row white satin ribbon ties back the
simply parted hair. while white kid
gloves, black silk stockings, and patent
leather shoes are considered other ele-
giant accessories.
To reproduce the same smart effect
at less expense Liberty velveteen in
the same colors could be used. Then
any number of handsome bretelles and
collarettes may be found in the shops
very cheap that initiate to a nicely the
rich Russian and real Point de Venice
laces, which are worn by the small fry
as well as by the grown-ups.
For girls from 6 TO 16 the children'S
furnishing shops show delightful little
party frocks in striped and figured
taffeta silks. plain surahs, and silk
gauZes of all sorts. These are all in
good style and admirable taste and
many of the silk frocks seem aston
ishingly cheap.
SOME MODEL DRESSES.
One for young lady of IA was
marked 500. This was of figured
taffeta, blurred greenish moons on a
pink background, with an effective
yoke collar of white silk muslin and
other trimmings of yellow Valenciennes
lace and green ribbon velvet. A design
of this is given on this page. and it
may be recognized by the lace bands
which run from the yoke half way
down the skirt apron.
A very stunning little dress for
girl of u was of pink and white
stripped silk, with white chiffon and
wine-colored velvet on the bodice. The
model of this was gored skirt and
baby bodice with looped puff sleeves
and Marguerite neck. A tiny quilting
OF the white chiffon gave a girlish
finish to the decolletage. and there

edged with wine-colored baby velvet
that fell over the sleeves. A crush
belt of the wine velvet on the bias also
finished the waist. This smart little
toilet is likewise here illustrated.
One thing, however, is observed in
all the juvenile finery seen every
where. AS long as missy is at the
really little girl stage she may wear
splendid stuffs galore; but the mo-
ment she strikes her teens her gown
becomes instantly simple in make and
material. according to the most ap-
proved French taste for young girls.
FOR LITTLE MASTERS.
It is the same even with boys. Velvet
court suits for boys up to eight have
the short Jacket and knee breeches
often richly braided, and the lace
jabot on sthe shirt front-which is
either of white silk, or the finest main
sock, or mull-may even be real. But
by the time Master Jack is ten years
OLD times have changed indeed. Then
his party suit must have a mannish
air; be of black broadcloth preferably,
and made in the way shown in the
illustration until the proper age shall
lengthen his trousers. The shirt of
fine white linen allows narrow tucks
at most at the front, but the turn
over collar must be severely plain.
Sometimes black silk braid stripes
TIE trousers of these suits at the out
side seam, and in that case there is a
finish of the same on the jacket. More
commonly, however, there is only the
stripe on the trousers; but if the
young gentleman has a laundering to
be fine he may wear with this plain
suit a vest of white brocade or else
one of bright red cloth.
English boys above eight years of
age wear long trousers with the eton
jackets for their best get up. From
eight down to the skirt age the trous-
ers may be knee length, and for all
festive occasions the stockings are
of black silk and the shoes patent
leather pumps. The hair is worn with
out a part, cropped straight across the
forehead and brushed smoothly down.
