Every wardrobe must express the latest word in style no matter If one la very young and not supposed to be busying one's mind 'with cJothes. Somebody must do It for one, and this spring designers' thoughts have been happily reflected In the very attractive coats and dresses constructed for that difficult problem the growing girl. Her littlest Bister has also come in for her share of consideration, and like the lilies of the field she will be letchlngly garbed with no fussing on her part, A graceful coat for the flapper Is made of blue homespun, has straight lines and the collar Is a scarf of knitted yarn. Another which resembles mother's new spring cape is a wrap of navy serge with a braided waistcoat and a stand-up collar of the material. Coats for little girls are made of silk poplin, corded and tucked in simple, short-waisted styles, and more often than not a handmade collar of batiste basted in. For a young baby's first season there are wonderful creations of white or palest . shell pink crepe de chine, lined with wash silk, embroidered in tiny flowers and put together at the seams with fagotting or entre deux. These exquisite and fragile affairs ofttimes exceed the price of mother's own spring wrap, but she can, with a knowledge of sewing a fine seam, and a deal of patience, evolve a reproduction of which fhe will be proud. For the miss whose dearest wish is to wear a separate blouse and skirt

and thereby attain a grown-up look,!

there are net waists with many soft, girlish frills, which are charming when worn with moderately full skirts of rough silk or of cotton.

Smarter, perhaps, than the blouse and skirt, one piece frocks of thej new English prints, combined with ,

crisp organdie in white or in the predominating color of the material. These dresses have so many possibil

ities and when youth is the manikin, inspiration is given for endless ways of making. Dresses for graduation are returning this year to the lacy, dainty af

fairs they once were, though they have not the over-elaborate effect that caused them to lose their popularity some seasons ago. They are the prettiest frocks there are, though, for that occasion, which is second only to a girl's wedding day, and they are such nice things to be able to remember to tell the future generation about! Voile, organdio and batiste are trimmed In bands of lace put together with hemstitched bands or puffing; again a medallion set into skirt, sleeve and waist is seen as the motif in decoration. Short puff sleeves are not so good as those which fit the arm at

the top and flare a bit or have a ruffle attached at the elbow. Round or square neck3 are good. Dress-up clothes for little girls are quaint Indeed. Provocative of a happy entile is a handkerchief linen in pink stick candy stripes, with absurd littlo pointed Pierrot ruffles embroidered in blue polka dots at the neck and wrist. A line of blue smocking defines the waist line, and ends in a

string of sash. This frock haa blue buttons up the back. Another attractive little party dress of white handkerchief linen has a hem and cuffs of rose linen edged in Irish picot, and attached to the dress proper with nothing less than oldfashioned hairpin trimming. Though not so cool as frocks of thinner stuffs, white pique has many

! advantages In that it is durable, laun

ders perfectly and does not muss. Following the trend of the moment, even baby's first short dresses observe the new dictum and start in to have a waist line. True, It is just a bit of insertion across the tummy, with an absurdly narrow sash attached, but it is the beginning of a waist line anyway. Groups of tiny tucks, French knots and lace motifs are favored methods of trimming. Simplicity is the rule in apparel for littlest folks as well as for tielr elders.

After living for twenty years with a bullet In his brain, Edgar Wilgus, an insurance broker of Trenton, N. J., was killed by a five-foot fall on the granite steps of a New York hotel.'
