FASHIONS FOR GIRLS
COMFORT AND PRACTICALLY
ARE RULING FEATURES.
Color and Style That Suit the Youth
fui Wearer Given Close Attention
-One-Piece Frocks in Two
Dainty Designs.

Happily for the peace Of mothers,
none of the eccentricities Of adult
garments pervades little wardrobes.
In all departments children's clothes
are sensible, all wear for everyday
use being made up with an eye to
comfort and practicability. At the
same time, however. a good deal or
attention is given to the color and
style that suit the small Wearer, so
whether the little garment is bought
ready made or is made at home much
consideration is given to suitability.
And. after all it is this quality, the
right line and the right color, which
makes up that subtle essence called
style.
A juvenile shop is an excellent
place in which to study up effects for
home sewing. for these stores engage
the best designers and makers and
the small garments are simpler and
nothing of the superiority Of their
material over the usual thing.
School and everyday clothes in
these delightful places-for they are
as interesting in some departments
as doll houses-run largely to soft,
dark woods with white or bright
touches, Scotch plaids, being as al
ways. much favored
Some of the newest plaids. though,
are made in olny two colors, the pat
tern showing double line crossing
in square check in different sizes.
These pretty stuffs, and others of the
plaid family. are much used for trim
ming a plain goods-the patterned
material showing in deep sailor COL
lar. or in an edging for this and the
cuffs, and in bands used elsewhere.
A dress entirely Of the plaid may be
made up with bit of silk in one of
the dominant tones of the goods. Red
and black and green, blue and black
and white. and brown and white are
some smart color combinations in
these ever-stylish and gay materials.
Other stuffs for growing children
from the kindergarten are up to eight
likewise run greatly to a pattern Of
some sort. as it is found that the
such textures stay clean longer than
the plain ones. Soft woods with mot

seen. and if the frock is very simple

The two small girls in the illustra-
ton wear regulation one-piece frocks
in the styles suited to four and six
years old. The dress o. the bigger
girl is of a broken-check plaid wool
