Or Castor Shades of Felt wiu Re Pop
 uIar This Season.
 Coats are mostly of rough cloth for the larger girls and have camels hair finish. They have a plain, round, turn ed over collar and shoulder cape. Most of them are cut in the box shape. some with a slightly fitted back. They are trimmed with handsome silk braid in black and white patterns upon the edges of the collars and cuffs.
 Little tots usually have cloth coats for kindergarten wear, and these are elaborated about the collar and cuffs to suit the taste of the mother. Some of them have fancy silk collars stitched upon the cloth cape collar and are out lined with wide ecru lace of Plauen or Cluny variety.
 Heavy ecru lace will be worn upon school clotlle, this fall and winter and hand embroidery will be feature of the children's clothing.
 For school wear a number of white pique frocks, richly embroidered by leading houses, in point of style, in the city. Some of the broadcloth and flannel coats have double cape around the shoulders. One lies above the other. and both are lined. White silk is pop ular lining for coats. Some of the . sleeves have stitched box pleats to the elbow, where the pleats are finished | with several small silk or pearl but : tons.
 Little flannel and cloth reefers are cut box fashion and finished with large pearl buttons down the front, while coats for larger children often appear with the new bishops collar front and a pointed back.
 1 Most of the school hats are in light brown or castor shades of felt Some have camel's hair finish, and many are large. Medium sized hats, with brims that turn up 8 bit around the edges, are simply trimmed with quills and loose bands of twisted velvet or silk ending in knots and bows at the back or side.
 For early fall wear pretty hats are made of straw in brown, with bands or brims of natural straw color and trim mings of fancy straw braids combin- iEg the colors of the hat and tied into loops with bows. The effect of the straw trimming in these tones is most i stylish. Quills are often run through knots of fancy straw braid at one side of the hats and also through bows and knots of silk or velvet, where these materials are employed as trimmings Some dainty school aprons are made with a square bib, that has rows of hemstitching in the corners and some- times tucks hemstitched at the upper edges. The shoulder strap which ex- tends from the belt in front to the fas- tening in the back, is bordered by a hemtstitched ruffie, wide upon the shoulders and narrow at the waist line. The strap is hemstitched at its inter- section with the ruffie. The bottom of the apron has wide hemstitched hem and the whole nearly covers a school | frock
 Underskirts for school children are trimmed with rows of lace inserting l and lace ruffies, with occasional rows of small tucks. Incidentally the pretty | lawn kimonas made for children might be mentioned as we'll as the coats for the little tots made of canvas cloth in ecru over blue, or cream over pink, and outr,ed with rich ecru lace. The collars of these fairylike coats are made of Point de Venise over the silk, and pleated ruffies of the latter extend be- yond the edges of the lace.-New York Herald.
