I WHEN we look over the ad- Ivanced styles in children's .clothes, we are improved with the fact that the proptr kc.r xaote of simplicity has been sounded. - That the first requisite of chil . dren's clothes is simplicity both in cut and make is no more true this season than . ever before, but tlx? fact has often been ignored by the cripinstors . ,of these diminutire models, and the result haa been the cTerdreed child, than which noth ing is truly more ridiculous and, at the same time, pathetic The handling of the inbject this Kitflo, Lowrrrr, has been truly r:terftl.

The present . all-rreTsilifij' fashion idea is one difficult of adaptation to miniature models, but designers hare shown great discrim ination in extracting the points which will best lend themselves to juvenile styles. The short waist of the emjjire is seen in some models this for he younger children, for dressy frocks and best coats. The circular skirt is borrowed and princess and semi prince effects are in evidence the panel front figuring noticeably. Hevers are used upon some of the coats, and buttons, both large and small, are responsible for much of the trimming.

The sbepherd'l check, which peri-- odicslly claims favor, is in the as cendency at the moment a natural reaction after a surfeit of stripes. It appeara in black and while as the merest touch upon a little frock of blue panama. Narrow red soutache is employed for outlining and a tio of black satin completes an attract ive little school frock. A darling little model in navy blue serge has. epaulettes of red cloth with edges scalloped in black.

There are fine twilled, serges, soft cheviots, the shepherd's check in familiar colorings; there are wool- erii striped injblack and white, and "gray grounds over-barred by narsow lines of black an inch apart.

' Fo the wee boy of 2 years the proper garb is a smock or Russian blouse with . bloomers to match. Both garments must be so abbrevi- tted, in order to fit the mere baby, that'only glimpse of the bloomers beneath the smock is visible.' This style of suit grows in ajze as does the small man until he reaches tbe age of 5 or 6. Tbe suit then has at- dined its growth, but the boy con or knee trousers, with the accom- panying Eton collar and Windsor tie or the turned-down foliar and four-in-hand. But this style is too old for the child of tender years; in fact, it is the conventional suit for boys until assume mans dress. There -is no style which may be so successfully worn during the in- termodiate state as the sailor suit. This may be ot the "regulation" type (which weses and wanes in popularity, but never goes entirely out of style) or one of its many vari ations.
