TIME outstanding excellence of chill
i dren's clothes for spring lies
mostly In their simplicity and their
neatness, and neatness In children's
apparel is another name for smart
ness. Leaving furbelows TO party
frocks, designers have taken blue
serge, plaid woolens and many sub
stantial cotton goods and turned them
into enchanting things for little girls
to spend their days In.
For the younger girls serge dresses
with bloomers to match or with bloom
ers of plaid material leave nothing
to be desired in dresses for everyday
wear. Detachable white collars and
cuffs of linen or heavy cottons or fan

and the success with which they have

coat is cut in long pointed panels
that overlap, and there is large and
very becoming collar with silk cord
and tassel in the color of the cloak

roses, set in leaves cut from black

TO the excellence of the design. They
are placed at each side on a panel

Another wrap of taffeta has a deep
yoke with a full cape gathered TO IL

taffeta was chosen for this cape with
embroidery in sapphire blue and blue
