KNITTED SUITS ALWAYS GOOD

Probably the Most Practical and Comfortable Garment That a Child Can Wearj a There is a slight tendency in the direction of overdressing children just now. Every now and then this tendency arises, I, only to be annihilated by the fact that there are few women so silly that they will overdress their children, whatever they may do.themselves. Real torture may be inflicted on a sensitive child by dressing her in. out of date and clumsy garments when all her school fellows are daintily clothed. But what are wanted are not up-to-date things, but simple and pretty things. The rise of the knitted coat for adults has led directly to the use of knitted suits for children. They are very comfortable, very warm, and as durable as anything can bethat is submitted to .the extreme chances of a child’s day. For very small boys little knickers and jerseys of knitted wool are the most practical of garments, especially for fat little boys, who will come through tic fabric much quicker than they will dome through knitted wool.
