Russian blouse, and smock suits worn
by boys from two to eight years of

Still another revival is the neat little

Some exquisite little frocks-for,
be it observed, the old-fashioned Eng

fashionable fo1l1-are to be found in
the high-class shops, dainti1y made

belt of insertion is edged with the EN-.

gathered front and standing collar,
and a strap at each side for the belt,
which is trimmed with black silk

made with bloomer trousers The
material used is dark blue cloth, and
the trimming is of white silk soutaehe
and small pearl buttons.
More elaborate is one of dark red
velvet, with shield and revers trimmed
with strips Of white-corded velvet. A
white kid belt is worn with it.
