reputation az being "a bottomlcSS pit. The

GIRLS FASHIONS.
Costumes Of various Descriptions
For young Peoples wpnr.

The costumes Of girls follow the changes
of the mode but with notifications, as
girls are always dressed more simply. For
example, the fashion of rullicd skirts
grows constantly In favor, but girls skirts
have but one rufllc instead Of many, al
though this ruflle may be trimmed with
lace insertion, Ralluon, stitched bands or
satin folds. The skirt, whether it is plain
or trimmed, is cut close at the top and
flaring ot the foot. Some have yoke with
= deep louEco mounted with n beading
Guipurc lace applied Hat or in ruillcs and
incrustations Of velvet or lace are favorite
decorations for childrcn's attire
For girls the blouse is always appropri-
ate, as it allows freedom of movement and
also conceals the anRularity of the grow
ing age. Little coat bodiccs opening over
full front are also employed very salts
factcrily. Ribbons are again in great de-
mand and arc used profuscly on children 8

Of silk and mousseine dc sole conunue TO
add their attractions 10 fashionable attire,
and jeweled buttons give the finishing
touch.
Coat bodices are leading to n revival of
the old style of having avest of different
color and material from the rest of the
gown, buttoned with smaller buttons The
effect is pleasing, especially for women
past their youth, as it is digniiicd and
courtly. or course there are many varia'
tions of the vest-Siugle and double breast
ed, with rcvors and without and in fact
as much diversity as possible.
The coat shown IN the sketch is of gold
en- brown velvet with ValoiS collar lined
with ivory satin and ivory satin reverS.
The fronts and the cuffs are ornamonted
with jeweled buttons. The vest of ivory
