SABI OS i. = \ JE OCGCGERPEPCER. BSose By Mildred Lodewick. Wopyright, 1922 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co. UITE as pleasant and interesting Q a part of a summer landscape as the flowers are the tiny, tots whose playgrounds are the open fields and gardens. Their gay little frocks, in fact, rival the flowers in the vividness of coloring, for no color is restricted these days. Even gray, which a few years ago was confined to our grandmother's wardrobe, is employed for kiddie clothes. A very smart little model in gray, linen was trimmed with bindings of turkey red, and red turkeys chased each other around the hem. Another little frock of green linen was gay, with white applique flowers climbing up one side, while a white collar fin- ished the neck. I saw a canary yel- low frock, too, buttonholed with black and white, and a violet one embroid- ered with cerise. Solid embroidery or cross stitch, or a straight basting stitch or French knots may be the medium of ex- pressing a decorative motif. Oft- times too the motif is merely outlined, but certain it is that some form of such decoration appears on almost every kiddie frock of the practical or- der. Collars are not as necessary as they used to be considered, and the necks and sleeves are often finished with buttonholing or bindings or a pointed edging suggestive of the rick- rack braid. Did you know that at the Rotion counters you can find bias bundings of batiste all folded and ready to apply? They come in almost every color and are a great conveni- ence to the woman who does her own sewing. All sorts of fancy braids and eugings introducing colors in the em- broidery are to be found at the notion counter, while pearl buttons may be had in all the colors of the rainbow and add a distinctive touch to a frock, no matter how simple it might be, The little boy in the sketch sitting en the wall with his little playmate is wearing a snappy suit which his mother might have made. It is of red and white candy striped galatea and plain white galatea, the former com- pesing the pants and little dickey and euf™, which contrast effertively the white blouse. Such mas- @oline appurtenances as the notched b 7 willing we collar and the pockets will strike a responsive note in any small boy's heart, The little girl who shyly poses in the right-hand corner is wearing a dainty frock of blue dotted Swiss that is held in puffings about the upper Part by means of narrow Valenciennes insertion, Many rows of the insertion trim the skirt around the bottom, coinpleting a frock of such charm that any little girl could be coaxed into a nap who could look forward to dressing up in it for supper. The hat which is pictured at the left is for springtime wear, made of soft taffeta interlined with crinoline, The turn-back brim cuts up about the edge and is captured by tiny ribbon bows. The same ribbon is used for binding, and also for long and numer- ous loops and ends that emerge from one of the openings on the side, to offer graceful streamers of childish charm, which return to the other side of the hat. The crown may be of straw or made of bias folds of the taffeta. This little hat, while indi- vidual, abides by the mandates of fashion for children—that no preten- tiousness of effect or effort should be manifest. Capes are as popular for outer cov- erings for children as they are for grown-ups. Silk collars and ribbon tie ends on those of cloth are for dress-up wear, while the practical models include lightaweight sport plaids in light, gay colors, with but- tons and strap trimmings. Some of the capes are lined, while others are merely bound, either with braid, ribbon or contrasting colored cloth, One little model of rose camel's hair cloth was fringed all about the edges, which were neccessarily straight, while a white brushed-wool knitted collar completed it Cota reapers THE EVENING WORLD'S FASHION REVIEW BECTION, SATURDAY, MARCH 18,1922. Flowers Rivalled in Kiddie Clothes DESIGNS BY MILDRED LODEWICK. Dear Miss Lodewick: 1 am to attend a dinner with dancing which is ‘ being given by the office force where { am_= employed, and | should like to have your ad- vice on a suitable dress to wear. | hold a good posi- tion and would like to look dig- nified. Am twen- ty-three years of age, have bobbed hair, brunette. Have good color. MISS M. D. A. Canton crepe or erepe de Chine in brick red, green or other fa- vorite color could be @raped in one plece at the left side front with a beaded motif. A sash of the material or dyed lace to match passes around the back dropping, a jaboted end at left side and a loop and end at right. Dear Miss Lodewick: t 1 have 3% yards of bright blue duvetyn which | am desirous of ha, | made up simply but with individuality for practical wear. { go to business, am seventeen yeare of age, slender and weigh 103 pounds. MISS D. K. Make the frock in one piece with round neck bound with dull silver braid or ribbon and in front two pre- tentious eyelets bound with same through which a black cire ribbon is drawn to tie in bow and long stream- ers. On each side of skirt slashes for pockets bound with the silver with eyelets just below, and ribbon drawn throuch them as at the neck. Belt of A Season of Bright Red Coats I you like bright red (and what I woman does not?), then now is your time to wear it. Red coats are as fashionable as they ean be. It may be a red silk jersey coat worn with a white silk jersey skirt. It can be a red flannel coat that ts sleeveless, worn with a white silk blouse and a white flanne) ek'rt. It can be @ thick red knitted sweater worn with a heavy gray tweed skirt. It can be a thin red crocheted sweater worn with a white silk skirt. It can be a red duvetyne slip-over smock worn with a tan homespun skirt. You see how numerous the ¢ vnbin- ations are, and how beautifully red fits into the scheme of ~ummer clothes. There is something about the contrast of a warm red against a cailé white which gives the effect of Coolmess and freshness even though red ie about the hottest color that can le conceived. For the Home Dressmaker SEE Ee oR ee sehen I tol lees bettie the fabrie held with silver Lraid orna- ment at back. Dear Miss Lodewick: | am desirous of having a de- sign for a navy blue twill dress for spring. Have five yards of it. My figure is not perfect by any means, as my shoulders are too broad and my bust too large. | am of good height, however, and look well in stylish clothes. Shall want to wear this dress with a fur piece only when weather permits. Am fifty years of age. What type of hat would you suggest? MRS. W. P. Black soutache braid and embroid- ery trimming. Black satin lining panels and cuffs, also collar of it and buttons. White inner yoke. Would advise a medium sized, upward turn- ing brimmed hat of black straw, 3ide trimming on brim or glycerined os- trich or fancy cabochon of small blue flowers. Miss H. C. T. Should think a fitted bodice on this order would become you. Hand-made roses of the taffeta to outline the dis- tended hip, a deep rose velvet ribbon ftreamer, silver run lace panel and sleeves. Dear Miss Lodewick: Will you please design me a grad- uation dress to be made of voile? Am thirteen years old, medium build, 4 feet 11 inches tall. Thanking you. M. C.
