pink roses.
Corded And Embroidered Frocks
Linen and voile seem to be the ap-
proved materials for little girls frocks.
Linen dresses are especially smart
and come in tailored models of soft,
heavy linen and also in airy, sheer
models of handkerchief lawn in white
or lovely tints. A new frock for girl
of twelve years old is pictured-a
model of oyster white linen embroid-
cred with red cherries in scattered
clusters. The frock has slim, straight
lines though waist and skirt are gath
cred. The waist gathers are set on a
straight-across yoke and the sleeve Is
set in deep armhole. A red cord
with chenille balls Is knotted around
the low walstline. A red taffeta hat
embroidered in self tone goes with this
frock. The corded voile dress for a
smaller girl has also the yoke motif
which is notable in children's clothes
this spring. This little white voile
frock is handmade and is corded
and featherstitched on skirt, cuff and
yoke. The sheer volle frock goes over
a slip of pale pink silk and the Easter
bonnet is OF pink taffeta, with dash

blue striped grosgrain ribbon. A black
split-straw sailor has a wide roll brim
embroidered with roses in American
Beauty shade.
Hats Of unusual shape are most'be-
coming to some little girls--either the
curly haired pretty ones or the plain,
very smart ones. Such q hat, made
OF rough straw braid veiled with silver
net and trimmed over the ears with
chenille tomatoes Is pictured. The hat
is worn with an exclusive little frock
OF hemstitched linen.
Two ravishlng hats for the girl OF
fapper age are pictured and you will
admit that curls are almost indispens-
able with either OF these hats. one
model Is OF silver gray net in several
layers, the crown shirred over orange
velvet ribbon which falls In loops and
ends at one side; and the brim pleated.

IF YOU WEAR GLASSES

"a oBoDY wants TO don eyeglasses
nbut many people have TO whether
u they want 10 or not. Then the
very best thing to do Is to look ones
very best--in the eyeglasses.
You will speedily discover, when
you begin to look at yourself In the
mirror through eyeglasses, that you
cannot wear some OF the things you
looked well In before. Probably all
your relatives and friends will tell you
how becoming glasses are to you
they always do. you know: Just as they
take pains to assure you how stunning
they think gray hair Is and how they
wish they had it-when yours Is be-
ginning to turn gray and theirs Is still
brown. Perhaps glasses will be very
becoming to you-they are to mary
people, giving a suggestion OF intellect
uallty and fine breeding TO the face
that may, before, have been merely
pretty. The lenses OF eyeglasses make
eyes look a little larger than they act

CONCERNING RUFFLES

HVERYBODY will wear ruffles this
summer and whether you are lean
0or plump you must consider the
rui'ie situation and find the ruffles
most becoming to your type. Very
nat pleated ruffles, set on the skirt
obliquely will give a good line to the
stout hgure; or three tiers of pleated
hounces made of soft material like
chiffon or crepe de chine. Slender
women will choose ruffies as rufiy as
they can be made-gathered rufIies
set on gathered tunics and on elbow
sleeves. Narrow bias ruffies give
more bouffant effect than rufies cut
straight across the material. And
never on any account cut rufiies
lengthwise Of the goods--they have a
stiff and awkward effect always. Some
OF the taffeta frocks have fringed out
rufiles and summer dresses of organdy
or handkerchief linen have ruffies cut
In scallops and hand embroidered or
narrowly piped. The easiest way to
make ruffles, however, is TO have them
picot-edged. and this handy picot-
edging can be managed with chiffon,
Georgette, taffeta. satin. crepe de
chine, organdy and mousseline. Do
not cut the lengths OF material for
your rufi'es and have the endless strip
pieot edged. Instead. take a yard or
two OF material (measuring to find
out how much will be needed for all
your rufiles), and run lines OF basting
across. Then have the material hem
stitched on the lines and afterward cut
through the hemstitehing to make
strips OF rufrllag. Each strip will be
plcot finished along both edges but you
can turn In one edge before gathering.
YoS will find your picot edged ruffies
cost less this way, and there will be
less labor in cutting strips for ruf,ies.

