Attractive Flower
Hats.

Hats trimmed solely with flowers are
attractive for little girls. and some of
the prettlest of those seen in Leghorn,
Milan and chip are precisely on the lines
of those worn by grownup sisters. aunts
and even mother-if she be strictly up
to date-save that there are no bandeaux
and maline choux TO be braced up by
attachable curls and puts which the
small woman would scorn to cumoer her
head with. In addition to the forget-me-
nots. daisies, pansies and rosebuds or
which hat wreaths are usually composed
for the junior followers of fashion there
are apple and cherry blossoms inter-
spersed with briar roses of the most deli
cate pink shade imaginable. Buttercups,
too, are considered correct for Leghorn
hat trimmings, and so are the Brown
from which she will later on fashion
into daisy chains.
sashes and Bows.
Pretty sashes and bow sets are charm
ing accessories to little maids wardrobes.
Their coloring and design. however, have
much to do with the occasions upon
which they are worn, although 1t may be
remarked, In passing, that the correctly
dressed little maiden never wears sash
before luncheon, and that II she IS not
appearing in festive attire, but In an EN-
broidered heavy linen or pique, her sash.
like her hair bow, should be of the Roman
or clan-plaided type. Plain ribbons OF
dark hue are also considered smart with
simple afternoon frocks. Deep red navy
blue and tobacco brown sashes and halr
ribbons are serviceable for everyday use,
while for parties and similar ceremonous
occasions rose pink, blue, Nile green
and corn color ribbon sets are always
in evidence. A little girl whose elders
are wearing mourning Is expected to
eschew gay tints and relieve her party
frock with heliotrope when she tires OF
pure white. Small children do not wear
deep mourning, but for three months their
ribbons may be all-black or black-and-
white stripes or checks.
Extra Wraps.
Like her elders, the modish little
maiden has several wraps In addition
to those intended for walking and play
ing out of doors. One of the most I'M
portant of these is of fine broadcloth,
preferably white, circular shaped, lined
throughout with rose, blue or emerald
satin, to be worn over the lingerie party
frock. The cloak Is rather full, quite
as long as her dress and has deep
hood. also satin lined. which may be
drawn over her curls If the day be chilly.
Navy blue serge REFERS reaching halfway
to the knees and closing with brilliant
buttons take rank with the serge separate
coats worn by women over lingerie
gowns. They are exceedingly convenient
for early morning wear at the seaside
or in the mountains. The embryo wo-
man must also have a suitable motor
coat If she accompany her parents upon
their tours, and for this purpose moth
ing is better than a miniature ulster
of rubberized white satin. For the same
purpose she should have worsted
sweater. with high collar to protect
her throat.

Small girls who fatty decline to wear
frocks that are not absolutely clean and
In perfect repair, or hats that are trimmed
with faded flowers or ribbons, are rather
to be commended for their neatness than
reproved for their vanity, as such EN-
bryo women rarely develop into slovenly
housewives or forget the copy-book pre-
cept that Cleanliness is next to godi-
ness" So numerous are the inexpensive
materials now employed for juvenile gar
ments, and go easily are they put to-
gether-thanks to the perforated paper
patterns-that any mother of moderate
means and a certain amount of leisure
may provide her young daughters ward
robe almost as dainty and varied as that
ordered for the minor heiress of multi
millionaire.
simple School FrOcks.
For lessons and play there is nothing
more practical for small girls than the
frocks of galatea, striped percale or hair
lined linen suiting, which are to be found
in all the popular blues and pinks. varied
with white, gray or tan. These are made
up in the simplest manner possible, usual
~ in one piece, with three wide box plaits.
to the waistline, but harlng below the
belt, and with a one-tone sailor collar and
dickey. Natural and tobacco colored linens
are made up in similar manner, bright
ened with red linen collar and dickey or
relieved by those of white pique, which
lend an air of freshness TO a dark frock
that can be worn for several days.
Chambray Guimpe Dresses.
Girls chambray guimpe dresses in pink,
blue and pale green have skirts of two
distinct types-the one deeply side-plaited
and harlng from waist to hem and the
other slightly gored, with the fulness
shirred into the belt. But in both in
stances the chemlsette and collar are of
white allover embroidery, and there are
narrow revers faced with the frock ma
terial and edged with line of fancy
white braid similar to that finishing the
bottom of the skirt. Some of these cham
bray frocks are exact replicas Of the clan

generation, and each season becomes
more fluffy and fascinating. In shape 1t
varies somewhat from that of twelve
month ago, in that crowns are slightly
higher and brims more faring, and rather
more ueedlework than net and lace Is
employed Some of the new lingerie hats
are entirely of shirred null and not to
be detached from their wire frames. For
that reason they are rather Stunned by
mothers of limited bank accounts or eco
nomical tastes. Nevertheless, trimmed
with broad white ribbon bows and pro-
vided with chin ties they are n fasci-

Captivating Coats.
When the wee woman has been put
her summer coat and has donned her lin
gerie hat she presents an ensemble OF
innocent beauty qualified to soften the
heart of any world-soured man or wom-
an whom she may encounter during her
promenade. This summer coat may be
of soutache braided pique, of heavy linen
or duck strictly tailored, or of white lit
dia silk, but 1t is at Its best in dainty
Swiss embroidery In bold design in
Mother Hubbard style, with wide-cuffcd
bishop sleeves. These almost transparent
not so strictly ornamental as they SEEM
for they may readily be tackled over
dainty silk Innings, which make them
quite practical for wear in the cooler
days of early summer and autumn. While
the embroidered material should be of
the finest quality, such coats launder
so perfectly and look SO dainty as long
as they hold together at all that they
are not an evidence of undue extrava-
gance on the part of fond mamma.
Utility Hats.
Quite useless Is 1t to deny that the
happy, healthy little lady is exceedingly
hard on her headgear, for she loves to
play out of doors, preferably with the
boys. and then hat is always In the
way. The most practical of play hats
are those Of rough straw. rather fiat In

ribbon. These would best be of brown
straw, which is almost sunproof, where
as the more attractive looking blues and
