DETAILS THAT MAKE EFFECTS

Small Touches Lift Children's Clothing Out of the Domain of Things That Are Ordinary.

Koinetimes is it Just the small touch that is different which will lift the embroidered frock or jumper suit out of the ordinary class. It is well to keep one’s eyes open for Just such details and then make good use of them on the frock or Jumper in the sewing bag. A little girl’s dress made in a longwaisted style has a peplum with scalloped outline put on at the long waist. The peplum falls downward at the sides, but at the front and back it is held upward in bib fashion, after being split and buttonholed, and the ribbon sash passes through these two tabs. Crocheted buttons hold the front and back sections in place. A little boy’s suit of pique has collar and cuffs of rose-colored linen. A dainty edge of pink and white cot* J

ton is crocheted on these. Small pockets of' the rose linen are applied to the belt and these are topped with the colored crochet Russian Styles for Summer Frocks. Premet has recently created some •smart summer dresses of foulard, surah and linen, which are completed by an extra basque blouse, made much on the lines of the Russian blouse, though not so long, terminating about six inches below the waistline. These blouses are made of transparent fabrics, organdie and crepe georgette and slip on over the dress.
