Small Girl’s Outfit for Cold Weather

SHOPPING for the requirements of the little girl develops the knowledge that she may be provided with almost as many dress accessories as are designed for her mother. In anticipation pf wintry weather the little maid In the picture Is about to be outfitted with warm clothing in which she may defy the cold for one thing and look pretty and well cared for, for another. In outside garments she is first supplied with a heavy, close-knitted sweatercoat. It Is finished with turn back collar and cuffs and a knitted belt and is almost as warm as fur. The color is a rich red, about the best choice and the most pleasing to the little wearer. The collar may be rolled up about the neck and the cuffs brought well down over the hands to protect the wrists. For daily wear this Is the Ideal garment The Uttl/' Scotch cap to bo worn

with this or any bther coat is of black and red velvet bound and trimmed with black silk braid. The crown Is a long puff of black velvet, and the bands about it at each side are of red lined with black and finished with a binding of black silk braid. These bands are extended at the back, where they are cut into two tabs‘which are turned down and Jail over the hair. At the front the bands are also turned back and the points tacked down. Small bows of' the black silk braid used in (he binding are placed at the middle of the front and back. Knitted caps or hoods for school and for outdoor play and mittens to take the place of the muff, are to be provided. Freedom to play keeps an active child warm In ordinary cold weather without the fur sets which are not expected to stand a great deal of bard service. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
