very Dickens of a revolution in chill
dren's styles and Dickens novelties
cartorialy bid fair 10 become popular
as Dickens novels. The David Cop
perfeld suits are the best in the field
and are as practically comfortable
and sensible for the small boy as
they are quaint and artistic.
The favorite combination OF
white linen or cotton poplin waist
with the ankle length trousers of
contrasting color fastening to it with
large pearl buttons and collar and
cuffs to match the trousers are
charming in color schemes of delft
blue, leaf green, pink, tan and old
rose with white. A model that will
bring joy as laundry Hghtener,
is an all dark brown cotton poplin
relieved by the big white pearl but
tons and frills of thin white batiste
at the neck and wrists. Often the
waists are fashioned Of white cloth
striped in the same color as the
trousers.
For more elaborate and dressy oc-
casions come the Copperfield suits
evolved with waists of corded or
china silk and trousers of black
satin, and for the little RollOs and
Percys who never, never soil their
pretty clothes are suits of pale blue
Ill ell
The Paul Dombey suits are not un-
like the MILDLY blouse suits of last
season. In fact, the waist is cut ex-
actly like a MILDLY, sans the sailor
collar They are best when develop
ed in colored linen with the straight
knee length trousers of the same
cloth, although the two-color scheme
is employed in these suits also to
suit ones taste.
Dresses for the small lass called
Little Dorrit frocks are exactly like
the David Copperfield suits of her
small brother except that in lieu OF
trousers they have a pleated skirt OF
colored cotton poplin that fastens
with the quaint white pearl buttons
high up on the little waist of white.
The queer little tam-o' -shante1
shaped hats of straw with a visor
and two dinky ribbon ends hanging
down behind like David Copperfiel6
and Paul Dombey affected are the
correct things in the hat line fol
young hopefuls today. Little invert
ed butter-bowl shapes of straw arr
also good.
Another cunning style has thu
straight knee-length pants and ;
waist cut like coat with a front G
white pique to simulate a littl
waistcoat This model is particular
ly satisfactory developed in cham
bray. Even rompers have undergon
a complete metomorphosis and il
their newest state are little one-piec
suits, short kimono sleeve, squar
low neck and ending in trunk lengtl
straight pants instead of the full
boomers of the rompers of yester
day. Nothing cooler or more at
