White Still Leads for Children Sheer Ba-
tistes With Valenciennes Trimmings
The Plain Velvet Frock- Shoulder
and Sleeve Knots Best Bonnets.

Winter days bring their round of fes-
tiyities TO the little folks. even as to
their elders. There is the weekly dane
ing class, as much a part of the youth
fuF curriculum to-day as vaccination or
the semi-annual trip TO the dentists
Then there are Thanksgiving and Christ
mas parties aud for the small New
Yorker, childrens day at the Horse
Show, and occasional matinees. all Of
which call for special dressing.
White remains the color par excellence
for the small girls dressy frocks, and
indeed, many mothers choose nothing
but white for the daughters wardrobe
untf she reaches the age of twelve.
These, however. are Of the class to
whom laundry and cleaners bills have
no terror. More modest incomes leave
white TO thi best frocks, and select
sensible browns and blues for everyday
service
Fine and sheer the Rule.
The party frock should be sheer and
dainty. 1t may be simple or elaborate
for it is here alone that elaborateness is
eountenanced In children's frocks--but IT

Of course imported, aud to be had In
thoEe exclusive little French shops that
cater only to the needs Of the small mill
lionairess. Simpler but none the less
beautiful are the frocks of finest batiste,
inset with fine valenciennes. This latter
is the type Of the general run of party
frocks.
Short wasted effects are popular with
the small folks as well as with their
elders, Very often the waist Is defined
only IN the back and sides, the front ex-
tending from neck TO hem in soft straight
folds. Straight bands Of the material
edged with lace trim the skirts, these
bands being little newer than the lace
edged rufies. although the latter is still
used. Sometimes the skirt has two or
three broad tucks and an equally deep
hem, these frilled with lace. Lace edged
rufies often form the sleeves. and there
may be a yoke Of lace and batlste strips
or puh1ngs.
Ribbons in Profusion.
