Variations in children's gowns bios.
som out from time to time, even though
they are very slight, and small girls
rival their mothers in their ambition
to keep up to date.
Soft wool materials make up very
prettily In this way. In figured French
flannel the collar may be made OF the
same and trimmed with rows OF narrow
braid or velvet ribbon. Skirts of the
small gowns are usually plain, but the
older girls have some sort of trimming,
either tucks, stitched bands, rufiies or
velvet folds, stitched on.
The long-waisted mode, in which the
waist line rounds down low in front,
Is conspicuously evident among the
gowns for girls over 10 years Of age,
and the small gowns for dainty little
girls Of 6 initiate this fashion as much
as possible by having the long waist
all around. Guimpe dresses, which
never seem to so out Of style, are suit
able for all ages, from to the more
mature years Of middle age.
Bolero jackets are very popular in
the kingdom OF small costumes, and the
attempt to produce the effect of stole
ends is seen in one little gown. where
narrow lace revers are carried down the
entire length Of the front, as shown In
the illustration. Another pretty effect
is made by two box plaits in front, one
at either side from the yoke to the
hem, and two in the back, giving q
long effect to the waist, which is de-
fined with a narrow velvet belt ending
in small velvet rosettes at either side
OF the front on the p!aits. The skirt
gathers on to the waist between the
plaits, which apparently are contin-
uation of those in the waist A sailor
collar Of lace covers the shoulders In
the back and opens III front over q
yoke Of tucked white silk or batiste.
Thin gowns OF pc. mt d'esprit 70. party
wear are variously trimmed with
ruches ruffles, lace insertion and rows
OF colored satin ribbon. A pretty feat
ure of the small girls costume is the
coat and hat to match.-New York
