Smart Styles for Children

The two childish and pretty models to fall millinery for children, which are pictured here, will make an instant appeal to good taste. They are simple in construction, as they should be. but are strictly to line with the season’s style ideas. The cap of fine corduroy, designed for the little girl from three to seven years old, shows a novel management of the crown to the square outlines of the drapery. It is simply a band covered with corduroy which fits about the head and supports a folded width of the corduroy to form the crown. The points at each side of thi« piece are brought down to the band and fastened. At the right the f n atoning is made under a cabochon of cord, and at the left side a cabochon of the same sort supports a handsome silk tassel. Hats of this description are made up In corduroy of various colors, brown being a great favorite, with blue a close second. They are lined with soft silk and It would be hard to point out a fault in them when measured by the requirements looked for in millinery for small girls.

For the miss from ten to sixteen a hat is shown at the right in which the influence of high crowns makes its appearance. The frame is covered with velvet except about the side crown where bias folds of velvet and satin are alternated. A striped ribbon with plaid border repeats the colors used in velvet and satin and introduces, others in touches of gay, bright tones. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
