such a course would be utterly fruitless.

Mrs. W. c. Dunn died yesterday morning

due TO an explosion of Il gasoline can placed

Much-Trimmed skirts, Guimps and
Perishable Materials Are the
Mode for Small Girls.

MOOG 1Of Sm0l1 OlfIos
The fashion, or rather fad. of trimming
a skirt deliberately has extended to chill
dren's frocks. That happy time is past
when q busy mother could tear of, three
widths. run u hem and possibly u few tucks
around a summer skirt and call 1t finished
for her 6-year-Old daughter TO wear.
Nearly every skirt is sored. be it cotton
or wooden. into deep circular LOUNGES just
such as .'Erownups". wear. Where the
skirt and tlounce join. Il piece OF fancy
braid or lace is employed.
Almost every little frock shown is in
tended to be worn with Il guimpe-chal-
lies. silks. cashmere and even ~Organdies.
Some of the ginghams are the exception.
as these are usually intended for rOugher
Of finest tucked lawn with lace insertion.
A very F'renchy little frock was of pale
blue organdie. covered with sprays of trail
ing arbutus. The full blouse was almost
covered by the full berthe. which was
edged with three rows of the bebe ribbon,
the same shade as the organdie.
The skirt WAS composed of two full ruff
lies. equal depth. showing the rows Of bcbe
ribbon. The guimpe worn with this was
Of sheerest lawn. tucked and showing val
insertion.
A dress Of nickel chall.ie was trimmed
with bands OF finely embroidered null.
Wide revers Of the cha!l.e were embrOid-
cred with sprays Of flowers in white silk.
turned back on q shoulder showing 4 vest
OF challie crossed with bands oil null.
The little skirt WAS cut with cores, ard
TIM. front gore continued around TIL. skirt
i'll u circular rur'ie. headed by IA band Of
the embroidery.
Another 1rock with m elaborate skirt
trimming was of white Org:.ndi.. with
lunches Of pale yellow PRIMROSE. This
skirt was scant to 4 liItl, sbor.. the knees.
ending in large diamond shapes outlined
with inch-wide lace. and then having IA
full ruifie of Organdi. below.
Many Of the organizes. particularly the

such tiny g:il,es it does seem To be ia
better taste. though. many chevio,s, CASH
mer.s and heavy WOODEN frDcks sent our
by the children's outfitiers on Fifth avenue
are lined throughout with silk, even for
tots under 10.
The short trousers are seen entirely on
the new suits for boys: whether the craze
for golf or the tendency of basgins at lie
knees have chased away the long-trouser-u
MILDLY suits is q question.
