often endured; boys that are often "too
naughty to kiss and too precious to
/ spank;' boys that are darlings and
must be dressed to please mammals
| eye, and yet SO clad that the boy ele-
ment is not curbsd and tettered by the
| restraints of fashion. Now, for the boJ
| that can stand on the floor and rest his
"curly brow" on mothers knee, there
| are velvet trimmed kilt suits for dressy
wear, made of dark shades of diagonal
| cloth, with the kilt even around in place
! of having the apron front. The coat has
q velvet vest, belt from the eide seams
and pockets of the same. A fancy
buckle may be worn in the belt ana q
| surah tie under the linen collar, as lace
is not suitable for cloth, though it lie
| worn with velveteen suits.
The yelveteen suits OF kilt, short
jacket and cashmere OF sursh blouse are
greatly worn for the house, as they are
picturesque and become the angelic
looking cheruh that was "too naughty
to kiss and too precious to spank.
Long overcosts of colored beaver are
stylishly trimmed with astrakhan, as
there is style even in small boys clothes.
Caps Of various fancy shapes match or.
harmonic with the overcoat. The as
trakhan cap is a decided favorits. The
long leather leggings are warm and
cleanly for the long black ribbed stock
ings.
The kilt suits are generally made
without any under waist, as all little
chaps usually wear these anyway, with
buttons for the short trousers and kilt
skirt. Blue cloth resfer jackets trimmed
with brass buttons are cunning with the
blue Aforementioned sailor caps.
Blue flannel and diagonal twill sailor
quits have the blouse and kilt over the
short trousers that are worn for warmth,
though they do not show.
Is mamma hsrsel; to have no consid-
GRAFTON in the chapter on dress? 1t is
hoped that papa or big brother has been
thoughtful enough to buy her one of
those new cloths which stir e desire for
possession in the breast Of every woman.
She may be young and pretty enough to
wear a costume OF pearl gray, fawn,
pinkish tan, old rose. turquoise blue and
cream clotn that have appeared at re-
captions, weddings, operas aud for elab-
crate carrisge toilsttes.
The most distingue are those of fawn
or pearl gray, which are trying to many,
but full of chic for the few who are just |
suited TO them. Fur and velvet are the |
favorite trimmings, with an edging,
yoke, eorselst, etc., OF passemsnterie |
black or colored silk cord and tinsel Civ |
Ing the finishing touch.
The tiny toques and the capes to the |
hips are just the things to finish off the |
dress en- suite. OF course it is sponged |
before making 1t up. Straight effects
and soft folds are aimed at, and the |
texture of cloth is delightfully."- becoming.
Fur adds to the richness, but velvet may
be useo without fur.
With the cloth bodice there is now be-
Ing introduced the high linen collar.
The white edge SO long considered indis-
peusable has once more become fashion,
able, and is certainly a pretty finish to
dark costume.
The tendency of styles in oolors and
make seems 10 be Spanish. Red and
yellows in color, the torreador's jacket
and hat, the fan and the mkntllia all
hint of the sunny slopes of Spain. the
land of bull fights aud the home of
graceful seroritas. This is the present
tendency, but what the coming year
may develop it is not easy to proph esy.
