THE moit Interesting Juvenile
fashions have been devised for
the coming wuod, Interesting
because they show the influence
of the princess and empire styles com
bined in mothers' (owns brought down
In smaller and looser style for the little
daughters. Even the sailor suit so uni
versally worn by youngsters has been
adaptod to empire lines. The dress fast
ned to the sailor yoke Is side-pleated
and hangs straight from the shoulder,
with the waist line only indicated by a
large belt of the material.
Another Innovation is the fastening
down the back from neck to hem. so
that when washday comes the little
dress may bo laid flat on the Ironing
table, thus preventing any tears and
trains in making it fit the skirt board.
This change la owing to the straight
box pleat down the front, which is so
becoming to tiny figures, while the
pleats on each side show the influence
of the Japanese and give breadth to the
shoulders and chest.
Fascinating though startling plaids
are made up for all slues of children,
but they are somewhat modified by cuds
and belts of plain material and gulmpes
of the same or white.
A quite new little dress is made double-breasted
and fastened down the
front, thus leaving only the large pearl
buttons for the mmmlng. A military
collar finishes the neck, and the waist
Is held in only by tucks tightly stitched.
It is so smart and such a change from
the complicated dresses of a few years

The bordure effects as shown on lawn
and other eaU materials for the older
members of the family are employed on
hem. belt, cuffs and Dutch collar for
little girls between the ages of ( and 10.
These lawns are very satisfactory, for
any finer decoration, lace or embroidery.
Is absolutely unnecessary' The dresses
are Just right as they are.
Some little plaids are made quite plain
with only a band of solid color placed
at one aide of the front, or two bands
Introduced among the box pleats to re
lieve the simplicity of the diminutive
costume. Others are trimmed with bias
bands of plaid or stripes, while Russian
blouses for little boys are made up In
"solid shades or white, with only four
little straps of some bright Scotch plaid
to hold the belt straight and trim.
It is wonderful how much a combina
tion of color will do toward the making
of a dress, but it in still more wonderful
to think that until this year the idea
has never been extensively employed.
Arrangements of color in sumptuous
materials have been admired for BOO
years, but never have stripes, plaids and
dots been combined In the making up
of such bumble materials as during the
present season. It is the opportunity of
a lifetime for the woman of taste to
have the most beautiful costumes, and.
when such charming dresses may be
made so easily and at so little expense
for the children, the mother of today 1
lucky, Indeed.
Hair BoVvs for Jaunty
Youngsters
IN the lovely new designs in ribbons
with which the weavers have pre
sented the public this year the little
maidens have not been forgotten. A
set of ribbons four yards for sash and
three or four hair ribbons in narrower
design to match Is put up in a dainty
box ready for the summer wardrobe
or Easter party.
Those with Dresden designs are per
haps the DrettlesL although blues and
dainty pinks as ever hold their own, as
do the dark reds and some plaids.

Modified Russian Blouses
ATTRACTIVE blouses for children
of t years are made of heavy linen
on the same pattern as the peasant
mock, fastened on the left shoulder
by Ave pearl buttons. They slip over .
the head and are easy to wash, while
the simplicity of the band around the
neck and down the side needs no or
nament of lace or Insertion. They are
also very easy to make, because there
is no tucking to be done, as they are
merely gathered around the neck and
cut in slightly under the arms to
make thvm have some semblance of
fitting. On the whole, they ate a
great Improvement on the old-fashioned
sailor suits, and are far more
satisfactory because they have no re
vere or no embroidery In the front or
on the sleeve. Besides that, the regu
lation sailor suits were never quite
appropriate for little girls, and these
- modifications are decidedly the most
attractive things that they can wear,
and are therefore not likely to go out
of style in a very near future.
Plain Dress for Little Girls
EVERY mother of a small girl
welcomes a new suggestion for
clothing. Of course, it is a
pleasure when dainty garments can
be made at home, and loving Angers
are always ready for little frocks that
show off to best advantage, bat for
everyday wear it is sometimes hard
to find dresses that are at the 'gam
time useful and becoming.
One little girl seen the other day
was dressed for school in a dark bin
percale or gala tea two-piece suit.
The outer part was made in on piece,
the sleeves cut with the body and a
square place cut for the head to slip
through. This was worn with a whit -gulmpe,
that could be changed when
little elbows had rubbed too often
against desk or blackboard. The) other
and most sensible part of this cos
tume was a pair of full bloomers,
made of the same material and en
tirely concealed by the skirt of tho
little dress. Arrayed In this she was
ready for all occasions, playing
"goosle" In the school playground or
sliding down the neighbor's cellar
door, for there wre no buttons to be
pulled off nor raffles to be torn, - ,

for all sorts of embroidery.
Whatever the warm weather may
'bring forth in the way of diaphanous
dresses, certain it is that suits and
"simple" linen dresses will be not only
embroidered, but trimmed with lace,
filet net nd braid,
One of the most wonderful of the
many models Is of whits linen, the skirt
trimmed with m broad band of filet net,
which la covered with the finest braid
work, while the whole coat Is made of
filet and thickly braided to match the

For some years the average woman
has quite neglected the subject of a sum
mer wrap, and if she had one at all It
was some loose arrangement of pongee
or flannel, but this year tbe beautiful -evening
wraps shown seem to indicate
tbac jallaay has corns ts hat senses and -
that the summer wraps must bo . In
keeping with the rest of the costume.
These coats are mostly of silk of some
soft variety, surah, chiffon, taffeta or a
dull satin, and they are all elaborately
trimmed with lace. One ooat of whits -,
surah has a ruffle about one-half a yard
dep, trimmed with some sort of ap
plique that closely resembles Carrick
in across.
