One innovation that especially pleased me
is the adoption of rainy day and pedestrian
skirts. They are universally worn on the
streets. and the long skirts are the excep-
lion. The loss to the scavenger is something
but the personal gain is great. Rainy day
skirts clear the ground by four inches; pedes-
tran skirts are little longer. In addition
TO the short skirts the lady clerks in all of
the large stores wear black costumes with
white collars and cuffs. The effect is pleas
ing. and II doubtless saves expense in dress.

the Paris modistes make the children's
dresses. And that is why the little ones
wear the colors and the fabrics OF the
grown-ups. Their styles, too, partake OF
the same nature. The same styles are
seen reproduced in tiny fashions that are
very catching.
II was only recently that the children of
Paris had fashions of their own. Former
" the little ones were dressed in a long
loose cloak and were sent out to walk
daily In the sun, growing up in obscu1ty
not to emerge until their marriage. That
was the old fashioned French way. But
now 1t is different in these fin de steele
days The Countess De Castellane gowns
her children in very charming little modes
and the rest of fashionable Paris does
likewise.
While the same straight lines are fol-
lowed in the cut of the clothes the little
tots wear you see a great variety Of ma
terial. The newest silks, Pekin chasseau.
cordonnets brooches and taffeta brooches are
employed in making the long coats and
the little dresses that are worn under the
coats.
For a child the simpler the material tho
more appropriate Is a general rule. But
there are exceptions. While the dress may
be of wash material, of challie, null,
cambria and soft wash cachenire, the
cloak may be of silk, or satin, of the newer
velvets and of any other handsome ma
terial obtainable.

dress, which we'll illustrates the correct
model OF the new plated skirt The long
graceful folds of Mrs. Kemp's gown fall
at the back in triple box plat. which
widens into rippies as it nears the hem.
The skirt is gored. and the box plat is not
merely additional fulness at the back,
but is cut in A separate piece, giving
peculiar, graduated sweep. The plat Is
finished at each side with stitched bands.
Other bands define the skirt opening,
which Is not at the back, but at one side.
The coat of this costume is trimmed
with chinchilla fur, and the bodice is
of guipure lace over white satin. The
muff carried was a large one of black
velvet trimmed with chlnchila and wound
about n scarf of shaded gray tullo.
Mrs. Kemp wore also a very long chin
