coats have stole fronts. without this at
tachment they are a very pretty style for
small boys ? or ; years old.
Something pretty in the shape of
gown of pale blue linen has plain skirt
tucked in vertical lines a few inches
down from the waist line. and baby
waist with suinpe and vest of tucked
white lawn stitched with blue. The fronts
-fasten across the narrow vest with little
straps OF black velvet ribbon, caught
down with-a small gold button The lit
tie bertha collar around the shoulders is
also OF tucked lawn with two rows of
black velvet ribbon on the edge. Colored
linens trimmed with narrow stitched
bands Of white lawn or white braid are
very effective, and then there Is the en-
broidered beading through which black
velvet ribbon Is run. A more elaborate
insertion with the velvet run through the
center makes a very pretty trimming.
forming the belt bands around the pulled
sleeves and guimpe neck. Plain pink and
blue lawns are charming trimmed with
black velvet ribbon I'm bands and rosettes
and the pretty sheer embroidered inser-
lions may be used in addition.
One mode of using the velvet is shown
in the illustration on a very pretty model
for party dress in point d'esprft. null
organdie or China silk. The point des-
above years when a party dress Is in
question. And narrow white satin ribbon,
sewn on In rows and made into rosettes
is a simple but effective trimming. These
little gowns are usually made with a

and narrow plaitings finish the skirt.
In linen and pique there is pretty little
model for a dress which resembles the
long outside coats in form. fastening dag

wide sailor collar to the hem and worn
with belt which gives 1t the appearance
of being cut all In one. Box plaits In the
hack give fullnees to the skirt. but the
front hangs quite plain. The wide sailor
collar turns back over a little chemisette
with a standing collar, and elbow sleeves
with q gauntlet cuff complete this attrac-
tive gown. Pique gowns are also made
with plain gathered skirts. and simple
bodice with belt OF broad embroidery

ribbon which also trims the round collar
falling over the shoulders.
A dainty little gown of pink lawn Is
made by tucking breadth lengthwise
from the little lace yoke to the hem OF
the skirt. This forms sort OF panel four
or FIVE inches wide and is joined to the
main dress with row of lace insertion,
OF which two rows trim the hem. The
front hangs loose while the back is con-
fined with a belt, and the sleeves are
short puffs with lace insertion band
As for children's hats there Is great
variety. Hats made of sheer white lawn
shirred and plated into frills: sun bon

and friiled. and others of pique double,
and divided by sticking into sections
which are stifrened with belts of card
board, all add variety to this department

mob hats with wide brim of straw and
a shirred crown of taffeta silk are one OF
the most desirable styles for general wear.

black velvet ribbon. while for the sea-
shore there are white stitched hats with
brims faced with green.
