Adorable Little Models, Fitted to Perfection, Show Frocks for Play, School, Promenade, Dancing and More Formal Occasions; Overalls to Be Quite the Thing for Little Girls as Well as for Boys.

THE WEST

DEEMS TAJmOM; SMOWF :

Adorable little models, fitted to perfection, the dresses being designed especially for the purpose for

which each is intended, and worn with the ease, grace and nonchalance

of a belle with a record of two or

three successful seasons, promenaded across a flowered stage in New York the other day. They were dressed for every occasion, for play time, for school, for dancing, for promenade, and for such formal occasions as a fashionable wedding. They wore snnbonnets, rompers and all the other frocks that children frolic in from the time they get np until they go to bed. It was the First Annual Children's Fashion Show and was held under the auspices of the International Buyers' Club in the great Bush Terminal Sales Building, in Times Square, New Tork. That building is known as a paradise for women buyers and men buyers as well. But the buyers, who crowded the auditorium forgot, for the moment, all about business when the children took the stage. Then they began to analyze the possibilities of the lines displayed when actually worn by lively youngsters, obtaining a graphic idea of the human side of the merchandise. "But it was more than a Fashion Show," says the Dry Goods Economist, "for it showed the relation of a child's clothes to its health and comfort." It was, so far as is known, the first fashion show ever staged exclusively of children. The first group of garments, chovh in the living exhibits, were for play and school wear. They included sweaters and caps, rompers, bloomer dresses and overalls. The exhibit included three general types of rompers, the full bloomers, the 'loose-knee" bloomers, and the small j trousered suits. The bloomer dresses were cut on straight lines from the shoulder, and came to the edere of the bloomers worn underneath. The overalls were regulation type, with straight trousers, bib and crossed straps. Overalls, it was evident, are to be quite the thing for little girls as well as for boys. The general style of the sweater sets was the slip-on, and the caps were of the "Blue Devil" tarn mode, dropping low on the side of the head. There followed a number of "Spring sets" for older girls, comprised of smart afternoon wash dresses with, hata to match.

Reminiscent of the war was the Alsatian street set, including a Navy blue serge cape with gray silk lining that was displayed by Virginia Heald, Child Art Model. This set was simplest in design of all exhibited, but even at that it was finished with gray, hand-made braid. The hat was of blue. The next group was composed of head wear worn by the young Moving Picture Star, Madge Evans. Madge is a month over ten years and is the epitome of radiant girlish beauty. The hats were wide sailors with brims slightly turned down, and long streamers, hand-painted in some cases near the ends. Followed a number of scenes with afternoon dresses, among which were the straight line slips worn with white waists, together with such features as suspender effects, tabs holding sashes and half sashes started from under the arms and tied in the back. Several of these dresses

had bell-shaped sleeves. Favored

trimmings were tiny frills, pleated ruffles, groups of tucks, cross-bar pin tucks, and embroidered motifs. The

motifs were repeated in hats made to

match the dresses. The next act showed party dresses in which the children concerned staged a party. The youthful

hostess wore a little chambray afternoon dress. Surprised by the arrival of her first guest, she excused herself and put on a ruffled dress of

deep cream lace and crepe de chine. Her guests wore dresses of organdie, georgette or lawn, the principal

features cf which were inverted

pleated ruffles and apron effects. And right here it may be said that

the dictators of fashion for children

dictate for the male as well as for

the female with favoritism toward

none, as the numerous tucks and ruffles on Master Leland Chandler's waist amply proved. Master Chandler, juvenile actor on the legitimate stage, took part in a wedding scene, which illustrated the correct order in the procession of the ring-bearers, flower-girls, bridesmaids, bride, and train bearer, and the proper clothing for each one. Even the garments for school and playground were not so severe that tljey could not afford a twist and turn of a ruffle to lend them charm. In connection with the Children's Fashion Show there was given a

Child Welfare exhibition, as it relates to clothes, the health of the

MEMORIAL FOR WAYNE COUNTY LADS PROPOSED

Board of Works and Mayor Favor Two-story Building on Market Square. The first definite proposal for a county and city memorial for the World war veterans, was made at the board of works meeting Thursday. The proposed memorial would be a , two-story building on the Market square at Sixth and South A street, to be built jointly by the city and couny. A motion was made that the mayor appoint a committee of council to act with the board of works, the council, and city and county officials, and as a result the memorial is expected to take some definite shape soon. The building, as discussed by the board of works would have the city market on the first floor, and would contain rest-rooms, reading-rooms, and perhaps a municipal auditorium. The board and the mayor agreed tentatively on the first week in May as clean-up week and the mayor is to present the clean-up campaign to council at the Monday night meeting. A dozen rubbish cans are to be purchased by the city and placed one to a block along Main street, and on busy busy corner of the city. The Starr Piano company was given permits to do some improvement work on city property near its factory. A letter was received from the Indiana Inspection Bureau saying that the city light plant would be inspected as asked by the city. Several small improvements were authorized and recommended.

THE ALSATIAN BOW AND SMALL HELMET ARE WAR INSPIRED MILLINERY MODES

WADE FAILS TO NAME LOAN CHAIRMAN HERE

From present indications, Wayne county will go into the Victory loan drive, which opens in less than three weeks, without a county chairman. EfTorts made by William H. Wade, state chairman, who was in Richmond Wednesday, to straighten out the local tangle, were not of much avail. The machinery of the Fourth liberty loan has been allowed to rust, most of the township chairmen have resigned, and so far as a Liberty loan campaign is concerned, the county is completely disorganized. Mean Street Store Entered by Burglars Women's clothing was the booty of burglars who entered the Palais Royal Wednesday night, by breaking a second-story window at the front of the building. The store had employed a night watchman until two weeks ago. Marks on the windows of Frankel's clothing store next door, Indicated that an atempx had been made to entr ftfs ctosa also

At first glance there seems to be no trace of war influence in these altogether charming hats, but on closer inspection one can detect the helmet shape of the rough straw even though it is camouflaged with black lace flange and a perky bow at the back. The large sailor hat of malina with huge polka dots embroidered in straw is trimmed with a large straight bow which was inspired by the bows worn by the Alsatian maids in northern France, .
