FOR THE LITTLE LASS

Attractive Little Frock Embodies Bolero Waist Idea. By Substituting Simple Gathered Blouse, Very Different Drees for House or School Is Obtained. No mother Is so blind to beanty that she fails of desire to make her little lass represent the spring blossom of nature, so typical of what she is in human life, and this pattern of a small girl’s dance or “company” frock is calculated, to give the appearance of a frilly pink rose or a ripple-cupped morning glory to your young daughter. - In the design, which is easy to follow, there is the full skirt and the

bolero waist idea, although the pattern also furnishes a simple gathered waist for a plain house or school frock. It is convenient to own a design suited to several purposes. By the omission of the bolero blouse, or waist, there Is quite a different dress. While pongee silks of the different colors now obtainable in pongee are used for clothes for children, there is nothing more charming and appropriate for a child than white wash materials. These, of course, come in a great variety of w’eaves. A suggestion for this dress is to buy enough embroidery flouncing of a fine weave for a bolero. Edge the neck and armholes with very narrow embroidery of the same general character. Then sew two little ruffles of embroidery—or even of plain goods—on the full plain skirt, and shirr the puffs of the sleeves and edge them with the embroidery that trims the bolero. Dotted or figured lawns and swlsses are cheap and, attractive and wear bet* ter than plain white goods. They furnish their own trimming and can be worn over colored slips, with colored sashes, when the little girl entertains her friends at a doll party.
