Cllildren's Summer Suits and Dresses.

Sailor hats of straw are the correct
thing for country wear for little folks of
both sexes.
Little boys Newmarket coats, made
of plaids and checks, are given q mas
culine effect by slashing them up the
back.
Little boys suits frequently consist of
three pieces, the jacket, the waistcoat,
and the short trousers or knee breeehes.
For infants are inviting little French
caps of tucked muslin, with leather
stitching and lace. Those with curtains
are the newest.
The new pompons for children's hats
are large, very silky. and have tuft of
chenille coming from the center. They
come in all shades.
New York now boasts a Liliputian
bazaar, devoted entirely and exclusively
to the interests of children, from babies
a day old to boys, girls, misses and
youths of sixteen.
If the pretty pink ginghams now so
much worn by children are dipped in
water with enough vinegar in it to give
it sour taste, the pink will be brighter
than if rinsed in water alone
Little girls hats often have the high
crown and broad brim of garnet or dark
blue. Bands of velvet, the color Of the
brim, encircling the crown, make it
very pretty trimming.
Mother Hubbard frocks for little girls
are seen with the yoke and skirt in con-
trasting colors, or, in wash goods, with
a yoke blouse in one color, and skirt in
another.
Boys from twelve upwards affect the
style of their fathers, and the lad with
his first long pants, regular vest, sack
coat, shirt front. collar, tie, Derby hat
and cane, out for promenade, is as
distinguishable among the many as our
handsome President.
Something very new in the small
.sMarinier suit for little girl. 1t is
over a plain lining. 1t consists of q
small plaited skirt with loose chemise
and large open collar. The lining is
generally of light quality Of silk or of
Scotch batiste.
1t is difficult to say what material
will be most worn by chill rem. All the
fabrics used by ladies are allowed, such
as light veilings, either plain or embroid-
cred, with tiny flowers, handsome
woollen fabrics brocaded with immense
flowers or ornaments, striped or checked
glazed silks, and rich brocades.
Jerseys in dark and light co.ors will
be much used by children. Pretty suits
are of wooden goods with stripes of red
and blue, red and brown, white and
red, etc. The skirts are plated or ar
ranged like flounce over a plain skirt.
Over this is jersey buttoning down
the back. 1t falls over the skirt and
has its lower part covered by scarf Of
the same goods or of ribbon.
The white suits for boys of three and
FIVE years are made OF pique or cotton
corduroy. A pretty style for the latter
is plaits back and front, the dress
closed by concealed buttons. A yoke
to which the skirt is attached does away
with the clumsiness the plaits would
cause, a deep collar edged with en-
broidery covering it. The piques many
of them have needlework inserted, SIM
ulating > Jacket, and are finished with
pockets, collar and cuffs edged with
needlevork.
The fashion for dressing children is
more than ever graceful and useful, of
fering perfect freedom of action and
easily Numbered materials, such as
chambery embroidered with cotton, the
white seersueker lawn, the cool and
pretty linen dies Indies, satines and Scotch
ginghams- The Virginia costume is
one of many others with simplicity OF
design and adaptability to any OF these
materials. The skirt has two gathered
founces headed by puff, and the
plated body is attached to yoke,
which is made, for light summer fab
ric, of lace tuckings, shirred tucSings,
embroidery or cluster tuckings.
Most becoming bonnets for little girls
are those in red, pink, blue and cream
null. They have tucked and shirred
crowns made over square frames, with
curtain and brim finish of silk embroid-
cred null. Inside the dainty lace ruch-
ings or lace quilting surrounds the
sweet face like cap, the bonnet being
tied under the chin by ribbon strings
and finished on outside top and in back
with cluster of loops, or large ro-
settle bow. Other pretty specimens,
made on the same plan, are in very
sheer material and are finished with
oriental lace instead of the embroidery,
border.-BostoB Globe.
