It is not an easy matter to work
style or smartness into the youngster’s
everyday clothes. One Is so afraid
f overdressing the little one, and, of
course. It Is far better to err on the
side of simplicity.
It is, therefore, welcome delight that
the mother or woman with small chil
dren to dress feels when she pomes
across such a smart little slip as this

or chambray.

in the crossed straps, which, with their

Appropriations 500 Per Cent Larger
Than They Were 25 Years Ago,
Reaching $12,683,656 In 1915.
Public appropriations for schools
for the year 1915 total $12,683,656, as
compared with $2,212,952 a quarter of
a century ago—an increase for public
appropriations for state normal schools
of over 500 per cent In the last 25
years, according to figures compiled by
Uncle Sam.
“A public normal school Is a peculiar
school,” says a government expert. “It
is equally true that the peculiar work
of such a school cannot be delegated to
any other school. No other school can
prepare teachers so well for their work
as the school which makes such prepa
ration its sole business.”

HOME GARDENING IS URGED
Uncle Sam’s Expert Saye Work Should
Be Directed Through Schools by
Teacher* Employed by City.
That home gardening, directed by
the school, is the most effective way
for bringing boys and girls into closer
relationship with the affairs of life,
is asserted by C. D. Jarvis in a bulle
tin on “Gardening in Elementary City
Schools,” issued by the bureau of ed
ucation of the department of the in
terior. Mr. Jarvis declares:
“In or about almost any city there
may be found an abundance of land
that may be used for productive gar
dening by school children. Within the
limits of many cities there Is sufficient
land, If Intensely cultivated, to supply
the people with all the vegetables and
a large proportion of the fruits and
flowers needed. This unused land
should be brought under cultivation.”
In order that the best use may be
made of this land for educational and
productive purposes, it Is suggested
that trained and experienced teachers
of gardening should be employed in
every city.
"Such teachers would instruct the
children directly and the parents In
directly,” declares Mr. Jarvis, “with
the result that in a few years a gener
ation of capable gardeners would be
developed.
But the development of
strong-bodied, efficient and contented
citizens is the real purpose and the
main result of this work. With a com
mon knowledge of the principles and
possibilities of crop production, the
wage-earner of the future will not need
to measure his income solely by the
size of his pay envelope. He will con
sider, also, the productive capabilities
of his garden plat and the extent to
which it will reduce the coat of living.
He will see the advantages of a svbur-
ban home, contrasted with the crowd
ed and unwholesome tenement."

slightly shortened to be worn over

Aside from the bretelles, the frock
is simple enough. The inserted panel
at the front gives an unusual line
without much extra trouble. Sleeves
are raglan, and' the collar a plain lay-

one side of the front panel from the
shoulder down ; just enough to allow
the garment to be slipped over the
head. The strap arrangement can be
repeated in the back, without the
wedge-shaped panel, however.
SILKS
FOR
OUTING
SKIRTS
New Designs for Sports Wear Have
Hugo Disk* In Plain or Broken
Stripe Color*.
If there Is anything more luxurious
than a satin-soft silk sports skirt one
cannot guess what It can be. The
very sensation of playing golf and
tennis in a shimmering silk skirt must
convey a suggestion of well-being. New
sports silks for these skirts have huge
disks in plain or broken stripe colors
and the skirt is smartest when plaited
or gathered, below a fitted yoke, a
broad sash of the material going twice
around and knotting below one hip.
Very fetching Is a pattern of Roman
striped disks on a wedgewood blue
ground; another pattern shows green
disks on a pale tan ground—this in
light shantung weave. Sports silks In
the soft La Jerz weave, which will
not stretch like ordinary jersey silk,
have rose pink dots on a white ground,
and one may buy plain rose La Jerz
for trimmings and coat. Of course,
there are many other colorings, but
the rose hue seems to be loveliest
of all.
Copper-colored blouses are gain

Waists for Maids.
Frocks for children continue to show
a normal or high waistline for spring
and summer, and sheer fabrics are
largely featured for girls under six
years, although, of course, sturdy
tailored models are shown. The ward
robe of every little miss must contain
a number of these dresses for play.
Smock and middy blouses show
promise of being extremely popular,
and the little suspender dresses, with
skirt and shoulder straps of colored
fabric, blouse or guimpe of white, are
also approved. This type of frock is
very sensible, as the little guimpe may
be laundered much more easily than
an entire frock, and with this part of
the garment fresh, a skirt of dark
linen may be worn several days,
whereas ordinarily a fresh dress
would be required at least once
a day. Some of the cleverest little
suits—coat and skirt affairs—for girls
of no more than six years are being
shown this season.
