4 THE EVENING WORLD'S FASHION REVIEW SECTION, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922. -_- — nent non $+ What the Little Girls Are Wearing By Emilie Hoffman. Copyright, 1922, (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co. INCE simplicity is the keynote of S fashion for grown-ups it is but natural that children’s garments are a reflection of those worn by their elders. Especially in dresses “for general wear simplicity is the dominating note, whether the dress ie for the tiny tot of four, the girl of ten or the miss of sixteen. For the very little girl the cute Empire effect is much in vogue, but the long waist is scen on older girls and, in fact, for all general wear. The very little girlies have the long waist defined by a sash or belt and are slightly bloused, while the olde: girls have the long, straight lines. While the smart dresses for general wear are simple in development the party frocks have rows of tiny spaced ruffies or flounces but these are scant and by no means the fluffy ruffles of several seasons ago, ind as a rule these constitute the sole trimming Ribbon is another mode of trimming that is much favéred, @ance frock for a young miss is of orchid chiffon with streamers” of matching ribbon draped in garland effect over the sides of the skirt and around the deep armholes on the blouse and these are held down by Beveral clover leaves made of green ribbon. A girdle of the chiffon en circles the low listline and is fin An exquisite ished at the side with one of the clover leaves. A cute little pasty dress for a miss of six is of changeable pink and mauve vegetable silk-satin, It has a wide girdle of dajsies applied at a very low waistline to form « hloused effect. The round neck and deep armholes are bound with satin and the shoul- ders are laced with ribbon ending half way between the shoulder and el- bow. A blue taffeta frock for a girl of ten has the ruffles edged with dull orange satin and at the squaro neck, quite like that of the grown-ups, there are touches of embroidery in orange silk. Navy blue and gray seems a som- bre dress for youth, but it is so quaint Pleated and Sleeveless Dress of Dotted Swiss With Val.

HOSE soft, gracefully falling | dresses of silk which are so much the vogue just now are Prettiest when they are made ot crepe ae Chine. You will find all sorts of othe: crepes upon the market, but you will be best satisfied if you confine your wn attentions to crepe de Chine—of an expensive variety if you see fit, but of the cheaper quality if your pocketbook is keyed that way, Weight the gown plentifully at the pluces where it droops or where the draping falls into points, and you will find that the old standby crepe de Chine does some of its happiest work. There is a peculiar habit of this particular weave of silk which makes it just naturally take beautiful and artistic folds. It Is a fabric that is meant to be draped, that finds its best expression in being made that Way. So elegant are its folds, in fact, that it can be trusted to make its mark in any company and for any oceasion. Many of the French dresses which look altogether sumptuous and unusual are made of the simple crepe de Chine so handled that its best properties are brought forth and made to speak elegantly for it. For linings there is nothing better than this material. Its softness adapts itself to the outer garment so , well that it becomes an integra: part of the costume. One always knows, in fact, when crepe de Chine, forms an under layer because the outer layer falls upon its foundation so trustingly and in such good faith. Now they are using crepe de Chine for hats. It drapes in that respect quite as well as it does for dresses. And many are the crepe frocks of the new season which have their hats to match all made ready to be acai along with the gowns. TATE ERS and pretty that the girls like it and after a girl gets to be twelve years old she decides what she is going to wear, so these girls will, probably, wear this combination and leave it to the dressmaker to put in the youthful touches. One modiste has just fin- ished such a frock of blue taffeta trimmed with gray ribbon for a girl of sixteen. Voiles make up beautifully in chil- dren’s frocks. One recently seen is in a blue and white herringbone pat- tern with trimmings of red ribbon. The little lady wore a coat of navy blue and a hat in a combination of blue and red fabric. She carried a small red bag and had on a string of red beads and she received much admiration from passers-by ~ { 5 2 4 This Is a Season of Big Hats VEN small hats are large this E season. That is the way the millinery designers put it. We have passed out of the era of the little hat that hugs ‘he head and looks like a band of ribbon twisted around the hair. No, there must be trimming which brings out the diameter und makes a@ more spreading design. Even the little toques have bynchy orna- ments on their sides, so that they take on a pert little expression and a wid» spread look. Then when one meets with the lhurge hats one is surprised at how very large they are. Their brims are apt to roll a little away from the face, but then they reach away into the air like veritable airplanes, From the edges of their large brims they, too, have ex- tended trimmings, so that their large- ness is increased to an even greatei degree. Feathers are used to add width to the brim of the hat. They have no idea of being tucked out of sight and close to the crown. This season they ure “;very much in the centre of the stag: and no trimming, no matter what it is, is used without some idea of incre:s- ing the breadth of the hat’s brim. The little hats with wide trimmings are hard to tie on with veils, and 30 many of th are provided with little curtain-like face veils of lace or net or net attached to the hat and meant to remain there, for they part where the trimming comes and leave it to shine on by itself in uninterrupted apienodor.

Glimpses Into the ’ New York Shops OTWITHSTANDING the © fact N that Paris fashion news states that leading modistes are sti featuring the all black gown, a buyes in one of our prominent shops, wh has just returned from Paris “ts that all indications point toward a season of bright colors. She is of the opinion that good dre apprecinte the elegance of the black costume, thea efore will include at least one suf. in their wardrobes, but the ave- raj @ woman now brightens up het black costume by combining some bright color with it. This buyer says the shades popu- lar in Paris are red, yellow, odd blues and browns, which is quite the same in our shops. She also saw a great deal of green which, as is alse apparent here, has not vet outrun ‘ts popularity. Window shoppers, the past week crowded around the displays of cos- tumes and accessories in the golden yellow tones known as sunshine yellow and dandelion. This bril- liant yellow is woing to be a “top- notcher” in the opinion of buyers in several prominent shops. The new blue shades bordering on lavender are receiving much atten tion in the misses’ departments and beautiful frocks in crepe de Chine have been conspicuously displayed in three different shops as cornflower, periwinkle and orchid, respectively The color is a bluish lavender and while it seems an odd shade for vouth it does not look so when made up. Many of these dresses are in the one tone, sometimes trimmed with delicate designs in silver or, in the ease of dance :,ocks, are made up in combination of the bluish tone with a most decided fuchsia shade and other striking combinations, New lightweight silk and wool hose to match the fashionable tweed suits are being featured at $1.85 a pair The colorings are exquisite and, judg- ing by the varied displays, there is not a tweed or homespun suit that cannot be matched.
