Show LITTLE GIRLS WON'T STAND FOR ' MADE-OVER DRESSES, WANT LATEST New York, April 12. They're little, lit-tle, but Oh my! For frocks and frills the tiny Jills mount up as enormous bills as the big gals. No longer are little sisters con. tent with dresses made over out of big sister's or mother's castoffs. Nowadays, with all the sophistication sophistica-tion of a full grown follower of vogue, the wee ones insist on the latest Spring lines and silhouettes l in the replenishment of their ward-I ward-I robes Like the elders, the children's chil-dren's styles smack of period dressing: dress-ing: Louis Seize, Directoire, 1SG0, 1S30 and also Louis Quinze. Of course, all their skirts are as full and wide as their mother's and but a modicum shorter. Cunning little peasant frocks with pointed bodices of laced black velvet over short sleeved, frilly1 blouses of white batiste, and lit-1 tie full flowered skirts of challie or I crepe are quaintly charming and also childish. Many indeed are the little models shown with separate waists and skirts, some with pep-lums pep-lums and others with little suspender suspen-der effects to match the skirt material. ma-terial. Dear indeed to the hearts of little lit-tle girlhood are these miniature separate skirt and blouse affairs just like a real grownup lady's. One of the suspender models comes with a skirt of striped green and white linen, a veritable little shirtwaist of white batiste, its" turnover collar and cuffs fin- ished with a frilling picot edged in green. A wide, bandlike bell of plain green linen, embroidered in a fine white material, has two suspender straps going one over each shoulder, shoul-der, the square ends or which pro-trude pro-trude below thebelt line in little tab effects, like a peplum. This model also comes in rose and white and blue and white. As for coats, they are all narrow across the shoulders and flare modishly toward to-ward the finish. Silk peplum or gabardine are the smartest materials, always, ofi course including faille. Some of them show touches of smocking, insets in-sets below the high waist line of blocks and plaits or tucks, and some are frogged smartly in gold or silver braid Yet others rely on a collar of real lace, a jeweled button but-ton or two or just the luster of the material add chic. Hats run mostly to inverted bowl effects of leghorn and Milan braid or to quaint little bonnets. Picot edged ribbons are used lavishly as trimming, as are button roses and the gay cherries so beloved of the grownups just now. Little feet shod in high, white kid topped patent pat-ent leathers and white silk stockings stock-ings show dazzingly below the full short skirts Just like mother's. Indeed, these little feet follow in mother's footsteps often more sar-torially sar-torially than fittingly. |
