The triumph Of children's dressing comes
n the springtime, when the little ones are
divested Of their wintry wraps and gowns,
and put into the pretty chaliies, India silks
and ginghaIas, which come in such va
riety Of designs.

1t should be borne in mind that it is quite
as necessary nowadays that children should
be long WASTED as grown folk, and hence
snowy little gowns intended far dancing
parties or evening feteS should De cut with
a view to accentulte q long slender figure.
In the third illustration are set forth two
very charming costumes for little girls
from four to eight The one on the left is
q combination Of cloth and velvet, namely,
light blue rcSeda cloth with Z black or
dark blue velvet. The corsage must pass
under the skirt and be fastened with hooks
and eyes at The back. Front and back there
is an insertion of velvet upon which the
scalloped cloth is caught. The lower por-
ton of the cOrsage is gathered. The sleeves
are trimmed with steel buttons At the
bottom of the skirt there is the same seal
lOpcd effect laid upon = border Of velvet.
The skirt is lined with satin. There is 3
large Ceinture OF the velvet with = bow 1t
the back.
The costume on the right is a gobeIin
blue cloth, the trimming being an open
work paSSemmentCrie made up OF little
rings, under which are placed strips
of velvet. This passcmenterie trimming IS
applied as an insertion both for bordering
and for brace and gorget ornaments.
AT the back there is the same application
of the galloon.
At chiIdren's party few evening ago
l saw what struck me as being very
picturesque costume for boy Of seven.
1t was made up in biege cloth, the knicker-
bockers having four buttons at the side and
three rows OF narrow galloOn. The jacket
was finished with a velvet plastron
framed by broad reyers trimmed with four
rows of the gallOon set close together. The
skirts We're boXpleated and there was a
scarf of the same material, ornamented
with the galloon and tassels and
tied in large bow in front.
Just above the waist there were four
rows Of the galloon, commencing rather
high at the back and running down to the
waist line il front. With this pretty suit
the little lad wore broad turr-down collar
and made silk tie, low shoes and heavily
ribbed stockings. / also saw very stylish
jacket FOR little boy, made Of dark gray
cloth, set oY by cuffs and sailor collar in
light gray silk. The front Of the jacket
had two bands OF the silk extending the
full length, and there was plastror of the
cloth ornameuted With an anchor embroid,
erod IN GOLD.

NzA..sS.

Upon turning TO the second illustration
you come upon quite a different phase OF
child life-the first inclination to do Us Dig
folks DO. There does seem 10 Oe something
homogeneous in the idea Of children having
the same dances as grown folk. Once upon
a time this wasn't so and J, for one. would
in this instance, anyway, like to 50 back 10
to those good old times when children
danced filings and jigs and hornpipe dances,
which called for display of that delight
The two dancers pictured in the second
illustration are very modern, the boy being
in white flannel sailor suit, stockings and
Shirt to match, and his very aristocratie
looking partner wearing 4 figured silk
trimmed with fur and set of by q broad
sash in harmony with the ground Of the
silk; slippers and stockings in same tone.

What Girls Talk About.

"What do girls talk about" / asked one
of them, at their luncheOns and during
calls upon each other}"
We'll" she replied, there are usually
two subjects of conversation ii gatherings
of girls, and they are about equally prolific.
One OF them is the men and the other is
girls who don't happen to be present. We
discuss the men of our acquaintance from
every possible point of view, exchange con-
tidepces that have been made to US, criti-
else them with unrestricted freedom, and
wonder which of them want to marry and
what styles of girls they prefer. Some
times we are rather sharp in our criticisms,
but on the whole the men get out rather
easily. But when ii comes to other girls
N.Y.
''What do you mean by thati"
Il mean that no mercy IS shown. For
example we take up some poor unfOrtu-
nate who isn't with US and go through the
pleasant operation known as picking her to
pieces We discuss her costumes, her
complexion, her manners. her sayings. her
tastes, and by the time we have got through
with her the Creator wouldn't recognize his
work Then we start in on some other
girl
But have you many enemies Of this
sortt"
"Enemies9 Bless your innocent soul,
haven't an enemy in the world. love my
neighbor as myself"
you surely don't intend to convey the
impression to my mind that those girls
whose characters you discuss in this canni-
balistic way are friends of yoursl"
why, certainly. For instance, on the
south side the other day we were all taking
. clock tea and having q simply beautiful
time picking Maria Jones to pieces. Just
in the middle of il all Maria came in. Was
she greeted coldly} Wei, hardly. We all
embraced her. gave her 4 seat near the fire
and changed the subject of conversation TO
Annie Smith. And how Maria did go for
her, to be sure"'-l Chicago Post

Mothers make great mistake in having
their children sleep under 100 heavy a
weight Of bed clothing. This practice, rep
rehensible even in the case of adults, is par
ticularly harmful TO young children, who
should never be hampered in their incina-
lions to thrash about when asleep.

MODES

Nearly all the new thin gowns are much
trimmed around the foot OF the skirt, fes-
toons Of lace or net being fastened here and
there with bows of ribbon. The plain
skirt has by no means yielded to the de-
mand Of Paris dressmakers, who, finding
thoir calling endangered by the reign Of the
plain skirt, have endeavored to bring about
4 change. Draperies it is true have re-
turned The deep, deep founce, the little
tiounce and the knife plating can all be
seen. Skirt bottoms are vandyked and
corded, and occasionally q dress with hip

very thin summer ones that are improved
by draping.
