LATE MODEL IN SEPARATE SKIRTS. When sports clothes made their ap pearance up-to-date women came and saw and were conquered by them. They are not classed among the fads of a season now but acknowledged as a new departure that promises to be come a permanent institution. They have added a lot of color and vivacity to the apparel of women, and have In fluenced styles in other lines. Al ready specialists in designing them have demonstrated that their charac ter and style lie in lines and in ma terials as much as in color. A separate skirt in a handsome plaid, shown in the picture, is not classed among sports skirts, although It might be. But it reflects the style of the sports skirt. It is made ankle length with bias edges of the goods joined in a seam down the back and the front. Pipings and parallel rows of most workmanlike machine stitch ing places it in the class that is dis tinguished by fine tailoring—and there is nothing better. The saddle-bag pockets, introduced early in the season, proved an inspira tion for several pocket effects which CHILD'S DRESS OF BATISTE FLOUNCING. are reappearing in the new fall mod els. In the skirt shown, a shaped band about the hips serves a double purpose, as it decorates and also provides a place for two pockets. Skirts of this kind are worn with plain waists of crepe de chine or of cotton materials. The combination of plaid skirt and plain colored coat, to match the dominant color of the skirt, is among the best of the new show ings for fall. The well-tailored sepa rate skirt is a joy to its possessor and gives months of good service. For the coldest weather long heavy coats will replace the coats to match, which are designed for immediate wear. When she goes visiting the little girl going on four or five or six is more than likely to wear a dress of batiste or organdie.

In the summertime her frilled bonnet is much like her dress, and In winter time it is apt to match her coat. The little frock pictured above is of machiue-embroidered batiste In a fine quality. Among the embroidered flounc ings there are many patterns that seem made especially for children’s dresses. The flower designs are dainty and the work fine. Such a pattern is needed for the little dress shown here. Frills are set in the short sleeves and they are made of the same flouncing as that used in the sldrt. The skirt Is set to a short baby waist, and what lit tle needlework there Is, is done by hand. The finest of organdie edgings and flouneings are used for making those dressy bonnets, with double frills about the face, that have a permanent place in style for little children. The bonnet shown has a puffed crown and is trimmed with a soft rosette of pink ribbon at the left side. Short sox and black strapped slip pers complete the visiting toilet of the little miss, in which she looks much like an animated doll. There is nothing unusual or different about this pretty outfit. Every little girl may have one like it. Every merchant car ries the materials needed for making it and all hearts warm to the daintily clad little ones in their frills und rib bons.

