roominess. There seems room to grow in
it, atid this Is a point that should be
carefully considered by the mother who
makes the children's clothes at home.
The ready-made frock, which is pur
chased several sizes too large, for eco
nomical motives, is apt to fit awkwardly;
but the frock made at home may be cun
ningly devised with arrangements for let
ting out as the season advances. The
growing girl does not change much in
breadth or shoulder in six months, but
in length of skirt and sleeve she makes
astonishing strides. The waist should
also be arranged so that it may be easily
let out. for nothing is worse for the
young girl budding into womanhood thin
to have her waist constricted by the
tight band of an ill-fitting and outgrown
frock.

the hardest. and dressing the awkward
girl,, though the least of her great prob
lems, is a very harassing matter.
One wdnders how any of us grown folk
would feel if in six months she should
shoot up six inches in height and be
forced to manipulate hands and feet three
or four slsea larger than she has been
used to. The "awkwardness" of growing
girlhood Is grace compared to the pitiable
efforts most of us would have to make, in
such event, to move, sit and talk with any
appearance of ease or naturalness. A
consideration that many mothers utterly
overlook is the matter of type. One young
girl may be adorable in what on another
would be most unattractive. One child
demands fluffy, frilly things, while an
other is at her best in severe, simple lit
?
tie garments. Some small girts should be
made piquant by their costume; others are
adorable in quaint, old-fashioned styles.
Even a very homely little girl may be
made distinguished and interesting if
smartly dressed; and not one little girl in
a thousand is really homely?especially
when judicially and daintily clothed.
?
* *
So every mother should consider, first
of all, the possibilities of the small daugh
ter; the lines of her growing young figure;
the most becoming colors and styles to
suit her style and her coloring; and the
very best way to do her hair. Little girls
have very decided ideas about what they

Some of the warmest weather of the
year cornea In September, and the first
school frock will be much more comfort
able and appropriate if made of ging
ham, linen, or some similar washable
material, and this frock may !?e worn,
under a long coat, until late in October
even on certain days in November. A
very charming little frock, made of
srrlped silk novelty gingham, is illus
trated. linen straps in plain color form
ing a simple yet effective trimming, and
belt and necktie being of soft .<?ilk. The
admirable feature about this frock is its
E little heir of all the ages who
I makes bis appearance in this
I age finds every provision for
^ his comfort and happiness^ and
some luxuries which would not
have been dreamed of in the preparation
for his father's babyhood. Each year tbe
little specialty shops which cater to
baby's needs exclusively are gaining in
number, and the department shops, also,
are devoting more space to practical lay
ettes and helpful little novelties for the
baby's comfort. The dressing of Xhe baby
has been reduced to a science, and his
babyship should be deeply grateful that
the heavy, two-yard skirts have been
done away with, and also the ugly
swathings of muslin around his tender
little wai^t and the aggravating ruffles of
starched embroidery which used to tickle
his chin and scratch his wrests.
The little frocks, petticoats and slips
may be of the finest possible material,
with trimmings of thread lace and real
mechlin; or they may be of fifteen-cent

