II ever mother wished that her boys
s,ere all girls. certainly that time is now,
when little girls frocks are marvels of
laintiness and simplicity. Boys, of
course. do look very smart In their
yailor and Russian blouse suits, but after
all there is little variation In the boys
wardrobe.
One mother voices the sentiments of
many In the remark that ut is down
right pleasure to dress little daughters,
there are, so many styles of dress, and
lslich endless variety of materials Of
which to make them. Boys clothing Is
confined practically to knickerbockers and
Russian or sailor blouses-and there 1t
ends. OF course, wouldn't want whole
family Of girls, but l must confess
would rather dress girls than boys!'

factive little dresses have been seen.

The Charming Poke Hat

Chlldren's hats are always, or, at least,
should be, charming CONNECTIONS of fancy
straws, braids. flowers. ribbon or lingerie
materials. The lingerie hat Is seen ex-
tensively this summer for ali kinds of
wear. Simple embroidered linens, with
lawn or ribbon bows for morning wear
Very charming dressy hats are made In
poke shape of organdy or NULL over
wire frames, with topping Of neapolitan
and trimmed with flowers or ribbon.
That of the picture, Is made of null.
Around the very fat crown are wreathed
forget-me-nots, and at the left side Is
huge rosette Of white louisine ribbon.
