WlNsOME DRESSES FOR GIRLS
Taffeta Silk, Embroidered in Chenille or Metal Thread, Affords Frock
 That Is Admired.

Many dresses for girls are made of taffeta silk, which are usually em- broidered in chenille or metal thread. The bodices are made in the fitted basque style and worn with full cir cular skirts. One navy blue taffeta dress is bordered with deep design embroidered in antique gold thread and a carpet embroidery of French blue silk.
 In another case the full skirt of a dress is suggested by a series of over tapping narrow circular fiounces, the youthful effect of which is increased by an edging of tiny red cord.
 The skirt of a black taffeta frOck of unusual interest is entirely covered with narrow strips of the silk picoted in bright color looped up in puff de signs at intervals down the length of the skirt. The sleeve finish carries out this effect, as 1t is slashed into narrow strips that are caught under to make a puff.
 A redingote black taffeta dress has a full tunic and semi-itted bodice with a corded, unbelted Waistline in a dis tinct downward curve at the back The open front discloses an under dress of deep ecru lace with parts of the design worked in pink.

SHORT SILK COATS, NOVELTY
Light Weight Outer Garment Fash toned Either in Tuxedo or Brief
 Boxy Fashion.

Short silk coats lined with char mouse and fashioned either in tuxedo or brief boxy fashion are a novelty.
 These coats belong in the category of bodices rather than of wraps, al though they are worn over delicate blouses. Rarely, however, is the coat removed.
 The sleeves may be set-in raglan or kimono, according to the fabric en- ployed and the length of the coat.
 One pretty model is of bright blue Canton crepe. The coat just clears the top of the hip and is cut in fiaring box shape. It has the high color characteristic Of these modes, is lined with apricot charmeuse with the lin ing brought over as the outside facing instead of having the coat fabric turn ed in as the inner facing, and effect ing a piping of the apricot against the blue.
 A straight skirt of white viyella flannel with three-inch hem falling to within nine inches of the ground. and a blouse of heavy white crepe de chine on simple tailored lines with tnchwide streamers of jade green vel vet pendant from the base of the rath- CT high V-neck complete this typical costume scheme.
 The hat shown with this model was a short-backed poke in a rough braid of jade and bright blue, trimmed only with a sash of apricot ribbon that was tied in a huge f1oppy bow on one side.
 A similar costume for more mature women-though maturity is dabbling recklessly this season into all color schemes that fashions palette affords had a tuxedo coat of tete de negre taffeta lined in silver gray charmeuse. The skirt was a side-plaited model of pearl-gray cashmere with three-inch wide rows of tete de negre silk braid running vertically from the waist to hem down the front breadth on either side of the narrow side plaits that gave ample room for the wearer's sub stantial figure.
