SIMPLE FROCKS FOR GIRLS

Trimmings and Decorations, by No Means Elaborate, Will Accomplish Wonders. Many of the simple frocks for girls are made smart by the addition of flat, stiff bows, small or large, but usually the latter, placed at all sorts of unexpected places—upon a flounce, at a single pocket, or low cm the skirt, near the hem, says a writeh Such bows may form the sole r trimming of a hat. One may be pressed against an upturned brim, which it appears in turn to press against the crown, or it may be set on or against the crown itself. There is a fancy which later in the year will be more generally seen for trimming the front of the seamless blouse with a large loose velvet or vel-vet-finished silk bow. Slits are made in the waist a few inches below the neck on each side of the center line, which slits are finished with a regular binding; or they are buttonholed or soutached. From the under side wide ribbon is drawn through these slits, and the bow is tied so as to hang exactly in the center of the waist. It very pleasantly varies the scant effect of many of these waists. These bows are seen with equal frequency upon stiff linen and upon transparent muslin frocks.
