MISSES' COSTUME. Dark red foulard and all-over lace are used for this handsome costume, with silk guimpe to trim
the waist portions.
The blouse waist which forms part of the costume consists of a fitted lining overlaid by a round yoke, and having tucked
full body portions attached in a novel and attractive manner, their fulness* at the waistline being confined by shirring. The
one-seamed sleeve has a two-seamed lining; it is finished by a deep cuff and is surmounted by a one-seamed cap sleeve.
A standing collar completes the neck edge, and the closing of the waist is made at the back. The skirt consists of a slightly
gathered circular upper portion tucked at the lower edge and lengthened by a flounce.
Misses' costume can be made in four sizes from fourteen to seventeen years. The fifteen-year size requires eight and one-half
yards of twenty-two-inch material, or four and five-eighths yards forty-four inches.

GIRLS' TUCK-SHIRRED DRESS. Flowered organdie is used for this dainty little dress, with lace flouncing for
trimming, and white organdie for the guimpe.
The waist is mounted on a fitted lining, and the outer portions are gathered at the upper and lower edges, the former being
outlined by the shirred drop-shoulder bertha. The one-seamed puff sleeves are completed by a band, and to the lower
edge of the body portions is attached the shirred straight skirt. The guimpe is fitted by under-arm and shoulder seams, and is
shirred at the waistline. The neck is completed by a standing collar or frill, and the one-seamed bishop sleeves by
wristbands.
Girls' dress can be made in eight sizes from five to twelve years. The nine-year-size requires four and three-eighths yards of
material thirty-six inches in width.
