The time has long since pass- ed when fashions for misses were of secondary importance in the scheme of things. The fash.. ioning of -clothes for young people now receives as much, at- tention as those of their elders,` and certain French designers have, of late, been specially.con- centrating their efforts on_ pro`. ducing modes for young girls and small children. rnsmou "runns% THOUGHTS To masses OLOTI-IE8 s.,..,s. . . At_11;'es"ent there is a distinct relation between the styles for g:4own-ups and those reaching the" gr0wn-up stage. The slim silhouette, to which women have taken with so much zeal, is re; flected in misses styles, and certainly there is nothing more befitting the slender grace of youthful Vfigures than the mo:les which now prevail.

Especially be- coming .are those that hang; from a deep, square yoke, and of? these there are,1nan,v varieties! `or below the yoke the mat.er1ali may be side-pleated, .hox-pleat} edtwith groups of large orsmall pleats, or just simply gathered. `To define the waistline, a leath. 1.1. 1.. `IL er belt, a regulation elotlt belt or a long, narrow girdle is mn- sidered correct with thistype of frock. The belt being such an important factor, then, it is not surprising to find many -novel, .ties in this line. One of the lat- lest is a belt which starts out by being wide in front, but finally becomes divided into two narrow strips at the sides and back. '1`he upper halves fasten at the bank and the lower halves are knot- ted loosely and hang down the back. Exceedingly attractive, also, are the pockets which give added charm to these dresses. Pointed, square, draped, gath_ ered` or plain, they appear in every conceivable form.

VVith brig'ht-c0lored skirts are worn slip-on middys of wool or silk jersey in a con- trasting eolor. Hip-length coats of angora and fancy wools are also frequently seen. The ac- oeptedr trimming for winter sports suits is either fur 01- lea- ther. Scotch plaids and checks in bright colors are very much in `evidence. Some of the latest suits are dark green with fine yellow-lines forming the checks. Others are in solid block effects in golden brown and black, and other pretty color combinations.` l The Flag and what It stands - .F0|` ` (Paper read before the Oro _Stal,ion. Women s Institute by Mrs. R. 0. Bell). We call our ag the Union Jack. [How did it ge.t this name? And what does it stand for? _ If we go back in history we find that the Jack was a quilted military coat., covered with lea- ther. worn over a coat of mail, in the time of the Crusades, which was a military expedition undertaken by authority of the Roman Catholic Church for the recovery of the `Holy Land, the scene of our 'Saviour s life and suffering, from the power of in- fidels or Mohommedans. Sev-. era] of these \expeditions were carried on from Europe, under the banner of`the Cross. The soldiershad crosses of different colored` c_-loth sewn upon ..their outer garments. Atthis time a `cross was displayed upon the Jack orvcoat, and when the three crosses. were united. the Jack or coat came to be called the Union Jack; The Union Jack is a com- hination of the banners of St. George, St. Patrick and St. An- drew, and indicates theunion of England. Ireland and Scotland. A vertical red cross upon a_ white ground representsthe banner of St. George (England), `a diagonal white cross upon a Iblueground is the banne-r of St. Andrew (Scotland).`. A diagonal red cross upon a white ground is the banner of St. `Patrick (Ireland) . In making the; Union Jack, the red cross. of St. George is placed upon the white cross of St. Andrew and the re_d cross of St. Patrick, because England is the senior member of the United Kingdom. ` 1..
