that never change offer many advantages.
Warmth, comfort and good health will all
go with these costumes, so by all means
lot us give our babies the picturesque Hol-
land costume
Russian blouse suits are quite well liked
for boys, and for "dress up" one Of this
fashion was made of white serge, trimmed
wherever boys clothes can properly be
ornamented with pale blue worsted braid.
All the Russian blouse suits have the PAN
falcons gathered at the knees. For white
suits white stockings must be worn and
tan shoes. Where 1T Is preferred and mos
quitoes are scarce short socks are pretty.
In passing through large manufaGSories
and large stores given entirely to children g
wear one finds after seeing so much and
such varied assortment of everything
that one or two things scarcely noticed at
the time seem to stand out in ones mem
ory. One of these just now shows a mark
ed return to guimpe effects for girls of all
ages, from the mite of baby to the girl
just ready to "put her hair up"
In very many cases this effect is achieved
by O postiche collar of different material
from the dress, most often being Of white
embroidery, with deep rufile all around
the edge made of the dress goods. Quite
number have full baby waists outside the
guimpe, but the most Of them have the
snug Holland bodice, with full gathered
skirt. Certainly not all are Hollandish,
for they will not suit all tastes, and many
mothers will wait until the fashion be-
comes q fad before adopting 1t for their
darlings.
The other after remembrance was that
there is great deal Of rich dark red used
in children's clothes as the material or
trimming There was a black cashmere
frock for girl of 10. This had poppy red
dots in ID as big as dimes. The skirt was
laid in side plsits all around, and there
was REFER jacket Of the same with a
great white collar trimmed with red braid
The jacket hung open over a red vest with
a white fouled anchor worked in front
Sailor suits will probably always be in
fashion, with triGing changes
! remember also of thinking that / new
er saw so many norfolk jackets before
They were in all 81 -es, for boys, and 1t
seems, too, that boys shirt waists are plain
er In finish and greatly diminished as to
collar. l know the boys will like that, for
have heard many expressions Of impa-
thence regarding those deep collars that

upward around the ears when there was a
| breeze.
The serpentine flounce, rufae and cape
too are all shown among the dresses for
the larger girls. Smoking, especially the
yokes Of dresses, Is often seer, and Bull
| garian embroidery done on canvas In the
dull silks affected for that kind is one af
the neatest and most durable Of the trim
mings for ohildren's wear. A yoke win
be cut Of the canvas, and the lower edge
will be wrought with this needlework
the neckband the same, and perhaps belt
ana GUNS. Wherever 10 Is done II N ust be
on the straight of the cloth. Regular shirt
waists are made of white null silk or veil

is cut away, and there are but caps instead

The front 's also cut away and strapped
