so says Madame DemOrest. Wooden
goods are comparatively cheap, FASH
ion IS not arbitrary, and requires a
very small amount Of material. \
pretty ana useful dress can be made
out Of Scotch plaid material, trimmed
with narrow plated f1unc5s for the
I larger girls; with rows Of alpaca braid
! for smaller ones. They are made
/ high-necked, lOng-sleeved, and gOred
plain. The material costs about fifty
cents a yard. Two such dresses are
sufficient for school wear, for an entire
! season, and they are not worn out, as
/ they wear very clean and are dura-
bic. They may be made much more
/ dressy by a binding and trimming OF
/ black velvet, or for the older child by
a little pdniered OveTdresS Of black silk
or black alpaca. Straight bretenes of
rutfled silk or lace are now added in
/ stead of low bodice to the miniature
skirts Of silk, worn by little girls upon
/ dressy occasions, over party dresses OF
white muslin or scarlet merinO. All
wool delaine, by the way, answers
Just the same purpose as merinO, and
is cheaper.
7 Opera flannel in scarlet and white,
or blue and white is much used for
little boys suits, the dress being gen
erally cut q id Gabrielle, SeOllOped
out round the bottom, round the neck
and short sleeves, and bound with
I silk braid, the sack lined with white
/ flannel, and having a cape attached,
which may be worn or removed at
/ pleasure. Cape and sack are scUlloped,
and bound, of course, to match the
dress. Rows Of silk braid may be
added, following the line of the scoi-
lOps. White looks better upon the
! cOlors mentioned than any other. \
pretty little dOuble-breasted coat for Il
( boy is made Of brown velvet cloth.
/ The points OF a little black velvet col
lar, lined with silk, are turned down
in front, and the garment is trimmed
with diagonal strips of black velvet
placed all the way down the front and
upon the wrist, and finished upon
either end with small crochet buttons.
A low DriJtceSSe dress for i little girl
of three 10 five is made Of spotted all
wool delaine, and trimmed with bands
of striped silk round the sleeves and
across the shoulders. This band out
lines the square at the back, and De-
scends in pointed ends upon the sides
of the skirt in front, where il is fin
ished by tassels. Round the bottom
of the skirt are three striped bands,
spaced half width between. Scotch or
scarlet hose and high boots are as
fashiOnably worn this season as last.
Little drawers are made for warmth
OF Canton flannel and tucked or rutiied
cambria bands added, of sufficient
depth TO prevent the flannel from
showing, particularly az the drawers
are worn just below the knee.

or seven consists of vest, jacket, knick-
erbockers and leggins of gray cloth,

Round cloaks or BrdOuinS Of
checked flannel or scarlet wool, are
very useful for girls of from six to if
teen years Of age. They are generally
made with a hood, aud are prettily
trimmed with pigked-out rutfieS OF
black silk: but they DO not really
need any trimming AT all, except cord
and tassels. Girls water proof clOakS,
