Party clothes planned for summer
wear Of little folks need not take much
of the time even of the most painstak
ing mother. For a choice in styles in
dresses for her little girl she would
better be frank copyist of the frocks
made by those who specialize in
children's wear. For with their ener-

field of endeavor they turn out orig
inal and alluring things that are
delight to look upon, and simple
enough to be easily made. AS for
the small boy, his case is easily dis
