A Graceful Frock for the Tiny Child.
Although Fashion seems to have decreed
that the wee ones shall wear
washable dresses at all seasons, manifestly
in order that the freshness and
daintiness of their garments may always
be assured, many mothers sensibly
dress their small children with
due regard for the weather conditions.
The pretty little frock sketched is
suitable for development in either
silk, wool or linen, though it was
modelled, as shown, in a soft, washable
woolen fabric, with hand embroidery
in white silk for the decoration,
marrow frills of lace finishing the neck
and sleeves. The embroidery might
be omitted, however, and ribbon or
silk braid substituted for it. The
shaping of the dress is very simple,
the skirt portion being set in gathers
into the yoke, which is cut square in
the back and in front is shaped prettily
to correspond with the wide box
plait that ornaments ithe front of the
frock. The sleeves may be made
short or of full length, as the season
may demand. For the 2-year size,
2 1-4 yards of 27-inch goods will be
needed.
4252.—Sizes: %, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 years.
The price of this pattern is 10 cents.
A Graceful Walking Skirt.
The present season has produced no
more attractive skirt than the 7gored,
tuck-plaited model displayed in
the accompanling drawing. It possesses,
too, the rather uncommon advantage
of being equally becoming to
slender or stout figures. The effect of
combined smartness and elegance Is
