Children's Rompers

   The most practical dress for the child's playtime is a pair of rompers, and the ones shown in No. 8296 are especially good for very young children, as the back shows a gore-shaped section which may be opened downward.

   The romper-pattern, No. 8296, is cut in sizes for 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 years. To make the rompers in the 3-year size will require 1-7/8 yards of 36-inch material. All sizes require piecing in 27-inch material.

Boys' Rompers

   The newest idea in rompers suggests the familiar Oliver Twist suits. No. 8315 has straight trousers which are rather high-waisted. They are cut in broad, shallow scallops at the top and button on to the waist.

   The romper-pattern, No. 8315, is cut in 3 sizes for 2, 4, and 6 years. To make the rompers in the 4-year size will require 1-1/8 yards of 36-inch, with 1-1/4 yards of 36-inch contrasting goods for waist.

Girls' One-Piece Dress

   The most striking feature of this dainty lingerie dress, No. 8286, for the junior girl, is the new-style yoke which extends over the sleeves in drop-shoulder effect. Two outlines are given for the yoke, one with tabs at front and back, giving it the shape of a cross, and the other with the tabs cut off so that the yoke is square. The dress has square neck, and may be made with either long or short sleeves. The rest of the dress is made of deep flouncing, with an inverted plait under each arm.

   The girls' dress-pattern, No. 8286, is cut in sizes for from 4 to 12 years. To make the dress in the 8-year size will require 2-3/4 yards of 24-inch flouncing, with 2-1/8 yards of insertion, 1 yard of edging, and 3 yards of ribbon.

Girls' Dress

   Just a little bit more distinctive than the usual gingham dress is the style of No. 8274. The short waist suggests a bolero, as it has no gathers. The side-plaited skirt is in one piece with the front panel, which extends up to the neck. A slash in the middle of the panel allows plenty of room for the head to slip through.

   The girls' dress-pattern, No. 8274, is cut in sizes for from 6 to 12 years. To make the 8-year size will require 3 yards of 36-inch, with 1/4 yard 36-inch contrasting goods.

Girls' Jumper-Dress

   It looks as though a man's waistcoat was the original of this design, No. 8292. The little straight pockets and the deep-cut in front, to show the shirtwaist, carry out the idea. The back is also cut very deep and fastens with three buttons. The guimpe is separate and has a broad sport collar. You may choose either style of sleeve, the long or the short.

   The jumper-dress-pattern, No. 8292, is cut in sizes for from 6 to12 years. To make the jumper in the 8-year size will require 2-3/8 yards of 36-inch material. For the guimpe 1-1/2 yards of 36-inch material.

Children's Coat

   It is really a reckless extravagance to buy coats for children readymade, when they may be made so much cheaper and prettier, with a good pattern and a little patience. Design No. 8281 is very easy to make, as the plain yoke is stitched on to a straight one-piece gathered skirt. The lower edge of the yoke may be made with or without the tabs.

   The children's coat-pattern, No. 8281 is cut in sizes for from 2 to 10 years. To make the coat in the 8-year size will require 3 yards of 36-inch material.
