Scene from its rooftop are other parts of current $20 million project. Rhyme and Reason By LOUISE METEER Let no small girl today declare She has no single thing to wear. Her frocks are bright with reds and blues, That she may look upon and choose. But tell me this, oh, tell me, pray, Why must she look like Grandma's day? The powers that be, they who design and manufacture children's clothes, have a sudden interest in what they fondly call "the quaint look". Quaint it may be. It is also ugly. Shades of my childhood! I saw a whole store window full of little dresses that were replicas of those I wore. They were plaid, and how I remember plaid. There was a certain plaid dress when I was nine. It was red and brown with a line of green, and I hated it with a passion. Being of good strong gingham it never wore out, and even the plate of beans I spilled on it at the Sunday School party did no lasting damage. I can see it yet, hanging on a hanger in the closet, waiting for me to recover from influenza. How much the prospect of wearing it deterred me no can say. At nine I longed for pale blue with sprigs of pink roses, red candy stripe with tiny black velvet bows, and organdy yokes with white embroidery and baby blue ribbon showing through. I have not outgrown it though I try not to say anything when my grandchildren sometimes appear stockings whose only improvement over those I wore lies in the fact that they continue into panties so that no garters are required. Remember the garter waists of yesterday, the black sateen bloomers and the gaping expanse between the place where the stockings ended and the bloomers began? Remember too, the long underwear put on without fail just after Hallowe'en. How it stretched as the months went by, so that only by the most intricate of wrapping could it be made to fit at the ankle under the hightopped shoes. Of course, there were compensations. I count as greatest among them the black patent leather shoes with buttoned straps above the ankle, the whole topped by a beautiful pink or red tassel. I remember, too, a certain cousin one year my junior who was lucky enough to have eczema. This meant that she had to wear pure white next to her skin: and undershirt. Oh, lucky girl. Try as I might I could never "catch" her eczema, and was relegated for years to the hateful white panties, white stockings, black sateen and miserable black cotton stockings. Little wonder that I cringe on seeing little girls today playing blissfully in black leotards. There are some things that leave a mark on you. HONOR MERRIFIELD A. W.
