FROCKS FOR LITTLE GIRL

Simple Styles That Are Always in Favor and That Would Be Unwise to Change. In children’s frocks nowadays style is quite as important as it is in regard to grown-up garments. For a long time there has been comparatively little difference in the outline of clothes for young girls, grown girls and their still girlish mothers, but perhaps this is to no small extent due to the fact that grown-flp lines have been simple enough for children to adopt. No doubt if our. dressmakers succeed in forcing upon us panniers and draperies, general good taste will prevent our defying little girls’ frocks to match, and we shall leave them still straight, slim and simple. Meantime the coat and skirt of simple make, with a plain front panel, large revers and collar and the Inevitable sprinkling of buttons or a long Cossack frock or a pleated skirt and Magyar blouse are each regarded as in their proper place becoming to the school girl or even to the smaller child.
