CHANGING STYLES.
Pointers to the Women on What to
Wear and How to Wear II.

| cannot be said to be in harmony WITH
good taste in regard to clothes. how
ever. This applies more largely to
! party and dress up clothes, than to
the little every day frocks.
The practical clothes are plain
enough and are unusually attractive
All the little frocks are cut on the new
narrow lines, now so popular with wo-
men. This is particularly true in the
wash frocks. Some of the little dresses
are finished off at the hem or at the
bottom with a band of the embroidery
or of the material itself. Others have
sash effects which draw in the dress
slightly, giving the banded effect.
Little cluster plated skirts. caught
in with straps are also shown. In fact'
all the STYLES that are favored by the
older folk are duplicated for the wee
lady, with considerable success. The
empire waist line for example, which
was always good for children, is back
again and is being shown in many ex-
cellent models.
| The little tunic skirt is an adapta-
tion of the grown up styles to the lit
tie folks. In some instances the tunic
is merely simulated and the dress is
made in one piece, but in others the
tunic is separate and is slipped over
the dress, somewhat on the order OF the
choir boy vestment, in women's gar
ments. The tunic is sometimes of en-
broidery or of lace and is worn over
a perfectly plain dress, making most
attractive garment. Sometimes the
tunic Is made with short sleeves and
cut out in the neck. This is worn with
a guimpe and killed skirt.
Tunics of various lengths are seen,
but the most favored are those that
come to almost the knees. or slightly
above.
| The kimono sleeve is everywhere in
evidence in children's garments. Many
sleeves, however, instead Of being cut
in one with the body OF the dress are
made separately and joined with a
wide plat or bertha, which comes just
over the shoulder and hides the join
ing. In the simplest of the morning
frocks, many have regular sleeves with
lust a slight fullness above the arm.
In some of the yoke dresses, the short
oversleeve is of the kimono type and
is of the same material as the dress
itself, while the undersleeve is of sheer
fabric to match the yoke, and is made
full length.
The white dresses for spring are now
seen in all the stores and shops. Most
of them are made with the narrow,
straight skirt effect. They are nearly
all trimmed with a band around the
bottom and are much narrower than
they were last season, but the major
| ity of them have enough fullness to
allow the child to walk in them with
comfort. In the embroideries, the
beautiful open work English effect is
| most favored, as Is also hand embroid-
cry and the imitation of hand embroid-
cry and laces.
The regulation sailor dresses are
shown in large quantities. The inter-
est in these types. always keeps up,
regardless of the variety Of other
styles.
| The coats for spring wear are
| charming. Nearly all Of the smartest
models fasten at the side and nave
long revers. One of the smartest and
most attractive, was made of soft. 1ut
rough surfaced tan colored serge
| smartly trimmed with woolen latticed
net, embroidered in blue and green wool
The collar and cuffs were made of this
odd material. The collar was rounded
in the back and from it and the cuHs
blue and green tassels of the wool
hung. The buttons were very large
and were made of the embroidered
wool inside serge rims.
| Another new coat, is made of gray
chinchilla, and white knitted cap with
an immense white pompon is worn
with it.
| Any number of little coats in fawn
colored broadcloth are shown, many OF
these are exquisitely embroidered in
self colored tones.
| Peau de souris is an admirable
cloth for children's outdoor garments
Many of the new outdoor garments
for spring are made of this excellent
material.
A pretty, practical frock, is made OF

trimming of Alice blue silk and little
guimpe with short sleeves of embroid-
cred batiste. The skirt has band OF
the blue silk around the bottom, and
little steel buttons ornament this
] Another pretty frock is of blue Hen
rietta over a box plated underskirt
The belt and landings are made of SILK
striped with lines Of gray soutache and
trimmed with tiny steel buttons. An
embroidered collar of deep butter col
ored batiste finishes the neck and a
smart little jabot is drawn through
an embroidered slit at the side.
Nothing is quite so charming for the
small girls party dress, as fine lingerie

are also appropriate trimmings, but
beyond a certain point elabOrateness
even on these legitimate lines, defeats
it's own ends, and the child dressed
with exquisite simplicity is the child
whose mother shows that she under
stands what is what, in the art OF
dressing children.
Black velvet has invaded the chill
drens realm, not as a party frock use
but for the dressy afternoon and street
wear, and it is so very becoming that
one is disposed to approve of its use
Often gray Bulgarian or oriental en-
broidery relieves the black, or some
times a pretty lace collar or guimpe is
used.
Plaids, checks and striped gingham
plain and fancy percales, chambrays
linens, dotted mulls and organdies are
among the most popular wash fabrics
for this season.
