The third pioue frock was in a 4.

The third pique frock was in a ten.
year size. and had tabs of tucked
battste inserted In each sleeve and at
the front. near the neck. The pique
was stitched down over the tucked
tabs and a row of tiny pearl buttons

tab. This frock had a belt Of black

black patent leather with cloth tops.
Black boots with white stockings are
a rad Just now. for grown women as
we'll as for children: and such boots
are considered smarter than white
boots except with very elaborate
frocks. Indoors. the little girl years
outtoned strap slippers with white
stockings or socks. Very little folk
wear socks with plaid or fancy tons.
but the girl of eight or ten. though
she may wear the comfortable socks il
her mother pleases. wears the palmer
sort with buttoned boots in the street.
n fourth ptque frock was perfect
~ plain except for a little pleated frill
of hemstitched lawn at the neck and
dozens and dozens of buttons with cord
loops attached. These buttons wen all
the way down the front; half way up
the sleeves on the other side. and four
inches up each side of the skirt at the
side seams. The striking feature of

at front and back and the belt passed
through these. continuing around the

5-year-old has a circular cape edged
all around with corded quilting and
the front laps across and fastens un-

covered buttons and corded loops, a
row down the front, a row up each
slashed side seam to the waist. Across
the back there is a belt, also button.
