boy with ready-made clothing.
The green serge suits new this season
are really extremely pretty. They are
made of deep green in sailor fashion. with
the broad collar and shield displaying
hnes OF narrow or broad braiding in black
or white. On of these new green serges

a suggestion of the vermilion which also

Black silk ties are de rigueur with
serge suits Of all colors. Thu heliotrope
serges seen this season are too bizarre

giant Easter egg. The color would be
apt to fade when exposed to the sun. and
1t IS hoped the boy will be exposed to
the sun for two months to come. at the
least computation.
1t is noticeable that boys whose clothes
are made to order do not affect the CAV
braided collars seen in the commoner
feaay-made suits. The fitted blouses have
absolutely plain sailor collars-the same
size and shape but guiltless of braiding.
Avoid choosing collars braided with red
or the gray-blue cloth strip. They have
not the air of distinction belonging to the
quieter costumes.
Black serge sailor suits are much liked
Tor little boys of nine or ten years. They
are a change from the everlasting navy

A secondhand furniture shop is always
an interesting place, and one where often
great bargains may be obtained. Second

dirt, but this danger looked after. often
