The First short Dresses.
The first short dresses which sue

simplicity. The boys dresses are
somewhat palmer than the girls from
the beginning All of the good, ready
made styles display the most deIica te
needlewOrk with the sheerest wash
materials, especially for girls, the full

from yOkes in many novel forms. Pale

A few of the smart baby-girl frocks

Among the novelties for such ages

QUAINT REVEALS
IN UPHOLSTERY.

Far be it from the mistress Of a
fashionable home of to-day to permit
of such incongruities in her drawing
room as a Directoire gown spread in
it multitudinous folds, over the up
holstery of a 1904 chair; or a Louis
XVI. toilette sihouetted against twen-
tieth century hangings. She uses bet
ter judgment in the fitness of things
than to ask her fashionable guests to
lend themselves to so inconsistent a
setting. She has at least one room
done in the colors and upholsteries of
the periods which have been so stren-
uously dragged to the front this win
ter.
Tapestry squares, for setting into
panels in the wall and for upholster-
ing chairs and divans, have been re-
vived, and importers are showing
them in elaborate designs and exquis-
ite textures. French scenes in the
early centuries and Holland barnyard
pictures are seen in many Of the
larger squares for couches and
screens, while the bits for chairs
both back and seat, are more often
worked in a single crown, a peasant
figure or a dragon head. These uphol-
steries show to best advantage when
mounted on furniture of heavy carved
oak or mahogany.
French velour, both in fantastic de-
sings and in plain greens, reds and old
rose shades, are being used to uphol-
ster that heavy black furniture which
resembles ebony. For a library where
the light is good, this makes an effec-
tive furnishing, especially if velour

one Of the simpler of the little
saCQues seen at the Quitting places is
in kimona shape. and others are shaped
exactly like the paper doll garment,
back and front cut virtually alike.
These are very useful, for the operation
of getting into sleeves is a hateful one
in bahyland. Sleeves in this garment
are made by tying loose flaps after the
sacque IS adjusted.
UnderEarments Change Little.
Infant undergarments change but lit
tie. There are little protective pants"
which are quite new, and warranted to
insure the neatness of fine outside
clothes. A good French petticoat mod
el is supplied with shoulder straps. This
sometimes has the straight band body
and skirt in one, the body being formed
by pleats.
As to dresses, all infants robes have
increased in delicacy and beauty and
they seem now to have reached point
where improvement would be impOssi-
BILE Made of the finest French lawns,
some of the long dresses display en-
broideries as beautiful as the ancient
work shown in museums. Louis mo-
tifs are especially employed for the
needlework wreaths tied with bows,
looping garlands and trellised vines,
while in cut the daintiest little froeks
go back to the old-robe designs with
the front all in one. A trimming, V
shaped, decks the front of some of the
short, low body frocks, whose skirts
Will likewise show the robe front, while
the sleeves are the merest cap of fine
needlework. In short. the design Of
this charming dress is exactly the
same as when babies wore low neck

and short sleeves, and were none the
worst for it The preferred long dress.
however, is cut with high neck and
long sleeves, and for those who cannot
afford the radiant Louis embroideries,
there are a number of charming models
with lace-edged frills and herringboned
tucks, in equally good taste.
Tho Christening Robe.
The long dresses supplied for chris
tening purposes are exceptionally love-
ly and are trimmed with real Valen-
ciennes. The spotless christening coat
is generally Of a soft ribbed silk. lined
with thinner silk, and trimmed at the
collar with deep French lace and en-
broideries. But many are seen in fam
cy and plain wools such as albatross.
cashmere, basket cloth, etc. Novel
silk gimps and embroideries trim the
collar, cuffs and sometimes the fronts
of these. The bottom of the coat is
almost invariably plain; the little
peasant cap has a ruched front, and is
as rich with real lace as the doting
mother can afford. Lastly, the fine
baby's christening shoes are Of en-
broidered silk or satin. the more
splendid of this royal foot wear show
ing a butterfly or bow knot in real
lace across the toe.
Prices for first-class christening
garments average as follows, the ex-

