eotes and dresses. Many of the latter
are pretty and appropriately finished
with a band OF velvet or fur, the French
fashion is to place above the band
wider design in passameuterie. Good
Limerick lace has superseded mechlin
and duchess. A recent bridal dress was
OF white satin. generously trimmed with
the finest OF Limerick. The trousseau
tea gowns were likewise finished at neck
and wrist. Now who shall say that
beauty and bounty are not haudmaidens.
Despite all that has been written about
bright colors prevailing this season,
black certainly dominates. Some cling
TO this color IN underwear, but since the
trousseau of the German princess is OF
the purest, finest linen, there Is reason
for assuming the rage for black next to
the skin will subside. Black stockings
are not down. This does not allude to
any OF suitable gathering, but 10 their
market value, a sentiment that is verl-
fled by a statement frOl makers that
they have orders for months ahead.
In the matter OF wraps, while capes,
mantles and jackets are worn, the old
newmarket comes to US in revised and
improved form, somewhat fancifnl at
times. Take. for instance, one OF coarse
diagonal foule, In steel blue, hemmed
round the bottom with black ostrich
feathers, with the same sewn into the
seam round the hips. There is bib OF
the same on the bodice part, also ostrich
feather edge on the sleeves. Another
fancy wrap, which is more dolman than
any other shape, is gathered on the
shoulders and then allowed TO flow IN
soft folds 10 the feet. On the sleeves
were big puffs of silk, while the lining
was pink merveilleux. Pink and drab
frills adorned the front, and edged
hood that was made in one piece with
the back.
Ostrich feathers enter into all the trim
ming of many garments. The following
is a description of dress which gained
no end of imiration at recent London
reception 1t was black merveilleu1
cut waist and skirt. The foot of the
skirt was edged with black ostrich tips;
q ruche OF same passed round the neck
and down the front. a fan OF same, set
with jeweled sticks, and pointed bonnet
of tips completed this most striking COS
tune.
said a mother give US a few notes
about children g dress, boys and girls,
and heedful of her request the following
is presented:
For children thick, soft cloths are Sc
lected for their long coats in French
gray, Venetian red and cadet clue. OF
toman silk, cashmere, ladies cloth,
tufted plaid and striped materials are all
used. Very large white or smoked pearl
buttons are used on these garments.
Black astrschan, Chinese lamb and
moufllon fur will be used on their heavy
81 n Ina
cloth and chinchilIa or chinchilla cloth
entire will be worn by boys III kilt skirts.
For little girl a dark green velvet
coat, with surah front, is trimmed with
light gray marabout. Ottoman silks for
wee ones are trimmed with velvet. The
one-piece design with q vatican back is
still in style. The plaits of boys kills
should always turn toward the center OF
lack, with the Lox plat in front held
down by bone buttons. These are made
of any of the bright Scotch plaids, with
blue and green being al favorlte combi-
nation. with these kills should be worn
fitted jacket of plain cloth, with coat
sleeves and roll or sailor collar.
The Jacket buttons down the front from
the vest, which is of the plaid like skirt
or of chamois cloth. The fitted jackets
nave exactly the same appearance as the
imported Jerseys for boys, which are
slashed on hips. The vest may be at
tached to Jacket with blackiriobon bow
at the lower end fastening TO the neck,
with buttons and buttouhOles, or the
plaid the shape of the neck opening may
be sewed on to the under waist to which
the kilt IS buttoned or sewed. The Rus
sian blouse of cashmere is selected by
some Us being prettier than the fitted
iacket. In The winter knee trousers are
often worn under the kilt, but should
not he seem Some mothers use them
only when going out, this wooden under
drawers and knit skirt being warm
enough for house wear.
Round waists and full gathered skirts
are stilI the prevailing style for school
girls. Trim with velvet ribbon and use
velvet collars. There are so many differ
eut ways of waist arrangement that il is
hard to mention any one without, in
deed il is the yoke and guimpe effect,
with full sleeves, which is always so be-
coming. Venetian red camel's hair or
cashmere will be much used this winter.
This bright red started in an artistic es-
tablishmeut in London known for the at
tentiou given TO children's clothes. It Is
needless TO say that with velvet trim
mings the deep cuffs are OF velvet. Both
the square coruered and round Zouave
jacket fronts are III fashion. Small pearl
buttons, used IN close double rows, are
much in use for ornamenting these child
ish frocks. When plaid is used the skirt
is cut on the bias Sash loops and ends
are held in the back by choux. These
cabbage rosettes are put everywhere and
are "A marked feature of girls dresses.
A neat dress of red, with white polka
dots, is made with a full skirt gathered
on cord, forming an erect ruffis round
waist. The waist is cut square neck,
with puff sleeves. Velvet ribbon is used
on both skirt and waist. For q girl twelve
years old q waist may be made round IL
the back and slightly pointed in trout, in
the quaint Elizabethan style. This is
made with round neck. and worn with
China silk guimpe.
