The, comfortable loose-ftting coat
that entirely covers the gown and pro-

able all-round garment for travelling,
short jaunts or bad weather that any

Child's Dress,

Long waists with short skirts are
much in vogue for little girls, and are
very charming in their effect. The
smart May Manton frock illustrated Is
designed after the newest ideas, and
is peculiarly effective, as it includes a
round yoke that suggests the guimpe,
while the dress is actually all in one.
The original Is made of fine nainsook
in combination with inserted tucking
and needlework frills, and is worn
with sash of blue Liberty ribbon;
but any white lawn or batiste. col
ored washable material or simple
wool or silk fabric is entirely suita-
bic.
The long waist is made over body
