PRETTY AND EASY TO MAKE

Costume for Small Girl That Will Give Very Little Trouble to Her Mother.

With finely embroidered fiounclngs one can turn out, as if by magic, the

adorable, tiny confections that make up a tiny girl’s wardrobe. The edging does away with the necessity of a hem; it can be tied over the shoulders with ribbons and | gathered around the neck so that there are practically but two kinds to be run the underarm and a placket at the back, and the dress is made.

I never tried, but I am sure it would not be beyond one T s powers to turn out two such little frocks in an afternoon, for they seem do more than doll’s clothes.

The cunning little design shown here concedes a trifle more to elaboration, for there are many tiny tucks run through the material to hold it in at a high waist line. They should not be more than an inch and a half long, and there are a few others half that length distributed around the top of the dress under the cord that marks the rounded neck. Wee sleeves in the shape of a ruffle edge of the embroidery are set around the armholes and caught up •q the shoulders with bows of colored

ribbon or black velvet Dotted swiss or plain sheer batiste are both lovely fabrics for this quaint and simple little garment —Lillian Young in Washington Star.
