Nothing displaces fine and sheer

little girls. This year they are better
thought of than ever, because 1t is the

ewiss or net are among the things that
are counted on for the childrens' party
dresses. They stand unchallenged for
daintiness and for elegance. To match
up with the beauty Of these fabrics we
must select fine, narrow laces, and
fabric and lace are to be set together
with fine hand stitching Then every
thing is as it should be.
In the picture little maid of eleven
years or SO wears a frock of fine white
batiste employing narrow val lace and
a little embroidery for its adornment
There is nothing unusual about 1t; it
is merely fine specimen Of its kind
and is sure to meet with welcome rec
ognition. The frock has short, baby
waist and straight skirt About the
bottom of the skirt row of insertion
Is Joined to one of edging with very
narrow band of embroidered swiss and
lengths of insertion are let in the skirt
as shown in the picture

val lace insertion makes the little

the neck finish and sprays Of fine
embroidery appear on the two panels
at the center of the front. Every
needlewoman will know that it re-
quIres accurate, careful sewing to put
this little frock together in the right
way. But the result pays for the trou-
BILE. There Is not so much work, but
1t must be of first quality. There are
