difference almost imoerceptible TO me-
in the fist little short gowns for baby
wesr. The Mother Hubbard dresses c
several years. standing have had thei
day ard now the boy baby'S first dress
made Of peinsGok, with tucsS and ruth
Of embroidery end with sash CT blu
ribbon carelessly twisted ard lied. Tn
ribbon row used for sashes is not IS wild
as heretofore. The little SHRED yok
with its bertha OF embroidery is but 8,
old fashion revived.
Tne1e is C. very sensible style for boy
in summer, snd that is for them to YEA
pretty colored funnel bloueeS instead Q
the white or light percsles, which soil 81
quickly. They are made with plaits dow
the back and front, snd vita rolling o.
sailor collars. A bit OF bright silk cord
scarlet, blue or gold color, laced up The
front m .kes them quite dressy. The bes
families buy them tor their boys for sum
mer wear, st seaside or country. They
finish with al elastic in the hea at the
bottom instead Of tape.
4 WHITE GOWN.
A dress 81 white crepe dc chine min
|
As fan plsited panels, while the drape-y
front and nacS, is composed OF crepe d
chine. A pointed yoke is formed of Doin'
d'espri. lace and white ribbon covered
with tiny satin squares matching the lace,
the ribbon forming The shoulder pieces.
Crepe de chiae is tulled to the yoke back
ard front, coming down to each point in
| tiny plaits a folded band of the rim
bon finishes the bottom Of the
waist and from the slde depends 8
large cluster of long loops which Grape
the skirt. The under part Of the sleeves
sre Of crepe de chine, the front formed of
fullness Of the lace crossed ct the bsnd
Ct the arm BY three narrow bands CT
crepe. The outside Of the sleeve is sup
posed to be OF the crepe de chine, but the
very deep V cut out the top and another
one from The wrist up leaves the crepe
just covering the elbow, these VS. filed
in with point esprit. a fullness of the
lace surrounds the srmhole and the wrist,
the latter ornapented with bow of rib
bon.
TRIMMING LACE.
Laces ard nets are freely used as dra-
peries for summer dresses. The striped
nets are favored end large polka dots
have may admirers End make very styl
ish gowns. A very pretty striped lace,
showing small figures over the net, alter.
mates with silk stripe, aid anothsr ct
feet is 9 elk open WORK stripe which al
ternstes with stripe Of Chan'illy in roses
and buds. Toe large polka dots come in
white, black, Gobelia blues OF various
tints, grRYs and msuve. Another fash
ionSble net shows star and bar pattern
which Is very pretty in beige, and smsn
black pattern in net Comes in ali the
grays, beige and blue shades. Another
effect has the lace partly covered with
narrow satin stripes, over which are run
ming vines and roses
One OF the new ways of trimming with
lace, and which imparts q disE1nctively
different effect from those which have
preceded 1t, is to use 1t In the piece, in
stead Of as an edge or border. TAKE
point d. esprit dotted ne,), in black or
cream, festoon 1t over the froat, up high
on one side, and drape q single width
into pointed panel for the other, the
fulness forming the point above the
plating Of SILK which edges the skirt, and
uniting With or concealing the side of me
straight folds which form the back OF the
skirt. Bows Of MORE ribbon ere used
for ornamentation, snd are repeated upon
the shoulder and the front Of the bodice,
which is drsped With the lace as fchu,
Black point d. esprit should be used upon
black, ivory upon cream white, ecru, pale
blue, Nile green, helio.rope, or soft
shades Of yellow.

1t is now quite common to see dressy
house bodices laced up the back, with a
pretty Swiss sleeve laced to the elbow to
correspond.
A new wrinkle In tina new full empire
skirts is TO alternate three inches OF gath
ers with four perfectly plain al around
the belt.
With the empire gowns, the old-fash
Toned lace mitts are being revived. They
will be embroidered with beads Of color
TO match the dress.
There is 8 fancy for the basque with
plsin back sad full fronts, girdled from
the side. This Is pretty for dressy SITTER
noon toilets.

favor, with beltei blouses and full round
gathered skirts.

sre more trimmed than they formerly
were. Wells are worn shorter, and are
drsred bsck OF the trimmings so IS to
fall behind.
Full sleeves come more and mare IN
fashion, and among shapes the leg OF
mutton is the one cfte1ast c5nser,

OF the arm size, are once again carried to
the shoulder seams, giving length OF ap
