in tremendously good taste. 1t is
the discriminating woman of taste
who can pick out from this assort-
ment OF children's apparel that
which most appeals to her.
Now no matter how elaborate and
how intricate women's apparel may
become 1t is never in good taste to
dress the little girl in fussy cloth<
The extremely simple frock never
comes into vogue for little girls be-
cause it never goes out. And this
year when ribbons and ruffles and
laces and bows predominant for
women's summer apparel there are
ever SO many little girls dresses
that are not really simple enough
In the illustration today you may
see one of the frocks that steers
clear of this over-ornateness. 1t is
of pique-and in this fabric the
mother always makes a wise selec-
tion for her daughters frocks
There is a panel front and back that
hangs over a plated skirt, thus sug-
gesting the mode for the tablieI
blouse that has come in for SO much
favor with women. The lower edge
the neck line and the turned-back
cuffs are finished in hand embroid-
cry. and there are buttons apparent
ly to hold the tablier front over the
side belt. -...
The hat is in as good taste as the
frock. 1t is simple but it is gay
enough to please the little girl as
well as her mother. The crown is OF
figured silk while the brim is OF
straw. There are long ribbon
streamers at the back, made of the
narrow ribbon which encircles the
base of the crown.

Il Britain's far-Eung garrison line

India and Egypt and only recently

one by the comparative smallness OF

to the millions Of square miles Of ter

insignificant in size.
Excepting the army Of occupation

forces engaged on all fronts total but
100000. OF these, about 1870 hail
from the British isles, $4,000 from
Australia and Canada, and the rest

The British have forces in Italy. the

In addition TO certain outlying ports
