Fnnhions In Gloves,

There never was a year when cor
rectly gOwned woman needed so many
pairs Of gloves as she will during the
warm months of 1905. Dame Fashion
has sent forth a positive decree that
gloves must match the frock, and this
is as true of elbow and shoulder kids
as it is of ordinary walking gloves. As
a consequence, mannish looking gloves
have given place TO soft kids Of every
imaginable shade with markings on
the back in self toned silk or in the
same shade Of leather applique with
fine stitching Washington Star.

PATTERNS FROM THE LATEST
NEW YORK FASHIONS
Pattern For Girls Frock With Closing on Shoulder
by Martha Dean-No. 4616

The question OF school frocks for the
little maiden is no small one and mothers
everywhere are trying to find something
new and different from those they have
been making ever since the little daughter
had her first school lesson. One reckons
the schoolgirls gowns by the dozen and
not by the pair. Cleanliness may be next
10 salvation. and a child must then be
saved by salvation alone, for IL is far
easier to keep her 10 the rule OF three
than to keep her gowns spotless. free from
ink spots. frayed and rubbed spots and
burst buttonholes. 1t is probably the girls
of from eight to fourteen years that are
hardest to reckon with. They must have
styles that are especially adapted to
themselves, for they are neither children
nor yet can they be classed as OF the
misses age. For such girls are we show
ing the design today. 1t is a most grace
full arrangement, with its very wide box
plait at center OF front and at the back,
and smart. jaunty air is given the whole
makeup by the Introduction OF box plait
in the underarm seam which insures
plenty OF flare to the skirt II also forms
a strap at the upper edge. through which
the belt may be passed. These are not all
of the good features, however, for its
unique closing on the shoulder must not
be overlooked. The closing is effected by
buttons and buttonholes. or, II a braid
finish is desired, II could be fastened with
hooks and loops. II is slipped on over the
head and is entirely separate from the
Eu!mpe, which may be of the same ma
terial or of wash material OF contrasting
color. For smart little gown whose
counterpart one does not see on every
other child one meets this is the best and
newest of the season and, being a one
piece dress, is as simple and easily made
as Mother Hubbard. Sizes 4 to u years.

their services; but this is not enough.
