HERE ARE STYLES FOR CHILDREN.
Imported Gowns for Girls Miniature
Comics of GrOwn-Up Costumes.

Gowns imported from Paris for young
girls are to a great extent miniature
copies of grown-up costumes. There seems
to be no stage between the simple dresses
for small children and the older models
for girls IN their teens According to the
French idea they are either infants or
young ladies and consequently are dressed
as one or the other Bpt IL is different
In this country. where the childs cos
tunes progress suitably with her age and
growth The infants dress soon energies

snd suited to her years and the little girl
is very watchful of the change In style
and very ready to assert her rights. She
not only looks out sharply for her own
privileges. but comments on her mothers
gowns If they are not up to date.
Linens in various colors are very much
used for children's dresses. and the beige
colors seem to be especially popular both
for boys and girls. One little model in
light beige and white linen spotted with
white is made with coat and skirt, the
former plated into a yoke with some
thing OF the same effect as the grown-up
boeros among the Illustrations. wide

odorous vegetable rubbed over the face
and hands will do wonders In removing
tan and whitening the cuticle
Last and by no means least. in the list
of complexion improvers, is the oid-fash-
toned country remedy OF buttermilk. The
buttermilk should at least be twenty-fom
hours old when used and the girl who not
only leaves her face in 1t. but allows II to
remain on the skin over night will reap a
wonderful benefit to repay her for the
temporary inconvenience.

had ever worn before. and she has not
worn iong-sleeved underwaist since.
That Is, with the exception of the girl
who hasn't the hot weather arm and
she sometimes will wear long sleeve
because she thinks II looks better But
she can have her gowns made now in a
style which will give the cool suggestion
of bare flesh and still not make the arm
look painfully thin. The skin-tight sleeve
is not the thing now. and the under
sleeve fashion has brought with IL pulled
sleeves. What joy 10 the slender girl
to have a pretty muslin gown made with
four OF FIVE puffs going around the upper
part OF the sleeve. with a large one at
the elbow. while the lower part Is plain
to the wrist. Puffs are rather satisfac-
tory They will iron well. for one thing.
and then they do not distort a pretty
pattern OF flowers into some kind of bo-
tanical fright. as tucl<ing does. A plain
large sleeve Is no relief with the girl who
has not plump arms a big sleeve always
gives the impression of the arm inside
having wasted anyway: II is altogether
worse for the slender girl than the snug
one.
Hungarian embroideries are Some OF the
pretty things that are attractive for sum
