in the sleeves viii dispose of the extra
lengths.
The dresses pictured are models that
are suitable for girls between the ages
of six and fourteen years. They are ad-
vanced designs that have touches that
make them extremely smart. but they
are so simple that they can be developed
from any good pattern that is cut along
the same lines. The kimono sleeve, even
for children. is the rule, and broad belts

fuller skirt than those worn last year. q
blouse at the waist-line. except where
the dress is in one piece. and Jackets and
Jacket effects are the rule. In fact. the
styles follow closely those Of the grown
ups, even to the shaping OF the necks
and collars and the length OF the sleeves.
When making these dresses the bast-
ing and stitching are important items,
and IL this part of the work is carefully
attended to there is no reason why the
dress will not turn out satisfactorily and
keep its shape until worn out Where
there is a waist and skirt they are made
separately and entirely finished, with the
exception Of the hem OF the skirt before
they are Joined. French fells are used
for the seams Of the waist and sleeves,
and those of the skirt are stitched in
the ordinary way, the edges overcast
and pressed open. When the collar and
cuffs are made detachable, the sleeves
and neck are finished with a bias facing
Of the goods. The collar and cuffs, IL of
material. are cut double and stitched
around the edges. Along the bias edge
of the collar II is well to haste a strip of
linen tape before II is stitched, and this

The waist is cut In one with the sleeves,
and the neck is square, but the latter
may be shaped IN any pleasing line. The
trimming on both the neck and sleeves

suggestion and have them adjustable
Plaits give the fashionable fare to the
skirt, and a very wide material belt con-
ceals the joining of the waist and skirt.
