Baby Clothes.
Once upon q time, and not 80 very many
years ago. loving fingers prepared the long
slips and robes that constitute the first dress of
an infant; but all this Is changed. The fondest
mother has now but to make out q list and
spend a few hours in selecting the entire outfit,
when her baby is furnished with dainty gar
ments produced in quantities by professional
workers, whose skill and taste attain results
entirely satisfactory. In a word, good mater
ial and trimmings made up into pretty gar
msnis are for sale at prices so moderate that
It 10 ofty-.imes a matter Of economy to buy
them Babies, as Of old, are confined to white
dresses, made with high-necked yokes and
long sleeves, and composed of English and
French nainsook, Lonsdale cambrics and
mulls. The simplest of the little day Slips are
s~ertion and embroidery. Night slips are made
shorter and narrower than are the day slips.
These are usually fashioned without yokes. A
~favorite pattern consists Of three o x-plaits tc
the waist in front and one at the back. The
garment known to the baby world as a robe is

The entire front of a robe usually presents one

finished about the bottom with a deep hounce

chapter might be written in description of cribs
and baskets, so elaborate have these articles
grown within the past few years. Six months
is the age conceded as the correct one for put
ting babies into short clothes, when comes a
charming variety of STYLES and patterns. The
English Mother Hubbard dress, with its tucked
yoke and skirt, finished with tucks and deep
embroidery, is q pleasing model, as are the
little dresses shirred to the yoke aud again at
the knees, with and embroidered hounce below.
The little colore6 dresses worn with white
gam waists, introduced last summer, will be
largely worn BY children one and two years old
this season. Turkey red, light pink and deli
cate shades Of blue and lemon are favorite
oolors for these dresses; the yokes snd sleeves
being of fine cambria, tucked and trimmed
sacks Of the exact shade of the dress. Wraps
are of fine cashmere, will fine embroidery,
ladies' cloth or Gilbert flannel; the preferred
colors being light pink and blue. There are
also very dressy cloaks of surah, trimmed
with Moresque lace. For summer pique will

. pretty style of loose sacque, a modification
Of the Mother Hubbard.
