Little Girl
Look To Be
Fashionable
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Presi Correspondent
Summer fashion shows, now
under way in the showrooms
of hundreds of American manu
facturers, reveal a back to girl
hood look.
Little girls love to copy moth
er's clothes, but now mothers
can dress up in full-skirted org
andies and lace-edged cottons
that hark back to their own little
girl wardrobes.
I Next' summer's clothes allow
women to show off their figures
in a grownup way, however.
Those dainty white and pastel
organdy dresses have full skirts
and tight waists. Belts are often
wrap - around narrow ribbon
sashes that trail little girl stream
ers behind. .
Sheaths with ribbon-threaded
camisole necklines look youth
ful, yet cling to the figure and
sometimes show off a little extra
leg with sophisticated three-inch
slits at the sides of the skirt.
Girls interested in designing
careers will have a new field
open to them in the future
styling cars, not clothes.
' This prediction ' comes from
George W. Walker, vice presid
ent and director of styling for
the Ford Motor company.
, "We would like to get more
girls in our styling department,"
Walker told reporters this week.
"We hired our first three girls
in the past six months."
. Small World Department: Now
there is a wrist watch that tells
you what time it is in other
cities. The new' men's wrist
watch is for modern travellers
who cross time zones as often
as grandpa crossed the county
line.

sored by the Girl Scouts was

chinaware, and the Civic. Club

Special Box of Toys ,
Recommended During
Illness of Children
Pullman How do you keep
a sick-a-bed school child con
tented? As every mother knows,
that's not easy. But here's a sug
gestion that might help. It's from
Miss Emma Harris, of Washing
ton State college's child develop
ment staff.
Miss Harris suggests a special
box of toys. The toys should be
suited to quiet easy play and
should be brought out only when
the stay-in-bed rule is in order.
Playthings chosen, should be
easy to handle and not require
too much concentration to 'pre
vent tiring the child when he's
not up to par. Good choices are
jigsaw puzzles with large out
lines, coarse weaving materials,
sewing cards with large holes,
and lightweight -- blocks. Many
children like to cut pictures from
old magazines or make paper
dolls. - :
Miniature furniture ' with a
lightweight doll house or even
shoe boxes may provide inspira
tion for interior decoration ven
tures The hills and valley of
"counterpane land" offer a back
ground for arranging small box
es for houses and buildings, min
iature farm animals, dolls and
small automobiles or other light
weight vehicles.
A tray or stiff piece of card
board may be used as a table
or level surface for play-in-bed
toys. ,
If a child is so sick that he
must remain . very quiet, a bal
loon tied to the , bed where an
air current moves it slightly
often holds his interest for long
periods of time.
To save mothers extra work in
keeping the bedroom tidy, a bed
side waste basket is suggested
where the child can easily put
paper scraps. Another small bas
ket may . hold crayon and pencils
IT'S RUGGED AND IT'S
SO HANDSOMELY STYLED!
