SEMI-PRINCESSE FOR YOUNG Girl

By FRANCES CARROLL.

THE smart little froek pictured today
L is just the thing 10 add to a young
girls wardrobe. rhe simplicity of the
line and the ts;mr' .ne are specific at
fractions. though from my point of vid8
the elimination of II least some Of the
buttons would be a sreat Improvement
However. this is a mere matter Of
personal choice and there are those who
dearly love the establishment Of but
tons that button nothing" The smart
shops nowadays are showing some faddy
things in novelty goods which would
work uU admirably in such pattern as
today's.
For a comfortable and always ready
suit the model would yield itself very
readily 10 lightweight wooden fabrics,
and TO some Of the silk and wool ma
terials which are offered in endless va
riety.
Incidentally. If one has not enjoyed
the satisfaction which comes from hav-
inc light wool gown in ones summer
wardrobe I advise the experiment this
season, not only with the elders Of the
household, but the large and small girls
as well.

Plain Bands Much Used
In Place of Side FriH

In place Of the side frill at waists one
finds plain bands serving a similar pur-
pose. The bands are made Of colored
material for white waists or of white
or cOlOred material embroidered with
" bite OF a color. Cuffs, and sometimes
the collars, OF linen waists are of the
same kind as the plait.
A great many detachable frillS and
plsits are coming into vogue, so that
white waists may be worn with different
CcioTed skirts and harmonic with all Of
them. The plaits or frills button on with
the same buttons that fasten the waist.
These plaits are often set in with
Cluny or Irish lace insertion at one side.
