New York, Dec 13.-There is no
denying the fact that as the years go
by the clothing of children is more
and more considered. Indeed, there is
scarcely a juvenile function nowadays
that does not call for some distinctive
costume, especially if the wearer is of
the softer sex; but it does not follow
that each of these costumes needs TO
be bought ready made. or that the ma
terials must be of the finest when they
are fashioned at home.
Christmas party clothes for both
boys and girls are now declared to be
quite as important as the Christmas
tree itself. The gowns of the girls
must be light in color and elegantly
made. and the get-up of the boys must
be their dressiest; a velvet court suit
smaller boys, and a black broadcloth
suit, consisting of an eton jacket, a
vest, and long or short trousers for the
older lads.
Informal dancing now follows every
Christmas tree gathering, whether IN
the afternoon or evening, and the at
tire of the small guests must be of the
same nature as that worn by their
elders on their festive occasions. That
the children enjoy the Christmas par
ties more when suitably dressed goes
without saying. Then a gale Of finery
gives eclat to the occasion; and it
seems only just that the kind Kris
Kringle should have this little tribute
paid him after ali the good he mas
done in the world.
GAY FLOUNCES
Let US begin with the girls. If they
are very small their Christmas frocks
may be made from an older sisters
outgrown gown, or one of mamma :
old evening skirts may form fOunda-
ton 70 be covered entirely with some
inexpensive white stun. Swiss, null
or dotted muslin are all charming over
colored silk and inserts of yellow
Valenciennes lace in the little bodice
and skirts viii give a touch Of ele-
gance-
The white null and lace frock illus
trated viii provide an excellent model
for q girl from TO I. The silk founda-
ton should be made separate from the
outside. which is entirely without In
ing for washing convenience and so
the lace inserts may lie directly over
the silk undersli2. This is cut exactly
the shape of the outside-freck- and is
best when high-necked and the little
bodice lined with thin book muslin A
short puff of the silk forms the under
sleeves, which are covered by others
of frilIed muslin.
PRETTY PARTY FASHIONS.
Low neck and short sleeves is a very
pretty fashion for little maids who do
not catch cold easily. But even when
the neck of the gown needs to be
high. the sleeves may be short, and if
the little arms are round and dimDled
a narrow gold bracelet viii add much
TO their beauty. a narrow ribbon tied
around the wrist, with a bow outside
also sets off a dainty hand and arm
and gives a quaint old-fashioned look
that is very fetching. For the neck
there are any number of thin gold
chains with heart-shaped or round
enameled locl1ets that are worn WIKI
both high and low gowns.

sewed to a short body with low neck
and Duff sleeves is a design much in
favor for girls from to 10. A high
necked long sleeved muslin or silk
guimDe will be worn under the bodice
b. all ages; but for the older girls the
body NAV be varied by all sorts Of
short Jacket effects, tiny etons that go
all the way round and provide extra
warmth, or else just little bolero fronts
to give a Jacket look The smallest
scrap of velvet or silk will form these
bolero fronts, as the shorter they are
the more cocky they are considered.
Then, if the velvet or silk used is
made over material. defects may be
hidden with a covering of thick lace
or a braiding of gilt or black. The
last trimming will give a look of ex-
IRENE richness, especially if the braid
ing is done on velvet.
