Box-PLArrED BLOUSE.


Box-PLATTED BLOUSE.
The box-plaited blouse is the most
fashionable design this season for chill
dren's pique dresses, and may also be
made OF muslin, of linen, either pale or
striped, or else Of wool cloths. Ii ise of
very simple shape, consisting of but two
breadths of pique, with skirt and waist
in one. Three box-plaits, each two
inches wide, or wider, are laid in the
back and in the front. These plaits are
sewed and pressed fatty as far as the
sash or belt, and are merely pressed in
the skirt, just as kilt skirts are; or it
may be well to tack them on the wrong
side halfway down the skirt, to prevent
them from faring open too far The
sash is worn quite low down on the hips.
When q belt is used it Is made of pique.
trimmed with braid, Is buttoned in front,
and is fastened to the blouse by a strap
OF braid in the back or else under the
arms. Wide belts shaped to the figure
are on the newest blouses; some of these
are three or four inches broad, are yerv
much trimmed, and have loops and
streamers behind. The blouse fastens
under the middle box-plait in front.
The sleeve is of simple coat shape, with
cGf, or else merely trimming set on
around the wrist. A large collar, either
OF Byron or of sailor shape, is added to
such blouses. The collar and cuffs have
braid and edging, and double rows of
braid pointed below are placed on the
waist between the box-plaits. Gray, blue
and brown French cloths of pure wool,
but OF very light quality, are made up In
tnese little blouses for winter dresses
They are entirely plain, or else yery
simply trimmed with rows of braid
Shepherds plaid in tiny checks of black
ana white make pretty blouses for little
boys.
! THE GABRIELLE DRESS. sttA
The newest Gabrielle dresses button in
front, and have square pockets behind.
The dress outlines the figure, and hangs
loosely, or may be confined 10y a sash.
Pique is preferred for gabrielles, but
they are also made of soft French main
sock and other sheer muslins; many
mothers who do not object to colored
dresses use this pattern for percales, cam
orlc, linen lawn, gingham and other use
ful materials. Lengthwise rows of in
sertion and braid trim pique gabrielles,
and the skirt is edged with an oil
cred ruff" Tie YOKE SLIP.
The most universally popular dress for
children is the yoke slip, full dress that
NAV be worn loose and flowing from the
shoulder, or else with sash. Many
.e-.lara hers make thSentire outfit OF short
| dresses by inns PoeN0-- II is always
made of muslin or other soft, light goods,
as it is too full for thick pique. This
slip has usually two widths, each about
a yaro wide at the bottom, sloping mar
rover toward the arm-holes. The yoke
is nearly straight, front and back, and is
square across the arms. An embroid-
cred ruffie sewed in the edge of the skirt,
with clusters of tiny tucks and rows of
insertion above, trims these nainsook
slips prettily. The yoke is then made of
lengthwise pufs with rows OF insertion
between; the coat-sleeve has little cuff
of tucks, insertion and edging.
CHnD's LONG sACQUB.
The long sacque is the fashionable
wrap for small children. 1t has the sim
ple, stylish French back with seam
down the middle, and no side forms, but
the side seams are placed so far back
that they give the effect of English bod
les. The long front is buttoned below
the waist, and thence slopes away
toward the aides The trimming 80 put
on in front to outline shorter Jacket,
and thus gives the appearance of long
, Continental vest underneath; indeed, in
many garments, the fronts are doubled
and the lower part is a bona tide vest.
The middle seam of the back is left open
below the waist, is Tapped, there, held
by a single button, and Is trimmed with
two narrow, scant ruffies of embroidered
muslin headed by pique braid. The
: trimming extends straight down the
! front each side of the buttons, crosses
below the waist, and passes upward
into the side seam. A narrow ruftle Oh
. a sailor collar trims the neck. The but
