SIMPLE DRESS FOR A CHILD

Pretty Design That Few Mothers Would Have Much Difficulty In Copying to Perfection. In the window of a store where children’s dresses are sold is a dress which draws remarks from every observer. The dress is so effective and so simple that every woman standing before the window feels sure she can make one just like it for her daughter and for half the price quoted on the tag. And every woman filled with such confidence has the right idea, for the dress is made in simple jumper effect, being of pink linen, and the underbody or guimpe is of white batiste. At either side front of the dress is a daisy outlined with coronation braid, and from the daisy a stem and several tiny leaves grow for a distance of four inches from the top and bottom of the flower. The coronation braid is white and the leaves and stems are outlined in white mercerized cotton. Turned back cuffs and a lay-down collar on the guimpe are edged with finely plaited batiste, and both sides of the front box plait are edged with narrower plaiting. A wide black velvet belt, slipped through embroidered slots, adds distinction to the little frock. Duplicate this model in all white, in a combination of blue and white, yellow and white or brown and white, and you will cause rejoicing in the heart of the little girl who is to wear it. —New York Press.
