FOR THE SMALL GIRL

High-Waisted Effects Seen in New Fall Coats. One Smart Model Would Develop Attractively in Bright Red Velour With Black Collar and Cuff?. The little coat here shown, designed for a girl of six to ten years, is decidedly small, but it is simple enough for the average home dressmaker. A soft fabric of medium weight should be selected. Yoke and sleeves only require lining, as the overlapping plaits of the lower part give It weight and warmth. The deep yoke with upper part of Sleeves cut in one with it is a feature of the garment. The lower part of the sleeve is attached with several rows of stitching in heavy silk twist marking the seam, and the same slight trimming touch should be applied to the lower part of the yoke. The simple little rolled collar may be of velvet or of self-fabric. If velvet in contrasting color is used the narrow cuffs should also be of velvet. This little coat would develop attractively In bright red velour with . collar and cuffs of black velvet. Navy ranks first, as usual, in the juvenile color card, but many vivid reds and greens are also used, and various tan and brown shades are also favored in coats. It is interesting to note that all manner of liberties have been taken with the juvenile waistline also. High'walsted effects for girls of four to eight years are featured considerably, but the normal and low placing of the waistline are shown as often. In many coats for the winter of 1917-18 this elusive line is ignored, the garments being cut straight from neck to hem. To make the little coat shown In the sketch for a girl of six to eight years, two and a quarter yards of material 86 inches wide will be required, with

a quarter of a yard of velvet for collar and cuffs. Three buttons on the yoke and three others at the bottom of the qkirt effect TKe'TasKhTngTTHfibugh the "fivetage small girl will probably disregard the

latter three and allow the coat to swing open or stay closed, according to the weather.
