' ' i Ik ;calf As mothers become busier, or less In-ol In-ol dined to spend time in sewing, in or-H1'- der to give it to other affairs, they oo have learned to look to the specialist ;. to help thorn out with frocks and other ijrf; clothes for children. And manufac-t,'' manufac-t,'' turers have met the growing demand for ready-made or partly-made clothes, by turning out examples of pood de-it' de-it' signing, in practical materials, that the most gifted amateur cannot hope us!"" to excel. Even those mothers who prefer to have the children's clothes ,lj', made at home, look to the display of io;l,: children's frocks made in the shops for models to guide them. Wraps they nearly always buy ready made. Since the school girl must be out-1!0:' out-1!0:' fitted by the time September appears over time's horizon, dresses and wraps for her make their entry In July. j,J These forerunners of fall styles this f year show that the neat effects that were featured in spring have come to stay a while, all because they wore so heartily welcomed. They ej)t'. mark an advance in taste and are use-jtk use-jtk ful In educating the little girls them-S(lves them-S(lves to like neatness.

It will be noticed that it Is longer than the dress (which h knee length) In the cape portion, and that the shorter coat is belted across the front. There are very practical set-in pockets on each side. The frock of cotton poplin at the right might be made of chambray, gingham, or other sturdy cotton goods, or in plain wools. It is a pretty design de-sign with bodice simulating a jacket and a plaited skirt. Small buttons and ft childish collar, set off by very simple embroidered sprays, that are repeated on the bottom of the jacket, reveal the ideas of a designer who has no superiors. They are the signatur of trained talent. |
