One of these charming little dresses. for
maid of four, was of dull maize, twllleo
silk, with white and maize embroidery ana
a bertha collar of real lace. The coat lot
such a garment. the questioner was told,
should be of satin cloth in the same tint.
and the poke bonnet of the gown silk with
white ostrich feathers and face ruche OF
tule and pink rosebuds.
In all the finer costumes for this age,
and a little older and younger. the most
delicate plain tints or the various shades
of white are employed. The darker color Ts
are reserved for girls above six, whose vel
vet or cloth or satin frocks may likewise
display rich plaids or some large and novel
patterning or other.
A Very Smart Style.
A very smart dress for a girl of eight,
which vet had a simple air, was of deep
blue twilled silk, patterned with ovals IN
white and black. The blouse bodice was
gathered into a round yoke, and the double
puff sleeves ended with the close forearm
portion, which now concludes this upper
fullness for long sleeves. A very dapper
little point with this frock was long tie
of black satin over a novel stock OF white
silk.
Though very smart and also by no means
inexpensive, some jacket frockS In cordu-
roy and velvet among these sometimes as
p,ayed quite a practical look. One cordu-
roy dress in speckled brown with SILKY

yet very stylish also, with It's short-Walsted
empire coat. This coat, which is In sew
eral lengths and others of the Incroyable
sort, have brought revers in again, so few
jackets are seen with the round nnlsh Oh
recent seasons. The stiff 1ncroyable collar,
which turns over inside the revers, may
be of plain silk or of rich embroidery, or
the whole garment may be of untrimmed
cloth, which is the smartest treatment OF
all. 49,

style is preferred here for corduroy, clotn
and rough woods of some description. In
the same way the foreign makers do what
they please with gray. which, like mauVe,

Nickel Velveteen.
As an example Of this one stunning
frock seen for a girl Of ten was or gray
yelyeteen in that somber shade generally
krcwn as nickel A short box coat and
fornced skirt composed the model, the
cheerful note coming in with an unoer-
blouse of plated white India silk. Darker
velvet covered the turnover collar anu
cuffs.
The coat garments for girls at the miss
age are far smarter for fine street wear
than a costume which neeus TO De coVereo
with a separate coat But since the bre-
telle and suspender support arrangements
are no longer thought very smart, sewers
are put to their wits ends for ways to keep
the skirt up. One is to have suspenders OF
wide tape or ribbon, the blouse with an
outside belt finish going over these ana
buttoning on to the skirt belt.
