HEEDS OF Till: iKOWIU CHILD, i
Farts and Fancies for Tldlnsr Orrr
tha Awkward Af.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23. With everything
la dress tending; to promote grscefulneas,
the curse has been takrn from tha awk
ward sae of childhood. The all-lrsjs-snd-arm,
prrlod must come, of course, but the
modern mother Is learning how to soften
Ita angles so that the hobbledehoy In
either aex now seems a rare species.
The prime move toward aae of manner
with awkward children la to get them ac
customed to the etiquette of the toilet;
In abort, to betas: properly dressed for
ever occasion. As the nursery rhyme
tells us, fine clothes are prime moral
agents.
When I am dressed tip awful nice
I feel so awful (food.
As llttl hoys ami little aMrls
Just really always should.
"Awful nice" to all childhood means
something with a gala air, something
which always pre-suppose a function of
iomt sort, Juyenlle or otherwise. Bo let
us begin with party clothes for boys and
girls.
For chubby lads In their first trousers,
get-up of exaggerated plcturesquesneas Is
alwaya better than the conventional thing,
for somehow the late baby seems Invari
ably funny in his first trousers. A party
ault for a boy of 4. lately turned out by a
well known children's outfitter, seemed a
happy compromise between babyhood and
boyishness. Made of Ivory-white cloth,
the little suit consisted of very short
trousers short enough to show all of the
bare knees and. a wide-skirted coat with
a sailor collar. This was edged with a
band of heavy silk embroidery between rows
of tailor stitching. A fine mull shirt In
pale blue, wlih an embroidered frill and a
three-cornered hat of white felt, tied up
with ribbons, went with the suit.
By the same firm are already shown
ravishing little garments In white and col
ored pique for spring and summer wear.
These are for the younger ages In both
exes and Include suits made after the
model of the cloth one for boys and coat
with capes for girls. Wash embroideries
In white or a matching tint trim tbera
with simple elegance and the accompanying
headpiece for maidens Is usually a pique
or mull "waah" hat.
I know a Blotter who, without any claim
of keeping up with the styles, dresses her
children with such taste that they are al
waya observed with admiration. For the
two sons, respectively i5 and 10, she
chooses English fashions, holding that
tbeae have more diatloction than our own
American styles. Long trousers lp striped
materials and round coats something on
the Tuxedo order of plain stuffs compose
the afternoon splendor of the elder youth,
and over his knee trousers and "dinky"
Jackets the younger wears a "Russian"
overcoat. Thla Is of dark blue beaver
cloth with a Persian lamb collar and cuffs
and a frog fastening of black silk braid
for the fronts. A close cap of lamb la
worn on the bead and the . well-dressed
feet of the youngster display high-buttoned
boota of patent leather and kid.
Wearlaai Party Finery.
With the age of 10 the uncouth period
of girlhood' usually ' begins, and nothing
will soften.lt so. quickly as the babtt of
voarlng party finery. The shops are full
cf dance frocks for thla age and upward,
the diaphanous materials ranking first for
were loveliness. Dainty little gowns are
'jade of point d'esprlt, organdy, Swiss .and
novelty nets, with white always predom
inating, and the best things preserving at
t-very point a delicate simplicity. Narrow
ratio, ribbons, lace, garlands of small flow
ra and silver and gilt threads, strung In
tows through the nets, trim these fairy
toilettes, which run largely to bertha ef
fects and picturesque .sleeves. Wreaths of
artificial flowers are sometimes worn with
them on the head, and on the low satin
.Uppers there may be bunchy ribbon ro
settes. A delightful little gown for a girl of 10
Is made of Dresden silk (pale blue and
pink) with insertions of orauge lace. The
skirt has three scant frills edged and
beaded with this entre-deux, which stripe
the blouse bodice horizontally. A tucked
gimp of white moussellne fills In the
cut-but neck, from which falls a pointed
bertha flounce of the silk. Above this are
two garlands of pale pink artificial roses.
The sleeves are elbow length and are ratio
with two puffs andva flounce fall. With
euch a costume the bead wreath will be
found bewitching.
Where economy must be considered and
one gala dress be made to go through the
entire season, silk Is always a better In
vestment than the more airy textures.
Many really charming silks can be bad
chesner than textiles which appear less
pretentious, and of course they are vastly
more durable than the thin materials,
which, to be effective, should present al
ways a look of Immaculate freshness. Then,
too, silk Is easily trimmed, the gay plaids
especially requiring little morn than a
touch of black velvet on the bodice, shoul
der and sleeve knots perhaps, and a
streamer sash.
All gowns for girls below 12 sre most
effective when made with white gimps
and underaleeves. A high neck of the
gown stuff msy have its practical sides,
but It is neither stylish nor becoming.
Even If the bodice is a sailor blouse, to ac.
complish the requirements of fashion the
shield should be white, with so edge of
the same bordering the coll sr.
Street Clothes.
In street clothes It Is more difficult to
plans down awkward edges than in the fol-de-rols
of smarter finery, but, now that win
ter la still with us, the right sort of a coat
Is an admirable beginning in this direction.
Girls with narrow shoulders and defective
csrrisge should never wear the loose backed
box coats, which are stunning on their
plumper and more graceful sisters. For
them a fitted cloak la much mors desirable,
with capes widening the shoulders and re-
vers increasing the depth of the cheat. An
excellent coat for a 10-year-old girl Is made
f pals bisque cloth with a bias seam
slightly fitting the bark. The fronts are
loose and double-brestrd. and an ertie of
brown beaver trims the round cape, which
laps with a pointed end.
Thibet cloth In black, white and color Is
a new material for Juvenile cloaks, which
angora fur trims delightfully. This ma
terlsl, which, despite Its thickness, is ei
the same thing with th woman-child. Give
, her a Fash, hat streamers, long hair rib
j bons. and watch the effort upon her muscles
, as well as her moral nature. If you see her
at an unsuspecting moment you will truly
think that the wand of the enchanter has
been at work.
Some neat and inexpensive hata now
took little of her time and netted her a good
return. Phe rented a room In one of the big
office bulMings, whose busy daytime tenants
run up Into the hundreds. It was on the
top floor, and she paid (23 a month for It.
Then she Invested in a half dozen round.

