how best to select the necessary
refittings, especially when
are at a .istance from the home
season.
TAILORED LINES.
Clothes built on smart but plain
tailored lines are best, being not only
more practical and lasting for gen-
eral school wear, but also more fash-
ionable than fancier models. Ma-
terials should be selected to stand
continuous hard wear satisfactorily,
and with sufficient body to take the
tailored finish. Cotton materials now
come in so many forms desirable for
year-round wear, that fastidious wom-
en who require that their children’s
attire shall be sanitary, as well as
good looking, are giving this class
of goods preference for general school
wear. A
Cottons of the best grade come
out fresh and attractive after any
number of visits to the laundry, and
a long coat of warm woolen com-
pietely covering the dress, makes
this arrangement practical for even
the coldest weather.
A WELL SELECTED OUTFIT.
A small, well selected wardrobe
proves most satisfactory for school
use, especially where children are
growing rapidly. This plan gets all
possible wear out of each garment
bzfore alterations are necessary, a
siving of time and trouble that busy
mothers appreciate, while the new

In stripes, solid colors, check,
and figures in matching tones, it
makes the smartest combinations,
and the name on the edge guaran-
tees its quality and protects the
buyer from inferior goods.
PARTY FROCKS.
Two or three pretty frocks for
secial occasions are desirable in any
girl’s outfit, and as these get less
wear than the everyday clothes,
they last longer and therefore must
be altered to keep pace with the
childs g.owth. It is an easy matter
to change a fussy frock, for trim-
mings and accessories in the way
of bodices, sashes, or the new ves-
ties and cape jackets all lend their
aid in concealing the fact that they
are used to cover joinings.
Many of the silk and cotton mixt-
ures ani flower printed voiles that
cost little except for the making,
are most suitable and becoming for
girls’ wear at the informal dances
and small gaieties that they occasion-
ally enjoy.
People who do not have to con-
sider «xpense in the selection of their
children’s clothe, prefer dainty little
dresses of this sort, which is a help
t> other people who must count the
cost. Flowered muslins appeal to
cleyer managers.
FOOTWEAR.

high buttoned styles, or in pumps
These are as easily whitened as can-
yvass, and are smart enough to go
with a girl’s party dress. Hose to
match is always good taste, though
lately colored hose is much used
with these and with black Colonial
pumps. VERONA CLARK.
ITCHING IRRITATION.
WORST FOIM OF SKIN TROUBLE QUICK-
LY RELI{LVED BY INEXPENSIVE
‘ TREATMENT.
‘When you suffer with any skin trou-
ble, even though the itching seems
unbeardbl:, do not think that it is
necessary to use some disgusting,
greasy oiuument. Try Hokara, a pure
and simple cream, that is guaranteed
to contain no grease or acids and
which is so cleanly that it does not
soil the linen.
Its power. to instantly relieye any
irritation of the skin and make it
soft, white and beautiful is almost
miraculous.
Not only do niinor skin trouble like
pimples, blackheads, acne, barbet’s
itch, etec., quickly disappear,
but the worst ulcers of cases of
sed and healed by this wonderful
skin food.
