FINE FROCKING FOR JUVENILES

- ROCKS for children from Paris
are appearing in the most aston
ishing varieties and In such
elaborate models as make one
gasp and rather wonder as to whether
after all they are not grown-up frocks
seen under a diminishing glass. The
skirts OF the little girls frocks are
very, very short and flare very much
at the bottom, although boasting an
exceedingly jaunty ft at the top of the
skirt, around the hips. In spite of the
craze for empire fashions many OF the
most stylish little frocks are made
long wasted and finished with tiny
belts and sashes.
One very surprising little frock seen
at fashionable birthday tea for chill
dren was of embroidered white ladies'
cloth. the very short skirt made in two
ounces. each edged with a trimming
of black velvet. over which was an en-
broidery of white silk The bodice was
long-waisted and trimmed with black
velvet ribbon, cut low In the neck. with
a band of the embroidered velvet
around the guimpe and finishing the
elbow sleeves. The belt was of black
velvet finished with a bow and long
ends in the back. To complete this
chic costume there was a bolero of
ermine, over which was black velvet
The collar was edged with white
silk braid. The short sleeves were also
finished with the braid over black vel
vet.
The child wore with this costume an
ermine bonnet, close fitting and high
in the crown. 1t was trimmed on
either side with large white rose.
White stockings and black patent
leather pumps and white elbow gloves
were worn.
Another little girl wore a white
es-s-e-s-s.s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-
with narrow pipings or folds of tsffeta.
Either the chemisette of lace or lin
aerie, with cuffs to match, finishes the
waist or 1t is worn with one OF the
new jabots or ties that are SO popular
this season. Crepe de chine and chiffon
cloth are excellent wearing materials,
and for the many times when dark
waist is required with a plain costume
there is nothing so satisfactory. and 1t
is possible to obtain quite variety
or design in the trimming of tafreta.
Velvet ribbon can be used for the trim
ming also, but is by no means so prac-
tical as the silk

IN ARISIAN milliners are again
j making an effort to contrive the
ater headdresses which shall be
part hat and part coiffure orna-
ment, and which it will be possible to
keep on in the main body of the house
without interfering with the view of
the stage to those behind the wearers.
1t would really be boon TO womankind.
IL some such headdress could be con-
triyed. What is needed is something
which could be worn IN the street. not
only in a carriage but I'm the street
cars, because the women who always
go in carriages are also apt to occupy
boxes. where picture hats are in order
The theatrical headdress is especially
needed for women who sit in the body
of the house.
The difficulties attached to this sort
of headdress are OF two kinds. In the
first place IL is dificult to contrive one
which will give any protection to the
head, and in the second place It is even
more dificult to build such a headdress
which will not In reality block the
view of the stage.
The very high and full coiffures
which are now worn do this sufficiently

then the jacket with lining 70 match

Shirt waists. so called because they
arc made loose, are not becoming to
every figure. in fact are most unbecom-
ing 10 stout figures. These fitted waists
are consequently better in many in
stances. and while the lining fits close
the material itself can be draped softly
and loosely in accordance with what
is most becoming to the lines OF the
figure. Lace ruffies. medaliions and
entre-doux of lace are favorite trim
mings, or there are ruchings or plait-
ings of silk or satin put on in an in
Vulnerable variety of designs and fig
ures. All kinds of lace are fashionable
for the trimming. Valenciennes Irish
crochet, ,malines, etc, and often two or
three kinds of lace are seen on the
one waist Narrow satin and velvet
ribbon Is also used, and is charmingly
effective, put on In a hundred and one
different patterns.
The more elaborate spring costumes
also include elaborate waists, and these
are made up In material to match the

does not seem to be any reason for
calling these new models separate
waists when they are trimmed with IL

most fascinating models that can be
worn either with coat and skirt cos
tunes or with skirt to match. Made in
yelling. for instance. the model is most
suitable, while in soft silk or satin It IL

coat with a tailored skirt.
Judging from present Indications the
fashions this spring are more or less
on the elaborate order, with the excep-
tion Of. the severely plain tailor cos

smart shirt waist. There are rufies.
pieatings. nounces and folds OF satin or
velvet. while again lace and embroid-
cry play an all important part in most
Of the gowns. Fortunately the lines of
most of the styles are good, long and
unbroken, so that the trimming, fol-
lowing these lines, does not seem so
sppallingly overdone and exaggerated.
Materials also are elaborate in design
and pattern, but when figured ma
terials are used there is not the same
chance for trimming.

majority reach well below the elbow

narrow ruchings of silk or lace, or with

There is no end OF different designs
and materials among the unlined
waists fn lingerie, linen. plain and en-
broidered, as well as silk, satin, crepe

tention is being paid to the lined and
boned waists OF silk, satin, crepe de

these waists are. often on exactly the
same lines as though intended TO be
worn with skirts TO match, and yet
there is an indescribable something or
other about them that marks them as
separate waists and not part OF gown,
but it must be confessed to the unini-
tiated that there does not appear to be
any marked difference, and the econom-
fcaIly minded woman finds reason TO
believe that the waists can be worn
either with skirt to match or in con-
trast.
Thester bodices is the name some
times Giyen TO these more elaborate
separate waists, and certainly the
fashion is q most practical one, for the
palmer style of tailor gowns to be
worn in the spring season is infinitely
more xervfceable when there are two
or three waists to wear with the gown.

and both sewers and elaborate
styles are displayed, each being
stated positively and on the best au-
thority to be the only one possible But
the day has passed when any one fash
ion can be thus asserted, for every
woman who knows anything about
clothes knows that there is always a
variety OF choice. and that while for a
short time the majority OF women
may follow blindly some order of Dame
Fashion, In the twinkling OF an eye
the order may be reversed and an abb
solutely opposite fashion be insisted
upon.
Waists are all important TO the fem
mine peace OF mind, and the question
Of whether separate waists are fash
ionabie is continually discussed-inci-
dentally it is never positively settled.
Eight or ten years since the edict went
forth that the separate waist was no
longer smart; that skirts and waists
must correspond, If not in texture at
all events in color and general style.
ana from that time to this separate
waists have reigned supreme in favor
until this winter. This direct disobe-
dience of . law of fashion is most
unusual, but there are other instances
OF It. and, as usual, the compromise IS
effected by having both waists to match
the skirts and separate ones as well.
In an elaborate costume, cloth, silk,
velvet, or. in truth, any material, the
waist to match is far and away more
effective and becoming, but to wear
with coat and skirt costume the sepa-
rate waist is apparently the favorite.
AT this time of year the advance
models for the street gowns are 90 be

season, 1T is possible to have street
gowns made at q marked reduction in
price from those prevailing when the
season r. at its height, separate waists

or later, and this is a capital oppor-
tunity to select the most becoming
styles and have them made.
