An ovcrdress all in one piece,
termed the habit redingotc, is fast grow
ing in favor. This Is really polonaisc
made long in the back and gracefully
drapcd.
--Crocheted petticoats for children
arc made Of soft wool. The skirt, waist
and sleeves are all in one. These are
invaluable for children who are much In
the open air.
