Geometric look is popular

with fashionable young set |

" Little girls are emerging this spring with a fashion code all their own. They prefer the Gran- ny, Western and geometric looks that their mothers and ‘older sis- ters do. But these trends have been adapted to suit the tastes and figures of little girls. Coats, dresses and. dress and eoat costumes with sophisticat- girls a refined, lady- like look. Spring coats are an important \ fashion item this spring, thanks “toa comparatively early Easter.

The geometric, sculptured look so popular with big girls is a favorite of little ones, too. The ‘Bo- waistline. and low waistline styling and short, short skirts make these styles naturally be- coming to ‘the younger wom- an.”

~ GRANNY HAS DAY

‘Granny is having her day with long and short versions of the granny gown, beruffled and be- trimmed with eyelet lace.

The long granny is still ‘‘what to-wear’’ when lounging, playing or sleeping, but it has been re- placed by the shorter granny for street wear. Two old— new sleeve styles returned with the granny, gown, the lantern and leg of mutton sleeve.

The “grannies” are popular alike, each had its own special

England has returned to the Colonies with a new fashion con- ception .for. little girls- the London or Piccadilly- look. It in- cludes empire waists and over- blouse looks, ruffles and lacy trims: and unusual combinations of soft heather and pastels and eggshell shades.

SPORTSWEAR AMUSES

Spring’s sportswear styles for little girls are amusing and play- lifornia and surfer looks are the ‘‘in’’ styles.

Girls love cowboy pants, in- cluding hip-hugger, stovepipe and garrison style in denims and stretch fabrics.

“California Girls’’ have mi grated all over with bell bottom pants, rib ticklers, ruffled and granny look blouses in wild; rio- tous contrast colors and the ever- popular nautical colors.
