The  Half-crown  Girl. — Most  of  the 
“flapper”  dresses  forwtbe  half-grown  girl 
of  10  to  14  seems  Resigned  for  angles 
rather  than  curves, 'font  there  are  many 
rotund  little  maids  of  over-mature  figure 
who  need  something  different  from  these 
styles.  In  the  first  illustration,  the  fig¬ 
ure  at  the  left  shows  a  serge  dress  that 
will  be  very  becoming  to  the  plump  girl 
who  has  not  yet  shot  up  to  her  full 
height.  It  is  a  one-piece  frock,  skirt  and 
over-blouse  being  attached,  but  the  long 
moyen-age  waist,  piped  at  the  bottom, 
9 
shown  at  the  right,  in  the  same  illustra¬ 
tion.  is  an  excellent  model  for  challie  or 
other  soft  woolen  goods.  There  is  a 
plain  yoke,  buttoned  a  little  to  one  side, 
the  closing  being  in  line  with  a  box  ideal 
that  forms  a  panel  down  the  front,  widen¬ 
ing  a  little  towards  the  bottom.  The 
dress  itself  is  quite  full,  gathered  into 
t lie  yoke,  and  then  shirred  in  by  smock¬ 
ing  to  form  a  rather  long  waist  line. 
The  full  sleeves  are  smocked  at  the  wrist 
and  have  a  little  turn-back  cuff.  The 
model  pictured  was  dark  blue  challie,

looks  like  a  separate  piece.  The  skirt 
has  a  flat  pleated  panel  in  front,  and  is 
gathered  with  three  rows  of  shirring  at 
bade  and  sides.  The  over-blouse  is  a 
straight  jumper,  but  is  fastened  invisibly 
at  the  back,  as  being  more  convenient 
when  attached  to  the  skirt.  The  blouse 
is  cut  out  square,  quite  deeply,  at  both 
back  and  front,  and  the  large  armholes 
are  cut  out  square.  Neck,  armholes  and 
waist-line  are  finished  with  a  heavy  pip¬ 
ing,  either  of  the  material  or  of  self- 
colored  silk.  The  neck  opening  is  then 
smocked  in  orange,  golden  yellow  and 
green ;  the  hat  was  soft  felt,  gold  color 
with  a  dark  blue  band,  and  no  other  trim¬ 
ming.  A  little  dress  of  this  style  would 
he  very  attractive  in  heavy  linen. 
Blouses  and  Skirts.- — In  the  second 
illustration,  the  figure  at  the  left  shows 
a  blouse  of  heavy  crash,  half  bleached  so 
as  to  he  creamy  rather  than  the  deeper 
shade  of  natural  linen.  It  is  a  very  plain 
model  buttoning  at  one  side  with  a  single 
large  button,  the  deep  cuffs  having  an 
overlay  portion  turning  back.  Cuffs,  col-

Blouses  and  Skirts — Three  Seasonable  Models 
finished  with  a  simple  trimming  which 
may  ’be  of  beads,  crewel  or  soutache 
braid  combined  with  silk  embroidery.  A 
gairupe  of  fine  white  nainsook  is  worn 
with  this  dress,  having  long  sleeves  and 
a  round  neck.  The  guimpe  should  be 
made  long  enough  to  come  down  to  the 
waist,  the  hem  having  an  elastic  run 
through  it;  then  there  is  no  danger  of  the 
guimpe  riding  up  under  the  loose  over- 
blouse.  This  dress  would  be  less  becom¬ 
ing  to  a  very  thin  long-limbed  girl  than 
to  a  plump  one,  as  the  large  armholes 
would  make  her  arms  look  longer. 
A  Junior  Frock. — The  little  frock 
lar  and  front  arc  edged  with  blanket 
stitch  in  heavy  delft  blue  cotton,  the 
deep  collar  being  ornamented  by  a  little 
pattern  in  cross-stitch  iu  each  corner. 
The  single  large  pearl  button  used  for 
fastening  is  sewn  on  with  blue  cotton 
stitched  through  the  four  holes  so  us  to 
make  a  blue  square  in  the  center,  the 
large  slanting  buttonhole  being  neatly 
bound  with  blue  linen.  This  makes  a 
very  good-looking  waist  and  a  very  ser¬ 
viceable  one.  Where  the  collar  is  not 
so  deep  as  in  the  model  shown,  the 
blanket  stitch  may  be  used  around  the 
armhole  with  good  effect.  The  skirt
