The Made in United States" slogan
has made us realize there is new
form OF patriotism. and that We can
DO little better than instill the young
er generation to do homage to the ma
tional trademark.
The influence of American fashions
is as potent in juvenile fashions as in
that of the grown-ups. American de
siEners knowing that little Miss
America has a mind of her own, has
created miniature styles practical and
unusually fetching. Ouaintness is the
keynote and the realms of fashions
fanCies have been transacted for ideas
which will suit the needs of the little
folks.
This year there are many odd and
distinctive effects. Some have
Mother Goose charm. others have
Kate Greenaway tendency. Little mid
die suits adapted from our navy are
frequently seen. as we'll the Eng
lish naval ideas. There are Russian.
Dutch. French and military inspira-
tions in the frocks for little folks.
For the wee tots. from years to :,
there are little empire dresses with
the short waist finished with button
hole slashes through which a sash is
drawn and tied. either at the back or
at the side front. The skirt. like
mothers, is often frilIed. and not one
but several lace edged ruitteS give
piquant touch TO the little dress.
Shocking distinguishes many of the
girlies' little dresses. and some in
linen shocked in contrasting colors,
look just like picture book dresses.
Patent leather belts in black. as
well as bright Colors. with steel
buckles in width from to inches
inches. are noticed on many juvenile
dresses.
The older sisters dresses are modi-
fed editions OF the elders dresses.
Sand and grays are also welcome in
the junior world. Blue is always the
girls best friend for service.

the least, bad taste-for Americans.
