 (DY JULIA BLANsHARD)
 New York, June 1--Frocking little Miss Fjye-to-Ten is about as pleas ant a duty this summer as Mother could ask.
 For one thing. materials are eX- ouisitely fresh and youthful looking. If Mother is handy with the needle she will find it simple task 10 make Jane and Judy the cutest kind of clothes at small cost. There is unlimited variety 10 styles and materials, in fact. But if Mother has a philosophy ot clothes for her wee daughters she will stick to the famous rule Of an established French house that spe- i calizes in children's wear, "A child's clothes should be smart, simple. an deasy to loun- ! der"
 1 For Parties and Play
 Tho washable materials Mother will find when she shops for her girls are multfold. Organdie, dot ted swisses, washable chiffons and voiles Handkerchief linens aud inn ported batistis take care Of parties. For daytime wear there are new printed piques that are sturdy. linens. crepes, shantung and other rougher silks, hand blocked i'm ported materials of strong body. jersey and many mixtures Of silk and wool and less expensive rayons and wools or cottons.
 For the first time this summer, the ensembles the thing for daugh- ter as well as Mother. Moreover. young girls modes affirm many of the charming style notes Of Mothers clothes.
 Soft ColOrs. Small Prints
 But. while Mothers costumes may be subtle, dangerously subtle in their effect of naivete. little Miss Five -to-Ten should wear nothing that is not directly simple and charming, like the little Miss her self. Prints should be small, colors clear but soft.
 There are the long coated en- sembles, with frocks, either sleeve less or with short or long sleeves underneath. And there are the pleated skirts. jumper and cardigan ensembles, the neatest, simplest type of frock appearing for children In a long time.
 For either. it is better style this year to have the coloring and print of the material decorate the en- semble than 10 have elaborate trimming. The reverse is true oi party frocks. Here Mother ma> ply her needle as hard as she " ,Il making fine flowers in good color doing faggotting, hand hemstitchine and what not.
 Often in the ensemble. hat ac, companies the frock and coat. One especially cute outfit for the blonde little girl uses figured wover rayon. red and pink posies witt green dots on a white background for a coat and hat and plain white material for the frocil that has { pleatcd skirt. cute geometricall, cut yoke bound in the coats color: and a belt of the same colors Mother can make the hat as wei as the coat. Or just put fignrec crown on a plain brm.
 For q travel costume or for hart wear of any kind. the cardigan suit is ideal. One especially swec on a child with dark hair and eye' is fashioned of a rayon jersey in 2 delectable green.
 Jumpers Lend Variety
 The skirt has two inverted kicl pleats and is attached to a top o plain material. The jumper 1 striped in graduated lines running from very narrow to quite wid and from white and very light greel through to . deep. rich. green Other jumpers caE quite change tn character of the outfit. The cardi gan is plain.
 With this type Of serviccable out nt, Mother might do we'll to pick colla psible straw hat. perhaps in light green tone. Sox might b
 
 green striped also.
 Juvenile costumes are keepin pace with Mothers in quite an other>way too. Dnfferent sports ar calling for different frocks.
 When She Rides
 As bicycling is recognized sum mer sport nowadays, there are som cute outfits appearing that are goo for this because they have no st, perf'uous frills or sashes to ge mixed up in the wheels and becaus they are quite the smart little frock for little Miss Five-to-Ten to appea in when she bicycles up to tn Country Club or some other swank porch.
