The short jaunty walking suits will be-
much in vogue this fall and winter. Fall
importations, are already arrived and theory
is Feathers. ~, The value of these airy com.
modities will be enhanced respectively from
fifty to thousand per cent. 6A IN. hlai ldi
' The question Of little t,oys' costumes up
to four or five years old, according to their
height, for some boys year old look quite
year younger, seems satisfactorily settled
with the short pleated skirts and jackets,
with cut out basques, in the Scotch style.
Boys are uniformly thus dressed from two
and half and three yeefs. old to the age
above mentioned. The skirt and jacket.ar
made of brown holland, white or buff pique,
poplin, merino or cashmere. ForVery little
boys, we see the low jacket7bodiee of brown
holland, prettily trimmed with red braid.
A small Picador hat, with straight aigrette
completing the dress. g 73i 10 1i''ris-slii Ji'
The white pique is ornamented with braid
work, in white or black--the woolen mate
rial, merely edged with silk braid and small
silk buttons to match; just in front the
skirt is quite plain, and it is fastened at the
side under large rosettes of the braid or
soutache of the trimming. No petticoats
are worn underneath, but only wide, short
white drawers, which scarcely show under
it, leaving the leg partly bare-for the sock
is short, and scarcely seen above the button
ed kid but. Sucl is the transition dress be-
tween babies short frocks and wide sashes,
aud boys knickerbockers and Blouse or
jacket. 1t is very becoming costume, too,
for little boy. l-o5s n. .r.....,---i.--.. ,..
For little girls we notice extremely pretty
brow holland frocks made in the Princess
shape, and ornamented with braidwork in
white, red, blue or black soutache. This
trimming is partly of plain, and partly of
waved worsted braid. 1t is put on all
round the bottom of the skirt, and in the
shape of an apron in front. The square low
bodice and short sleeves are trimmed to cor
respond. rIii sas ct is'E aa f"T .t=,71
Not only little girls, but young ladies wear
very frequently fchu of the same material
as the dress by way of out-of-door mantle.
These are not quite the Marie Antoinette
fichus of last year, with long lapels tied at
the back; in front they have short hpels,
crossed and passed under the waistband, to
which the point of the fchu at the backfi is
also fastened The latter is ornamented
with bow or loops of ribbon, or of the
same material. - ~ 'fHF 'H iaL
Sashes of the same material as the dress
are generally worn with simple costumes, for
which wide ribbon sash corresponding in
color would be deemed too expensive. These
sashes of the same material are preferable to
black ribbon sashLwhich is not so fash
ionable this year-unless with black dress,
or one with black pattern over white or
colored ground-a favorite style both in
fancy materials and foulard this season.
Bonnets made on purpose for the young
and beautiful, are quite @rial-looking coiff-
ures; delicate flowers forming diadem, a
butterfly or humming bird lowering over
them, anda a lace barb falling at the back or
gracefully fastened upon the bosom with a
flower. Such are the dainty coiffures worn
this summer at the casino or on the beach of
fashionable watering places. e-.H.s
A pretty model of this style is trimmed
with maize-colored ribbon; black agirette
and branch of yellow Scotch roses are paced
in front. Black lace border and lapels. ,-
A tasteful bonnet of a round shape is of
narrow colored straw, lined with crimson
silk; scarf of brown gauze is heightened
into lappets. Upon the bonnet there is a
bunch Of poppies of rich crimson tint,
with trailing branch of furze and foliage
at the back. a... -r
Black lace is, as we have already men
toned, extremely fashionable this summer.
Some are very artistically ornamented with
punches of white currents, a bunch of the
current tree.

ornamental fringe. b.
