Tasteful Coat for Little Girl

By way of showing us that the very simplest things need only a clever finishing touch or two to make them good style, tills coat for a little miss made its debut at a formal style show. It is a little between-season affair of Soft silk, lined with crepe de chine, and it might be developed In satin or in a smooth-faced light-weight cloth, Since it is so simple it may be relied upon to hold its own for more than one season. To make it would hardly tax the knowledge of a beginner in the art of sewing. The yoke is straight and plain and laid In a hem at the lower edge. The skirt is a straight length of the material, hemmed along one raw edge and gathered at the other, where it is stitched to the yoke. The sleeves are set in to the yoke and widen toward the wrist At the wrist the crepe lining and the material of the coat are turned back and stitched together. The small sailor collar is faced with crepe. —— — ; Two l*ttlej>ockets are set on, one at each sider They are of the silk and are shirred into a ruffle at the top. like the handsome white pearl buttons that fasten the coat from-neck to hem. For winter wear coats of this character? that is those that are intended for dressy wear, are more often made of velvet or plush than anything else. Narrow bands of fur help out in trimming them, and they are made with high collars. Gay and pretty colors are'favored for the little miss, and her

bonnet or hat is quite likely to be made of the same material as her coat.
