A little dress is pictured here well
designed for little girls from eight to
thirteen years old. 1t Is fuller In the
skirt and sleeves than the majority OF
dresses designed for such youthful
misses. The fullness is provided by
shocking and tucks laid In the mate
rial. In addition to these there are
single box plaits outlining a panel IN
the back and front, and on the under
arm seams. These plaits extend to
the band Of shocking which heads

r. HE liking for the fiaring collar has
resulted In many notifications of
the original design patterned after the
medici collar. Combinations of the
fiaring collar and small vestee made
of organdie, lace, or net are endless
in variety. Then there are the com
binations Of the haring collar and
revers to be worn with blouses or
coats. In many of these only the
back of the collar has been left, the
fare at the sides being dispensed
with. With the advance of the season
this particular development Of the
medici collar hiss increased its popu-
larity.
In the picture neckpiece with the
back fare and revers is shown
made Of organdie, trimmed with valen-
ciennes edging. II is decorated with
two rows Of hem-stitching, one Of
them fastening the lace to the or
candle. The collar Is supported by
four very fine wires ut the back, and
the revers show a decoration Of tiny
covered buttons at one side. This Is
dainty and easily Numbered neck
piece which will give an up-to-date
touch to the blouse or little coat with
which Il is worn.
