A pretty finish FOR the jaunty little
cutaway coats, which is seen to great
extent In the adult suits, also, is the
ecalloped edge. The entire bottom OF
the coat, and the fronts to the lowest
button. are cut in shallow scallops
about three inches across, which are
bound with a narrow soutache braid.
In white serge, which had hair line
stripe Of black, the effect was espe-
cially good.
The cunning garments for the wee
kiddies this season show a wide va
riety Of styles. There are sailor suits
and Russian blouse suits for the riny
men, and killed styles and quaint sur
plice designs for small sister. The two
piece effects will be much worn this
summer. These consist OF a plated
skirt Joined to an underbody, and an
overblouse made usually in kimona
style. These may be worn with or
without a belt, but they are particu-
larly pretty when finished with one OF
the wide patent leather belts, which
are seen ON so many Of the little frocka.
For the play dresses the heavy mate
rails are favored-linen, rep, pique,
and washable corduroy. Many Of these
are quite plain except for the seal
loped edges, which are machine EN-.

are worn. The CATER idea has also
been adapted TO the low shoe, and
those who care for button effects in
the low shoe will find pretty style
which has the three buttons cleverly
placed at the side.
But it is the white shoe that Is in
the spot light, So to speak. In can
vas or In buckskin they are being
shown in a great variety Of styles.
There Is the high boot Of sixteen but
ton length. in either canvas or buck !;
there is the comfortable oxford, Of five
eyelets, the perennial pump and the
pretty Colonial slipper with its leather
or metal buckle. There is a marked
revival of the Colonial effects for both
evening and street wear.
And now a word about the even
ing and dancing slipper. Metal and
beaded styles have the preference, al
though the light kids and satins, usu-
