In inanv American homes the old rusu>m prevails of having "company ilothes" for the children. 'Their hair must be ?-iiileU or crimped in tight plaiting; the ordinary play frock or Kirnham or percale is discarded and t.ne lawn or other material with val ii'sorling trust be put on; and a wide brimmed hat. oveitrimmed with all -"its uf Mowers and bows, is placed on the child's head to replace the BOaV i.et. IVually the six year old child !s overawed by this gear. Frequent an ' teonltions to keep her clothes ck?n. MfM for a lime but then she will ga ?m a "rampage*' and the mother won i!?rs what causes her misbehavior when visitors are iu Hie house, Plain (lollies for children mean happ ;ie?s and, happily, many mothers realize Now comes the beauty spot. Our ftreat-great-grandmothers. and even our great-great - grandfathers wore paichea?a small iiiece of at Icking plastcrish material on their faces a-i "beauty spots"?but tho beauty spots of today have changed. They are painted. The beiuty spot, it seems, is a ne? cessity for the fashionable beauty of today. The little brown mole, sup? posed to call attention to some par? ticular beauty spot of the face may or may not be natural, and usually now? adays it is not. The mole is painte 1. Where there is no mole aU the wo? man has to i'o is to paint ?jjiie. and it hardly takes the talent of an artist to give plea-ing re*ults. The paint er works in the same manner as The THKKK was once a certain Ris ing Young Man in an onV > who could and insisted on telling you more about wha' frwa going on in the office than all the rest of the employes put together, and the Ross himself thrown in for good measure. As a nifty little news catherer of office gossip he was the only and original Paul Pry. He knew when Sirnpkins borrowed five dollars from Smithson to pay his gas bill, and straightaway he asked the man next nim whether he thought Sirppkins was s)?ondina his money In a |>oolroom or a bucket shop?since i' ?ould scrrc<?iy lie bonze that was claiming it.

Nobody appreciated him. "Every? one tried 10 make it hard for him. He had in an his work and the man n?-xt him and the one abo? ? him.

Plain clothes also mean ? great rav? ing for the household. Th I reed)' in some shoi> window, all covered with dainty embroidery and finery. The *inlus.Ml shop girl will offer the Infor tiiation that the dress is exactly Ilka one made for a certain little princes and that it cost tnu'h ?aasy^r. The mother is apt to think it ha-d! fair that her children should be dress td in gtngham and percale But, ax .1 ft, little princess's are noi .1,lowed to wear that kind of dresses?the kind that cost hundreds of dollars until they are grown. Those little members of royalty often are garbed as other children, in gingham and per? cale. The child loves a simple dress, a dtess that can be used for all sorts of romping and playing. One practical n'other adopts a color scheme in the dressing of each of her daughters and ???liiere:- to it with considerable sat is-j fa< tlon. Her scheme is to dress one daughtt r for a season In. say, ecru, tan and white. There are little ecru checked dresses and tan and white striped dresses, all to be worn with one big ecru hat with a brown bow and i> little tan cloth eaat The color ing of these dresses Just suit th* child's eyes, hair and cheeks. ' The smaller sister, on the other hand, is a decided blonde, and for her there is nothing but blue, nine ging-' hame. blue and white percales, blue iradras. a wide whitd hat with a navy lilue bow. and a blue serge coat are arranged to give (he little sister a va? riety of dresses. Children's dresses should all be made in the very simplest of styles. They should be mostly of the one piece effects, and the triinmina should never be elaborate. There should be iiands of white cotton braid on some if the dresses, and a few embroidered lots on others. There should be no a?e on any of them and not a ruffle 11 tat i ntire wardrobe. Tbe unity of olor effect and simplicity of line Bake the child well dressed. The wise mother believes In buying photo retoucher for care is taken in the. selta tion Of the most beautiful j spot of the face. The retoucher of \ photo follows the same plan, placins his dab of paint where It gives the best results. The present day face is given al most as much attention as the photo.j It is a paying prefessiors*-that of wo? men who touch complexions?and tl-?se skilled women possess the deft? ness of an artist. There is very lit? tle thiy do not know about the com plexion. and they can beautify a hu? man face so that it will look quite natural, when seen at a little distance When al' the natural methods of beau-1 tifyins the fare fail, the ?aint box is resorted to and artificial means ?sake] the woman a beauty. ln the nalnt-j ma Man kind nis great-great-grandfather us -d to raise back in 1840. He would ex press an opinion?and that. too. as though it were a personal mi'tterand the other fellow a liar?about any and everything under the sun. He'd have ?he last word in the matter or die in the attempt. He was forever and a day talking about fights and fighters and "yellow streaks" and "quitters." He carried a <hip on each shoulder and another between his teeth and seemed fairly itching to have some one knock it off: He considered himself :he leader of all the rest in everyythine. and h? talked himself into believing thit everyone in the office feared him? mentally and phys'rslly. He was the one and only real mans man. When kg played cards he banged his card down on ;he table at -jach play and he yelled and stormed and wanted to fight if told him he'd failed to follow suit. In noker. for instance. If he called a raise " and the "shown-dowa" snow ed that the oth<?r fellow was merer. bluffing, he considered ft a personal SMsplav of his own "nerve." If the other fellow bluffed him out. he con? sidered it merely an error fn judg ment. and not a case of "cold feet." Have you one of him in your ofn>?* No. no. airee? yon don't have ro.b-? told more about him do yon? There was once a ?-ertaln Rising Young Man who ,-onsidered himself ?he real thing and the onl? flossy eandy when it rame to the ladi a. He talked much during the day?la fart he worked only when he wasn't talk Ing And always his coaveraatioa was of the "skirt" he was with the past evening. At least twke a week he had "ngacements w|?h some dsm sei who had beep pest, ring him for months with unwelcome attention* And he simply conldn t help 'he c!? calling him up lo phone during bus < Ines? nours. could he" He gdj as hlase In the extr<me snd tired of the whole fwtti- oat bus? iness, mil he'd nearly fall out of the window rubbering at a girl who hap pened kg stance in as see passed the offtc He laughed st women ton. and declared them stl idiots for wear Ing hoohle ?hin? and mushroom ???'?