nainsook, with pretty Imitation val frills
at neck and wrists; but always they are
exquisitely soft and simple, with hand
stitches, touches of dainty featherstitch -
in* and hemstitching, and the tiniest of
lace buttons with little buttonholes beau
tifully worked. More elaborate frocks for
occasions are made of Paris muslin and
pin-dotted Swiss, with insertlngs of real
!ace and sprays of fine hand embroidery.
The sleeves are set In with fine seam
headings, and the deep hem on t?e bot
tom of the skirt Is featherstitched or
hemstitched.
It is wise to make the little dresses in
roomy sige, a three-month pattern being
selected even for the layette. There Is no
telling how big his babyship will be and
it fa a pity to have to discard the care
fully made dresses because they simply
will not go on over chubby arms and
shoulders. If made in a little larger size
tiny tucks may be set In at armholes and
wrists, and there may be a bobbin tape
run through a tiny rasing In the neck.
When hat>y has grown a bit it will be a
very simple matter to let out the little
tucks and enlarge the drees or slip.
Such trifles as bootees, bibs, fanry
sacques and the like are usually furnish
ed in plenty by adoring friends and rela
tives. The shops are full of these little
belongings, both made up and In pattern
form, with pretty designs stamped for
hand embroidering, and the list includes
everything needed for baby's comfort ex
cept the most practical garments.
Kimono sacques. or nightingales, as
they are sometimes called, are very easy
to make and no one need be afraid that
the young mother will be presented with
too many of these little sacques. They
soon become soiled and lose their dainti
ness after being washed; yet the baby
must always be provided with a stock of
fresh little jackets to slip on when pre
sented to visitors. Thin albatross laid
over colored silk and embroidered with
blue forget-me-nots or faint pink rose
buds matching the silken lining, makes a
charming sacque, or plain white or col
ored albatross or cashmere may be scal
loped and embroidered and used without
the lining slip.
m
* ?
A dainty little sacque is made by fold
ing the material crosswise and tracing a
clfcle. A smaller circle I* cut out for tne
neck, a straight cut downy the center
forms the front opening, and diagonal
cuts half way up in the middle of each
quarter segment form the sleeves. All
the edges are finished with shallow seal
lops marked with a Bpool. the neck open
ing being bound with satin ribbon, the
ends of which make a bow to fasten the
sacque. Narrow ribbons tie the under
arm seams and the under-eleeve seams
together.
A baby pillow la always a welcome gift,
and this pillow should be rather small?
about nine by twelve Inches?and filled
with down. The pillow itself should be
made of white muslin and the dainty
cover should be provided with small but
tons and buttonholes, so that It may be
removed for frequent laundering#. The
embroidery, of course, should be ex
quisitively fine and should be preferably
at the edges and on the corners of the
slip, so that the little face pressed against
the pillow may not be scratched. Three
inch squares of sheer lawn, connected by
lines of German val lace Insertion, set In
horizontally and vertically, make a
pretty pillow cover, and in the center of
each square there may be embroidered a
small spray of forget-me-nots or violets
all in pure white, of course.
A coverlet to match the pillow will
make a charming gift and one that will
be much appreciated by the little mother.
The coverlet should be made of the same
sheer white lawn, but the embroidery
may be more elaborate than that on tfie
pillow, and the ruffle around the edge
will be deeper. The baby's monogram In
letters three inches long may lie worked
in the center of the cover; or there may
be three small Initials set in a medallion
of flowers. Through Mits buttonholded at
the bottom of the cover should be ruil
satin ribbon, a big bow being tied in one
corner.

The baby's bassinette is usually made
by the mother herself, who loves to drape
the dainty lace-trimmed frills over the
couch that is Koing to hold her priceless
treasure. A very .pretty bassinette is Il
lustrated. and such a bed can readily be
made by loving mother Angers over the
light wicker framework which forms the
foundation. The basket top of the frame
work is lined with soft silk quilted over
layers of cotton, and the outside Is trim
med with white net on which are aewed
insertions of inexpensive lace. The hood
is made of net and silk, shirred over light
reeds, and the whole bassinette Is trim
med with big ribbon bows?blue for a
boy, according to the old tradition, and
pink for a girl.
The creeping rug Illustrated will be
adored by the six or eight months' old

usually being Influenced by the raiment of
the dearest friend, or the other girls In the
class at school! but though It is often
well to allow the child some latitude in
choice for the development of taste and
self-expression, in some things the mother
must stand firm. There Is no reason why
lovely curly hair should be braided and
looped up with ribbons, spoiling its curl

wavlness will be so valued. The well de
veloped little girl of fourteen may not
wear the babyish, short frocks of her
ethereal intimate friend; nor should the
scrawny-necked, sharp-chinned child be
permitted the fascinating Dutch necks of
her plump mate.
Exaggerated ribbon hair bows are not
worn now except by the little messenger
girls in the department stores. The
smartly dressed young girl, whom one
sees on 5th avenue, when morning school
is over, wears her hair softly braided and
tied with a single ribbon at the base of
the neck, a shell barrette holding the ends
together half way down, from where a
loose curl falls to the waist. Sometimes
a shell barrette Is used instead of the
bow at the neck; but this emblem of
young girlhood is too becoming and too
pretty ever to be really given up. Hair
ribbons are of the best quality ribbon in
a soft satin taffeta weave, and are invari
ably dark in coloring for school and street
wear. Black hair ribbons are preferred by
French mothers, the touch of somber color
adding a certain chic to dainty frocka; but
navy blue is a color most attractive and
most becoming to young faces. Bright
scarlet hair ribbons are worn by smaller
girls?under their teens?with the brightly
plaided wool frocks which are always so
attractive in first fall days.

The growing girl's hair should be kept
clean, soft and fluffy by frequent sham
poos, especially during school days, when
the dust and flying chalk of the school
room tend to make the light hair dingy
and colorless. The front hair may be
parted and slightly rolled at the sides, or
a moderate pompadour may be allowed,
but the locks should not be cut Into any
semblance of a "bang." In extreme youth
the hair grows healthily and strongly

the character to a child's frock, and tbia
cut should be rather high In rounded or
shallow square Dutch atyle; the low
bodice worn over an expanse of white
guintpe not being as smart now as the
small yoke appearing above a rounded
out or squared neck. Very smart turn
down linen collars with flowing ties,
something like the neck dressing of the
small boy, are worn with school frocks
by little girls, but the dressy lace collars
should be kept for "dress-up" wear, lace
not being considered In good taste on the
little girl's morning or school costume.