skirts and rather short jackets, just
as grown-up suits have now; but belt
ed models remain the favorites for
childhood. very correct little tail
leur of blue serge is pictured. The
jacket is bound with black silk braid
and has a new sort of pocket with
three buttons on the pointed flap. The
skirt is pleated at back and front and
the whole costume has trim, slender
line. Appropriately. the tailored suit
is accompanied by tailored hat OF
excellent style--a milan sailor with
down-turned brim and band of gros-
grain ribbon tied across the front.
Above the bow is pleated chanticleer
comb OF ribbon that is q smart new
style note for this spring.
Another young girl OF the same age
wears top coat of tan wool velour,
very practical coat with convertible
collar and the new sleeve with shoul-
der dropped low In the MILDLY effect.
The tan coat falls almost to the edge
of a white linen frock and this little
maid wears patent leather walking
pumps with white clocked stockings.
Her hat is Of tomato red straw with
velvet ribbon in self tone and bunch
of bright red cherries at the front.
Easter Footwear For Little Folk
Girls of the fiapper age or a little
younger wear low-heeled pumps Of
the sort pictured with long stockings,
Younger children wear socks with
cunning ankle-strap slippers or little
oxfords If high footwear is preferred
for an Easter that comes just on the
edge Of winter. buttoned boots will be
the choice with the formal. sort OF
costume that Easter calls for.
The petticoats of tiny girls and the
breeches of tiny boys can scarcely be
too short for fashion just now. Club
BY legs are displayed several inches
above the knee and even coats have
this extreme brevity. The girl of ten
years has frocks just above the turn
OF her knee and ut twelve or thirteen
petticoats drop Just over the knee.
No little girl OF happer age. and GER
tainly no child OF younger age. should
be permitted fanciful strap slippers
with high heels. These are for grown
up women, not for youngsters and the
child's footwear is of simplest style
with heels just lifting the foot above
the ground.
Gray Fashionable For Childhood
Because gray is an extremely modish
shade this spring, many childish cos
tunes are in soft gray shades And
nobody can wear gray better than
fresh, rosy childhood. A fetching lit
tie gray costume for Easter is pic
tured. The double breasted top coat
Is Of very pale gray cloth with a belt
OF gray leather, The cunning saucer
hat Is made OF pale gray taffeta and
straw braid and has tiny pink chiffon
roses appliqued on It's brim, and a
dig silk tassel In rose color drapes
over the crown at one side An added
touch OF color is given In the gray and
rose border OF the socks. There are
lovely gray taffeta frocks for little
girls or ten or thereabout, rufiled
froeks with all the rufiies picot I'm
ished. one very Frenchy little frock
Is OF gray Georgette trimmed with
double rudies OF narrow black lace
and the sash Is OF black tAfleta ribbon

- OBODY looks quite so smart
and fresh and springlike on
Easter Day as a little lad or las
y - sic all logged out in new spring
wearables. For childhood is spring
time personified and the crisp new
clothes set off this charm of youth
and freshness as leaves freshly washed
by rain set off a flower. In the weeks
before Easter the childrens specially
shops show everything necessary to
smarter up childhood for the spring
season and windows along the Ave-
nue. are gay with new colors and
styles. 1t is pure pleasure to look at
the fascinating little togs, even If
there Is no small person at home to
be provided with joyous Easter raj
ment. The colors are so much livelier
and the styles SO much more dashing
than colors and styles in grown-up
clothes which-when intended for
outdoor wear on Easter or any other
day, must be more or less quiet and
conservative in appearance.
But here is an Easter coat for Ave
years-old made OF tomato red cloth
and matched by an enhancing tam in
the same glowing color. Who, over
fapper age would dare parade down
the Avenue on Easter morning in
garments of that compelling hue? And
for little people there are delectable
costumes in the faintest pearl gray, in
oyster white and in the new sponge
color dainty pale tan.
Omar Coat A New Style
In this delicate sponge color is "a
cape coat for wee girlhood. a new
coat called Omar, one scarcely knows
why unless 1t is because the round
motifs of the embroidery have the
whirling pattern shown in some IL
lustrations of the Rubaiyat and sup
posed to symbolic a fancy in the
verses. The Omar coat has deep
ripple cape embroidered with these
whirling discs and with lines connect
ing the discs. The circular cape is
attached TO a cunning yoke that is
laced up at the back with chenille
cords from which drop long tasseled
ends. To match the coat there is a
tam, embroidered on the brim with
lines and discs and at one side the
brim Is laced with tasSeled cords that
drop over the ear. Another Easter
coat from the same shop is of oyster
white wool. circular in cut and bulg-
ing at the waistllne. with a tapering
effect toward the hem. Pipings OF
rose colored wool outline a round
yoke and deep cum, and the seam that
divides the upper and lower sections
Of the garment at the waistllne is
piped with rose also 4 white tam
plped with rose goes with this coat.

OF course, dresses more soberly for
the street, even on Faster Day. she
may choose between a smart topcoat

the very young girl been permitted a

girl has her tailored costume and very
proud she Is OF It. The new suits for

Flannel Suits For Small Boys

A splendid suit for cool summer
days by the sea is the cunning model
pictured-a new style for wee boyhood
and made OF lightweight flannel with
flannel pipings for trimming. The loose
tunic has a yoke TO the waistline and
vertical pockets are set just below.
The little breeches are as short as

under the tunic. The slip-over tunic

NINE. WHEELER's CONCERT

Grantwood is a charming locality
which nature has endowed with many
attractions; vet Grantwood is priyi-
legged not only in this but also from
the artistic point of view. Last We'd
nesday it had ample opportunity TO
exercise it's faculty of appreciation
during a delightful concert organized
by that Maecenas in miniature, Nine.
Blanche Arral, whose devotion to her
art is never lacking.
The program was exquisitely chosen.
That excellent maestro, Al. Stoupanse,
whose talent We had the occasion to
appreciate during the operette sea-
son was in charge of the arrangement
and direction.
We heard once more another old ac-
quaintance, Arnold Becker, the sonor-
Gus baritone from La Monnaie at
Brussels and lately of New Orleans.
His ample voice and faultless art
showed marveleusly in the arias from
Carmen and Lakme.
Mr.. Auguste Perisse, a tenor new to
us at least, possesses a delightful
voice to which he adds impeccable
diction and correct perception of emo
tional values.
Now what shall we say of Blanche
Arral Artist by race, artist by BIRTH
and altogether a songstress of eXquis-
tie talent. Her voice is warm and
supple which holds her hearers en-
raptured.
And Grantwood, twice blest, will
have after Easter what will be essen
TALLY repetition of the same enter
tainment-with the same artists and
evidently the same success.
