the waistline. Similar decorations are
used on the shoulder caps and sleeves.
Children's party dresses are some
times silks in dainty stripes and rose
bud patterns, sometimes of novelty
goods in silk and wool, and sometimes
of colored net, trimmed with narrow
satin ribbons. Dance dresses for the
tiny tots are made of taffeta and wash
silks usually; but liberty woods, crepe
de chine and light-colored cashmeres
are also used.
For a Christmas party Of very small
children is little gown of white china
silk, accordion plated, with little en-
pire over-bodice of white satin covered
with lace, dotted here and there with
silver spangles. Though not so univer-

not gold.
A trife more grown-up is frock Of
white bengaline, trimmed with lace in

The handsomest coats for children
are made of ribbed and plain velvets,
bengalines and corded silks. Next to
these come those of smooth-fnished
cloths, Venetian cloths and camel's
hair. Even for the smallest sizes of
these garments, the circular flounce is
employed, just as for the richest of
long coats for women. For quite young
children a pretty design has skirt
and waist, with belt, sash and deep
collar covered with trimming.
For the Christmas gathering Of q
dancing class is dress of bright red
net over red taffeta. The skirt. of a

at the bottom with three narrow ruches
of the net. and is circled higher up with
graduated rows of red satin ribbon.
