For Dressing the Young Girls

Problem Satisfactorily Solved by Use of Velvets, Taffeta, Velveteen and Serge Fabrics. Velvet is much used in the development of suits aud dresses for the young girl this season. Sometimes plaid taffeta is combined with velvet or velveteen in a little frock, and again the dress is entirely of the velvet, trimmed possibly in heavy wool embroidery in vividly contrasting colors. A smart little afternoon fropk recently shown for a girl of twelve was of navy satin, made on Russian blouse lines and trimmed only with collar and wide cuffs of embroidered white georgette. For school wear, the regulation dress of navy serge vies for favor with the outfit consisting of separate skirt of plaid or plain worsted to be worn with a middy or smock of »white jean, or with a frilly blouse of Swiss, lawn, or crepe de chine. One unusual outfit for a little girl, recently shown, consisted of frock, cape,. and tam-o’-shanter of Scotch plaid. The frock was cut low in the neck and was sleevefess. With it was -worn a white, long sleeved blouse.

frocks will feature this type of decoration"and the greatest possible variety of fringes is shown. Jet is a prime favorite both for daytime and’ evening dress trimming. Silk fringes of all sorts are used, and one of the very new fancies is for fringe made of very narrow ribbon. The ribbon may be satin, faille or velvet, according to choice, and It may be as wide or aS narrow as the individual taste dictates. Ribbon fringe may be bought by the yard at the dress trimming counters in most of the big shops, but making it at home of ribbon that exactly matches the dress it is to trim is a very simple matter.
