It seems that everything Is woven
in stripes ithlB year, and the frock of
gingham for the half-grown schoolgirl
may show them aa well managed as
they are in ithe vleltlng gown made for
her mother. The handling of striped
fabrics Jb mot a particularly simple
matter, but when well done tho r
suits are something to "be proud of.
A good model for a dresB of striped
material is -shown in the picture. It
Is In every way commendable for the
girl of from nine 'to fourteen years and
merits the attention of those who
must provide clothes that shall be at
tractive for girlB of the awkward age.
One of tho strongest points In favor of
striped fabrics for children's wear lies
In the fact that they allow simplicity
' and variety at the same time. By the
simple expedient of changing the dl
rectlon of the stripes tho trimming
is provided of the camo material as
tEb frock.
The model shown Is bo good that
It should bo followed exactly ao it is,
by the copyists who use It. The bodice
is cut with long shoulderB and largo
arm's-eye, and tho simplest of neck
openings. In It the stripes run up
and down and the Blight fullness gath
ered in at tho waist line gives them
New Combination Garment
jl -jlvO- HMr Hr.nr -ir.nr HK-lr -iK-tr Hrvlr I
A new combination has appeared
among undermusllns and has proved
a great success In tho spring dis
plays. It has appealed to tho senses
of utility, economy and daintiness,
which wpmon exercise when outfitting
themselves with summer underwear.
This garment is called tho "envelope
chemise" and is engagingly pretty as
well as practical.
To cut tho new combination, one has
only to -vary tho lower part of a
chomlso pattern by Sloping the side
seamB outward to provldo for a flare
at tho bottom. Also tho back breadth
Is cut longer than tho front breadth
and with a tab at the center of tho
lower edge. This tab is more or less
narrow and Is provided with button
holes which fasten over small, flat
pearl buttons sewed to tho bottom
edge of tho front breadth.
This arrangement divides tho skirt
of tho chemise, making it as easy to
walk In as muslin or silk pants and
giving the appearance of a short un
der petticoat.
The envelope chemlso Is doveloped
in nainsook or other thin cotton fab
rics and in wash silk or crepe do chine.
It Is trimmed, with the usual Ungcrlo
lacea. The corset cover, pants and
short skirt may bo dispensed with
when this chemise is adopted, since It
takes the place of each of them.
tho right direction. They slant to
ward the middle of tho 'belt at the
back and front. At each side a baud
of the material, having tho atrlpes
running horizontally, makes a moat
decorative feature and adds to the
shaDoUness of-tho waist. In the elbow
length sleeves the stripes run length
wise.
The neck and sleeves aro finished
with an embroidered edging in a slm
nlo. well-made design. Pearl but
tons, two at each side, and simulated
buttonholes of narrow braid, are of
fectlve little touches on the front of
tho walat.
Tho skirt Is moderately full with
panel at the front and plaits at tho
sides and back. Above the three-inch
hom n hnml of tho material, with the
stripes running horizontally, gives the
skirt a neat finish and a deslrabk
flare at tho same tlmo.
The belt may bo of patent leather 01
suede or of Bomo heavy fabric. Alto
gether, this dress follows many good
points in tho modes of spring foi
grownups and at the same timo con
trives to bo prettily childish and vory
practical. It Is meant to bo developed
in wash fabrics and la easy to launder.
In the picture two developments ol
this now garment aro shown, ono with
laco sleeves and laco trimmings and
the other made with small hand-run
tucks at tho front, a narrow handmade
edging about tho bottom and top and
finishing the arm's-oyo. Any needle
woman can make this chomlso and It
Is a very slmplo matter to launder It.
It Is cool for summer wear, for it dis
penses with at least ono piece of un
derwear. JULIA BOTTOM LEY.
