In knockabout hats there is SO far
nothing very different from those seen
last spring and summer. The basin
shapes and funny little replicas OF
models worn by grownups are the ad-
vance ideas one sees in the shops. It
is. however. early in the season to pre-
dict about the hats our manufacturers
win turn out for our approval later on
Paris sends over the expensive crea-
tons with success written all over
them. and there is no escape from
their fascination: but as I said. the
shapes for everyday ehapeaux are still
problematical.
In frocks the long WASTED French
style with fun short skirt is to be a
favorite for girls from three 10 six
years OF age And in ginghams and
linens the older girls will wear the
Russian blouse gowns defined at the
waist with patent leather belts For
everyday dresses worn by the small
girl it is a good idea to cut the sleeves
in one piece with the dress by pro-
longing the shoulder seam to the de-
sired length Of the sleeve Gust above
the elbow and shaping it TO form a
kimono effect. The shoulder seam and
the entire back OF the dress are left
open and finished with buttons and
huttonholes. which may be made TO
button invisibly or to lend their aid in
trimming the garment.
Such a frock does up beautifully and
is a source of perpetual Joy to the
laundress. CATHERINE TALBOT.

A GIFT FOR THE BABY.

A useful gift that every mother will
be sure to appreciate is TO make for
the baby one Of the dainty shawl wraps
and hoods that are now so much worn.
These little wraps are in one piece.
the hood arranged by running a casing
across one point of a square to form a
hood and turning the edge in to form
a frilL The point OF square falls down
the back, and ribbons are fastened to
each side of hood to hold the shawl on.
While it would be comparatively easy
TO cut such a wrap without a pattern,
1t is much simpler to pay 10 or Is cents
for good paper pattern, as this gives
directions for both the long and short
shawl wraps.
The materials used are fine French
flannel, supple cashmere or any other
soft wool goods that will wash or clean
easily. For the summer baby the wraps
are left unlined. as they are cooler. A
soft. firm china silk makes the best
lining. A yard and a quarter of yard
wide material viii be needed for the
long wrap.
The edges can either be faced back
and brierstitched or they can be bound
with three inch wash ribbon. The
woman who likes to embroider can
work a small buttonholed scailop on
the edge and finish it with five rows of
graduated dots. A twisted silk Is pre-
ferred to mercerized cottons for en-
Droidering on wooden fabrics.
