The Loveliest or Paris Clothes For Children "MORE arid more and more!" Still they come, tumbling out of their foreign packing cases, these exquisite bits of Paris daintiness and charm. Infant's frocks, hand-made of the finesc batiste (this is Pre-War quality and cannot be even approached by what you find today.) They are trimmed with rows of delicate hand-drawn work, yards of real lace, or quantities of finely traced hand embroidery, almost too beautiful to be believed. Sheer little bonnets to match the frocks, and adorable silken coats?hand embroidered like the rest?io top the whole. The wee French girl becomes a young lady betor; s!ie is two years old, and as a result the styles for Miss Two and Six are models of .smartness and distinction that the American Miss can only aspire to. Simple, yes, but with that skilfully planned simplicity that requires mfinite art and centurics of ex perience. See the young lady^n the rod coat. Its lir.es would be almost too severely plain, but the extra full ness comes along and saves the day. She will tell you that great width of skirt is particularly good for the wee tots, coats and wool frocks:?You'll notice it in all the smartest. Her quaint hat is a cross between a poke bonnet and A Dutch cap. Here's a small miss who is wearing the very latest in party frocks? fine Brussels net over a slip of flesh colorcd Georgette. The effect is too sweet for words, particularly with the addition of real Irish iace rose buds, tiny garlands of silk roses, or delicate braided patterns. Isn't her Georgette bonnet a love?She thinks so! Fairly bursting with pride in her model frock this little four year old points to the style notes you must stfrely see?The material, for ex ample, is one of the best this sea son. a soft delightful quality of linen. Striped skirt and basque blouse of gre?n to match the stripes. Then a hat of the same material? Well, who would not be proud? Lattice work for Summer frocks? could anything be sweeter?The answer is given by this crepe de chine frock of shell pink. It's a demure little ribbon that hangs from her small hat. Last the best of all the game?a Georgette crepe frock of fairylikc grace, all the way from its Lanvm neckline to the abiurdiy adorable suggestion of a train wrh its dimi nutive tassel. The hat has a train too- for of course it must match. We haven't even begun to tell you cf the endless fascinations that arc awaiting the small miss ? and master too! There are so many? from crib size down quilts covered widi heavy satin?to pique Oliver Twists and abbreviated hot weather frocks of crispest organdie. They are going to be displayed tomorrow for the first time. FOURTH FLOOR The Whims of Brims In the New Spring Hats THEY'RE as fickle and as hard to follow as the moods of the fair wearers themselves. Now they're up, with a bit of trimming poised peril ously on the brim. Now they're drooping demurely to shade the eyes, and follow the line of the sweeping plume that brushes the rhouldcr. And suddenly there's a brim that tips up and dips down, without rhyme or reason, except that it's more charming that way. Priccs Arc Prevailingly Moderate. FOURTH H.OOR A Corset from Paris HALF is satin, of a delicate shell pink, the other half of this diminutive Paris creation is heavy quality clastic. Really just a girdle, it may be worn as a slip on, for the two-rows of buttons that take the place of the usual hooks need not be unfastened. Silk treco in front and satin in back?such is the composition of a very good model, and an unusual ojie too. Like ail the finer Elente corsets it has a strip of plusl* under the front steel. These are but two of the many and varied styles you w if! find here. If you have a taste for the extreme, )o" must look at the Mack corsets, as well as th< :.c of a pale orchid tint.