These dresses - made clothes one sees In the stores 'help in the era of simplicity of chil? dren's dress. Of course, every now and theu we see a pretty little dress every one ot tliem should be discard? ed at the end of the season. The rap idly growing child looks her worst in (a dress that is too small for her either loo short or too light. Hut the I dresses need not be thrown awav. I They should be passed down to the younger sister. There should be no elaborate lln I Kerle hats. The latter should not be' too good for romping and playing, t'hildren should be left free from the curse of fine clothes until they get to I an age when tlnci ies and furbelow? | mean pleasure to them. They should be dressed prettily, but as simply as IKisslble in order that they will be comfortable. This also applies to the school clothes for the older children. Mauv o' the latest French dresses for school ar? of the worsted weaves and they are not suitable for the very you n^t child. The hats for school girls ar ? exactly like those worn by older girls, with the exception that ihey are made mm h smaller and trimmed w ith a very dainty finish. Hig bows and rib? bons lake the place of feathers and plumes In most cases. Plaid is an early winter tavorite as ' a material for the school girl's frock. Green and blue la the most worn, and the blue coat is very simply made. ' The hat to na> with this is made on | the tam-o'-shanter order and is sug ? gestive of the prevailing soft crown. ' The old (usiom of tine < lothes for I children is gradually going out anil before long all the little ones will b.1 dressed solely for their own comfort ( A skilled trained nurse once made the remark that a "good baby was a I comfortable baby." and this same idea ' holds true with children. The good: girl of six summers Is the girl who i?j rot dresse d in starc hed garments, her1 hair done up In tight plaits and wear? ing shoes that pinch her little to?s. , ing little, delicate brushes are used. The brushes are of camel's hair, and when the artist works she places her j paints on a palette and paints like a regular artist. With the late styles the court plav ' ter beauty spot looks entirely too ar-] titic'al for the best results. The vogue! of the beauty spot is a large one. There are very few women who have I moles on their faces at the desired spots. They posses.- the moles, but \ ihey are generally in the wrong place The Kota is the real beauty spot anl Is not considered an objectionable mark. It should be perfectly rounJ and of a dark brown color. It should be situated at just the proper place to attract attention to the eye. the lips or some other part of the face that is the most attractive. If. for example the contour of thei cheek is the most peautiful- ..ortion of! the face then there is where the mote | should be situated. Then. too. some? times there are moles in the proper position but they are not dark enough and have- to be painted.,. It is the best plan to study the fact) and And out whei-? the mole will give the best re-, suits to enhance the value of the beauty. Water color paints are used in the work. The mole, or beauty spot, is paint eC on the last thing. The beauty doc ; tor must consult her patient as well; as use her own ideas, and there is often a heated argument as to Just j what is the real spot for the beauty, touch. The shin of mosi * omen is an Ivory color v>d very few of lhem possyss really white skins. The bru-. netle who desires a pure white com-1 plexion makes a decided mistake, and she will look muc h better if she uses cosmetics and creams tinted the least bit with saffron The brunette can also use. a cream tinted with rose. This should be worked well into the skin and then the face can be painted j over with a saffron tinted wash of1 seme variety The facw that has no good founda? tion should never he touched up until makeup is thorouahly applied. For the ordinary face there is a varnish Ing cream of a white < olor. and over this a wash, tinted with either ivorr oi pink. Is applied according lo 'he wishes of the patient. Very few wo-, men can apply this wash satlafnrtorliy, V is very simple to make -l! is Mitti-] posed mosttv of exide of sine a little' rose water and encugb water to make the lotion a fluid. The tinting Is done with carmine or saffron, al-l though it is much better to it?e a lit-, tie of the rouge that the patient hx in 3ho habit of wearing in liquid form In this color the red color will har motiiz. The wash is applied with absorbent cotton to the face and neck. II can ? hen be wiped off with a niece of sot: cloth before it is allowed to dry. Th?
