Few frocks for wco girls' this season havo sleeves to the wrist. French Flannel For Cool Mornings The fine, striped flannels are ilked for morning dresses to be worn at tho mountains or tho seashore during August and September. Such a cos- tumc does not require a sweater or 1 Jacket over it, as a gingham or cham-n cham-n bray frock docs.

Of course, the daintier patterns aro selected se-lected for small girlhood and the floral effects seem to havo most favor. A very pretty frock for a girl of seven is of bluo and white plaid voilo with bands of whlto vollo hemstitched in bluo on the skirt, simulating tucks.

Large collar and elbow cuffs are of whlto organdy, scalloped and trimmed with organdy frilling. A neck bow and streaming cuds of narrow nar-row black velvet add telling smartness to the pink and whlto frock. An cxamplo of how delightful a voilo frock can bo for childhood is shown in tho quaint, short-walsted costumo accompanied by a poko bon-not bon-not of shirred organdy, and by frilly organdy pantalets. Such a plcturosquo costumo is surely only for a little maid with curls. The curls fit ttyo old-tlmoyncss of tho plcturo and carry out tho quaint suggestion of tho pan-talota pan-talota and poke bonnot as a modern bobbed colffuro of childhood would never do. Ankle-strap slippers give tho proper effect with this costume and the llttlo maid carrlos an appropriate appro-priate nosegay bunched together in n frill of lace paper, Tho voilo frock 7? ' hm?
