for boys.
The Jersey suits for little girls sea-

a young girl has the rather wide brim,
depressed at both sides, and is trimmed
with loops of red ribbon and a bunch
of field flowers.
A pretty frock for a little girl of
about six years is made of chestnut
brown velvet in a small redingote
shape, open ali the way down the
front, showing white Valenciennes lace
over ros silk. The revers is faced with

tied at the back. The sash a be

Connemara cloaks are in as much
favor for little girls as their elders.
Nice aprons for girls of about two
years are made of lawn, with a square,
low necked yoke of embroidery, deep
hem around the bottom, and a sash of
the same material.
Tailor suits for little boys are not
very popular when made with the
long, loose trousers, as they are unbe-
coming.
A walking dress for a young girl
recently made of dark green camel's
hair, had the rather long waist open
from the plain velvet collar down the
front. The skirt, which was laid on
in box pleats, was also open. The
waist revers, and each side down the
front and round the bottom of the
skirt was trimmed with p~assementerie.
The open front displayed black lace
over coffee silk. The pleated belt that
encircled the waist was made of green
velvet like the collars, and so We're the
cuffs that the rather full sleeves were
gathered into.

font was filed with a solid mass of red
and white tulips. The pulpit was en-
