R FEVER has there been a season of
 " pTettier or more attractive styles for the younger folk than this one. Girls of all ages are most attractively dressed and while their frocks are smart and becoming, they are simple and ad- mirably we'll adapted to outdoor life. There Is nothing restrictive or conhning and whether the girl is at an age to enjoy golf and tennis or simply to run and jump and be happy without any rule, she wears garments perfectly suited to the occasion.
 Very little girls like simple one-piece dresses with boomers to match and there never was fashion that carried greater satisfaction to both mother and child. They mean perfect happiness and freedom for the youngster and, at the same time, they protect the underclOthing and reduce laundering to the minimum. For the long morning hours given over to pastimes of various sorts, nothing could make a better costume. Normal, active little girls like to climb and to jump. Dresses that are hampering or too dainty tor service are always something of a bore. These delightful ones made all in one piece, with the boomers, give a pretty and attractive effect while the child has no need to think clothing when they are worn. Calatea, sturdy linen and materials of the kind are much used bat the lighter weight ginghams and the like also are appropriate. The one great need is for durability and that Is found in many fabrics of the season.
 Boomers are especially satisfactory for the younger girls but are worn at all ages. When one Is camping or taking walking trip or indulging in any sort of that reOttfraS T0arfacf boomers are freer than petticoacs and also correct for the girl of fourteen as we'll as for the younger folk. For the little folk, they are made to motch the dress and also for the girls of ten and twelve years of age but with the coming of longer skirts, the necessity for the matching material ceases and bloomers of silk and of linen are worn beneath all gowns.
 Simplicity may fairly be said to be the . one all important characteristic for all the costumes designed for the younger contingent, and whether there is a one piece frock, a tunic dress or a blouse costume, 1t is kept simple in effect. Every variation of the sailor idea finds place in the girls wardrobe and this season the middy suits and the middy blouses are especially attractive but Norfolk styles are close rivals, and for many occasions the little dresses that are made either with blouse and skirt joined by belt or all in one piece are to be preferred. The up-to-date girls wardrobe requires changes. She must have her outing costume for golf, for tennis and the like; she must have her afternoon frock; and she must have the still daintier one for dancing parties and occasions of the kind. For morning wear gingham, chambray, galatea, linen. French percale and similar materials are the preferred ones; for afternoon occa- sions, there are lawns, dmities, batiste and voile for warm days, lovely soft finished piques and linens in dainty coIors for the cooler ones; and for the really hne costumes designed for the hotel dance are used chiffon, embroidered marquisette and voile, embroidered muslin and other dainty materials of the kind with trimming of lace or fine embroidery. White is always lovely worn by little girls but this season color with white ;s almost fad and a great many of the Whl-e dresses are worn with colored sashes and sometimes over colored sims such transparent fabrics as vo;le and marquisette being especially attractive
