old feeling of pride in Martha. He
was thinking that Martha was young

Never in the history of fashion has
infants wear reached such stage of
perfection, for it is more delcacy Of
work and material than showiness

are achieved, but they are accomplish

nearest the baby stage are distinguish
ed by both a doll like business and Il
sensible p1ainness. The plain gar
ments are those provided for school
wear, the tiny "kindergartens" tod
ding forth in quaint braid-trimmed
sacques and brilliant wool frocks
which look as comfortable as they are
pretty.
For girls from three to seven
years Of age there are long
cloth beaver and serge coats, whose
round skimp collars have a distinctly,
cid fashioned air. With these the ac-
cCmpanying boots have often tops Of
light cloth, plain or striped. A made

have merely a scarf of some bright

a ribbon ruche, one of travelled silk or

Many school Jackets are seen on the
REFER order, such sorts showing de-

of bright color on them and the cuffs

these, the felt models often showing

blue-will be used for them. They are,
however, the privilege of the house on
ly, for on going out the child in arms
must be attired in pure white. The
only touches of color in good taste
are pink roses, which in tiny shape are
mingled with the lace ruchng of the
bonnets of the youngest babies. These
are more often a shirred model than in
Dutch cap form, and with them will
be worn long wells of white lace net.
The ornamentation of these wells is
simple, some delicate lace flower or
love knot design showing mainly at
the bottom edges. The sides of the
wells are finished with fine lace
braid, and the top gathers over a rib
bon which holds them around the
crown of the bonnet.
The length of the infant robe is far
less extravagant than formerly, and
three months is now considered the
proper age for putting on short
dresses. Nainsook and French null
are the materials most employed for
dresses, though thin lawns are also
much used. Dresses in these materials,
if they are for ordinary wear, are made
up as usual with square or pointed
yokes, bishop sleeves and simply
hemmed skirts. The more splendid
brodery and fine stitchery down the
entire front, but newer arrangements
confine the skirt trimming to the bot
tom. There sometimes rises at the
front in a point, or in som other orna-

Superb laces are employed upon the
silk and cloth cloaks which cover these
wash dresses which in the most splen-

purposes. An effect of airiness, as well
as lightness of weight, is also much
liked, and in more than one case this
will be achieved through a complete
cloak of chiffon or lace net, hung loose
~ over a wadded silk lining. The
dropping collars which widen the little
shoulders often hang to the waist, and
the under bottom of the coat is not
infrequently fluffy with lace and chif-
fon flounces.

COMPLEXION
POWDER FOR
EVERY SKIN

Only a few years ago milady was
forced to be content with just two
colors of face powder, chalk white and
rose. Both of these were easily dis
cernible, for they made her either too
red or too pale.
Nowadays there are no less than
fifteen distinct powders adapted to all
sorts and colors of complexion, from
that of the dusky belle of the Sand
WITCH Islands, the sunburnt beauty of
Narragansett Pier, and the rudy
cheeks of the western plains, to the
pale and fragile complexion of the
young woman who never exposes her
face. unveiled, to the caresses of wind
and sun.
Not only are there fifteen tints of
complexion powders, but they are put
up in different forms to suit different
occasions. There are liquid powders;
which are to be shaken before taken"
Pulverized powders are to be applied
with a puff or bit of chamois leather.
Hard powders are put up in cakes of
different sizes, intended to be squeezed
INTO the JlIly compartments OF purse
or chatelaine powder box, or fitted
into dainty silver box for travelling
purposes.
OF the hard powders one carries a
cake of the tint of her own complex
ion and a tiny cake of rouge, for
blushing purposes. Poets have sung
the beauties of the blush for so many
ages that women have come to be-
lieve in it, too and apply it, with
more or less of art, on most oc-
casions.
In applying liquid powder the face
is first well washed, dried and rubbed

rarely worn outside. AS to school
gloves, for the youngest children they
are invariably in wool mitt form. For
older children the finger gloves of silk
and wool provide stylish hand wear
and these have the added advantage
of being suited to both sexes.
Like the change from the chrysalis
to the butterfly is the step from the
young childs school toys to her best
bib and tucker. Under this head, in
the wardrobes of smart children, are
included street gowns Of white silk,
showing rich laces and beautiful
needlework. Such costumes are top
ped by white cloth or silk coats, upon
which both ermine and lace may APP
pear, the white bonnet also showing
these decorations.
For dressy occasions nothing is con-
sidered more effective than white for
girls below 8. Even their silk stock
ing and boot uppers will show this
chasteness, which, the colder the day,
the more charming it seems.
The shirred silk and panne bonnets
worn by these small elegants are feats
of French millinery. In the fluffy
frills which completely surround them,
fine blond laces are mingled; one or
more wide ostrich feathers may appear
at one side, and with a delicious in
difference to the season there may be
a large pink rose as well.
Apropos of these pink roses, which
profusely deck both juvenile and
grown up millinery, some Dutch bon
nets for toddling babies show small
ones in big punches at each ear. This
arrangement is intensified by a
straight Dutch fall of lace below the
roses, the close cap itself being severe
ly plain or, at most. trimmed across
the top with ribbons or flowers. The
mechanism Of such a piece of millinery
is of the simplest. The cloth or silk
is most often plainly stretched over a
buckram frame with perhaps a dou-
Bile fold edged with a narrow lace
ruche finishing the front. The Dutch
trimming described is then put on.
Hooded in this way, a little maid
tottering through the foyer of fash
ionable hotel wore an ankle length coat
of champagne colored cloth trimmed
with Irish lace. The body of the bon
net was of the coat material, and the
