Smart Pockets Ornament the Fall Gowns

for all sorts and all shapes are shown. The
two gowns illustrated show quite different
sorts but equally smart ones The skirt to the
left is full below the prettiy shaped yoke and the
pockets are of the patch sort and arranged over it
The gown to the right is made with pockets that
inserted under the paits and these pockets ex-
tended to form the ornamental portions. One
gown is made from one of the new wool crepe ma

gown is made Of a dotted popin with trimming Of

the garments of the layette and fine
mercerized threads are the best for the
purpose. In the illustration shown
here, the night gown is finished with

put on IN that way, whipped to the

perfectly finished and the neck edge

Infant Needs

THERE is always a temptation 20
elaborate the little garments
- designed for the layette. Fine
needlework suits them 20 perfection
and these two designs are charming.
One is intended for petticoat that is
closed over the shoulders, the other for
a kimono night gown. Both garments
arc excellent and the night gown is,
perhaps, the most comfortable and
thoroughly satisfactory that the tiny
child can wear. The designs are
simple yet effective. As a rule, fine
nainsook would be the material chosen.
The flower designs may be done either
solidly or as eyelets, or in a oombi-
nation OF the two, but the scalloped
edges Of the pettiooat must Of course,
be padded and buttonholed, and the
little dots are designed TO be worked
either solidly or as eyelets. A very
pretty effect could be obtained by
using solid work for the flowers and
cyelet work for the leaves, the stems all
being outlined. As matter Of course.
