FASHIONS FOR CHILDREN.
Pretty and Varied Enough This Season to
Leave Little to He Desired.

Fashions FOR children are pretty and varied
enough to leave very little to be desired In this
special direction. Even though they do not
change as rapidly and often as the grown-up
styles, they follow In the same lines as closely as
possible. and there is a certainty in the result Of
whatever you undertake to accomplish in the
way OF chile gowns. which is at least re-
freshing in the midst of all the vicissitudes
and indecision connected with the makeup Of
one dress for an adult.
The gowns with the little guimpe waists have
never really gone out of fashion since they were
first established in favor, and nothing can be
prettier for little maidens between four and
twelve years OF age than this especial gown.
The guimpe may be lace and as
dainty or plain as you like, and whether the
dress Is of inexpensive Bingham or dainty
lowered silk 1t Is sure to be a success. About
the only variation possible in this style of gown.
which has either q full waist with q belt or q
straight, plain bodice. is in the bertha frill
around the neck, and the sleeve, which Is
usually a short puff. This turnover frlll Is cut
round to fit the neck. and shaped In squares or
points and made OF some plain color for a con-
trast, trimmed around with white braid II the
material is cloth: and the sleeves are fn'shed
with a band Of the same color.
Finely checked wool goods in blue or brown
and white make pretty dresses for school wear.
and the belt and frlll may be of plain blue or
brown, with white braid and tiny white pearl

complete the costume. Black canvas made over
green silk, and finished with . tartan plald y,b.
bon belt and collar. and some yellow lace on the
waist In front, 10 a very desirable combination.
Plaid ribbons are quite the thing with plain
materials, but plaid silk waists made exactly
like the cotton shirt waists. with a yoke in
the back and q full front, are the latest fancy
In this particular and popular article OF dress.
Checked and finely striVed taffeta silks are used
for these waists. and the special novelty is the
stih white linen collar and cuffs worn with
them. These are adjustable. OF course. and II
they are not becoming the neck may be finished
with = turnover collar of the silk, or q black
satin stock with the piping of white on the edge.
aud . narrow black satin cravat tied around
this with q stiff little bow in front. Others are
finished with q plain ribbon collar and bow In
the back and a ribbon belt.

down the front, and a gold belt. Either gold or

which must not be ignored II you would have q
success. This sort OF waist is very useful with
the black coat and skirt tailor-made dress which
IL 80 popular this season, and worn quite as
much BY young women as by those of more ma
ture years. In fact, the black gown Is q leading
favorite with girls who sre not yet out of their
teens. 1t makes such an effective background
for all the pretty vests their fancy can devise
that II needs no other recommendation. Black
and white effects. which never seem to go out Of
fashion, are as popular as ever. and white silks
with black stripes are we'll represented among
the imported gowns.
Clusters Of lne line stripes with q space Of
white between are perhaps the latest pattern.
but all sorts OF stripes and black and white
checks are worn. A black and white silk, with
q waist of cream net over white silk. and striped
up and down with narrow rows Of lace inser-
ton and bands Of half-inch black velvet ribbon,
Is very effective. and six graduated bands OF the
insertion and velvet, about four inches wide,
are arranged on the skirt around the hips.
They are pointed at the ends. and the longest
ones, which are not more than ten inches

inner sleeve of fne muslin and lace. and full
scarfs OF lovely lowered net down either side OF
the skirt. Another dress of black satin has q
blouse front of black Russian net, spotted with
white. over a white satin lining. The epaulettes
are OF black satin, bordered with white
applique lace and Jet. and the pulled
sleeves Of net are without lining. Cream
lace and jet form the b~retelles and
trim the neck. Very effective evening skirts are
made Of alternate plaitIngs OF tullo and lace
over satin. but these are not becoming except to
very slim women. White swiss gowns for
evening wear In summer are made very striking
by a lining of striped silk. black and white.
with an occasional blue or pink stripe. and
rows of narrow black lace insertion and edgIng
for trimming.
While the new skirts show q strong tendency
for trimming, the bodice is still the point where
the decorations flourish without limit, and the
variety of models brought out for inspection

The latest sleeves are a decided compromise
between the small and the large. and they are
much ~prettier than anything we have had since
the advent OF the balloon variety; there are so
many styles, too, that one can choose a becom-
ing and fashionable sleeve at the same time.
Three deep rufies, instead OF a pun at the top,
are very pretty, and the bell puff with nearly all
the fulness at the elbow Is another style. Some
Of the thin gowns have sleeves made OF alternate
pufrs and lace insertion, fitting the arm to the
shoulder, where there are double pointed epau-
lets edged with lace. These sleeves are made
without any lining, and a frill OF lace falls over
the hand. Close sleeves, three-quarter length,
in lawn dresses, trimmed with narrow lace
edged rufles, are very pretty. The rutfles are
set In to cover the entire sleeve. or in three
groups of three each. one at the shoulder, an
other ct the edge. and one midway between.
Evening sleeves are short, and rufies of tulle or
chiffon caught in the centre, butterfly fashion,
are the ~prettiest OF all.

range OF colored lawns, ginshams, and piques

ors, that they are especially suitable for small

deep. cover the front seam on either side,
and the shortest fits in next the gathers
at the back. Another fancy in trimming skirts
around the hips is 10 cut a basque frill on the
front breadth. and this is pulled around the
band. The effect in front is rather novel. as 1t
shows plainly that It Is a continuation of the
skirt and not attached to the waist. Black Lib
erty satin makes an effective waist for a black

and revers covered with satin and lace, or the
stripe opening over a vest of lace or white satin.
Bright-colored ribbons in satin or velvet are
also used for a finish to these gowns, and black

wearied with the gayeties of a London season,
we had been resting a few weeks in an enchant-
ing little Swiss village, when the idea Of taking
a walking tour through some OF the most at
~tractlve parts of Switzerland began to take root
in our minds.
We nrst decided upon the route that seemed
10 promise the most for the outlay of time and
strength, selecting In advance the hotel at
which We should stop. The great point, Of
course, Is 10 be burdened with the least possible
luggage. So having sent our trunks to Paris,
we reduced our immediate wants TO the mini
mum, sending our small luggage ahead OF US
eAchday by diligence. This entire outfit consisted
OF an "~extender," in which We each had a
change OF underwear and our toilet articles, and
shawl strap containing warm wraps and our
constant friend and companion a spirit lamp.
The necessary costume is. OF course, some sort Of
wool gown. sufficiently short and light, a shade
hat invulnerable 10 sun and rain, ard strong
shoes we'll nailed, Strapped 10 our backs were
light willow baskets, In which We carried our
rubbers, light wraps, our lunch, and the ineV-
liable Baedeker. We added to this an umbrella
and az alpenstock.
Our first days walk was from Chateau
d'Oex over the Col de Jaman 10 Montreux.
We arrived at Montreux Just at sunset, when
there was a purple haze over all the mountains
and a golden sky 10 the west We had walked
twenty miles, and the Col Is 5000 feet high;
and though that night We found getting up and
down A matter OF careful consideration We
voted the nrst day. OF our walking tour In
