By MART DEAN.

As the war is having its effect upon the Btyles of dress worn by grownups, so It also has upon those of the younger generation. The fashionable materials used for developing women’s gowns are also employed in making the small additions' intended for the little folk. Marked features of the season are the combining of plaid and plain ma-

terials the use of roman stripes —the use of but- , tons as a trimming and of silk and velvet combinations. A frock seen recently was made of navy blue serge and navy blue, green and black plaid silk. The colors were soft and were blended together harmoniously. There was a narrow line of yellow running through the color scheme which re-

lieved the somewhat somber tones and added greatly to the general effect of the frock. The frock was also brightened a bit by a flat collar of embroidered fillet lace. The plaid material formed the side of the frock and sleeves, while the navy blue serge formed the jumper effect at the back and front, cuffs, wide belt and skirt. Buttons trimmed the front of the frocks and deep cuffs. Another charming little frock was made of navy blue serge and roman striped silk. The body of the frock was of the navy blue. serge and extended several inches below the waist line. The long waist line was defined by a

sash of the roman striped silk surrounding the body and running through wide eyelets in the material, the sash showing at the front and back, and it was tied at the back^in^ loops and long ">nd&. The roman stripe® silk also, formed the underskijt-And cuffs. There was a large collar of fine white lace. In this little frock, as in the one

above described. There was a note of color to relieve the somber tone, in small ornamented buttons and tiny lines of embroidery at the front of the upper part of the body of the frock. Another frock is also of the navy blue serge and roman stripe silk. In this frock the silk is a trifle more lively in its color scheme. The silk forms the sleeves and the skirt of the frock while the long-waisted body, cuffs and girdle are of the serge. Buttons of the material trim the front of the frock and the cuffs.
