THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1922. 1 m Mi if" New and Original I Jbasnion pesigns By Mildred Lodcwick For Smart Women FROM the lime little daughter steps out of the co -cart she bectns her acquaint anceship with Madame I. Mode. Ilor little -frocks Cease to be mere ly clothes and breathe the atmosphere of style. Of course the tiny lot herself Is quite obliv ious to this, but her mother, whoso efforts have been spont In that direction, looks on with p'rldo. It Is not as easy as It seems to achieve stylo In youthful clothes. Thoy follow In the trail of tho fash Ions for grown-ups, but only express them In a naive, light - hearted manner. Anything too committal, too obvious ly smacking of the mode, Is not in good taste. The frock I am showing to-day Ideally Interprets1 the degree of style which children's clothes should Incorpor ate. It Is built on straight lines, ns so many ,-grown.-ups' are. and beltless, as are some of the newest. It also features the side trim' ming, being slashed up to the' hlpllne on each side seam, to be met by a braid or embroidered motif (hat drops a cord and tassel In tho open ing. Tho sleeves are slashed In the same manner as the skirt, with smaller motifs n placed on the shoulders. ' Should one choose vel veteen or duvetyn for the frock, or a woolen fabric such as suede clotl o r serge, tho gulmpe could be of China silk, find a plaited tetlon of It could also .'t In tho openings In , the skirt. JJut a mora practical suggestion for the skirt openings' would be to replace th'em with wde inverted plaits, 'which, when trimmed as suggested, would appear like openings. This model Is well' suited to the stout flgure.-althoiiKl) the slender one could also carry It smartly. It Is a delightfully adaptablo model that may ?t be madams dressy or as p( radical as Kg1 desired; though the choice of.fubrlcs nuu iruuuungs ana colors.

Before He Won His Car. When Ucorge II. O'Brien returns lo-duy to his llttlo homo at No. 102 Otis Avenue, Grant City, S. I., from another day's search for work, his wlfo, Clara, Is going to Impart to him somo good news. Already their three children, Maude, who Is ten; Orace, seven, and Dorothy, five, who know tho good news, nro dancing and dap pling their hands In glee and slnglu? Lizzie, and Mr. O'Brien, accordingly. I'apa O'Brien, who Is u carpenter has been out of work for six months. Last Sunday Ho sold tho family Ford to help pay the family's grocory bllfs. The children have been crying so do children becomo attached to retainers because they miss their JIM Lizzie, and Mr. O'Brlend, accordingly, has become more sad. But Mrs. O'Brlon has good news in sloro for him. An Kvcnlng World reporter carried It to her this morn Ing. "Whut Did 'You See To-Day7" page of Tho Evening WdTld, another l-'cud to replace the onu the chlldicn huve been crying for. i There's Joy In the little green house on Otis Street, which Mr. O'Rrlen vwHmmmm- ' i 5g.Q. r-. 1 OSR.IENJ, built with his own hands. "Ohl" exclaimed Mrs, O'Brien, "maybe It'li mean George's luck litis changed! He'll be so glud to hoar 111" Then followed the story or how Mr. O'Brleri has been out of work und how the qhlldrcn liava missed Lizzie, but tho O'lJrlen family deserves to win on more counts than these. "George and I together," said Mrs, O'Brien, "have been sending In Items to tho page since It first started. We must h-.e sent'at least fifty, but this Is the first one printed." Bo is it proved again that perse verance brings home the Ford. Try, try agalnl Mr. O'Brien saw his prize-winning "What Did You See" across tho street from his house. It was about a neighbor who was building a homo helped by his good wlfo. It was u sympathetic story because Mr. O'Brien b hlmsojf a carpenter und had Just a few months previously built a home under almost similar circumstances, and he told It well. Hero It Is: BUILDING A HOME BY CANDLE LIGHT. Directly across the street from, my home, No. 102 Otis Avenue, Grant City, 8. I., a carpenter is building a home for himself, working hard throughout the day for a contractor and working every evening on his own home that Is to be. Everything went pretty well with the plucky fal low until the daylight saving sea son ended, since which time it has not been possible to work In the evening to such advantage. To-night, however, we heard hammer and saw as late as 9.30, when I decided to step over and see how my friend coul'd possibly be carpentering in the. dark. He wasn't. His good wife, as am bitious as himself, held a lighted candle In each hand and was fol lowing him about from place to place.. They deserve and, are bound to have a good home.
