Although children are dressed almost
as simply as their mothers these days,
there is always a possibility OF enlivCn-
ing the juvenile model by sope little
touch of color or trimming Today, for
example. we find a frock for the girl Of
from six to ten following formula
widely observed this summer. However,
the familiar model is made arresting by
several new touches. One Of these is
the single motif of green and yellow
embroidery which appears on a waist OF
white silk jersey topping a plated skirt
of the same material In jade green. The
turnback cuff of the bodice is also
novel. As for the sleeves, those de-
signed for children are quite as negli-
gent In their behavior as those de-
signed for grown-ups.
