She looks and feels much nappic. In the softer, more ruffly styles, while another little girl who has been gifted with dimpling smile and curl ing locks can wear a sailor suit and look perfeitly charming in it. As a wide range of materials and models are invented for the babies these days as are offered for the children ready for school. Whether tre darling child is still being carried, or has arrived at the crawling age, so hard on mother's patience, there are appropriate and lovely clothes awaiting In the shops. Two cunning dainty coat at tracted special attention. Each had its charming little hat or bonnet to fatch. One was In pale pink crepe de chine, the other in white, ihe one wore a deep embroidered cape the pink, an embroidered yoke. Such an adorable pink hat, too. It waa made with a high crown af silk braid, and had a band of soft curling pink ostrich aboot the brim. Wide pink sashes would tie this lovely little thing about baoy's cnm. r or the whate coat there I was an embroidered bonnet of crepe de chine with a frill of Irish crochet lace over the top. To the tot who is navigating by means of the frog system in other words, crawling there are many styles of rompers from which to choose. A practical little affair was a combination of smock and bloomers, both of black sateen with the edges bound with laven der and stitched with black. It sounds rather dark, but then tha little one could scrub around on the floor, to its heart's content and look as well at the end of the day as at the beginning. There are of course rompers In every comnia tion of cotton crepes, chambrays and ginghams that one could pos sibly wish. Among the new little school dresses for daughter are some in teresting and smart designs. Two of these had each a plain round neckline into which the dreas was gathered, with plain little kimona sleeves. One in yellow, was bound at neck and cuffs with brown. A plain wide binding of brown start d under each arm. and went straight to the hem. At right an gles to this was embroidery of yel low and black, with tassels of black a tthe end. The other lit tle dress had a deep hem of pink cnambray set on the wnite dress In squares. A girdle of old blue yarn tied In front. Besides the bil.ding at neck and cuffs of pink, there lwo oits of embroidery in Pink and blue yarn. tew coats for vnimm pecially attractive n,i, ki. - ..... . .,.njs uavo such cunning ways of slipping In and out of bound buttonhole in ...i unexpected places. Iaille is most popular as a material while others are made of ribbed moire, crepe de chine, satin and taffeta. The loveliest little hats are worn with the coats, matching In color. Straw brims and fabric crowns are the rule with embroid ery in yarns or fluted ribbona rjerore it be forgotton, let us mention a ounnine- !, or blue chambray. This quaint Htx garment Is pleated front and back into a mer K-j fully and completely covered with i.

In organdies there is no doubt that the fairy like qualities of youth. s delicacy and charm, finds its most aatnty expression. And as if to ac centuate these qualities, the mod els of the organdie frock are H Rlon, All sorts of conceits are worked out whereby to add to the, translucent film of matertal. One fragile white affair has flowers of colored organdie appllqued about It with buttonholed edges. Anoth er white dress with its ruffles gathered over each hip. with sash es to tie them in, looks as cool aau tempting as a dish of pineapple; ice. As if to emphasize the cool whiteness it wears a row of organ die flowers in paster shades .. the yoke. Another cunning white frock was entirely sashed with del icate flowers. A very clever little French dress combined brown checked gingham with white organdie. The gingham Our trim looking modern men with their short skirts have need to look to their footwear these days when It is so very much In evidence. Whether a costume demands a smartiy tailored effect or a more dressy type, there are shoes In abundance from which to choose. We are led to infer that low cut shoes are "in" in fact you almost would have to argue with a man to get him to sell you high boots. And there is a perfectly facsinatlng array of bestrapped and laced and mannish shoe styles. And a special made a little round apron with tabs up the front on the frock, and boasted tiny pockets of white. The cuffs of the little puff sleeves were gingham, and also the little neck line. A sash of the white crossed the tabls in front and tied Itself in a gay little bow In trie back. "To each occasion. Its own little, frock," seems to be the motto for the youngsters of today. And for this purpose each sweat child will find some appropriate garment In today's presentation of spring styles department for sports, and still another where spats have It all their own way. And a little later in the season, good old white shoes will come into their own. Styles In straps are full of in teresting novelties. Some of them button, some of them buckle. A pretty oxford in tan calf shows a two strap effect high on the In step, each strap with its smart lit tle buckle. Another low shoe has a double strap which fastens with a single button. Still another has two straps laced through a cross strap, much as sandals are laced. Bach of these buttons Into place. All of these comfortable, sensible boots have reasonable heels Louis XV, Cuban and Military, making an Instant appeal to the woman who enjoys walking. Let us presume she la wearing a well tailored, slightly mannish suit. She would naturally choose for this either a Blucher oxford with its perforated wing tip, or a tailor made pump. Now let us consider miladi's boots for dress occasions. There are so many from which to choose. One clover slipper is built of black satin or oose calf, with a nobby Utile tongue fitting over the instep with a neat little strap sliding un der so as to hold the tongue smooth ly in place. Another slipper has an anklette that buttons and a strap that buttons. Three little rut outs grace the triangle of ooae calf (on black kid) where the instep strap buttons. Another dressy little boot is possessed of four closely fitting straps over the instep. These are made possible because of the Inset of elastic on either side. There are smart novelties In slippers In New Tork, offered to the well dressed woman, for eve ning wear. One Is a black velvet pump with a green velvet covered Louis heel, and a large flaring green velvet tongue with the clev erest possible rhinestone buckle. Another pretty conceit Is a grey and blue suede. This slipper has two straps over the Instep and one over the ankle. Bach strap has a snappy little cut out, all Its own. Still another dainty stylo Is la stack satin with a black kid dia mond tip and a small collar of the same material, its single strap is bound with the kid making a pop ular little shoe. A word or two about spats. Fsnn and beaver are the favorite colors. It Is essential that a spat should fit beautifully. There are again seen the "boot top" styles, In a new color called plume grey. A pair of frogs at the top are highly con sidered for a neat finish to an otherwise severely simple affair that the spat should always be. One mustn't forget colors in shoe styles. "Colors" are "In'. Gray and brown suedes will be very pop alar. Tan calf and brown md are also good. There are new and ln triguelng shades of Russian leath er. With grey stockings to maicn. gray shoes especially will be seen very often this season, and in all sorts of styles of footwear. And as for colors, sport shoe are indeed resplendent in color this year. Many sports costumes, especially the tailored effects will need shoes of exactly the right style to complete their smartness. The tip is usually of the dark leather as It should be to protect the white leather, and then there are all sorts of Interesting arrange ments on the rest of the oxford, tha dark leather is usually perfo rated, and is used to cover the heel. Once In a while one sees a smart model that has an all white) toe, while the darker leather forms a saddle strap, continuing to tha heel, white low cut shoes win ap pear In time for the summer sea son with plain oxfords, plain ton sue snd pump effects In both can vas and buck. writ w ii fuller, wouldn't' yotl anticipate more fullness In rtfrts and sleeves?
