BABY'S FIRST SHORT DRESS.
As baby grows older short dresses
will be required, and the little gar-
ments pictured here will give comfort
and make baby charming. It doubles
the life of a garment when you make
it yourself, and gives the chance of
expressing individuality. A little
round yoke was used to make this
simple dress fit smoothly at the neck,
and is trimmed with a spray of em-
broidery. The neck and sleeves are
finished with narrow Valenciennes
lace. The gertructe petticoat buttons
on the shoulders, and is also trimmed
with lace. The little straight skirt
is cut in at the sides and gathered to
the upper part, making a smooth -fit-
ting garment. The tong kimono is per-
forated for shorter length, and is
lovely trimmed with ribbon and fancy
stitching. The plainest of night -robes
has long sleeves, and no frills to keep
baby awake. The dress requires t