never changed. It still girdles the waist

Teachers who Include the training of the
body In their curriculum assert that some
thing to carry In the hand decreases self
consciousness and helps to correct the
clumsiness of changing childhood. So give
the winter girls muffs and the boys canes,
which all English boys carry, and see how
the trick works. The big muffs now fash
ionable might serve this useful purpose
with one sex, and for the other the Eng
lish batters show the smart little canes,

anybody's mind away from himself.

ISVT THIS LOVELY
Happy Relations Between Mistresses
and Maids In Japan.
Politeness 'distinguishes the relations
between mistresses and maids in Japan.
It is so inexorable in Japan that even tho
ceremony of "giving notice" is turned into
an occasion of compliments. There are no
vulgar threats, or sulklugs, or recrlmlna
tlons, or scoldings, or "answerl'ng back."
A servant will never tell her mistress that
she is dissatisfied or has had some better
place offered her. That would be unpar-
donably rude. Instead she auks for a few
days' leave of absence. This is willingly
granted, for Japanese servants have no
settled time for taking holidays. At the
end of the given time the mistress will
begin to wonder what has become of the
girl. She Is not left to wonder long. A
letter arrives couched In the most polite
and bumble terms, and giving any excuse
but the real one. Sometimes It will be
that she has found herself too weak for
service or that illness at home detains her.
Whatever it may be, the plea is never con
tested, hut accepted as Dual, and a new
servant engaged. Then, after some weeks
have passed, very likely sfter taking
rresn place, tne oia servant win turn up
one day, express her thanks for past kind
cesses snd regrets st not returning in
time, will take her arrears of wages and
ber bundles and disappear forever. So the
matter ends with the- kindest semblance of
feeling on both sides. If the mistress on
ber part does not wish to have the girl
back she will not tell her so to her face
but will send word. Even when servants
come on trial for a tew days they often
leave nominally to fetch their belooglsgs
or make arrangements for their return
never because they have any "complaints"
to make. Any discomfort Is to be endured
rather than the suspicion of bsd manners
or of anything leading up to a "scene.'

A Clinical Preparation that Positively

A most important discovery bas been
made after a - year's patient laboratary
work aimed in a certain direction. It is
Newbro's Herpiclde, a preparation - that
cures baldness, prevents falling hair and
speedily and permanently eradicates dan
druff. These evils are caused by a germ
or parasite that burrows Into the scslp,
throwing up dandruff, as It seeks to sap
the life ot the hair at the root. There Is
no baldness without falling or thin balr,
no thin hair without dandruff, and do
dandruff if the germ is -destroyed. New
bro's Herpiclde It the only preparation
that will do tbe work. "Destroy the cause,
you remove the effect."
