Early In January the new things for
spring in children's wear are present
ed by their designers, and the home
sewing is soon under way. Fabrics
and styles are at hand for the consid
eration of the home dressmaker, and
she may anticipate the spring and
cam lelsuro in summer by getting
much of the spring sewing out of the
way in the middle of winter.
Thero are many pretty new models
in frocks for little girls, including
school and play dresses and those for
afternoon and little party frocks, that
it is more of a pleasure than a task to
make. A gingham dress, for every
day, and a linen suit for dress-up, de
signed for the girl of ton years, are
shown in tho "picture given here, and
they are well worth while copying ex
actly as they are.
Tho gingham dress is a small plaid
pattern, with tan and soft darker col
orings crossed with very narrow bars
in black. It is cat with a novel yoke
which drops at each side of tho front
and slopes down to the waist line at
the sides. The sliape is the same at
tho back.
The skirt portion is plaited into the
yoko at the back and sides and partly
across tho front. Hut at the center
tho fullness is taken up by shirrings.
The neck Is cut round, with a shal
low "V" opening at the front and fin
ished with a small sailor collar of
plain tan linen. The edges of the col
lar and tho cuffs that match it are tin
ished with buttonhole stitching in
heavy linen iloss. Deep blue anil

A fascinating vanity bag and one of
the now "vanity" corsage bouquets are
tho latest of those pretty conceits that
ire made of ribbons. They aro al
ways alluring and more full of delight
than ever when they combine a little
usefulness with much beauty. This
both of tho trifles pictured contrive to
Jo.
Tho small round bag is mado of
.avendor satin ribbon wjth a mirror
used for tho bottom, having tho glass
sldo out. Tho ribbon forms a framo
for it, shirred about tho edge. At tho
lop tho bag is edged with gold lace,
and gold laco braid is festooned about
it under a second festoon of small rib
bon Howers. It Is closed with lavender
silk cords, which end in small disks
mado of tho cord.
Tho "vanity" corsage Is a bunch of
deep purplo violets simulated in nar
row satin ribbon, with a lifelike orchid
of silk embedded In them. In tho
heart of tho orchid Is hidden a tiny
box of compact powder and a powder
puff. This bit of artifice Is disclosed,
to tho delight of overyono, when tho
wearer of tho bouquet improves her
complexion by looking to tho flower
for aid.
. Tho stems of thJ flowers aro tied
stitching, and they repeat tho blue
and black of the fabric.
A girdle of narrow black velvet rib
bon is worn with the frock, slipped
through narrow straps of tho gingham,
which are sowed to tho dress below
tho waist line. The girdle is fastened
under a small bow at tho back and is
simply slipped out when tho dress is
laundered.
Tho white linen frock has a plaited
skirt with a panel at the front and
shallow plaits at each side. It is set
on to a plain waist of organdio, cut
with round neck llnlshed with a nar
row band. It fastens down the front
with small crochet buttons. The short
linen jacket Is scalloped and embroid
ered by hand about tho edges, and tho
sailor collar and narrow turned-back
cuffs are mado to match it. Tho gir
dle is of black velvet, fastening at tho
back under a small Hat bow.
Colored linens as well as white are
used for this model, but white is the
most satisfactory in tho long run.
New Neckwear.
One of tho unusunl new stocks is
mado with tho outside cut deep enough
to turn down quite on tho shoulders.
It could be made of batisto or linen,
silk or any material approved, so it is
kept soft. Tho turnover part natu
rally tuniB away at the throat from
the stock proper and it wrinkles a bit
which is part of its charm.

complexion.
S
Variegated Colors,
The fashion of vivid colors on the
head has launched a mass of varie
gated velvet hats to bo worn with
somber tailored suits on tho street,
and In a more subdued form with
afternoon gowns. Tho velvet in theso
turbans is very supplo and silky and
Is pulled up and out into irregular
folds: Hlght in this manipulation
rests the skill of the milliner and tho
resultant beauty of tho hat. Ornn
mentation is allowed, but It must bo
gently done. A spray of cut stool
fashioned In some fragllo form can Lo
used on tho crown to hold flowers,
and butterflies that have appeared on
tho flat-back velvet sailors aro not
used on tho turbans. Thero aro ai
grettes, but they do not cause sorrow
or annoyanco from tho onlooker be
causo it is realized that they are old
ones.
