are still made, however, with princesse
fronts and backs as far down as the hips,
where kilt rleating is set in the back. and
q sash is used to cover the join; the sash

Repped piques are preferred to all others,
and the trimmings are embroideries and
Smyrna lace.
Fine twilled WOODS and basket woven
stuffs in colors are now imported for chill
dren's dresses in light qualities that are
not warmer that pique, and do not soil SO
easily. These are made up in the prin-
cesse styles and the Breton dresses, with
all the weight suspended from the shoul-
ders, and in one piece, SO that the skirt
cannot be always separating from the
body, nor is the little figure confined by
the belt. Newer still than these is the
fancy just imported from Paris of making
these dainty woolens up in the simple
box pleated sacques described above for
cambria and bingham dresses, and finish
ing them with the inevitable Spanish
flounce. The upper part, which comes
| In nearer contact with the body. Is lined
throughout with soft white muslin. The
neck, sleeves and founce are trimmed
with Smyrna insertion and lace, either all
white or partly colored; the insertion, as
| well as the lace, is laid plainly on the
colored goods without gathers, and is
more effective thus than when edging il
merely, or when the material is cut away
beneath the insertion Cream-color, rose.
tilleul, pale blue, and navy blue wool
dresses are made in this way. Garments
similarly made, but slightly shorter, are
used for wraps or walking coats, with
white dresses showing beneath. There
are also shorter Breton sacques of these
wooden goods made gay with braids and
strings of buttons. These have square
collars and square pockets.
With the first short clothes are worn
close cottage caps of plain white muslin,
made over white or coloIed silk Innings,
and trimmed with insertions and edgings
