SIMPLICITY THE RULE.
A Delightful Lack of Fussiness ON
Everything.

proximates the Charlotte Corday OF their
elders a season or two ago. The straw

generously rufiied on the inside with row

of satin ribbon are posed to appear ar

Ribbon-trimmed simplicity.
Mothers OF small girls may well be-
thankful that the extreme of fashion this
season demands that all Juvenile gar
ments shall exhibit a marked degree Of
simplicity. Plain lines. unbroken by,
frilis or rufI1es, puts or pleatings, are
what the best makers are turning out
for their little customers. The mother
who prefers to make those little gar
ments herself has never before been able
to accomplish such smart effect with
so little effort as when following the very
latest styles. But, although the designs
are simple almost to plafnness. the ma
terials are usually of the opposite char
acter. Hand embroideries rule, and this
has brought into the iimeiight once more
the oid-fashioned convent work, the
English eyelet and the French raised and
blind embroideries. OF course, one can
obtain ma chine-made limitations OF these.

A very effective machine worked fiounc-

that smart simplicity dictated for the
younger folks this year, a fashion In
which the laundress as well a. the
mother can find comfort.
New Appearance Of the Tricorne.
In the sort to create something new In
headwear1or the Juveniles, the designer
has been compelled to borrow inspiration
from some Of the shapes patronized by
the grownups. Quite sensible shape il
that illustrated, which makes use of the
familiar tricorne, but after somewhat
novel adaptation. The material Is one of
those new pyroxoiin mixtures with
strands OF chiffon interviewer to give 1t q
fluffy effect, the tone being kept In white
throughout The crown lis large. and Ats
comfortably to the head without the in-
teryention Of a bandeau. welcome fea-
ture where the youngsters head is con-
cerned, since the fluffy ribbon hair bows
take the place of and do duty for all
underbrim trimmings. The large brim il
well wired, and thick shirrings OF printed
pompadour malinette, q rose design upon
white background, entirely cover the
outer side, the inner side displaying the
braid and chiffon braid. A thick cravat
of satin ribbon eucircIes the crown, tying
In large bow at the left side, the loops
and ends being brought over the edge to
give finished appearance. Across the
nat back there Is another well-wirpd ro-
settle OF ribbon loops, the ends falling for
smart finish at this point. The chapeau
ts one that will answer pretty well for all
the juveniles appearances, being plain
enough for school purposes and still
elaborate enouah =. 90 with her smarter
