The Blue or Blue and White Frock. |
Every small maiden insists upon
having at least one blue frock in her
summer outfit. She does not always
get an all-blue garment, but she usual
" attains something in blue and white,
as the frocks in this combination are
too fascinating for even thrifty moth
ers to resist. Absolutely irresistible is
a blue -and-whte striped batiste made
into a sleeveless frock. which close;
tlndly at the left or front, under a
rlain blue band finely headed with
hard embroidery. A similar band tin-
ishes the bottom OF the scant short
skirt, but embroidery only defines the
edges of short-sleeved bolero, which
ties over a peasant shirt in white lin
gerie. With it is worn quaint, close
fitting little bonnet in batiste, with a
cluster of roses at its front edge and
blue silk streamers falling from under
bow at its back.
Small girls hats are very pretty this
summer. An attractive Leghorn sailor
with turned down brim, banded with
velvet ribbon and trimmed with a
suray of flowers, is shown at the top
of the page. For morning wear on the
beach a second hat IN Leghorn Or
Panama is shown, which is suitable
for a little girl or her small brother.
1t is bound on the under side OF the
brirn with a velvet roll, and about the
crown velvet or ribbed silk ribbon IS
run through slides at the left side.
VaIenciennes in Filmy Bonnet
An adorable bonnet for tot is
flmy affair in white point d'esprit and
Vslenciennes, illustrated at the left Its
.rilly brim sets closely about her curls,
its crown is rather high, and about it
is twisted pink ribbon matching the
shade of the lining.
Two favorite suit models with moth
ers Of very small boys are OF kindred
colorings. but of different styles. One
of them has a box coat, fastening
under under a tie at the throat and
short tab at the hips. Its fiat collar,
the cuffs on the conventionally cut
sleeves and the scant knee skirt are
in Canton blue linen.
The other suit, one-piece affair,
has a skirt which at the waist line
at back and front runs in a SIM
gle sharp point to a broad white
collar, under which is gathered
the top of a blue blouse. AT
the elbows, the sleeves are turned back
with white cuffs and about the low
placed waist line goes white belt.
Many mothers prefer to dress their
small sons in MILDLY suits OF white
eolfine-a material promising to with
stand a morning Of strenuous beach
work with sand shovel and pail.
