Basques for Children

Every season 1t is more noticeable
that childrens clothes are being
made after the style Of their older
sisters. This autumn the basque
dresses are being reproduced in min
nature to fit girls of from twelve to
sixteen, says an exchange. In fact,
the basque is what the children have
been wearing for some time past,
and while II perhaps has not been
recognized in the sailor blouses and
long wasted dresses 1t has prevailed
Just the same. The models of this
season are little more fitted, per-
haps, but otherwise they are not
changed to any great extent.

Medium size requires 5% yards So
inch or 45s yards 54-inch material to
make, with 29ss yards 36-inch taffeta

AS illustrated, the skirt is just the
fashionable length for dancing. 1t
may be shortened, however, when
cutting by taking off the lower
edges of cores and fiounces on small
TO- perforations.
Satin makes a softer foundation
than taffeta. First join the cores as
indicated, leaving left side edges free

Roman Stripes in Favor

There are comparatively few plain
taffetas, for in the latest display there
are glace and chine effects, a. revival
of other days, which admit of an in
finite variety of combining two or
more colors. There Is plain taffeta
named for the tango, which is avail
able in all the alluring new shades.
Roman striped taffeta is a fas-
cinating novelty. 1t radiates new col
ors with every change OF light and
shadow and is employed in conjunc-
ton with plain silk and wooden
weaves. There is a most enticing
variety Of color schemes and designs,
from the neutral to the vivid color
ings. The plainest little frock rises
above the commonplace when enllv-
ened with gay Roman stripes.
Taffetas are checked, striped, block
ed and plaided. They appear in the
new school patterns and in elusive
pompadour and Dresden designs,
which are in demand for the quaint
panniers and new tunic forms.
