CHILDREN's DRESSES FOR THE SEASIDE.
You can form a pretty good estimate of
the mother by the manner in which she
dresses her children. No sensible woman
will load down her little girls with rutiles,
plaitings, laces and ribbons. As a rule the
palmer children are dressed the prettier
ans more stylish they look. But let the
material of the dress be the best There is
no economy in buying half-wool goods or
cheap cOttonS. Even if you have to wait a
little longer, buy the best. Poor people,
especially, cannot afford to buy poor So
called cheap goods. The best is always the
cheapest III the end Then make the goods
up simply. 4 little trimming, tastefuliy
and artistically arranged, is all that IS
necessary to give style to our little ones
costumes, making sure in the first place
that they are easy and comfortable, leaving
them at liberty TO move and run about
without restraint.
The latest style of American frOck is
that which is gathered below the waist into
a bag-like puff, with ribbon sash tied at
the side; the top IS cut out into point,
trimmed with strip Of insertion and Dor
der i'll embroidery, and shows an inner
plastron OF finely gagged material; the
skirt is finished by a plated tiounce, or
rather it is entirely formed by it, since it
proceeds from under the sash the sleeves
are finished by deep cuffs OF the same en-
| Droidery as that around the plastron.
Another style is 4 plain, half-Htting
| jacket, finished below the waist by wide
| belt, which cOnceals the heading of deep
| hounce plated with hollow plaits and
forming the skirt The jacket opens in
front with long peaked reyers, and shows
| a plated plastron. The model we saw was
OF beige cashmere, with plastron, belt and
| sleeve-facings of nut-brown surah. The
| hat to match was of beige straw, trimmed
with brown ribbon. 1t can also be made
| Of pale-biue linen, trimmed with daTk-blue
| linen.
Little girls also wear the casaQue frock,
with deep turned-down collar. 1t is fast
| ened down the middle with an cmbroid-
cred edging and is quite plain in front.
From the sides the skirt is gagged at the
back, and it is trimmed all round the foot
with four narrow hounces of unbleached
cambria, embroidered in red cotton. The
collar and cuffs are trimmed with similar
| embroidery.
Even boys wear jackets plated in the
middle of the front and back and fastened
much below the waist with a wide belt.
Some have the front only very finely
plated 50 as to form a plastron, with a
| narrow reyeys fastened down on each side
al M IL.
| bockeIs have come into fashion again, and
| boys wear them with various kinds OF
jackets, up 10 ten and twelve years of age.
As a rule hats for the seaside are eccen-
Iric and ianJastiCal in the extreme, and
those OF the present season are even more
| extraordinary than we are accustomed tC
see them at this time of year. The high
Conical crown is still further heightened by
enormous loops Of ribbon which shoot W
beyond the top of the hat. while an cnOr-
NOUS cluster of field flowers, wheat-ear,
and grasses IS posed in front.
Large sunshades of ecru etamine, en-
broidered in colors and lined with red, ar,
pretty and useful for the seaside. They
have no trimming at all round the edge
bat always a large bow Of red ribbon at
tached to the handle, which IS of olive o
, citr0n wood. Philadelphia Record.
