CLOTHING FOR BOYS.
What tho Little Fellow. VIII Wear the
Coming Senson.
Suits with separate kits are made
for boys Of three to six years. The
genuine Scotch plaids, especially those
of blue with green, are used for the
kilt and the vest, with plain cloth for
the jacket. The kilt is laid in large
side platts, with fat front, on which
some black braid is SGT in 50 uares or in
rows. The skirt reaches just over tho
kneos, and the jacket is short ard
square, Drab, gray and brown plaid.
are also used in such suitaL With

Waist all around is worn a short plain
cloth jacket much braided with turned
over collar, and the kilt is OF large
plaid laid In box plaits. Linen blouses
with an embroidered collar and frill
In the front are worn with jacket and
kilt OF white pique made very simply.
White or blue serge and flannel suits will
be similarly made for the summer.
The sailor suit continues popular in
all its varieties-with kills, with knee
breechcs, with long trousers, with
blouses and with reefers-made of duck
or OF cotton twill, of flannel or Of serge,
but always of white or blue, and usually
combining both colors. Long trousers
cut in true sailor fashion are so becom-
ing to little boys that they are put on
them very early, and this has brought
about the custom of leaving of kits al
together earlier than was formerly
done. White duck suits, with either
knee-breeches or long trousers, have
sailor blouse opening over a separate
shield-shaped piece without . collar,
which is made to button cut of sight On
the shoulder. The sailor collar OF this
blouse is very large, coming cow2
square on the shoulders, and is bo.-
dered with dark navy blue Dungareo.
Similar suits are made of fine white
serge for best wear, and of rough-
finished blue serges and flannels for
everyday uso. Embroidered stars or
anchors trim the large sailor collar, and
the sailor hat has q ribbon band bear
ing the name of favorite yacht. 10
wear over any suit are REFERS of blue
diagonal cut large and double breasted,
and having brass buttons with anchors
or stais upon them. A deep sailor COL
lar is on REFERS for small boys, while
those for larger boys have notched
collar and regulation navy buttons.
School suits for boys just in short
trousers are OF plaid or striped Scotch
goods in tobacco brown or grayish- blue
shades, made with jaunty short jacket,
which curves open to show the vest,
while those for larger boys have the
plain straight front b":tSning up close
ly, to wea> without a vest. The trou-
ser: are straight and easy-dtting, and
are buttoned to shirt-waist until regu-
lar shirts are put on at twelve or thir.
teen years OF age, when suspenders are
used. More dressy suits of blue tricot
have the short English jacket which has
the back cut without seams, single
breasted front, high-throated, to wear
under broad linen collar with a large
cravat bow; Sight braiding trims this
coat and the separate vest Some tt mes
white vest is made with these suits,
and velvet is used instead of cloth for
tho whole suit. The short trousers are
met by long black stockings, and the
shoes are oither laced or buttoned.
Tie dressy Eton suits are in great
favor for boys from eight years upward.
These have long trousers, and the Eton
jacket fitted in the back and cut low in
front, with silk-faced revers collar; the
vest is also cut low, and shows a linen
shirt bosom, with collar and scarf like
those worn by men. Such suits are for
dress occasions, and are made of fine
black diagonal or corkscrew cloth. The
Tuxedo suit for these boys differs only
in the coat, which has the long rolled
collar and low-cut front of mans dress.
coat, with sack back; sash can be
worn prettily with this coat, just as
young men wear it in summer Cadet
suits initiate the fatigue blouse suit OF
an officer Of the marine corps.
Cape overcoats of plaids-gray, brown
or blue-are worn by boys of all ages.
Dressy overcoats for boys of three to six
years are of broadcloth-golden brown,
gray or beige color-slightly braided,
cut long enough to fall below their kills,
and made up very lightly for spring
wear. They are single.breasted, with
two broad plaits in the back, and have
a short cape and collar. The REFER,
however, is the favorite overcoat with
boys. Cadet overcoats for large boys
are OF military blue cloth, with black
braiding in military style across the
front.-Harper's Bazar.
Paintings OH Velvet and Silk.
An improved process for producing
permanent paintings on velvet, silk,
etc., has been invented by Elise Bender,
of Berlin. The fabric to be treated is
fixed to drawing board by means Of
suitable drawing pins or by stretching
the fabric on an embroidery or othe1
suitable frame, the latter being prefer.
