universally made with a vest front as are those
for older persons. Outside garments are both
short and long. The long eacque usually has .

THE LITTLE ONES
white is still the prevailing dress even in the
coldest weather, and in wen,heated houses, with
proper underclothing, is the prettiest, and is
Sufficiently warm. FIeecy piques and plain
ones trimmed with nansook rufaes, are the ma
terials used. The sash is usually carried from
the left side to the right shoulder, and tied
there with long ends. The hair falls loose, and
is held in place BY ribbon. The style of cut
ting the hair straight across the forehead, so
conspicuous in all the Gainsborough portraits,
has obtained somewhat, but not to 60 great IN
extent with the children as with their mammas,
who have banged their hair in the dressing-
room, while the little ones have banged their
heads in the nursery. Wa1king-coats are made
Of velvet. fur, and Cashmere,-th latter some
times elaborately embroidered. Velvet coats
have satin facings, and, with the Cashmeres,
are made with plated backs, instead Of being
gored. They just show the lower rufle Of the
dress. Normandy caps arc comfortable
additions to the wardrobes of the little ones.
