The "gingham taffetas" that were presented early in the spring were especially welcome for children's dresses and led up to the use of other silks. Pongee turns out to be as good a choice as can be made for the smaller girls who may have this and gingham taffetas to add something splendid to their possessions, while the flapper re joices in plain taffeta, finished off with a little simple embroidery, and ging ham taffetas made up to suit her youthfulness," with net or organdie. The pongees and gingham taffetas for the smaller girls are designed about as their cotton or linen dresses are. Very narrow filet edgings or cluny edgings provide a pretty finish for them and simple needlework in fancy stitches is used as it is on cottons. The dress in the illustration is an example in which needlework on pongee reveals how childish and tasteful this kind of decoration is. The model is very plain with a panel set in at the front under plaits at each side. Across the panel at the neck, there is a narrow band of the pongee outlined at its edge with feather stitching or any narrow fancy stitch. A wider band, finished in the same way, takes the place of a belt, crossing the panel at the waistline. There are three-quarter length sleeves wide at the bottom, and turned-back cuffs. The most Interesting detail in the design appears in square pieces of pongee, cut with short tabs at the top, that are set on at the waistline on each side. A button, covered with pongee, and ornamented with stitches, is sewed to each tab. On these pieces the small gathered pockets find posl tion and the effect is that of a short jacket with pockets at the sides. Millinery for Those in Mourning The custom of wearing heavy mourn ng for many months, or even years, at a lime has passed away, and there are many good reasons why it should pass. The main one Is the sense of ob ligation and consideration for other people, who are depressed by the mourning of their friends. Another Is that strength of character Is meas ured by fortitude, among other things, and griefs must be borne without com plaint. Women put on all-black and wear It for several months, or a year, but it is not the deep mourning that used to be worn. Instead of long veils of crape, they wear veils of net, bor dered with crape, for first mourning, and later small net veils without crape. The first mourning hats may be en tirely covered with crape or with the weaves in black silk that are used for mourning. The shapes should be medium in size and not unusual. In the best mourning millinery such dec orations as the hats have are made of the material that is used for covering the shape. Exact lines and exquisite workmanship must characterize the making and the trimming of mourning hats above all others. Black or white crape is the Insignia of mourning, and Is worn for as short a period as one month or as long as a year. The ten dency is toward shortening the time that crape Is worn and using all-black n other fabrics Instead. The small sailor shape pictured. nilli round crown, covered with duu- finish.:!, black silk is a dependable and excellent mourning hat. The band ibout the crown is made of folds of i,k and small, pointed tabs of silk are unied over It. Th, veil is a square if T.russels net with a border of crape all around it. The hat covered with crape is shown without a veil, but a net veil may be worn with It. It has a plain collar of crape about the crown and an odd ornament -made of crape and grosgrain ribbon at the side. There is so much latitude In the mat ter of wearing mourning that It is dif ficult to be definite about mourning styles. They are chosen and modi fied to suit the Individual taste. At all events they must be unobtrusive. YOUR SICK CHILD IS CONSTIPATED! LOOK AT TONGUE HURRY, MOTHER I REMOVE POI SONS FROM LITTLE STOMACH LIVER, BOWELS. 31. I I QIVE "CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS" IF CROSS, BILIOUS OR FEVERISH. Whl New Use for Flues. A gown of corn-colored georgette has the skirt cut in two parts, with the bisections on both sides outlined with ostrich flues about an Inch long in the same color. These also continue around the bottom of the hem. The suggestion was evidently obtained from the millinery feature of the last season or two and which, by the way, gives every promise of being as popu lar as ever, which finishes the edge of a hat with an ostrich band.' The bodice of the dress, simply cut, is finished around the neck and on the edges of the short sleeves with ostrich. Shellacked Gingham for Hats. Quite new Is the shellacked ging ham ; this in a large block pattern, shellacked, Is us?'l to cover a hat crown. It is then tightly veiled in gen !-:; te in one of the colors of the gingham. The facing Is of silk straw In a pastel color and the band about the crown js in the same shade as the facing.

Bide Dudley, writer, lyricist and poet, went up into Westchester county the other day with an actor to buy a horse. "Go out In the barnyard and pick one out," said the farmer. "You may have him for $1.50." The actor paid over the money and selected a horse. He mounted the animal and started away. The horse went 20 steps and fell down and the new owner was unable to make him get up. He went back to the farmer. "Say," he said. "I've been strjnj ' That horse fell down and v won't get up." "Well," replied the farmer, 'T want to be fair with you. Go out in the lot and pick out; another, but don't take the one in the middle or they'll all fall down." New York Telegram. .
