n TEVER has there been season Of
" prettier or more attractive styles
for the younger folk than this one.
Girls Of all ages are most attractively
dressed and while their frocls are smart
and becoming, they arc simple and ad-
mirahly well adapted to outdoor life
There is nothing restrictive or conhning
and whether the gih 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 filzo simple one-paece
dresses With bloomers to match and
there never was a fashion that carried
lgreater 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 better costume. Normal, active
little girls like to climb and TO Jump.
Dresses that arc hamperlng or too dainty
for sorvice are always something OF q
bore These delightful ones made all in
one piece with the bloomers, give a
pretty and attractive effect while the
tchild has no need to think clothing
eaThen they are worn. Galatea, sturdy
Glinen and materials Of the kind are much
used but the lighter weight ginghams and
Tthe Ike also are appropriate. The one
great need Is for durability and that is
found IN many fabrics of the season.
BIoomers arc especially satisfactory
Ator the younger girls but are worn at ali
Iagcs When one is camping or taking
walking trip or indulging in any sort Of
outing that requires perfect freedom,
bloomers are freer than petticoats and
also correct for the girl OF fourteen as
well as for the younger folk For the
little folk, they are made TO match the
dress and also for the girls Of ten and
Twelve years Of age but with the coming
4Di 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, it IS kept simple in effect.
livery variation Of the sailor idea finds
place in the girls wardrobe and this
season the MILDLY suits and the MILDLY
Hs0uses are especially attractive but
Norfolk styles are close rivals, and for
G22ny occasions the little dresses that
afe made either with blouse and skirt
Joined by belt or all in one piece are tc
