FnILLs OF FASHION.

Variations in children's gowns bios
som out from time to time, even though
they are very slight, and small girls
rival their mothers In their ambition
to keep up to date.
Soft wool materials make up yer!
prettily in this way In figured French
flannel the collar may be made of tbs
same and trimmed with rows Of marrow
braid or velvet ribbon. Skirts Of thf
small gowns are usually plain, but the
older girls have some sort Of trimming
either tucks, stitched bands, ruf1es OF
velvet folds, stitched on.
The long WASTED mode, in which the
~ list line rounds down low in front
Is conspicuously evident among the
gowns for girls over 10 years Of age
and the small gowns for dainty little
girls OF initiate this fashion as mucl
as possible by having the long wais
ell around. Guimpe dresses, which
never seem to go+out OF style, are suit
able for all ages, from 6 to the more
mature years Of middle age,
Bolero jackets are very popular in
the kingdom Of small costumes, and the
attempt to produce the effect Of stolf
ends is seen in one little gown, whert
narrow lace revers are carried down tbs
entire length Of the front, as shown il
the Illustration. Another pretty effect
Is made by two box plaits in front, one
at either side from the yoke to the
hem, and two in the back, giving 3
long effect to the waist, which is de-
fined with narrow velvet belt ending
In small velvet rosettes at either side
of the front On the plaits. The skirt
gathers on to the waist between the
plaits, which apparently are a contin
uation of those in the waist. A sailor
collar Of lace covers the shoulders II
the back and opens in front over 9
yoke OF tucked white silk or batiste.
