A Pretty Serge Frock.
A style which is always pretty and becoming for girls of any age from, say, four to ten, is the one shown by our artist, bodice and skirt being, of course, permanently joined together, as the adjustment of connecting waistbands is not desirable in the case of active little people who want perfect freedom of movement.
Such a dress could be made in white or blue serge with a collar embroidered—respectively—in blue or white, and' it would also be a good plan to have one or two detachable collars of embroidered lawn or linen to give variety and freshness to the little dresses which for the warm weather could be copied in linens, as this is certainly one of the eases—and costumes—in which you cannot have too much of a good thing!
With blouse of “fine” Irlande lace under the stylish eorross-over bodice. The hat is slightly tilted to show the velvet lining, and is wreathed with leaves and tinted fruit.
