A little boy, just putting on trousers,
never forgets his first suit; he feels his
importance and is always subject of in
terest to those around him. Sailor suits
of blue eheviot- finished serge, or of mix
lures, are specially adapted for this pur-
pose, and are worn by older boys as we'll,
oftentimes with a silk embroidered shield.
Price S4.S5. A suit of heavier blue di-
agonal serge, similarly made and trimmed,
comes at 5000, or brown and gray mix
ed cheviot with silk scarf and embroidery
is the same price. A very attractive
admiral suit in blue cheviot serge, NAV
be had for So. Is. or tan mixed cheviot,
silk embroidered and braided, is So. IS, and
a fine quality of diagonal serge with silk
embroidery is $50
School SUITS
of Atwood, light weight diagonal serge
lin Norfolk style) in sizes from four to ten
years are S.. co. or double breasted Jacket
suit of similar material is equally desira-
BILE, suitable for boys from six to sixteen
years. A third style is in tan or gray
mixed cheviot, made in the same sizes at
$500. Refers are specially attractive
this season-jaunty little affairs of blue
cheviot with gilt or black buttons, and for
boys from two and half to five years are
IS. Is. For larger boys tan colored covert
cloth coats are used almost exclusively,
ranging in price from 500 to $1,000,
WASH SUITS
command special attention as the season
advances, and light brown crash. light
brown linen with colored stripes, or strip
ed galatea are leading fabrics: suits rang
ing in price from 81. 25 to 81. p in sizes
from three to twelve years. White duck
suits with blue or red shields are a high
Ell grade; but after all, mothers get the
best idea of what children are wearing,
by sending four cents postage to Best d
ST., who not only manufacture boys
clothing, but that of girls and babys' as
well, and their spring catalogue is one of
special interest.
LEADING FANCIEs IN DRESS GOODS
or costumes are re- echoed in parasols;
those in gray plaids, suggest lady's indie
pendent silk waists, OF where many color
ed stripes are combined, ginghams or
grass linens loom up in the distance, or
plain colored silk parasols with band of
passementerie around the edge, or plain
silk and plaids when placed together;
remind one of gay plaided fronts or belts
on plain costumes. Chiffon rntfles are
used without limit, particularly on white
parasols and with daintily ruffied or
CANDY dress on a Saratoga piazza, what
more suitable than a rutt1ed parasol
Crimson parasols were never so fash
ionable, for this rich color is often temper
ed with black, either by chiffon drapings,
or wide black and crimson shaded stripes.
SPRING CAPEs
are extremely short, and plated chiffon
rutfies and ribbon enter so largely into
their composition that they stand out as
S1a al 81 II,
hoods are so useful that they remain styl-
ish, and plain velvet or cloth waists,
described in a preceding letter, will be
worn as outdoor garments, and here the
advantage of Velutina comes in, as a
waist of this material cannot be distin-
guished from high grade silk velvet at the
distance of few feet, and is about one
fourth of the price.
LINEN SUITINGS,
which are made up perfectly plain, have
been found SO satisfactory that they are
very prominent, particularly the Donegal
suitings, which wash like handkerchief
yet retain their firmess and come in ten
stylish neutral tints. Costumes of thin
colored fabrics should be made over color
ed Innings, and skirts may be ruff1ed from
top to bottom, or a very modest foot
trimming only is obligatory. Waists are
very similar to those of last season, bnt
sleeves must have wide or narrow frills or
folds set in at the arm-hole and edged
with lace, and tiny rutf1es may be put on
in clusters, or about an inch apart down
to the cuff; or the material may be
wrinkled over the lining from the upper
trimming to the cuff. Elbow sleeves are
tucked in clusters and finished with lace,
but there is always something that stands
out at the top of the sleeve.
