A Popular Fabric.

Pique has always boon a popular
fabric for children's wear, and now
that it is made so much softer than it
was it is one of the best possible ma
terials for the sailor suits, kilt skirts
and also for golf skirts for girls who
consider themselves too old to wear
sailor suit. The new colored piques
show many dim colors and designs
and are almost without exception at
tractive. There is a red and white
plaid which is especially noticeable,
and a favorite model for child's frock
has a circular skirt and blouse waist,
with collar of embroidery. The circu-
lar skirt In plaid and checked pattern
is always a good one, for the design
apparently shows off much more eff
fectiyely.
