Charming Frocks for Lijtle Girls.
Frocks for little girls have not, In
many seasons, been so charming as
now. They reproduce the general
characteristics of the gowns worn by
the children’s elders: but, fortunately,
these features are at present effective
upon the wee women. Empire frocks
with rather long skirts and soft sashes
are delightful upon small girls, and the
inevitable bolero, with its infinite vari
ety In shape and trimming, redeems
even the simplest child's dress from
the commonplace. The broad collars,
floating scarf ties, shirred skirts, flap
ping straw and lace picture hats, all
are adaptable to childhood, and the
gold braid, galloon and buttons bright-
en up little school and morning frocks
that were too serviceable to be pretty.

The girl who aims to profit by the
punching bag makes use of it just after
the morning bath and before assuming

muscles than a loose dressing gown.
She then devotes ten or fifteen minfites
to scientific punching.
The bag should be placed by an ex

with the user's eyes. The striking mo-

should be used as much as possible,