MUG TODAY’S BOYS ID GIRLS When Your Little Daughter Has Grown Up, What Therrt GREAT PROBLEM FOR PARENT Girl Should Be Trained for All Expec tations, Marriage Probably, But Maybe to Earn Her Own Living. By SIDONIE M. GRUENBERG. SOONER or later every boy begins to build his dreams of man’s estate about activities and interests related to the world’s work. It is expected of him that he will grow up to do some thing, and even if ho has no special predilection for work of any kind he cannot altogether escape the feeling that he will have to take his share when the time comes. With girls, how ever, the matter is different. But not because girls are necessarily different “by nature.” It is apparently a differ ence arising out of old traditions, for children will do their part to meet the prevailing expectations. This is shown by the fact that In cer tain classes of society the only picture the girls can form of their adult state is that of managing a household or act ing as hostess; whereas among others, looking forward to work at wages is the regular thing. It is taken for granted that the girl will earn her liv ing. And with comparatively rare ex ceptions, the assumption thus made will give color to tin* girl’s outlook and tone to her work of preparation. In spite of the fact that women are entering gainful occupations in ever increasing numbers, and in spite of the fact that women remain at “work” longer und longer periods, it is still to be expected that most girls will marry, and that they will become heads of households and of families. The prob lem of training for the adult years is thus complicated for the girl in a way that does not appear with the boy. With the boy grown up the vocation is the main concern of his time and thought; marriage and family are con sidered to be rather incidental. With the girl grown up, on the contrary, the home must be the chief concern, where as any other occupation is considered incidental. Since it is impossible to know be forehand, in nny given case, whether your daughter will or will not marry /i>*r — t f 'S'/h 1 J yy Since It Is Impossible to Know Wheth er Your Daughter Will or Will Not Marry. and have the opportunities and the re sponsibilities of wife and mother, it would seem to be necessary to give all girls preparation suitable for the mar ried state. And since, whether she mar ries or not, every girl should be pre pared to meet the requirements of modern life in the way of useful serv ice, she must carry the additional burden of preparation for some kind of remunerative work. With the girl who feels a “call” for special work the problem usually settles itself. This girl is likely to neglect everything and concentrate her efforts on preparation for the one thing important to her. She will throw herself into her work with the singleness of purpose that we usually expect of a good worker. Later, if chance and changing interests di rect her thoughts to the traditional “place” for women, her problem is an individual one, and she will make her preparations in the thorough and sys tematic manner that she previously applied to her vocational training. But with the vast majority of girls there is no “call,” and there is the need to look ahead and to prepare. Every girl should, therefore, be trained for some occupation worth en- ] tering, and this witli the standards not of the transient or casual worker, but With those of one who means to make a lifework of it. But this at once j raises the question whether it is worth while to spend the time and effort and money necessary for such training, in view of the probability that it may not be used to the full after ifis acquired. It may be said that it is worth while for every girl to become an expert in some line of activity, even if she does not need to depend upon it for her livelihood. It gives one a certain sense j of confidence to feel this reserve < strength of fitness. Moreover, accord ing to the newer views in education, j the culture and training to be gained through becoming an expert worker in some useful line are just as valuable as those to be acquired through the old-fashioned “general” education. And yet we cannot help feeling that there Is a certain element of unreality in training girls for work with a men tal reservation or hope that they wi'l not make use of the training. Is it quite sincere to drill Dorothy in de signing or telegraphy, while wishing, and while teaching her to wish, that she may escape the necessity of ap plying her skill? It Is Impossible to solve Dorothy’s problem in an entirely satisfactory way, unless we are willing to face the larger question of woman’s work and of woman’s place in the new society. The rising generation will have to solve the problem. Can we help them better by ignoring it and making our individual adjustments ns best we can, or can we accomplish more by looking at it squarely and, accepting the con ditions, fight through to some conclu sion? Our daughters are growing up, yours and mine. Must we anticipate for them the choice between n life of idleness on the one hand and the unsatisfactory conditions that prevail In most wom en’s occupations on the other? Must we accept for them either casual work and all this implies—perhaps for a He Will Take His Share When the Time Comes. short while, perhaps for a lifetime— or as the only alternative an expensive training for high grade efficiency that may lie utilized for but a short period and then go to waste? Must we have them look forward to an empty and idle middle age (after their children shull no longer need their continuous attention), either because they are not prepared for work worth .doing or be cause the organization of work does not permit them to utilize their train ing after the necessary Interruptions. This Is not Dorothy’s problem; it is our problem. And you women of mid dle age who have time and energy may well consider the problem of woman’s work, as it is bound to affect your daughters—and your sons, too. “Capped” His Story. Crop stories quite frequently rival “fish stories” in their tendency to ex ceed the speed limit in crossing the boundary line of veracity, the bigness of pumpkins and the immensity of cabbages, apples or potatoes equaling any big fish ever described. Now the capacity of soils for rais ing things and “starting something” to grow claims attentions. Here is a story of fertile land told by Dr. Nathan Schaeffer as a joke on himself. The richness of soil was being dis cussed with a woman farmer. Doctor Schaeffer glorified the crop possibili ties of his own county by saying: “Why, in our county the soil is so rich that if you stick a nail into the ground the next morning it has grown into a crowbar.” Whereupon the other replied: “Yes, I know, but in our county we use a tack for that purpose.” Swing of the Pendulum. Great reforms are only brought about in the United States, as In most other countries, through violent agita tion ; and, as is invariably the case, the agitation leads to measures unnec essarily stringent. The pendulum overswings its bal ance and reaction follows. It has been true in the past also that the period of reaction has been so violent as to nullify much of the good accomplished, lead to renewed public indifference and give opportunity for abuse of privilege to again entrench itself. So long as people govern themselves and a majority of the voters remain human, this will continue, hut with this gain, that the pendulum on its re turn never reaches the point from which it started to swing back. That constitutes the measures of beneficial accomplishment. Ancient Surnames. The bearers of some of the sur names which appear in medieval docu ments must have been glad of an ex cuse to change them. Apparently this was done, for the more grotesque have either vanished <>r been modified out of recognition, says the London Chronicle. Among the former are such names as Alice Thepunderstepdoghtre. Mazelina Stabwourchman, Frethesancela Del Oountynghouse, Gadlsman Attestrete sende and Thomas Wrankwisshe, which certainly have no claimants nowadays. Many surnames trade or service have been contracted, such as Le Lindrai>er into Druper, Le Cou hirde into Coward, Le Chapelayn into Chaplin and Le Gresuenour (gros ve ueur) into Grosveuor. HOW MRS.

Patrons of Winchester barber shops seem to have a mania for forgetting to pay their tonsorlal bills. In many cases it is done unintentionally. One evening, recently, a former Win chester resident who now lives in Cali fornia entered a barber shop for a haircut and shave. He was in a hurry. His business for the evening included a lodge meeting, and, most important of all, catching a train for his home. Many of his old-time friends were in the shop when he stepped from the chair. He bade them all good-by and started to leave the shop. He had not yet paid his bill. “Did you forget something?” the bar ber asked as the customer was leav ing the shop. “Oh, yes, I beg your pardon,” the customer replied. “Good-by, good-by.” And the bill still remains unpaid.— Indianapolis News.
