A BewilderiDg Array of Fall Garments
for ChiIdrea as Well as Adults.
If i; il only of recent years that women
have their clothes made by tailors, still
more novel is the variety and brilliancy o.
the modes ard materials which fashion
provides for children. This season she hal
Tot only sent them an immense assortment
in beautiful goods for suits, wraps, pretty
hats and bonnets, but there is sn unusual
supply of new models to make these charm,
ing materials. The Greenawsy and Crotch
en- dresses possess all the practical points
Of the plain Princess style, in go far q:
they conduce to the healthful development
of youthful forms. Beside this, they are
very quaint and artistic. and pretty child
so attired might serve as model for the
most ambitious artist. The fall skirts and
short waists with sashes tied in large bows
at the back, and quaint little cloaks with 9
full skirt sewed to the plain round waist
much like those worn thirty years sgo, and
broad-brimmed hats and poke bonnets are
so very becoming to most Of our children
that mothers are not likely to abandon
them.
Wooden fabrics of most kinds are very
popular for children, ladies' cloths and
large figures being excepted. The various
striped and plsided goods are especially
suited to their uses, and are effective made
made up of themselves or combined with
plain fabrics. Velvet, velveteen and plush
will be used for dress suits and for outer
garments for children of all ages.
Trimmings are in variety OF kinds
braids being much used, although bands Of
velvet ribbon, contrasting goods, wool lsces
and embroideries are popular, and for the
winter fur bands will be found very hand
some for trimming the little velvet coat OF
street suits.
A charming model for girls from A to 6
years is shown 10 plush, brown, cut in
sacuue fronts, small dart taken under
each arm, while the back shows curVing
centre seam sprung out below the waist
line aud carried to the lower edge OF the
garment. Buttons and button holes close
the front the entire length.
Jacket fronts are suggested by band
of fur placed around the neck, down each
side of the front. reaching below the pocket
flaps which should be placed upon the
waist line and turned around the poke;
flap at the under arm seam. Upon the
back seam at the waist line is bow and
ends of broad ribbon matching the color
Of the plush The cuffs are formed by a
baud of the fur. A coat of this kind is
costly if bought ready made, but if the
mother has tact and taste in finishing such
a garment, che can secure materials and
&c! it up much cheaper at home. Of course
ii might rot be lined all ,hroug b with such
expensive satin, and the fur trimming may
cost more; but there are kinds to select
and materials to use that do Just as we'll for
those who are careful with their pennies.
A wise woman lately said she did not
intend to spend everything her husband
gave her now for pin money to dress her
children with, because the neighbors' chill
dren appeared so finely clad; she prefer
red 10 save something ard help him pay
for their house, and when that was done
her children would be older and know
better how to take care of their clothes A
man that ia prudent himself with such a
wifs need not be many years paying for a
little home, and no matter how plain the
exterior may be. the iuterior will be q para,
disc.
