FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATION.
LITTLE MISS 2 TO 12.
CHOOSES HER SUMMER WARDROBE.
From early morning to late even- ing the young generation has an even chance to be fashion wise! For at last she is an important little personage who need not just wear anything or be content with Big Sister's east-offe.""
Definite styling has gone into the formerly hard ii-between ages and has left mothers with helpful equipment to have small daughters smartly dressed. I sometimes be- lieve our monthly magazines do- serve great deal of this credit. for Editors of late constantly are on the lookout for new fabrics and quaint styles that add that coveted touch of youthfulness to younger ages. Not only are they looking for these but they, in turn, devote whole pages of each issue to pictur ing and talking about them.
Fortunately chic little fashions need to be no more expensive. In fact our surveys show they are de- cidedly less. It was a matter of taking time out to give attention to good patterns and correct com. binations. That done, we start to reap the benefits."
Daytime Wear,
The sheer cottons for summer; forefast definitely for grown-ups play an important role for kiddies. The floral prints and tiny dots the i sheperd checks and shadow plaids all lend themselves to the smaller garments of under twelve. Colour contrast, so important as 1930 trend, seems almost made for the little girl whose growing years re- quire a decided note for distinc- tion.

If she is of this latter type she must avoid colours that emphasise her dark skin and make her complexion look swarthy.

There are tenes, however, that will keep her skin, a good rich colour and will form a suitable background for her interesting skin tint.
