colored linens are the choice for the
boy. But frocks continue straightline
n bloomer style for afternoon. and
the party frocks are d~aintily ruffied
n hand made.
Hand embroideries and all kinds of
fine hand work are in high favor,
especially cross stitchery. French
knots. shocking and hemstitching.
There are clever little touches of rib
bon on many of the dress-up frocks,
and medallions Of frilled or shlrred
ribbons are popular. Button holing
makes a most effective trimming, and
hand made fiowers-of chiffon or rib
bon-set off the daintier party ap-
parel. Some few little frocks have
tiny skirts attached to a very long
blouse-Russian fashion-and smock-
ing and embroidery are the logical
decorations of these models.
Original And Clever Little Models
There need be no similarity in the
clothes that appear at the party, OF
an afternoon, for so original are the
ideas of the many designers of he
mode that wide variety results. While
one wee Miss is at her best in a
champagne colored wolfe, sleeveless
and bright with crocheted motifs in
gay c%olors, her rival for first honor
with fashion may choose to trust her
success TO a bloomer frock of black
taffeta, pointed as to It's hem and
sleeve edge, the points embroidered in
woods that are positively barbaric in
their c~oloring.
The demure little person NAV
choose a frock Of white wolfe, dotted
In pink, with wee ruf1es Of lace for
its trimming: the fluffy type may be
rufled from neck to hem, organdy
on a plain foundation; and the prac-
tieal minded little party, who knows
h games will do to a frock, may
prefer the crisp daintiness of hand
kerchief linen, hand fagotted, hem
stitched or shocked.
The place that handwork holds in
the youthful mode is very apparent in
the pictured models Of frocks-both
practical playtime and dress-up STYLES.
The little asplrant to tennis honors
displays good judgment in her choice
Of a dress, since she must have had
usefulness in mind. It is a plainly
styled model, but. like many that such
a description will fit, II is smart. and
the white Of the cuffs, collar and
piping, matches the shocking. or per-
haps it Is the other way round.
Simplicity Apparent Everywhere
Shocking again provides the trim
ming for an attractive little dress. but
It enllsts the aid of another material
for cuff and collar treatment, and
buttons and edging-one aspects it is
tatting-make the model a little less
the tailored type. One questions
which is the more perfect-the flower

are shown in the picture where Big
Sister gives rapt attention to Small
Brother, and the ~littlest frock shows
a clever use of two materials, the one
a pin head check, shocked rather
than shlrred onto the yoke. A line of
French knots carries out the color
scheme and outlines the irregular line
Of the Joining. Big Sister must have
been on her way to a party. for her
frock is crepe de chine with bright
embroideries, the collar and cuffs out
lined In chain stitchery in the same
bright shades.
Sheer nainsook, aided and abetted
by iIet. make the winsome summer
own that Miss Curly Head carelessly
exposes to possible grass stains. 1t is
the utmost in simplicity. yet who will
deny that It is the utmost in beauty,
as well? And last of all. there's the
smiling %youngster In the romper suit,
pleased as much at the cleverness of
bright cross stitch embroidery on
white linen as delighted with the
prospect of play.
