until they put on euimpe Waists, epd IN
deed until they are ten OF twelve yesrs
old, but to show that baby boys are boys,
more boyish looking dresses are put on
| them when they are two and one-half
years old. Thus for boys are one piece
dresses OF pique made with round plaited
! waist snd SKIRT, with much larger plaits
sewed to the waist under q belt. The
front of the waist has q boz plat down
the middle, with six small side plaits on
each side of it. turned down collar,
open in front and back, is trimmed with
linen braid put on in curves. ROWS OF
curled linen braid are across the front
plaits OF the waist and the very large box
plat of the skirt; the remainder Of the
skirt may be either in large kilt plaits or
in box plaits. The belt and the sleeves
i are also braided.
The new Louis QaiDze suits Of pique
for boys three to five yesrs old dispense
| with q separate blouse Of nsinsook, and
have instead q full pulled front (iike Q
Fedora vest) OF all over embroidered
muslin, sewed On the front of the pique
under waist, to which the kilt skirt OF
pique is sewed. The ssiior suit also re-
appears for boys OF three TO FIVE years or
more, made OF pique, either plain white,
or with tiny dots Of blue or red, or with
colored stripes or Cross rows on either
white or buff ground.-[ Harper's Bazaar.
RIBBONS.
Ribbon, about two to three inches wide,
is loop9d at the throat and allowed to fall
very long, caught In at the waist; this is
principally on cotton ard other morning
gowns. Wide ssshes of black MORE are
worn, and look well at the back under
short black Jet and lace msntles. They
are most popular, in sll colors, and so
sre the wide pongee sashes, with both
day and evening gowns. Stripes Of white
popgee silk and lace insertion, divided
with silver cord Tin the piece, or in
black, and also grenadine and lace stripes,
are used for draperies. Striped mate
rails are much cut on the Cross, and
drsped diagonelly. The new shot CANVAS
with borders is extremely fashionable;
so are printed foulsrds and soft silks,
shot satin, with stripes, and also worked
lawns. Shot silk petticosts, with
"pinked" founces, are popular, and, in
deed, shot silk is In every thing and In
the height OF fashion.
COMMENCEMENT DRESS.
white wool for commencement Is
made with full round skirt upon which
is q deep hem with three rows of picot
edged ribbon laid on sbove it. The waist
has gimp Of SHRED net and clusters Of
tucke alternating with ribbon forming 6
point in the back with q full wide sash
draped from the point. The sleeves are
tucked in bands, which encircle the arm,
the tucks running lengthwise, thus form
ing little puffs between the bands. Rib
bon is worn folded in so that both plcot
edges are visible above the collar and In
the sleeves. The ends at the throat are
Tied in pretty prim crsvst.
SEASIDE TOILET.
The light seaside toilet can be made up
In organdie, challi or any thin, delicate
fabric. Bands OF embroidery are put on
the skirt, or in some cases it may be in
serted before il is plated. The sleeve is
divided by several rows Of shiIring q
irger length below the shoulder seam.
The waist has plastron Of embroidery
to match the skirt, and q soft ribbon is
passed several times around the wsist
before 1t is tied in front, little to one
side. The same ribbon ornaments the
bottom OF the sleeve and the parasol.
