FASHIONS FOR THE CHILDREN.

A FINE SERVICE FOR MOTHERS

“Simplicity and utility should he the 'Keynote of children’s fashions, and one has only to look at the clothes of the little Princess of England to see just how smart simple clothes may he. Gailypatterned little frocks, with tiny puff sleeves and smocking at the yoke are firm favourites of these Royal children, and it was Princess Elizabeth who started that ‘no hat vogue.’ One of the most important items in the child’s wardrobe is a coat, and on its colour will depend largely the little dresses which will he worn under it. Make the coat of light wool, and then the shantung, silk and dimity fro dies will he dainty. Linen tweed will make a very good coat for the warmer weather. I saw a. delightful coat, double-breasted, of linen tweed in buttercup yellow linen. Cults and collar-of white handkerchief linen embroidered with buttercups. With this was Worn a bonnet "of natural straw, which had two tiny bunches of the same flowers tucked beneath its brim on either side.”

The above paragraph is from the November issue of “Everyladv’s Journal.” There is a splendid fashion article in this journal every month, which is a.guide to the woman who wishes to be right-up-to-the-minute with her clothes and accessories. Special Centenary articles, delightful and well-illus-trated stories, dainty Tatting and Crochet-work are only a few of the attractions which “Everylady’s Journal” for November contains.

The publishers have decided that from the November issue “Everylady’s Journal” shall be increased by eight pages, and the price will remain the same —sixpence; and for that small sum readers get very varied and excellent reading.
