” 5 » DRESSES ARE made of gossamer organdies, dotted Swisses and satin broadcloths that have the look of being absolutely ethereal with billow-

ing skirts, huge sashes and winged-shoulder effects, Skirts are fuller, sleeves are puffier and laces are prettier than ever this spring. Many of these toddler confections come with their own petticoats or blouse-slips. Some even have panties to match with bustleruffles on the you-know-what, A greater variety of colors is being used in little girls’ dresses, too, Delicate mist-gray organdy frosted with white is very sophisticated.

exception. They are neat and always smart. They have no price,

tured. Here's your chance to fool your public with a smart suit at a smart price. The picture-frame neckline is news with its wide, low-cut collar underscored with plain gabardine, The double row of but. tons down the front makes the bodice very slim, and buttondown pocket flaps point to a gored skirt with easy fullness, » » » EQUALLY SMART is the molded jacket of the Bow Suit.

Sis and Jupior To Be Stylish, Too

Sis and Junior are not lagging far behind Mother in the spring fashion picture. For school, Miss Pigtails will be wearing a little two-strap in brown leather, with a low heel and the comfortable leather sole favored for juvenile shoes, For play and general wear, there is a whole line of low wedgies and sandals in a variety of multi-colors. And for those Sunday outings, the event of the week for the small fry, there are polished leather strap shell pumps in colors that blend or contrast with the gay crisp cottons that are the standby for both dressup and every day use. Brother can step out in style this spring, too, in smoked elk moccasins, U - wing blucher types, and in a U-wing with wheat mesh inserts on the vamp and along the sides.

She tops her “well tressed” head with a Rex creation in white straw which has a tiny nose veil that she ‘pins on with two diamond cluster pins. Black patent-leather shoes and bag and a pair of white gloves complete the costume,
