Girls Dress Of the New Linen Crash.
embroideries may be had at these places.
which. when applied between hand-run
tucks, produce rich air.
Other good things in these shops are knob
hat pins of green china, initiating the col
orings OF jade, lapislazuh and other fash
ionable stones.
Green is the thing for Jewelry, whether
one sees the moonlight blending Of opal
and jade.
Washtub Clothes.
Daimler and simpler than ever are the
smart garments for small fry, for all the
best things are made with an eye to the
wash-tub Linens of white and color-the
mesh Of the weave as coarse as crash-are
used for frocks for all ages beyond the
baby. whose little furnishings must express
fairy fneness and be as spotless as snow.
These linen dresses, than which nothing
could be more durable. are trimmed largely
with colored embroideries in Greek and
Roman borders.
A dashing model for girl of ten is of
yellow and white linen, with bands Of black
Russian embroidery. A single band Dor
ders the short full skirt. The bodice Is in
blouse shape. with the square-cut neck
burg in a small pattern The embroidery
outlines this, running down each side of
the front opening. single band shapes
the belt, and two rows ornament the puffed
sleeves, which are made with shoulder
caps.
A decided reef has been taken in the long
bodies so long. worn by children, whose
belts frequently appeared to have slipped
their mornings. The girdle line Is now kept
at normal point. merely falling below the
waist at the front, and the dressier frocks
show rosettes or crash ends at the back.
Models with the skirt and blouse-Waist
box-pleated directly at the back and front,
and the pleats overlaid with heavy lace, are
seen among the French importations. The
most swagger Of these are in white linen
crash, with narrow tapes tying under the
pleats to keep them in shape. When the
suit Is to be Numbered these are united, as
the ironing would leave the print Of tho
knots.
Always in Favor.
The REFER model. whose babyish sug-
gestion could certainly not be improved on,
IS still the favorite for coats for the small
est girls.
Late designs reveal many novel styles in
sleeves and improvements on the sailor COL
lar. which. when seen at all. is shallow
and broad, covering the tops of the sleeves
entirely. Other collars on these little reef
ers which are made Of the usual materials,
turn over with round cape effect, tab
at the shoulders often holding them down
to a. button on the sleeves. This device is
admirable for windy weather, for few chill
dren enjoy play with the f1utter Of flying
ends about their ears.
"A TeeIer on TINS OrQer IS OF white blanket
flannel with scarlet stitchings and buttons.
The wearer's modest frock, under which
appeared red wool leggings, was of red and
white mottled woods. with biases of check
In the same colors. A sailor hat of red

and white naittens completed her toilet
Another girl who takes a daily walk with
her mother wears a princess cloak Of blue
and white novelty coating. This, fastening
apron fashion down the back, sports q

and braid
Aprons are no longer despised by fashion
able mothers. But lest the palpably pro-
tective garment prove a thorn In the flesh,
the new designs are fine affairs
Made of sheer lawns with ribbon shoulder
knots and waist bows, the temporarily de-
posed garment now sits at the top of the
ladder for school wear. Flounces of fine
embroidery trim the cut-out neck and arm
holes, and. OF course, 1t goes without saying
that the apron must be lavish.

and one eminently in favor, as the youneer
generation has long rebelled against the

For the Wee Babies.
And last. just peep at the things for
babies.
For ono thing, whether girls or bows.
they are now permitted to wear oyeralls
made exactly like those OF the day laborer
and OF the same blue jeans. These. provid-

him on the floor in skirts.
