They consented only because they felt that It was a patriotic sacrtflce and that they might serve as an exam ple for others to follow.

Children's garments should be simple, substantial, comfortable and attractive. The simple clothes cost less, wear longer, look better and are more easily kept In order than the fussy articles of dress. All garments should allow for free dom of motion as It Is child nature to be alive. A garment which binds interferes with the proper develop ment ot the child and makes him Ir ritable. Skirt should be attached to waists, as a band which ia tight enough to hold the skirt la position la likely to Interfere with the circu lation. Dull uninteresting colors should not be used for children's Creases. Even If a color does fade It Is better to have the dress bright and attrac tive for a time rather than to have It always ugly. It colored material Is soaked la salt water, washed care fully and dried la the shade, the color will usually bold for some time. The proper fit of a garment has much to do with Its attractiveness, therefore. It Is unwise to make a dress too large even if children do grow rapidly. With the loose-fit ling garments ot the present day an ex tra tack will be all the provlaloa needed for growth, Charlotte E.
