CoLoRs-AND CoLoRs.

When one starts out to analyze the
names of the prevalent colors one can
do almost anything. For instance, IL
you want to think thai the popular
coIors are vegetable colors, why, then,
YOU have corn color and tomato red
and lemon yellow. If you want to
look for an inspiration from the at
mosphere and weather then you have
midnight blue and rust. II you think
of precious stones and jewelry as an
inspiration, there is jade green and
golden yellow and turquoise and pearl
and silver. And II you want to think
that summer colors owe their popu-
larity to summer flowers. why you
have rose and orchid and mignonetts
and heliotrope and violet.

lady's cap, Is now one Of the favorite
colors for the little girls frocks. And
we like it. partly because It is an
interesting change from tho eternal
pink and blue, and partly because It Is
striltingly becoming 20 the translucent
shin OF childhood. Yellow is another
color that of late years has not been
regarded as a good choice for children
and now II Is in high favor. A laven-
der frock trimmed with shocking Of
yellow yarn or with yellow organdy
patch pockets, cuffs and collar would
be a good selection.
Demands From England.
But we are in the main conservative
and perhaps 1t is because OF this con-
servativeness that England Is now
turning to US to supply her with an
enormous amount of ready made frocks
ana clothes for children. Once a large
number of these orders were taken
care of in Germany. Then during the
war there was little thought for chill
dren's clothes anyway. They wore
what they had or what could be
handed down from older children. and
now that peace has come 1t would
really seem. Judging from the size Of
the orders received In this country,
that every last child in England is
quite desperately in need of having
her wardrobe replenished.
But 1t Is the same story that you

hat there Is here. The French mamma,
wen of the better class, has a passion

IN her little girl. and she INDUCES this
passion. She is forever attempting

Conservation and Caution.
And in this country the feeling in
avor OF simpler clothes for little girls
has established itself so firmly that
makers Of children's apparel find it
harder to launch an elaborate or novel
ashton among the better class Of
buyers than among the less discrimi-
hating. Women know that the best
way to Judge another woman's social
position is by her children. When in
aoubt play safe. Is a good motto. II

something more elaborate or more
povel when you are not sure Of the
result? That, 1t would seem, is the
way that some women reason. How
tver, there are a few less cautious

title girls clothes and no doubt have
very entertaining time about 1t.

The bandeau seems to be a necessity.
The difference lies in the material and
the mode of adjustment. With the
little girl 1t is of ribbon to match the
ribbons on her frock. and II she Is
dressed for a party then there are
little roses tied in the bow at the
back. Some of the little frocks have
roses made Of crocheted woollen yarn
and with dress so trimmed It is a
quaint conceit to keep in reserve a
rose or so to fasten in the hair bow.

little girl wears are not SO very I'M

children's frocks nowadays Is some
times fine and Of the sort thai makes
the women who do 1t blind. 1t is al

that the war time prohibition has not

wai-:: and short skirt were not Juvenile
enough.
Perhaps the extremely short sleeve
that we have been trying to accustom
ourselves to over here and that has
already become accepted in Paris Is
nothing more nor less than another
Juvenile influence. for our very little
girls have gone with extremely short
sleeves in summer for many years and
in France 1t was never the custom for
them to wear long gloves with these
short sleeves. The sight OF very little
girls with very short sleeves and
stubby little white cotton gloves, as
they walk demurely in the parks or
along the sunshiny boulevards, was in
pre-war days one OF the Impressions
that the American tourist brought
back with him from Paris. And now

Although st, Swithin was voicing his

festation Of the great popularity OF

self, Irish drops and Irish lace-covered
buttons are extensively used in the
better sort OF children's clothes.
Shocking, which is never out of
fashion or favor for children's frocks,
is another trimming which is used
freely. Sometimes rather oddly too, as
when you see yellow organdy frock
shocked with lavender wool or a nile
green one shocked with blue. Narrow
ribbons are used rather freely and they
are decidedly smart when they are
turned to account as the belt OF the
frock. Often they are drawn around
the waist and tied In a true loves knct
at the left side Of the front.
Just where this waist line is placed
Is almost as much disputed 10, little
girls as 1t is for grown folk. The idea
seems to be at present that many Of
the frocks imported from France show
long waist with waistline around
the hips. while in this country the high
waistline persists. But there Is always
the necessity for Americans to take
French Juvenile apparel with a grain
or two of salt. For the French mothers
clothes that we would regard as far
too short and too tight.
From the Orient.
We hear little about the Oriental
influence on children's clothes, and
indeed any direct Oriental influence
has been practically negligible. True,
children's frocks are cut with kimono
sleeves because their mothers have
kimono' sleeves and this style undoubt-
eddy came from Japan. but as for
setting out to model our children's
clothes on those of the Orient-that
has until now been unheard of.
However, one daring designer is now
making little girls play dresses with
straight Chinese trousers confined
with straight little Jackets that fasten
about the neck with fiat collarless
line, for all the world like those Ct a
Chinese youngster The material used
was gingham. but the color combina-
ton was Chinese. and inasmuch as
they make an ideal play get up ttere
Is good reason to believe the idea will
find many friends. It would be IN
teresting to know how much further
this Oriental influence in children's
clothes will go. .-

1t would perhaps be misleading to

ingly like that Of the little girl. She

hear in many other departments Of
industry-more orders than mater ials,
the necessity to let really golden OPP
portunity slip by because Of a shortage
of the raw material. But there are
compensations in the business Of
making children's clothes. The man
who builds automobiles or harvesters
cannot piece out with a little hand
embroidery or a cleverly placed bow
or ribbon. But the one who makes
children's clothes can. So a good
many Of these orders that might other
wise have been lost are being mana ged
simply by making the materials go as
far as they will.
All Of which has a very important
bearing on the subject of fashions for
little girls clothes. Hand embroidery
Is in high favor, lace OF which the
shortage is not SO great as It is for
more substantial materials, is used,
not with profusion, but more than it
has been for some time, and ribbon is
everywhere evident. Although there
is much talk Of a return to rufTies and
although a few of the very expensive
frocks are ruffied, the tendency is to
the scanter. less bouffant models. In
fact the very scantiness Of the ma
terial In some of the new frocks shas
witchery that Is all its own-and a
significance, for II means that because
we were willing to forego the ru!fies
the little girls Of Britain might have
