Paris June 3.-The children and
babies of Paris are having their day
now. They are out in the parks and
gardens in full force with their pretty
summer toilets. A prettier and more
attractive lot of babies would be hard
to find anywhere.
I must except the wee-wees in long
clothes, though, for there is something
rather uncanny about these little olive
skinned wee-wees, with their thick dark
hair and bright blue eyes. And l find
myself wishing for sight of the fair,
bald-headed. shiny-skinned babies, that
are the every day babies in America.
There must be something rather I'M
satisfactory about giving a French
baby its morning bath, for it never
shines in a way that suggests warm
water and soap. Olive-skinned babies
never do seem to respond TO soap and
water like fair bald-headed babies.
JUNE BABIES.
French baby's surroundings and
the little accessories Of its toilet best
tell of the care bestowed on it. One
is obliged to notice the sheer little hand
made garments that bear the odor OF
orris and the elaborate bonnets that
are all decked in hand embroidered
chiffon and dainty ribbons.
One gets a good satisfactory glimpse
Of habv as he is carried along by his
imnosing nou-nou, who never hustles,
hit glides slowly down through the
walks Of the Bots or Luxembourg, with
her long bonnet ribbons fluttering full
two yards down her back.
Her long cape, which reaches to the
hem Of her gown, is no longer OF cloth.
During the summer weather she wears
long zane that IS made of some pale
shade of pique or bingham, and the long
sash ribbons on her cap match the
color of her cape Some Of the very
swell nou-nous dress entirely in white
even wearing white shoes.
It is rather fad here for the Wee
wees that come during the summer
months to have their first clothes made
several inches shorter than the ordin-
airy infants long clothes.

babys clothes made short because II

have several things for cleaning dresses
without washing them. They rub a
mixture of magnesia and powdered
chalk upon the dirty spots Of the little
white pique dresses, and after leaving
it there over night brush it off, often
carrying away the dirt with it. There
are also liquid preparations for taking
spots out Of dresses.
DRY CLEANING.
There is a process called dry clean
ing. It is applied to very nice dresses
for children and with great success.
This dry" cleaning is said to be moth
ing more or less than gasoline. The

however. is that gasoline is very in

causing an accident. Those who know
how to use the inhammable substances
achieve very niaa rssults h. aiDD.szRss
the dresses in them and carefully touch
ing the spots OF course, it does not
in any way mark the goods.
After the washing is done the dress
must be carefully ironed, and the result
when completed is very good.
Kid gloves are often cleaned in this
way.and the same process applied more
carefully to little dresses can be very
nicely carried out.

GINGHAM DRESSES.
An attractive little gown of Scotch
plaid Bingham, green and blue, is made
on the bias The waist is plain and is
trimmed around with three bias folds
Of the bingham finished at the lower
edge with tiny frills of ecru batiste
headed with a narrow beading. Maj
row green ribbon is slipped through the
beading. The sleeves are bishop
sleeves, finished at the wrist with bias
bands of the bingham, edged with
batiste frills.
Over the tops of the sleeves fall two
wide frills of the batste embroidery.
The skirt is a full skirt cut on the bias,
with the fullness all gathered to the
back. A sash of broad almond green
taffeta ribbon is worn with this frock.
1t is tied in a bow at the back with
short loops and ends reaching to the
bottom of the skirt.
CLEANING DRESSES.
There is a tendency, very slight, and
still you notice it, to make dresses for
children that are not what you call the
wash variety"
The idea of a child in a solid gown is
not a pretty one, but, on the other hand
by careful planning, childrer's summer
dresses can be made so that they do not
need their daily duck in the tub. Win
ter dresses do net wash, and on the
same principle the little summer robes
can be planned so that they do not
need the eternal scrubbing necessary
for calicoes and ginghams.

The wraps that very young babies
wear are made of silk or pale shades Of
lightweight cashmere.
There is a charming variety In the
toilet of the young children. They
come to the parks in the mornings in
their pretty light pique coats, and
when the sun begins to shine in full
force they doff their coats and play in
their attractive little frocks that are
made Of all sorts of wash fabrics.
COATS FOR THREE YEAR-OLDS.
A sweet little coat l saw on little
girl Of three was made of pale pink
pique. 1t was made with three fiat box
plaits back and front that came from
the neck. Between the plaits were
strips of Irish point. The Collar was a
small turnover collar, covered with
! Irish point. and the littlt lat sleeves
were finished with small pointed cuffs
of the Irish point.
noticed a number Of pretty little
frocks of ecru lawn that were trimmed
with narrow Valenciennes lace and
bright ribbons.
A dainty little ecru lawn gown that l
saw on a grille of three had a neck that
was a trife too low and square, with
tiny full edginig of Valenciennes finish
ing it. The yoke was square, with the
tucks running crosswise over the shoul-
ders. At the bottom of the yoke there
was a band of tucks running length
wise. with squares of Valenciennes lace
between. The yoke was finished with
frill of the Valenciennes lace all around.
The little frock was made with a full
baby waist and the waistband was
covered with a pale blue satin ribbon
tied in two bows at the sides. The
skirt was full with band of perpen-
dicular tucks and squares of Valencien-
mes Just above the hem.
These little ecru lawn frocks are al
ways worn over slips Of light-colored
silk.
CHILDREN'S PETTICOATS.
The newest petticoats for children
that are TO be worn with light summer
gowns have a ruffie five inches wide
sewn in over the skirt of the petticoat
at the back. 1t keeps the skirt from
shrinking at the back. 1t serves as a
sort of hustle. Many of the little girls
wear bonnets of straw that are trim
med with big full frill chiffon in bright
colors. so that their faces are almost
hidden.
For little boys the sailor suit and pat
ent leather sailor hat is the most popu-
lar morning toilet. A sailor suit that

was an Eaton, and opened over a jersey
of blue silk, trimmed in white braid.
The trousers were long and full at the
bottom.
Ecru linen and white duck are en-
ployed in making dressy little summer
suits for boys, especially for little boys
! that have not graduated from kits.
| A dress for cool afternoons designed for
a girl of eight, is made of Indian cash
mere in light shade of almond green.
The waist is gathered full at the shout
ders in the front and the fullness is
gathered down into a belt of dark
green taffeta that is trimmed round
with white soutache. The broad
square sailor collar is of green taffeta,
bordered with three rows Of the braid.
The sleeves Of the green cloth are tight
fitting and mounted with short puffs.
