Whatever the reason, it's evi- dent that clothes for young girls are being designed for them alone and are not faithful copies of those worn by their mothers. And this completes the break with tradition. For from the earliest times | to the 19th century, children were dressed as junior editions | of their parents, Little Greek} girls wore togas. In medieval | days children were preighed| down in satins and velvets. Even toddlers wore dresses reaching almost to the ground, | the belief being that it was not | seemly for any proper female--| adult or child--to show her legs. HAD OWN HATS The only concession to youth | in medieval Europe was in| headgear. When women wore elaborate wimples and pyramid- style affairs complete with floating veils, their young daughters were permitted mere- fy to gather their loose hair into snoods or, later, under chaplets of fresh flowers, But duringthe high-waisted Empire era of Napoleon even little | irls wore the fashionable poke | nnets, In the 19th century long pan- taloons appeared, worn by mother and daughter, Leg-of- mutton sleeves looked absurd on little girls but they couldn't @scape them, More and more layers of Btarched petticoats were added tinder dresses, Crinolines be- came so large they had to be Supported by whalebone, but the young ladies meekly wore them, Te When crinolines disappeared iH was back to corded silk petti- ®oats and, of course, ankie- fength skirts. ' Even the bustle was imitated in young styles with large bows on the back of skirts. But by mow skirts had reached mid- calf, And underneath were striped, later white, stockings and black shoes, NEW DEAL But at least by this time there were murmurings of a better deal for children, Fash- ton writers and mothers began fo acknowledge the need for more comfortable clothing, specially for little children. Color, too, had begun to appear BROILED CHIEKN WITH / FRENCH DRESSING 2 quick frozen chicken; partly thawed 244 tablespoons French dressing salt Pepper Paprika 2 tablespoon chopped parsley Separate pieces of chicken, brush with about one-third of the French dressing, and sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.

For dessert, ice cream and a cake inscribed in honor of the | sequent emphasia on dark, heavy fabrics. The first glimmer of fashion for the adolescent appeared to- ward the end of the 19th cen- tury. Little girls--but not their mothers--wore straw hats with elastic bands under their chins. Children's fashions became important enough to be dis- played in women's magazines. Skirts for young girls crept up until they were just under- neath the knees. Dresses were still over - embroidered and founced, however, and there wasn't a sign of. simplicity, Right up to the First World War, youthful clothes were ex- travagantly impractical, Satin coats with lace collars covered white lawn dresses with lace frills and tucks, After the war, teen-age girls then known as flappers--took over and a new set of fashion rules came into yvouge. Mothers tried to look like their young daughters, PERMITTED COMFORT Girls now were permitted to wear comfortable, practical clothing suited to their newly- won freedom in sports. Chil- dren's clothes were still not hegh fashion. For most the middy and skirt became a uni- form, Skirts didn't move higher or lower at the dictate of adult fashion, A few years ago there was a revival of the mother-and- daughter look, Clothes were designed as look-alikes im the same style and fabric for mop- pet and mom.
