STYLES FOR LITTLE FOLKS

Spring Garments Are to Be Trimmed With Lace in an Elaborate Fashion. What mother is there who does not at times search high and low in the shops for “something new” in the line of children’s wear? for amid the bewildering array of American and imported models there always seem to be but one or two styles for little folk. A careful survey Of the new spring styles for children, which have not yet been shown to the general public, indicates that batiste, point d’esprit, pique and embroidered voile will be the favored materials in the fashioning of their clothes*. j| J For children who range in age frow" two to five years there seems to be a much better choice of models and trimmings and style lines are as widely diversified. The waist, which is most frequently marked by a sash of some kind, may be either low or high, after the Greenaway fashions, which may bring into popularity the rather long skirt of that period. The new spring garments for children seem to be trimmed large with lace —handcrocheted Irish and Valenciennes predominating. Tiny buttons, covered with silk or satin to match the encircling sash, are also very frequently seen.
