TN the showing of spring and sum-
i mer clothes for very little girls we
are distracted between the contempla-
ton of sheer little frocks that be-
speak "dress up" wear and numerous
ingeniously designed rompers that
foretell good times both in and out of
doors. Fashion smiles on hand sewing
and as result we find hemstitching,
fancy stitching and fine hand-run
tucks. Black and white stitchery is
used for decorating little frocks and
rompers and by way Of adding an
other charm. tiny figures Of animals
done in cross-stitch in colors often ap-
pear on the belt.
A good many of the rompers are
made with waists and knickerbockers
separate and buttoned together. By
this management two pairs of knick-
ers may be allowed each waist, and
white waists worn with colored knick-
ers. Checked gingham Is combined
with plain chambray both in dresses
and rompers. the body being of the
plain material and the skirt or knick-
ers of the check. The small checks
are very popular and pretty and show
all the different spring cOlors COM
bined with white in checks. One of

is worth considering by stout women.
Even though they are gathered about
the waist on an elastic band, the silks
are so light and soft that they are not
bulky, and the same is true of batiste.
A petticoat and a pair of knicker-
bockers in dark colored satin, shown
in the picture above, are among the
practical things for street wear that
are interesting women just now. The
skirt fits smoothly about the hips and
is bordered at the bottom with a
band Of ribbon, which can hardly be
called a f1ounce because its fullness is
so scant. 1t is wide enough to be
comfortable. But 1t suffers little by
comparison with knickerbockers. There
is no question of width in them. and
they do not fray out at the bottom or
accumulate dust.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1920-02-07

TT TAKES less time than formerly
i to introduce new ideas in women's
apparel Of any kind. In the displays
of new undertakings we find knicker-
bOckers likely to supersede petit
coats and etti-bockers-their rivals
for favor with women. All three are
in the race, the time-honored silk pet
ticoat for street wear, the newly popu-
lar knickerbockers and that compro-
mise that stands between the two-the
tti-bOcker-which Is merely the
knickerbocker with fiounces at the
bottom to simulate petticoat.
The knickerbockers have arrived at
that point Of popularity where their
name is abbreviated to "knickers,"
and they are shown with camisoles in
wash satin, crepe de chine and wash
silks, to take the place of the chemise.
In dark colors they replace petticoats,
and when worn with camisoles make
1t possible to dispense with the che
mise altogether. This is a point that

ing 1t on in different designs, with the
mercerized cotton floss in black.
The most interesting thing about
these clothes for play Is the variety
and ingenuity of cut in rompers.
Some of them have the peg top" Of
trousers, some of them look just like
churchman's breeches," and others
look much like skirts. AS ingenious
and pleasing as any are romper
suits in which knickerbockers and
waists are cleverly made together, as
in the example shown above. This Is
made more attractive by little frill
about the neck and on the cuffs and
tucked panel at the front ending
under belt that slips under the
plaits at each side. These extra fur
bellows make the garment distinctly
little girls affair.
Thrice welcome to the pretty SUM-
bonnet that tops off these rompers
1t should never be bartshed, for 1t is
washable and cool.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l9.-Progress in
the treaty debate in the Senate will be
halted, in all probability. until all the
correspondence between President Will
son.apd the allied governments on the
Adriatic question IS made pubic and
given to the Senate.
This was strongly intimated today
by Scpa,.r Lodge, in an Informal DIS
cussion of the treaty situation. 1t is
said there is q strong bolief among
those opposed to it, that all the facts
in regard to the Adriatic settlement
should be made known before any fur
ther steps are taken that might lead
to ratification of the Versailles pact.
The reason for this Is simple in>view
of the fact that what has been allowed
ter, Indicates clearly that the United
states may have been bound into GER
tain commitments with regard to ac-
tfon in the Adriatic. which no one In
this country except the President
