For the Little Miss of Five

Not all the frocks for tiny girls are fluffy and flaring, for here is one that is neither. It is one of several, designed to be very practical as well as pretty, and it is of black taffeta silk. The little miss is apt to feel much dressed up in a silk frock, but if she should forget it and romp a bit her finery will be none the worse for it f There Is not much to say that the picture does not quickly tell about this practical item In the small girl’s outfit. It is merely one of those long waists and very short skirts joined by a girdle made of the goods, that is always good style. It buttons down the front with small silk-covered buttons. ; Velveteen in any of the dark colors will make a dreßS of the same character as that jußt described. One of the prettiest models is made with a plain waist having a round neck and elbow sleeves. The skirt Is perfectly plain and; hangs straight except for a little outward slant in the seams at the sides. It is set on to the waist under a very narrow belt of Silk braid of ‘ * , -T

the same color as the velveteen. Tbe neck, sleeves and bottom of the skirt are bound with this silk braid and the frock* fastens to one side of the front with snap fasteners. The opening is also finished with the braid. This dress is worn oyer a guimpe of white organdie, and rather full organdie undersleeves are gathered in to the small cuff bands at the wrist, These and the guimpe are sewed to an underbodice of lawn, which is easy to launder, and they serve to keep the frock fresh looking as long as it lasts. Either velveteen or serge will wear until they are outgrown, and taffeta is durable enough to be worth while. The colors best liked for these little froeks are brown, blue, raisin color, and brpwn or blue combined with beige.
