New YORK.
IN these days Of specialized endeavor IN

there should be milIlners especially for
the little folks.
Along Fifth avenue Madison avenue,
and the side streets that run between
there are several OF those smart shops
that cater exclusively to the denizens OF
the nursery and the schoolroom. Some
Of them make frocks and wraps, as well
as hats and bonnets for their Juvenile
customers. but even in such cases the
millinery department Is IN the hands Of
one special designer. The result Is that
the children whose parents can afford to
patronlze those exclusive. and equally ex-
Densive places. are apt to be gowned

Some Of the imported handmade lin
gerie gowns and blouses display a yoke
and collar built up in one-that is, with
out seam or Joining between the two
pieces. There Is sure to be trouble
onent the adjustment Of these to the
American wearer. for It is a noted fact
that the French woman Is as proud Of
her slender throat as she ls Of her sIen-
der ankles. One way suggests itself. ana
that is the ripping out of the hem at the
back, placing a little silk facing there,
through which the little rods Of feather
bone that are to hold the sheer material
IN place can be run. The fraction Of an
inch in the width OF the collar makes all
the difference in the world between the
comfort and discomfort of the wearer.
