It slips on over the head and fastens by means of narrow ribbon in black or dark blue laced through the eyelets. A bit of needlework appears on the cuffs and collar in small embroidered disk of the same size as the eyelets.
 A dress of striped pique or other striped material is pictured at the right. It is made with seton belt, and two plaits appear at each side, in the skirt portion, below the belt. The collar and cuffs in white are edged with a plain buttonhole-stitched scal- Top, and this simple edging finishes the plait which covers the front open ing.
 A double row of round buttons is set down the front, and two larger buttons of the same kind fasten through but. | tonholes in the ends of the belt, which is stitched to the dress only along the upper edge at the sides and back This makes 1t convenient to launder the dress. JULIA BoTTOMLEY.

Summer or winter, the play and school frocks of the very small girl are made of materials that can be washed. Durable linen in the natural or in gay coiors, wash flannel, pique, gingham, chambray, kindergarten cloth. all present themselves to the hand of the seamstress, in plain plaid and striped designs. Very little trim ming is used and little girls frocks must depend for their style on color, cut and combinations of plaid or striped with plain material
 But if good taste prohibits much trimming on the clothes of the little miss it encourages a bit of pretty needlework and oddities in cut. So long as the designer does not depart from simplicity or unbroken lines she may indulge her fancy for unusual shaped yokes, sleeves and yoke in one. and quaint effects in finishing touches
 The two little frocks pictured here are of the everyday sort that mothers are making up in heavy linens and other wash fabrics. In them the little girl may romp along with her broth CTS; they are designed for much wear

CHECK NEEDED TOUCHING UP
Bank Cashier Handled the Subject automatically, But Sensitive MT.
 BrushIy Was Annoyed.

This check of yours,' said the large-hearted cashier to Brushly, the impressionist painter, sis drawn ex- ceedingly well, and in composition seems to be pretty nearly perfect; but it lacks background, MT. Brushly. But for that it would be a work of art. Your foreground is charming, but just trifie too-well, shall we say too fanciful?"
 I don't know what you are driving at, growled Brushly. T suppose you know what you mean, however. What kind of background would you sug- gest?"
 Cash" said the cashier "A work of art like this, calling for the pay ment of $50, is not wholly convincing with sketchy little overdraft of $2.S9 on deposit to provide the necessary contrasts in light and shade and to give the thing what we might call balance"
 Whereupon Brushly, like the self respecting man he was, snapped his fingers under the impudent fellows nose and transferred his oyerdraft to the trust company across the street, Judge.

trimmings, unlike any that have gone before.
 Three of the new patterns are shown in the group pictured here. The small hat at the top has coronet of velvet which is wide at the back but narrowed to small upturned brim at the front. A brilliant corded silk GOV CTS the crown and the inside of the coronet, forming binding about the edge of the hat. Two smart, upstand- ing plumes at the back, taken with the shape of the hat, suggest a mili- tary mode.
 At the left a wide-brimmed hat with soft crown is made of velvet. The brim is curved in gentle and grace full lines A metallic braid and large flower, which looks like the airiest of tiligree, make up the simple and very effective trimming.
 At the right felt hat faced with velvet shows another of the pictur- esque wide-brimmed models. In this hat the crown is higher. Wide moire ribbon and silver lace adorn the un- usual shape, in which the brim is deeply slashed at each side.

In the displays of new millinery that women complain that the great variety in style and design in new hats is be- wildering. There are so many shapes to choose from! Shall the hat be made of velvet or hatter's plush or felt or velour or fur or selected from among the innumerable combinations of these and other fabrics? What is the wisest choice in a season not domi hated by few styles?
 Such season leaves the individual to her own resources in making a choice. But it affords her chance to exercise fine judgment in suiting her millinery to her own particular type There are few freakish styles, in spite Of this wonderful variety in hats, and there is hat for every face.
 One cannot go wrong in choosing velvet or any of the materials men tioned. Colors are dark and rich, and trimmings correspond. Metallic faces and braids, elaborate beadwork. silk and velvet flowers (and those covered with tinseD, ribbons of high luster, and rich ostrich plumes, are set off by the hats of beautiful and sedate colors that form the best of backgrounds for them. Fur and the most elaborate and carefully made fancy feathers, or the peculiar new cut steel ornaments pro- vide many novelties in the way of
