So. of course, the small Kirl lias her ruffles and frlll.s and cashes, llko her mamma, and "these frilly fashions seem to suit her In most Instances much better than they do her mamma. Never were frocks for little plrls more adorable than they are this year, except t when Kate Greenaway fashions prevailed. Linen la far and away the most 1 favored material for childish raiment. For little girls there are t-mart frocks of white or colored linen trimmed with ricrac braid or hemstitching, and delectable frocks of cobwebby fine handkerchief linen with hand em- , broidery of the daintiest sort. Little boys have cunning1 Oliver Twist and Russian tunic suits of linen. There is no fabric like linen for children's summer wear. Its coolness. Its crisp freshness, its wonderful wearing qualitlp3 and the satisfactory way It launyders all commend itA Hat And Frock To .Match An excellent cxamplo of this season's linen frock for a small girl is Pictured. The frock, of white linen, is cut with admirable simplicity, falling in straight lines from a kimono shoulder. A sash of the material Is rassed through two buttonholed slashes at the front of the waistline and ties loosely at tho back. Neck and short Mceve.s are fini.shed with pirated fril!3. The little frock buttons djwn the back and three buttons, set across the front between the buttonholed slashes, add a smart trim

ming touch.

And the little lady, you observe, has an extremely modish bandeau by way of coiffure ornament. It is made of shirred pink ribbon with rosettes above the ears. Fashion Docs Not Overlook Tlio Small Hoy Cunning Oliver Twitt tyls are as popular as ever for wee boyhood and there are many variations cn the original models. The little Oliver Twist suit was a happy Inspiration, for ccn tiny boys of two years old can wear real trousers now the short Oliver Twist breeches are so cunning on chubby legs and the whole costume has a babyish picturesqucness so that a baby boy Is stiil a baby even in his bifurcated garment and does not look protesque as tiny boys used to In manly parments that imitated grown-up styles. Pictured is a little suit for a wee boy of two or thereabout. Tho hiKh-waisted breeches are of pink linen and they button to a cool waist of white handkerchief linen, hand embroidered in scallop and dot effect on cuffs and collar. The white socks have pink trimming too. Another little boy wears a v?ry smart new suit in tunic style, with effective strappings and covered buttons at the clashed front of the tunic and cn the pleated sleeve. This suit is made of prren lintn and the trim

A tan :atin coat lining was used for such a petticoat and tan and old blue ribbons were used alternately for the flounce. Rather thin ribbon was used in this case. Among the irresistible r.bbor.s of the season are stunning plaids and gorgeous brocades for sashes; rich moire ribbons also for sashes; heavy grosgrain striped bandings for sport hats, brilliant Roman striped ribbons for ventces and belts of talk-red suits, two-color ribbons for lorgnettes or pendints. and wonderful riobona for the making of bags. Then there are the lovely flowered ribbons there is something especially feminine and dainty about tho?e flowered ribbons, and they are always favorites in summer time for they are so pretty with sheer summer costumes.

Kxactly at the side is a good place, or toward the tide, in front. The girdles in the center of the illustration have smart, short sashends and will be more becoming to older women though they are o,uite correct for young girls too. The woman over thirty must be careful about long sashends. They may give her a suggestion of striving after pirllshnss. especially if the sash is tied at the back. Very slender women can wr-ar graceful, limp sahends with soft, graceful gowns, but let the woman of ample curves beware of fluttering" sashend! The girdle at the left-hand corner of the illustration is made of pale bisque satin ribbon and was desiimed for wear with a cream and ecru lace frock.

At the right of the picture is a handsome sash of bla.ck moire ribbon which will be stunning with a black net dance frock.
