cousins are all day in the hands of a gov

These two, a boy and a girl, are ex-
quisitely clad. The boy wears a coach
mans coat and Louis XIII hat. The
coat is of hunters green satin faced
cloth, with three capes falling owe the
shoulders, for wormth. 1t is buttoned
with large, white pearl buttons. There
is a turnover collar and there are cuffs.
The hat is of dark green felt rolling. Its
only trimming is a band of green satin.
Green broadcloth leggings complete
this suit, unless one mentions the heavy
n brilliant, polished enamel shoes and
the dark green cloth gloves which make
my little mar quite a gentleman in dress
and appearance.
The little girl wears a paletot of pink
bengaline, lustrous and pretty. 1t is
trimmed with beaver and with plaitings
OF pink taffeta which serves as a finish to
the foot of the garment and to the deep
collar.
The bonnet is no less a creation. 1t is
OF pink bensaiine, bordered with beaver
and trimmed with plaitings of pink tat
feta, quite the sweetest little bonnet you
ever saw.
The front of the little coat is scolloped
and the beave follows in scolloIs en-
tirely around the cloak. The fastenings
are three cornerec ornaments of beaver.

School dresses are so brilliantly pretty

A tasteful touch is given this dress by

IT is noticeable how beautifully the
children are groomed. They are brush

elders-a fine habit to form in a growing
girl.

row bands of black moiair braid. The
skirt was trimmed very artistically to
look as if it had a unic though it was a
habit back, all in one piece. 1t was
made rather full, as fullness is essential

h question of gowning the growing
girl SO that she will have a figure has
been solved by the couturiere. BY the
simplest effects of bolero and lapels she
manages to obtain her results. Trim
mings hide the fairness of chest and the
lOng, loose fronts conceal and make more
graceful the fat little figures.
Boys wear the very long blouse ana
the very short trousers, which show their
fat, red. little legs below. The stock
ings come to the calves of the legs and
are worn with stout, heavy soled Slip
pers. or ties. For street there are leather
leggings to which the boy soon becomes
accustomed and which he likes to wear.
For boys suits there are the mixed
goods of satin finish for the most SER
vlceable wear. The wool cheviots are
also recommended and then there come
the serges. the homespun and the Eng
fish Oxford which is the fashionable boys
cloth CT the year.
Such charming baby dresses are seen.
