
cautions for Health of Wearer
Are Taken.
LOOK closely at a new outing shoe
for tennis, golf, yachting and gen
eral country-club wear and one will
perceive that the -foot in such a shoe
does not rest flat about the sole, but
is lifted considerably by a clever heel
device set between the shoe itself and
the rubber sole. Despite the comfort
and delight of flat-soled outing shoes,
they have been found dangerous to the
health of their wearers and to the con
tour of the feet, for the heel-less shoe
offers no support to the delicate arch

has become weakened ever so little, dis
astrous results follow.
This new outing shoe corrects the
fault of the old-style, flat-soled model,
although the comfort of the latter and
the informal characteristic lines have
been retained. The outing shoe is of
white buckskin and Russian leather,
with a sole of rubber or leather, as its
wearer may choose.
Wicker Basket for Garden
Tools Is Unique.
Useful and Ornamental Article Is

Woman Who I.Ikes to Potter Out
THE woman who loves to potter
'about her garden will be over
joyed to receive as an Raster gift one
ot fhe really luxurious tool baskets of
wicker and leather, which are exceed
ingly practical affairs, though they
probably would arouse some scorn in
a professional gardener of the sterner
sex. The basket is of natural wicker,
lined with colored leather and is a
roomy affair 12 inches in diameter
and 12 Inches deep about the size of
an ordinary bucket. Over the top
curves a stout wicker handle, by which
the basket may be carried on the arm.
In leather pockets around the inner
side of the basket are various neces
sities of the fair gardener's avocation,
paskages of twine, rolls of fine wire,
snipping scissors, cutting shears, and
so on; and in the center of the basket
are the requisite tools, spade, trowel,
gardening fork, small rake and the
like. If the gift ha3 too practical a
look, in spite of Its substantial cost,
roses, tulips, orchids, or any preferred
flowers may fill the basket, their
stems hiding the tools and the inten
tion of the basket from the recipient

How to Save Kettles and
Pans Is Told.
Though Expensive to Begin With.
Aluminum Is Ueclnred to Give
Best Service In Knl Knnmeled
Pans Require Care Also.
SAUCEPANS and kettles arc a con
siderable item in the hardware ac
count. If they are taken care of, how
ever, they will be found to last a long
time.
Different metals need different treat
ment. Aluminum is an ideal metal for
pans. It is rather expensive to begin
with, but will be found economical in
the end. It is a good investment.
Pans made from this metal must be
carefully washed and cleaned. Wash
aluminum vessels as soon as they are
done with as far as the cooking is
concerned. Wash them well with soap
and water. On no account use soda;
this will turn the metal black. To
clean aluminum mix whiting into a
paste with water. Rub on, and polish
off well. This will make them beauti
fully bright.
Enameled pans also need care or the
enamel cracks and chips off. If any
food has caught in an enamel pan,
steep it in water for a little while. Do
not scrape the burn off, for this in
jures the enamel. Dip a cloth in salt
and gently rub the burned parts. This
will bring it off without injury. As a
rule, wash them with hot water and
soap, both inside and out.
Iron saucepans will stand wear and
tear fairly well: soda in moderation
will not hurt them. When iron, sauce
pans are greasy, remove as much of it
as possible with paper, then burn the
paper. Wash the pan inside and out
with hot water and soap, to which a
lump of soda has been added. First
of all remove with an old knife all
soot that may have accumulated at

the bottom of the pan; this not only
makes the contents of the pan a long
time in cooking but wastes gas and
tire, as the soot prevents the heat pet
ting to the pan. Whifn the pan has
been, thoroughly washed go over it
both inside and out with a cloth
dipped in silver sand. Rinso thorough
ly, wipe out. and place on a rack to

thoroughly, or rust results.
Kettles need cleaning at intervals,
nlihnnirh thev are only used for water.
Sometimes a kettle will get lined with
"fur." It should then be cleaned in the
following way: Put about a teacup of
unslaked .lime into the kettle: fill up
,ith water and boll It for about an
hour. Emnty. rinse the kettle again
and again; finally boll some fresh water
in it to clear all trace of the lime
away. Iave water in the kettle all
night. If this pours off clear in the
morning the kettle is safe to use.
Kettles should never be left for any
