FROCKS FOR LITTLE MISSES

Old-Fashioned Calico and Cretonne la. Being Used to Good Advantage - for Girls’ Apparel. Frocks and the most interesting little aprons for little girls are being shown in the shops developed In oldfashioned calico and flowered cretonne. Dresses for the older generation were shown In calico some time ago,' but it seems a material which is particularly well suited to the small girl because of Its strength and the brilliant colors In which it appears. One dress, for example, is shown In bright yellow with a red dot. The rotind neck Is bound with plain red and finished with a stiff pump bow, several of which are set in a row down the side of the blouse. There is no other trimming. ~ An odd frock also in calico appears in a deep shade- of blue figured In white. It has a full skirt and a little white repp sleeveless jumper bound with the calico, is decorated with little old-fashioned ladies cut out and appllqued on. The figured voile dress is the big seller at present and all sorts of beautiful models in organdie are coming in for a great deal of attention. The newest thing shown in this fabric is a frock for a very little girl. It Is of white organdie with a wide round collar and turned back cuffs of the same material in lavender, hand feather stitched in royal purple, and tied with perky little bows of purple ribbon —Nugent’s.
