 sss AND 7sl EMBROIDERY DESIGNS.
 Long waisted effects are almost uni- iorlnly becoming to little girls and this irock with points that extend over the belt gives distinctly new lines. On the figure, it is made from soft finished pique with a plaited skirt but, since the skirt can be gathered, it is just as we'll adapted to thinner materials and, in the small view, cotton voile is shown. The body portion is made in Japanese style in one piece with the sleeves, so that there are very few seams and the making means very little work. Embroidery is in the height of style and always gives an effect of elegance to any costume and the design illustrated is a pretty one that does not involve much time but, as matter ot course, the finish can be any preferred one, scalloped edges without the flower sprays, or under-faced edges and trim ming of some little banding within. .
