FASHIONS FOR LITTLE FOLK.
Pretty Bits of Finery That VIII He
In Vogue for the Summer
Season.

The children's clothes are all refiec-
ton of the 'grown-up" fashions, and
are only notifications of them. THERE'S
the same handwork, heavy laces, piping,
ruches, and the deep collars.
For dress materials linen is in great
vogue, and has to great extent super
seeded pique. The most popular colors are
the cool blues and greens and pinks and
ecrus, says American Queen.
For trimming, Russian cross-stitch
in reds and blues are especially popp-
lar. The ecru linens take these trim
mings very well, and pipings often add
to the pretty effect.
Pique has not, however, disappeared,
and dresses of light blue trimmed with
bands of white with finishing touch OF
French knots are much seen this sea-
son.
The wide collar is the feature OF chill
dren's costumes. A light collar will
greatly enhance dark, rather plain
looking dress. They are seen in linen,
applique on net, and lace. The child's
figure is greatly improved by the proper
shaping of the collar.
Plaids and checks are among the sea-
sons fads, and they are prettier than
ever. They are trimmed with bands or
pipings of plain colors by way of con-
trast, and with them are worn deep col
lars of the heavy lace SO popular this
season.
Simplicity should be the keynote in
dressing children, for any attempt at
elaborateness is always out of place on
a child. Pussy" dresses are in bad
taste; the simpler ones being far more
appropriate and becoming.
With the thin white wash frock the
choice is unlimited Dimities, lawns,
organizes, etc., are ell in demand, nor
can there be too many of them in the
child's wardrobe.
White is the note this season, and
although not SO economical, it is al
ways becoming to children.

ton that is hailed with delight by par

= Like many other men, Archie plays
poker once in awhile. but his wife's dis
approval of 1t is generally well voiced
and insistent, relates the New York
Sun. He had an engagement for little
party one Saturday night awhile ago.
He lost $66, and as he had 500 with him
when he started out he had just $34 left
when he got home 1t was o'clock, and
rather than be suspected of more serious
offences, he confessed that he'd been
playing poker. Taking tip from a
friend who uses that means successfully,
he put the $34 down on the chiffonier and
said:
my dear, I'm going to give you this
$34 that l won tonight. l had pleas

But madame declared that she would
never touch such ill-gotten money, and
so he agreed to buy her $35 jardiniere
that she had been wanting, and a piece
of dress goods. The next morning Mrs
Archie called him to find out if he was
going to church with her. He begged
off. When she came home he was Dress

"Yes," she said; II wasn't going to

was s66 lost, $34 to the aid society and
$50 in presents.
