CLING TO LOW WAIST LINE

Noticeable In All the Season’s Childish Models—Short Sleeves Retain Their Popularity.

The majority of the styles for children which have displayed thus far have the low waist line, which is marked by a sash plaited into folds. Sleeves are short, stopping at the elbow in order to display the rounded dimple which generally lurks there. One unusually pretty model, which would do very nicely for a party dress, is made of very sheer white batiste. The neck of the garment is cut square and at the shoulder, on each side, there is a series of small pin tucks, which provides the necessary fullness. The waist line is very low, and a deep ruffle, joined to the upper portion of the dress by Valenciennes lace inserted after the manner of Greek fretwork, forms the lower part of the garment. Small clusters of pin tucks around this skirt ruffle at equal distances furnish the fullness, and a dainty sash of pink ribbon, which goes behind the tucks and over the plain surface 6f the skirt. Tiny rosettes of the same pink ribbon adorn the little elbow-length sleeves and if desired one may also be placed on the waist.
