Show PRINT FROCK CALLS FOR CAPE COAT MOTHERS; you will soon, if you have not already, be hearing hear-ing little daughter clamoring for a printed challis frock. Also be prepared pre-pared to have these style-conscious youngsters follow up the challis request re-quest with a demand for a coat with a cape, for ' all the girls are wearing them." There is no doubt about the attractive at-tractive costume in the picture meeting with parental approval at first glance. Over a one-piece frock of printed zephyr wool challis which has red figures on a creamy background the . dainty miss is shown wearing a coat of plain red flannel. A more ideal combination for early spring wear it would be difficult to find anywhere on fash-Ion's fash-Ion's program. Of course if navy Is preferred instead in-stead of red for the coat, all well IS and good, for than navy flannel or serge for little girls' wraps there is nothing smarter this season. Several Sev-eral other blues for coats are ever so chic, too, especially pirate blue, and for dressy occasions, both blues and pinks in dusty pastel tones are quite the thing this season. And there's the new light greens, they surely must be mentioned, for special spe-cial emphasis Is being placed on coats of soft green tweeds and greenish-toned covert. The appearance of quaint all-wool challis among the season's most fashionable fabrics is hailed with delight by youth and adult. This revival of challis came about because be-cause of the enthusiasm expressed in style circles for light weight woolens of every description. Now that challis is again in vogue, it Is acclaimed not only for simple daytime day-time dresses for children and grownups alike, but it is being made into three-piece ensembles, using plain for the coat and figured fig-ured for the one-piece dress or skirt and blouse, as the case may be. The separate blouse made of challis to wear with the tailored tweeds or covert suit is also very smart, and this applies to what's what for little lit-tle folks as well as their elders.
