The democrat. [volume] (Weston, W. Va.) 1868-1874, 1872-06-10

Some OF the prettiest Summer novel;
ties are designed for the little folks.
The daintiest of chapeaux, the smallest
Of shoes for Cinderella feet, and the air.
lest dresses for the small fairies, meet MS
everywhere. As much time and expense
ore now layished upon little Daisy's
dress MS upon her mammals, and as for
Master Louis, he is MS particular about
the set Of his coat and breeches, us fas.
tidious about the color Of his tie, and
the style Of his hat, as is his elder brother,
who has arrived to the dignity Of swal-
low.tails and black cylinders.
A little boys suit is now m exnct copy
Of mans coat, vest and pantaloons, all
corresponding in color.
Very small boys, from three to five
years Of age, wear the kilt-suits OF dark
blue cloth, or Of bli ok velvet with plaid
skirts. In these suits the coat and vest
are made the same us for older boys, the
skirt being worn instead Of pants. The
skirt should measure three yards around.
A broad box plait is placed in front, and
smaller plaits are laid turning toward
the neck. Two rosettes Of black ribbon
are placed upon the front plait. Wide
linen collars edged with narrow ruflle
are worn with these suits.
A suit for Il boy OF seven is made Of
light.brown tricolor. The pants are short,
reaching below the knee. The coat is
open ever n white vest. A rather vide
linen collar is turned down over pink
tie, White straw hat with brown ribbon
band.
A dress for child Of three years is
made of white cashmere. The skirt is
laid in box-plaits, and trimmed little
above the bottom by band OF cashmere
four inches wide, which is braided and
set in with black braid. The waist is
cut low square and has short pulled
sleeves. The neck is finished with II
trimming to match that upon the skirt
A belt, also red, is braided and has short
lappels ut the back. A white plaited
waist Of white muslin high in the neck,
and with long sleeves Is worn beneath
the waist Of the dress.
A dress Of blue silk for little girl has
n deep hounce upon the bottom Of the
undcrskirt. Over this the skirt descends
in deep points, which are bound with
the Same. The polonaise is made plain
apd prettily lOoped with bows Of broad
ribbon ut the back. In front II opens
over chomisette OF pulled lace, and is
fastened with silk straps, which are set
ON with blue buttons. White chip hat
trimmed with blue ribbon and short
white plume, and blue, buttoned shoes,
are to be worn with this dress.
Nothing can be prettier for childrcns'
toilettes than white, and nothing is moro
fashionable. White dresses for little
girls arc trimmed with needlework-
some, made Of pique, are very hand
somely braided-and others, Of Swiss,
are elaborately made Of puffs and bands
Of inserting and lace, and worn over tiny
slips Of blue or pink silk. Muny Of the
toilettes prepared for the little folks, who
are expected to spend their Summer at
the watering places, are rs costly and rs
elegantly made as though Miss was
already setting out upon heart-breRk-
ing tour in which she was not to be
eclipsed by the bellies Of mAturer age,
But, while beautiful child, beauti-
fully dressed, is pleasure to all eyes,
mothers should not forget the comfort
and happiness of their little darlings.
The dread Of soiling fine wardrobe Is a
serious detriment TO youthful sport /; and
child who is deprived Of play lest it
injure its clothes, is real mattyr to
fashion.
