FOR JUVENILE CELEBRATIONS.
The very exquisite muslin and lawn
hot weather or full-dress gowns for lit
tie girls are crisp. graceful and flower
like in their fragile beauty. With very
rare exceptions, these dresses have
their skirts full, falling direct from the
shoulder line to the knee. Then, TO take
away from any SAVIOR of the mother
hubbard, they all have a broad ribbon
passing about the waist, and escaping
connection. directly in front, by a
couple or three inches. There is left a
front fall of fulness from bust to
knees, and, where the ribbons end, big
rosettes are fastened. Over the
shoulders of such muslin frocks many
full ruffies are gathered and square
is opened at back and front in the neck
to show the dimpled shoulders. or is
cut out as a mere excuse to I'LL in again
with lace.
This is the leading and favOrite model
this season for dancing school and jul

the white Swiss, Powered organdie or
striped batistes are, one and all, worn
over under slips of satin or taffeta. silk,
of high. clear blue, yellow, green or
pink. Infinitely brilliant combinations
are thus brought about and exagger-
ated by the use of gay ribbons, while
fashionable misses at dancing school
have all their wealth of locks held in
place by side or band combs of blonde
or richly marked shell, the tops out
lined in diamonds.
In the way of addenda to the ging
ham and gloria silk, from which hot
weather every day suits are made. it is
impossible not to notice that very high
laced dark brown leather shoes are en-
joying fine day of favor. and that
girls under 10 are wearing theirs with
socks just peeping over the shoe tops.
Black and brown, dark blue and car
dinal red are the suitable colOrs. A
valiant effort is being made to induce
youthful but none the less decided
femininity to accept the muslin sun
bonnets of genuine old-fashioned
shape, or very new and pretty hats
made all of bingham. The brims of
these are corded and shirred and edged
with embroidery, the crowns soft and
decorated with Bingham and en-
broidery pompons.
FOR LITTLE MEN.
Before the majesty of short skirts and
knee trousers distinguishes man from
womankin in the nursery, the most
charming crawling dresses are worn at
the moment of thin silk lawn over IN
derslips of bright silk or sateen and all
the maternal love for needlework splen-
doris can be satisfied by the variety and
elaboration of trimmings on the baby
gowns. Some of them show minimum
of lawn and a costly predominance of
lace, as do the new christening robes Of
pale pink china silk for boys and pale
blue for girls.
Happily it is not till boy firmly de-
taches himself from his mothers apron
string that he ventures to copy the
easy but most ungraceful fashions of
the grown-up of his sex. Until 16 the
average American boy Is picturesque
figure. worthy of the maternal pride
and extravaganza, too, for whether
turned out as a sailor lad or a simple
citizen, his costuming is as interesting,
complicated and it can be as expensive
a duty as the clothing of his sister. 1t
is only fair TO state, 10 inquiring and
ambitious mothers. that the intervals
of kits in her sons life can now al
most be dispensed with. Most well hab-
tied sons of watchful mothers go direct
from their baby skirts into sailor trous-
ers, and never know the indignity of
lingering in the feminine trappings of
plated petticoats. While little legs have
yet very smile sort of wobble they
are got right into wide-footed trousers
and, in place of blousy ruffied linen
shirts, short middy's sweaters are worn
under brief MILDLY jackets.
The sweater comes only just to the
hip line, finished fiat and close about
the neck, and the coat hangs open in
front, with rolling revers that end be-
hind in a large square collar. All the
summer suits on this cut are out now in
