Sugar-Shy S w eets
/ ' ’’ H ILD R E N play a delightful role
In the fashion picture. They ore
dreased so cunningly these days It
would seem as If they had stepped
right out from the colorfully Illus­
trated pages of a story book. De­
signers who create such adorable
clothes surely have a talent all their
own.
It la Interesting to note the mate­
rials these designers favor most in
fitting out litUe folks with pretty and
practical clothes. If a vote were
taken there is every reason to be­
lieve that corduroy would score first
In favor with velveteen a close sec­
ond. Corduroy has a way of being
sturdy and utilitarian with prac­
tically "no wear out about it" at
the same time that it makes up
beautifully In dressy little frocks
and coats When it comes to hard
wear, corduroy meets every test
unfailingly, and when it comes to
fashioning pretty-pretty dresses this
winter, it la proving a fabric ideal.
The prestige of this practical as
well as most attractive material
has been greatly enhanced during
the last several seasons with the
introduction of an especially fine pin
wale corduory called cordurella,
which is voguish both for chil­
dren and grownups. You can see,
centered above In the illustration,
how prettily cordurella makes up
into a cunning bolero suit with hat
to match. It was a clever move on
the part of the designer who took
mother's and big sister's favorite
fashion, the bolero suit, and copied it
in miniature for little daughter. The
tiny jacket ties at the neck and has
a beanie to match. The ensemble
is trimmed in gay peasant flowers to
the delight of the youngster that
wears It.
Whimsies for Tots
Made of Bright Felt
Another type of dress that should
be In every little girl's wardrobe is
the jumper. Youngsters love to wear
their pretty Jumper frocks of bright
cordurella, and mothers like this
j fabric because it can be easily
washed over and over again, com­
ing out as smart-looking as ever.
With a change of blouse each day it
gives variety, to the delight of the
little wearer. Then too, it solves the
what-to-wear to school and at-play
problem so easily and simply.
Ice cream maker a party for most
every little Miss, and so does a cun­
ning red velveteen dress, as pic­
tured to the left. Especially does It
look "partyfled" when trimmed with
dainty Irish-type lace, as you see
here. The nice thing about cotton
velveteen is that while It is practi­
cal and comparatively Inexpensive,
it tunes perfectly to Sunday-best
wear and to all sorts of important
occasions In a child's life. Soft string
bows,
sweetheart neckline and
puffed sleeves such as prettify this
dress, are gay little details wee
young ladies like.
A cotton oxford cloth jumper dress
Is shown to the right. It is gaily
trimmed in narrow bright embroi­
dered banding which outlines the bib
effect and gives an extra fillip to
the graceful simulated pinafore that
is sewed in as a part of the dress.
Cotton oxford cloth is attractive in
any color, but in navy or wine,
trimmed with gay embroidery it
looks more than an ordinary wash
dress. You can easily get inch-wide
Mexican - embroidered band trim ­
ming which adds just the right dash
of color to the dress pictured, at
lace or dress-trim counters. Since
peasant fashions are so popular, this
type of trim is appearing on both
dresses and sheer Mexican * type
blouses for youngsters.
The young fry just love the new
checked taffeta that is being made
up into sprightly little dresses.
They also like the gay plaid taffetas,
for the rustle of taffeta is music to
the ears of a little girl who likes
to feel dressed up.

Bustle-Back Drape
Of course you can buy these little
whimsies in way of bonnets and bo­
leros and cunning suspenders and
bags done in the quaint Tyrolean
way that make little children look
like fairy-tale characters, but it's
fun making them, too.
M aterial needed for these pictur­
esque items are a remnant or so of
felt in the basic colors, red, brown,
green, navy or French blue. Felt
by the yard can usually be found In
any upholstery department Then
lay in a supply of cutout felt flowers
and amusing motifs which are easily
available in various sections, either
among the dress trimmings or some­
times at the pattern counter.
You will also need a skein or so of
wool yarn to finish off the edges of
the little garments with crochet or
buttonholing. There are patterns to
be had of wee sleeveless boleros,
suspenders to attach to little skirts,
for bonnets of every type and bags
tiny or large to carry to kindergar­
ten or school. Older little girls like
these bright fancies as well as tots.
For a long time the jumper dress
worn with different blouses was re­
garded as a fashion tor the slim
and youthful figure. The dress Is so
practical with the change of blouses
it affords, designers decided to turn
it out in colors and cuts that would
flatter the larger-sized woman. A
deftly designed jumper in dark
green, navy or brown gabardine
with well built-up under-arm treat­
ment and a slenderizing deep V*
neckline is available in the better
stores in the larger sizes.
Have all ingredients at room tem­
perature. Measure out flour, sugar,
salt and butter in bowl. Beat for 2
minutes. Add eggs and milk and
beat for another two minutes. Take
out one-third of batter and mix with
molasses and allspice. Drop by
spoonfuls into greased loaf pan, al­
ternating light and dark mixture.
Bake in a moderate oven for 1 hour.
Serve plain or frosted.
The rustle of taffeta is in the air.
This sprightly rayon taffeta that is
making such a splurge in the fabric
realm is as fashionable in plaids
and stripes as can be, and it is Just
as smart in plain colors. The bustle
evening gown pictured is of taffeta
in a lovely cerise shade. The eve­
ning formats made up with the huge
bustle bows with corresponding
bows at the shoulder give a new sil­
houette which is growing in favor
right along. I t ’s part of the revival
of Victorian modes.
