New Colors in Middies.

The middy for young girls has made more and more of a place for itself. Even the long and really ungraceful smock of last year has grown into a middy by appearing much shorter this year and without so much fullness, so no belt is necessary. Plain reseda green with white collars and cuffs, also the all-over pink or light blue are in the spring showings in one shop for $1.25, really lovely colors, and in another shop for the same price are broad striped ones, brown and white, black and white and green and white. The short smocks come in heavenly pastel shades, smocked in white and big white polka dots are embroidered on the collar. These cost $2.98. The real yearning of a tailor made girl goes to a white flannel middy —Norfolk—with plaits and wonderful pockets, and all beautifully tailored. It costs $5.
