I've had such an interesting week
makinp the rounds of the many par
ties that are being given by the
Younger Generation.
The children were all so adorable
in their dainty little party frocks,
bedecked in ribbons, their tiny
socks snupgling down into pretty
lit Ho boots.
Cunning little hats and coats of
every conceivable style wore in evi
dence at every affair I attended.
I am so enthusiastic about some
of the (dder girls' dresses I must
describe a few of them that were
the very latest in design and color.

His Clothes.
Peter Rabbit, who !ii:s with Ins
mother and Flopsy Mopsy and Cot-
! toiitail, underneath the root, of a big
tir tree, returned home one evening j
i tired, sick and without his clothe?. ,
The neck was round and.
trimmed with a touch of embroid
ery like on cuffs.
Another dainty little frock was
; made Fton Style in a Russian Green
; Taffeta. It was trimmed with
pold thread and bad a dainty little
vest of ecru net edged with va!
lace.
The belt, was- sash effect of
Roman stripe ribbon.
One girl wore a frock of white
Chiffon. It was made, with low
neck and short slocvo and looked
so girlish with its deep collar of
Hairnet Lace.
The. skirt Mas tucked and at the
hem had a 5-inch insert of ribbon
strap triinminp. It was charming
in its simipticity for a party dress,
but could also be used later on for
a Com formation or Graduation
dress.
After admiring the girls' dresses
of course the first thing we. wanted
to know was where ihey purchased
them and they all said m the Junior
Department, at. Durgess-Nash Store.
