SHANTUNG FOR CHILD’S WEAR

Coats and Frocks of This Material Are Being Worn by Tots of All Ages. The Shantung coat is seen in dou-ble-breasted form fastened with large pearl, buttons and having a wide collar of self-colored Shantung with revers faced with blue or green or rose. For babies there are sweet little Shantung coats hung on a square yoke with full sleeves pleated into embroidered bands to form a cuff, a narrow band of the same embroidery, either selfcolored or a contrasting shade, going round the neck and down one Bide of the front. Another wee coat has a round collar edged with braid in a herringbone design, the collar and cuffs and the hem of the skirt being sewn with French knots. Ab to playing things, nothing could well be prettier than a little frock of smocked Shantung—for smocking is never out of fashion —and with this may be Worn a sweet wee hood to match with revers turned back from the face and sewn with blue forget-me-nots.
