THE BABIES’ DRESS PARADE TOILETTES FOR THE TINTES I Very tiny were the children who acted as mannequins at a recent display of juvenile clothes, but they seemed to enjoy their role and take it in all seriousness. No stiffness or self-consciousness here; merely a child-like desire to "look pretty” and win the admiration of the “grownups.” This mannequin show revealed the interesting fact that organdie is all the rage. The most enchanting frock boasted a skirt that was merely a 'froth” composed of row upon row of organdie frills, joined to a plain short - waisted bodice of silk taffetas to match. Pastel shades predominated, and a practical touch was given to the little dresses by the introduction of snapfasteners all round th© junction of skirt and bodice, so that the latter might outlast several of the more ephemeral skirt portions. An ingenious suit for a young lady of some four or five summers consisted of a smock-frock of white crepe de chine, over which might be worn, for the street, a pleated skirt of navy blue repp, attached to a belt of the same material, and so arranged that the pleats did not meet in the front but left visible a panel of the white silk. The belt fastened with buttons so that it was adjusted in a moment. With, this “ensemble” might be worn, or not. according to the weather, a short bolero of the blue material bound j in white silk braid, to form a complete three-piece set. Each frock and suit now made for i the wee person is complete with silken : knickers to match. | " L.G.S.
