FOR THE SMALLER CHILDREN

Nothing Better Then the Rompers, Either for Playtime or the Formal “Dress-Up” Occasions. For playtime nothing can ever take the place of rompers. These can be as attractive as one wishes them to he. They should, however, be made of some color that does not show the first streak of soil nor the first wrinkle. Gingham Is always good. A big check Is effective and does not show soil easily. Use a dark, plain material for trimming hands, at belt, for a collar, cuffs and at the knees. For the very small boy, the one under five or six years, wash suits are always best. Those of pure white or pink or blue are quite suitable for afternoon wear, but they become soiled so quickly that they are quite inappropriate for morning wear. One of tan or a stripe of tan and white, red and white, blue and white or blue and tan is a much wiser choice for morning than the all-white sort. Galatea is a good material to choose. For afternoon, however, a suit of blue or pink poplin with collar, cuffs and belt of white and tie of black is very attractive, especially if white stockings and black patent leather pumps be worn.
