FOR CHILD’S WEAR IN SPRING

Dress of White Dimity Is About the Most Dainty That Can Possibly Be Devised. Tige and 1 are sweethearts—all that troubles me is that his old brown coat never gets too old to wear, so I can’t make him nice new clothes like what mamma makes for me. This is my hew white dimity for spring. Mamma says she likes to have all her sewing done by the time hot weather comes. The dress has a long blouse and double

ruffle on the skirt and this is my blue sash. 1 wear it when I have the blue ribbon In my hair and usually I wear pale hlue or white stockings. Mamma says these are “Gibson” plaits over my and there are two narrow insertions of lace down the middle of my blouse. Mamma considers abort sleeves the best for summer or winter, and she says she likes to have the skirts of my dresses solid embroidery because they are so fluffy. Sometimes I wear kid shoes, but usually black sllppera—they’re so sensible —and pretty, too. I’m six years old.— Anna M. Denniston In the Chicago News.
