Validity of the proposed eonstitu.

were set forth that it had not been

n HE everyday" dress for the lit
! tie girl of school age pictured here
leaves nothing to be desired in the
way of design or material employed.
From the age at which the little miss
takes up the responsibility of getting
her schooling until she turns her back
upon the primary grades, dresses of
this type are for her, and for all her
general wear. They do not vary
great deal from season to season, but
appropriate some of the new features
brought in for the dresses of their
elders, by way of becoming interest
Ing.
In this particular model novelty
that will please everyone is noticeable
in the introduction of simulated cir
die which provides for two pockets.
This may be managed so as to make
the pockets more or less practical,
as in the case of pockets on tea
aprons where they amount to deco
rative feature, but will take care of
the handkerchief and other small ar
tic1es.
The dress shown here is made Of
linen in the natural color, with narrow
pipings Of plaid Bingham in bright
colors., These outline the collar, cuffs
and girdle. A ribbon tie, in the same
colors as the piping, finishes the neck
with one. long end threaded through
