What the Little Folks are Wearing
this Summer.

Batlste OF all descriptions is the
material most In vogue for young
girls dresses and cbildren's frocks,
OF 'dressy order. Taffetas are also used
usually Of a fancy type showing small
checks or equally small broche ef-
fecfs on plain or changeabIe
ground, and IN medium tints. For
ordinary wear there are pique, linen
and neutral fabrics fashioned into
froclls OF simplicity and trim style
The dressy gowns for young girls are
simple too, but not without some de-
gree OF elegance. Many or the skirts
have one or two fiounoes about the
lower edge and these are often sci
on with deep bands OF embroidery or
lace. Tucks and rufiies are much
used while the knife pIaitIngs OF
bafiste are a much favored garniture
for frocks OF dressy order.
A great simplicity pervades the
linen, pique aud light WOODEN suits
for girls. These usually have plain
skirt trimmed only with bias folds OF
the material The jacket Is d short
narrow seml-fitted one with basques
never exceeding four inches In length.
Girls from twelve 10 sixteen do not
wear the corselet skirt nor are they
suitable for any but fully developed
figures. The Partisan girl attains the
age OF sixteen before she Is considered
sufficiently developed to wear such a
style.
FOR THE TOTS.
For younger children from five 70
twelve. the same materials are used
with the exception OF taffetas- For
these, the skirt is usually completed
by o blouse while fucks and very
narrow frilling are the fayorite trim
ming. The best frock may be OF eye
