The variety Of wraps. coats, and other
outdoor Garments for children Is large
They differ as greatly as do those OF their
mothers and elder sisters.
IL has grown almost customary to make
street garments for children OF partlenlar-
w rich materials and on elaborate designs
Where picturesqueness ~ thus obtained
much is to be said IN favor Of this fashion.
Plush is peculiarly favored. One long
shape for little girl Of eight or nine years
recently noticed was in golden-brown
cashmere and dark-grcen plush. the
back. yoke. and sleeves were oil the latter;
The yoke effect was deep and square, and
from it fell tho cashmere front of the gar
meut in five or six loose folds. This was a
very pleasing shape, but It's use would be
naturally restricted to dress occasions.
FOR SCHOOLS.
4 girls coat for school Is in tamise
cloth. smoke color, trimmed with beaver.
II consists only of long coat, shaped IN
TO the waist, and with loose skirt. The
collar and cuffs are of fur.
Speaking of children's attire-and the
subject Is one that merits more attention
than 10 usually receives saw a tot o. Eve
or six years the other day in an especially
charming home dress. II was 81 pearl
gray cashmere. Cashmere is soft, warm
fabric that seems most appropriate Tor
children's wear. This dress was made with
a full loose blouse effect. which oyeriapped
the gathered frock skirt. The feature If
the dress was o zouave jacket of silver
gray plush, winch trimmed tine waist.
This fashion. invented for her elders, be-
came the little miss admirably, ard was hy
no means as inappropriate as might be
thought
BIT LITTLE nIFFERfNcE.
Misses modes differ so slightly from Tho
prevailing fashions for " grpWn-uDs' that
in describing styles for the latter the former
are included.
There are. II Is true, one or two points
about their attire THAT may boz noted m
passing. One Of the most striking ffcts OF
the seasons fashions for misses Is that
the Dircct0rc modes. already beginning TO
receive the colt shoulder from the elder
generation. have descended with Wu iorce
upon the younger.
