ChiIdpen,s Fashions.

Simplicity is the ruling feature in chill
dren's toilets. For bona fide little girls
a kilt-pleated skirt, with fancy waist,
forms The latest fashion in an ordinary
toilet. The pleats are laid close together
and firmly fastened. The pleats IN the
sleeves. with cuffs. The favorite ma
terial for this Style Of costumes are
cashmere and light alf-wool goods, COM
ing in various sombre dyes, such as blue,
brown and blush gray. The sash is
made of cloth; a breadth is doubled and
the ends are fringed out, Skirts that are
adorned with ruties come with oversight
and half basque waist. The overskirt
lis made rather plainly. High, short
shoulders are in vogue.
In making up pleated waists for girls,
linstead of extending the folds or pleats
of the waist portion below the belt, a
unTined, and being well pressed are
| joined to belt, which is strengthened
Ebv crinoline, faced with silk, and neatly
stitched upon the edges. A basque with
simulated vest is a neat and becoming
style to tall girls. Gabrielles are still
very generally worn. Perhaps the latest
styie of chIId's costume Is a skirt OF
wool and silk, with two or three ruf1es;
each ruffie is handsomely embroidered or
scalloped, and bound with velvet.
The basque is cut quite long, and Is
trimmed, to match the skirt. This style

lings, adorned with braids Of mixed gray
and scarlet--the sash of suit fabric, and
/ trimmed to correspond with the dress.
