The Latest Edition Of the EngIish Prin-
cessc Dress.
The English dress all in one piece
and opening in front remains in favor
for girls from five to eleven years OF
age, though well-grown girls wear
dresses with the skirt and basque sep
arate when only eight or ten years old.
Many of these English dresses are only
princessc dresses in name, as the skirt
is cut of entirely and sewed to silesia
waist; the basque Is then separate, with
a lining Of its own. The newest Of
these dresses have the skirt gathered
all around, and for neat finish a hem
about four inches wide Is turned up on
the outside, and stitched there by ma
chine. The waist part is now cut
much shorter behind than in front, and
with very dressy suits the middle forms
Of the back are folded under in loops,
and sash bow with ends is sewcd I'M
derncath. A vest that extends only TO
the waist line is gathered or plated in
. narrow space and placed under the
pointed fronts; this vest is usually Of
soft silk like that Of the sash for wool
dresses, and there Is band Of velvet
like belt crossing it at the waist line;
the high standing collar Is also Of vel
vet, and there is fold Of velvet that
serves as cuffs. A stylish way Of using
the large metal buttons is to place 4
group Of three of these each side OF the
vest, either just below the collar. or
else low on the points Of the front.
Square pockets Of velvet are again used
on the sides and two buttons are on
each Of these. Shades Of brown. either
golden or seal brown. are exceedingly
for these English dresses and
for those Of all large girls, and at pres
ent the trimming is usually Of the same
color. Ruby, cardinal, navy blue and |
all shades Of green are also worn, but
the preference Is for the more sober
brown shades. Imported dresses q
the English patterns are shown IN
reppcd silks, plush and vclvcts, with
Of wool laces. Irish point
md embroidery. but dealers say they
ire only useful 60 them as models for
palmer wool dresses, Us women Of good
Iaste object to these rich and elaborate
iresses for small girls. ~ Harper sBaxdr.
