drcn's parties, lunchcons, tens and dances
even fancy dress balls somctimes-are
given, and the little ones are taught how
to be graceful and gracious hosts md
guests.
In this country children live more with
their parents than they do in the Weather
families abroad, and the result is beneficial
III all ways. In many countries, as soon rs
they can talk plain, they are sent to pen-
slons and come home rarely. They live so
until quite grown up, and when they do
come home for good the girls especially are
awkward and bashful, and they must re-
quire agood deal of private training before
mother can trust her daughter to appear
before her friends. In England children
are banishcd to the nursery and permitted
to appear only at dessert, mt their parents
meals and before guests. The result is that
there is not that same refinement and alb
scncc of self consciousness that make our
children adorable
Little dancing parties are given to the
children, and the young hostess has the en-
tire charge of the comfort of her young
friends, her mother making but casual ap-
pearance during the afternoon or evening.
They generally begin early and end early,
for few children are allowed nowadays to
violate n single law of health.
There is one new means of amusing chill
drcn. There are two or three ladies and
one gentleman who have the rare faculty
OF being able to improvisc fairy stories to
order that hold the little ones enchanted.
and during the winter they have constant
engagements to go to houses where there
are gathered goodly number of children
ana tell their pretty stories. The children
are delighted and for the time live in the
faryland that is so real to them.
For afternoon teas and parties, where
games are to be played. wise mothers dress
their children in plain and strong clothes,
but for their dances certain amount of
dressy effect is considered right, though
great care should be taken to protect deli
cate chests from drafts and cold air.
Mrs Ogden Goclet has some lovely chill
drcn who make the sweetest of little host
csses, and they have dancing room such
as is hardly to be matched in this country.
There IL crowd of little ones may gather
and dance to the music from the piano, harp
or violin. AT one party recently given to
two little girls there were some dainty

l noticed among this trousseau that
there were more plain wooden dresses than
elaborate and eXtravagant materials or
modelling. There were some plain black
dresses, notably one black silk warp hen
rie!ta, which was laid in narrow plaits
from waist to foot evidently having been
fitted us they were laid This material
gives round fold, which never falls flat,
and the effect of these folds, so evenly laid
and flaring out almost imperceptibly at
the bottom, was indescribably rich and
refined. The back was fan plated and
the corsagc neatly laid in those same luted
plaits up to the armpts. The rest was
plain, save double row of the futinp
set in place Of collar.
Another really elegant gown for home
wear was as plain rs it was possible to make
it, but it was equally attractive to the eye
attuncd to grace and beauty of color. 1t
was of soft diagonal twill in drab and
fawn, made with an Elton jacket, filled in
with full pulled vest of oriental striped
silk in all its rich coors. The sleeves and
lapels were of the same.
Black bengalne formed the groundwork
for another handsome home dress The
skirt and fore sleeves and back of the cor
sage were all of black bengaline of rich
and handsome quality. The puffs to the
sleeves the crossed tlrapery on the waist
and the band at the foot of the skirt were
of plaid velvet, in blue, green, red, black
and white. 1t made altogether gown that
is peculiarly suitable for the young, and it
is model that may he safely followed by
almost anybody, if those who are Il little
past youth will remember that bright plaid
would he better replaced with brocaded
material, and that the V shaped neck is be-
coming only to the young.

may help mothers in choosing for their own
children. The little hostess wore frock
of yellow striped tissue, with very full
rose plating of the same around the bot
tom. The waist was Of cherry striped
satin. with bows and loops of cherry satin
ribbon. The upper waist was Of the tissue

slippers.
Her cousin, also n brunette wore n prct-
ty little dress of lilac crepe de chine, with
front of helotropc satin and satin ribbons
to match. There was full berthe of

with heliotrope ribbon. Black silk stock

One of the guests wore apple green china
silk, with bands of lace around the chest
and on the skirt and trimming of peacock
blue velvet OH the neck and rs sash. She
also wore black stockings and slippers.
tot of six wore IA little frock of white
china silk, with baby blue ribbons brought
around the waist and tied in bows, holding
in the fullness. The sleeves were pulled,
and both they and the flounce ut the bot
tom were edged with very narrow silk
embroidery in baby blue. Black stockings
also incased her chubby feet, though sew
eral of the other children there wore stock
ings to match the color of their frocks or
ribbons.
Many of the little girls wore short waist
ed and long skirted gowns Of the Green
away styles which have proved SO quaint
and picturesque that probably they will
never be discarded by those who love to see
their children look like little pictures. But
the dresses represented in the picture are
oil novel and pretty without being very
striking, and many sensible mothers aim
at dressing their children in some such
