The season has
those who are interested in juvenile
clothes the fact that the youngsters
are sometimes well in the lead with
new fashions and that their elders
stumble along after them.
Once upon a time, when the world
was young and cruel, it considered it
correct for children to be encased in
bones and costumed in brocade and
metal, heavy embroideries, long skirts
and stiffly-pointed bodices, It was
cruel to make youth the resemblance
of age, Today we make age the re-
semblance of youth. In that ies our
virility, our enthusiasm and our sane
ity. The children lead the way in
belts around hips, short sleeves,
smocked blouses, bobbed hair, socks,
low-heelod shoes, straight lines and
uncorseted figures. Their mothers,
and sometimes thelr grandmothers,
imitate them.

parade of fashions with interest, for
