For All Hours of the Day

Eor every day and out of doors the little miss in city or country cannot have anything better suited to her needs than the plain gingham firess plctUred here. lt is cut on boyish and worn Over bloomers of the same material. It has a panel down the front, buttoning to one side with white buttons and striped collar, cuffs, and belt of gingham in the same color of the dress, with white stripes. There are some less robust, but very useful and pretty little dresses made of chambray in pink or blue, light yel-, low and pale green, with short bodices of white dimity and the chambray skirts either plaited or shirred on to them. Their charms for the youthful are re-enforced by pockets enticingly decorated with little chicks, or birds, or even baby rabbits and squirrels, done in cross-stitch embroidery. Sleeves in ( theße dresses are short, simple needlework stitches, the best liked of all embellishments. Cross-stitch, feather stitch, buttonhole stitch, and' just plain running stitches in colored eotton, seem exactly suited to the childish air of these little frocks. English nainsook, with little tucks and val lace used for adornment, is for the present favored for the dainti-

est of dresses for little folks. Silk sweater-coats, like that shown in the picture, are almost replicas of those that grown-ups wear with their dresses. This one is in blue, with white collar, cuffs and sash, and besides making Its wearer happy-being so much like a grown-up lady in it — it tempers the cool air of morning or evening, or the beach breezes to the white clad little lady.
