Dimity has always been an ideal
fabric for children's dresses and many
little frocks Of dimity are shown this
season. A crosSbar effect red and
white dimity Is very fresh and crisp
with narrow ruffies and sash of red
taffeta ribbon. A white dimity has
little ruffles with picot edging, a cum
ming square neck and short, pulled
sleeves. All these little frocks are
very smart; they have an individuality
and character quite different from the
sameness of little girls dresses a dozen
years ago when models were all pre-
cisely alike and only sashes in different
colors gave an individual note.
Linen Ideal For Little People
Linen is the smartest possible ma
terial for women's frocks this summer
and, of course. plenty of it is used for
children, also. Linen is really ideal
for children in summer. There is a
freshness about 1t when just from the
laundry that suits the lovely freshness
of childhood; and it is such a sturdy
fabric too, and while cool and pleasant

active child plays about in it. Very
small girls are wearing the grown-up
sport-skirt-and-w waist effect (Which
much delights their hearts,. The lit
tie skirt is OF pleated linen, with a
straight belt of the material and the
waist Is of handkerchief linen, hand
tucked and with the childish eton col
lar and elbow sleeves. And, of course,
saucy little cravat bow at the neck.
A little costume of the sort has a
pleated skirt of brown and white cross
barred linen and a waist of white
handkerchief linen with brown wool
buttonholing on collar and turned
back cuffs, and a neckbow Of brown
ribbon. With this play costume is
worn a brown straw roll brim sailor
and brown and white socks with brown
leather sandals. A neat play frock
for a girl of seven has long waist,
low belt and short skirt made of two
scalloped fiounces. The material is
blue linen, the scalloped skirt flounces
piped with the same material and the
belt of black patent leather. A little
blue and black embroidery ornaments
the plain, round neckline and the edge
of the elbow sleeve.
Two cunning linen play costumes
are pictured, one of them showing the
very short skirt and pantalet effect
now fancied for the littlest girls-a
very sensible idea for a play costume.
