BOYS CLOTHING.
Harper's Bazaar says: Boys from
four 10 seven years of age wear
kilt suits with very full plested skirts and
jackets that are shaped into the figure more
closely than those worn by larger boys. The
sDgle.breasted Jacket is fastened by five
buttons, and is cut away below. 1t has
patch pockets on the sides, slit for breast
pocket, ard has no collar, as il is 10 be worn
with large linen collar either round or in
sailor shape. The side pleats of the kilt are
narrower than they have been Of late, and
the front wide space may be trimmed in
cross rows OF braid either OF silk or mohair.
For beat suits are vslveteens, or else diago
psl or corkscrev cloths, in very dark blus,
brown, green, or dahlia shades, or black.
Straight lines of braid OF two widths may
follow the edges of the lower part of jackets
of these suits, and extend up two side seams
with curves at the top, while in front they
are in crosswise rows in military style. For
every day suits there are Scotch Cheviots,
checked English cassimeres, and French
cloths IN fancy plaids, with some plain COL
oIed tWilIs that are either drab, gray, brown,
or ether Q1iet color, with fst braid bindings
and no other ornaments. Small short trous-
ers OF the material are used with the kilt
skirts OF larger boys, bll drawers are pre-
ferred with the fret kiit skirts, and the kilt
must be quite long, SO that only the dark
stockings ale seen above the bntt0ned shoes.
Shirt waists are worn by boys until they ere
eleven reals Of age, and these have wide
liIen collar that comes over the Jacket, six
or eight tucks or box pleats in front and
back, and belt which is sewed on outside
an eighth Of yard above the edge, on which
are eight butisns corresponding to eight but
tonbOles inside the belt of the kilt. Long
black. brown or blue ribbed stockings and
buttoned or laced shoes without heels are
worn by these little fellows. A large c0lOred
cravat bow is worn, and is held in place by
an elastic that passes under the collar. Polo
caps and Jockey caps with visors and
round crown of six cores with a button in
the center are made OF the velveteen or cloth
of their suits. Overcoats to wear with kilt
suits are very leng Newmarket shapes reach
ing below the calf. They are double breasted,
and buttoned to the neck with two collars,
the upper collar of velvet and the second one
of the cloth of the coat. They are made of
plain castor beavers. OF brown, blue or dahlis
shades.
SUITS WITH SHORT TROUSERS.
Suits with short trousers put on boys seven
or eight years of age are made of rough
Scotch goods in Cross bars of gray, blue aud
stylish yellow brown shades, also French
cassimeres of blue-green checks, and Scotch
homespuns that have q melapge OF colors
and very rough surface. Belted blouses
are stylish for such suits. and are made with
two or three box pleats In front and back.

with eyes on the outside seam at its end.
For the smallest boys these trousers open on
the sides, while for larger boys they are but
toned in front. Jackets to wear with the
first short trousers gre made similar to
those worn with kilt skirts, that is, they are
single breasted, and have two back forms
with a dart beginning In the armholes, but
the back forms are straighter, so as to fit
closely to the figure. At the rye of nine
years boys attain the dignity of vests, and
their jackets have a marrow rolled collar
which may be plain, or else faced with silk;
the edges of such jackets are bound, but the
sleeves are mercy stitched; the pockets
have flaps. The vests have no collars, and
the trousers are plain, unless q broad stripe
of braid is down the outside seam. Their
long Newmarket overcoats of the stylish
yellow brown cloths have the short waist de-
fined by two buttons, and are open below
these down the middle OF the back. Pea
jackets are worn by boys from seven to
