STYLES FOR KIDDIE CLOTHES

Great Leeway Admitted In Fashions for Younger Set Same as for Grownups. The time is certainly past when children’s clothes can be purchased ready to wear for a mere song. Making them at home is a great saving this season, especially if the stores are carefully “shopped” for bargains in materials. Fortunately no one style dominates the style field for children (for the matter of that, great leeway is admitted in fashions for grownups as well) and variety is really the important point to achieve. Cotton poplin-is in high favor for sturdy service dresses for little girls and for suits for small boys. Cotton crepe is another fabric that; is a favorite when clothes for everyday wear are under consideration. The small girl will be becomingly outfitted in voile, organdie, swiss and similar transparent fabrics when really warm weather arrives —that is, for sbmewhat dressy occasions —but the sturdy percales, poplins, chambrays and cotton crepes wIM be selected for play hours. Vivid, rather dark, or at least medium shades are in great favor for service clothes for members of the younger set. Jade green is liked and is very smart when becoming. Marigold yellow and a medium blue are much used.
