II Il difficult to tell nowadays where
the fashions for dresses for women and
chi'drn begin and end. The materials
for the latter are not as costly and clc-
CANT as for their elders. but the variety
Of trimmings used. and in many in-
stances the complicated draperies So
lected compete favorably with what
should BE- the more elaborate gowns Of
their mammas. Il Is difficult matter TO
arrange suitable costumes for girls OF
fifteen and seventeen years. They
should not be as elaborate as those Of
their elder sisters nor a. simple ~
those Of the younger ones. To hit the
happy medium Is often . cause of
anxiety and careful consideration. For
younger children simple styles are uni
versally adopted. The days when our
little ones were dressed up 70 look like
duplicates of fashion plates have
passed, and neat and pretty frocks
take the place Of the elaborate confec-
tons in which they were formerly At
tired.
Woolcns OF all kinds are the favorite
choice for general wear for autumn and
winter. Fiannels Of home manufact-
ure take the lead in being both COM
Portable and pretty. These are shown
in great variety Of designs. colors
and shadings. Plaids in al combina-
tions of colors are considered by many
the first choice; next come stripes Of
different STYLES. These are usually
combined with the plain material,
which comes in all the shades Of blue.
brown. garnet gray and green. Cloths
and cheviots OF different qualities and
weights come in very similar styles
and combinations Of coloring. Inch
square Of tan brown, red. olive and
| blue are variously arranged in these
fabrics. Two shades Of q single color
are shown in very narrow striped
! goods. Chartreuse green and pigeons
1 blood ruby are two new col0rs-
| Boucle goods are again to be worn.
| These come in all-over spots or designs
and bayadcre stripes. The latter make
up prettily for little ones, in full skirt
and Moliere in one piece, with a close
bodice of plain material. Red and
brown are the most popular colors,
though red and green, blue and brown,
and blue and red are all used.
Figured goods are used for the skirt
and plastron with long cutaway coats
Of the plain material. Cashmcres
make mp in pretty combination fol
ordinary autumn wear; they are SER
viceable and inexpensive. Striped
angolas are pretty, light weight, soft
and warm. They are to be had in
brown aud white. green and red, blue
and crimson and black and white; fol
autumn wear they make up most ef-
fectiyely, either with or without trim
mings Of the plain color. Persian
lamb trimming, in soft gray anc
black. is much used for bordering
short Jackets, and has rich and silk,
appearance. equal to Astrachan.