panels are inserted in the walls as a
background for pictures.
The importations of silk damask for
upholstering drawing room furniture or
luxurious boudoir chairs and couches
are so elaborate as almost to beggar
description. One piece of silk damaslz
with an ecru background done in rai5-
ed empire wreaths in palest blues and
pinks and festooned in broad, raised
bands of gold thread ribbon sells for
$40 yard. The embroidery is done
over a hand loom in the outskirts of
Paris, and is fashioned after the old
time upholsteries of France. The ma
terial is tifty-two inches wide, and
each chair takes two patterns, one for
the back and one for the seat. The
size Of the furniture will regulate the
proportion of one yard needed usual
ly three-quarters of yard will suffice.
The drawing room chair of the Louis
periods is not large and the frame
shows gold or gilt leaf.
A wool damask for more serviceable
wear comes in the old-fashioned de-
signs, and particularly popular this
season are the Nile green shades and
maroons with designs in yellow and
gold tones A good wool damask for
living room furniture can be purchased
for 81 or SO a yard, and as the pat
terms are irregular and not in indi-
Vidual designs there is no waste of the
material. The maChine-made silk
damasks are to be had for 81 and So
per yard.
An upholstery called by shoppers a
satin damask is nothing more than
silk damask finished in the glossy
sheen of satin. 1t is imported and
costs all the way from $40 to 500 per
yard. The domestic upholsteries are
being shown, but they lack the fine
ness of weave which gives charm TO
the foreign goods.
Much of the upholstery material for
boudoirs is done in designs of holly
hooks, butterflies and cupids, the latter
frolicking over the silk surface and
interviewer with lovers knots of rib
bon in glossy finish.

Naturally. of primary consideration
is the basket which is to hold the
first garments of the newborn as we'll
as the dainty toilet articles. Wicker.
witk silk and muslin Innings, made
smarter still with ribbon rosettes and
edgings of lace, continues to form
many of these charming receptacles.
But since Louis modes constitute
everywhere the top ruug of elegance,
novel French baskets are really fine
~ made boxes. covered with Trianon
and POmpadour silks in delicate pat
terms. Shirred pockets and lace-cov-
cred cushions render the interior Of
these most beautiful. and the hand
painting of the powder box and
brush matches the wreaths or garlands
of the silk.
One very beautiful box of this sort
was covered with a heavy blue silk
with a single embroidered wreath on
each panel and upon the top. Old

his existence in night gowns and out
ing flannel wrappers. But for the
child Of the silver or gold spoon it is
another thing, and along with gem
set toilet articles, and gold and moth
er-of-pearl rattles, are seen little gar
ments of wonderful beauty. The slip
form is used for most of the first
dresses, but the finest handwork and
daintest trimmings elaborate the bot
toms and yokes. Perhaps dozen
smart slips are provided, in materials
as fine a can be afforded. with an
equal number Of wrappers, made OF

The HosteIry Which the Talk Background

A new show place for clothes has
been opened in New York. The Metro
politan Opera House was formerly the
| standard setting for a public display
of dress and gems. Half the world
which patronizes grand opera went up
stairs to hear the music. The other
half stayed downstairs to sweep the
was the one place in which the social
elect were on exhibition before all who
would pay the price of admission.
Then came the Horse Show with a
display of dress, different, though
none the less striking. Now Dame
Fashion has decreed that the mag
nificent hostelries, built for the ever
increasing millionaire class, form eX-
actly the right background to set off

sink into insignfficance when compar-
ed to the sartorial splendors of the
women who patronize these, the fash
ion show places of the metropolis.
At the present moment the st. Regis
is the talk of two continents. 1t is
sometimes referred to as Col John
Jacob Astor's newest toy, built and
fitted at an expense of $8,000 900. Its
rates would seem to be prohibitive to

roses nestled quantity at the side of
the rut1ed bonnet. A number of the
picturesque bonnets for little maids of
walking age are trimmed with big
roses, and the felt flats from which
some of tn chats are made are quaint
ly doubled over in the grown-up way.
Shades of Gray and Brown.
Lovely shades of gray and brown
are employed, many of the velvets
showing the popular crushed patterns,
and cloaks in these and in silk and
cloth display fine collars and cuffs of
lace and batiste. For mild winter days
the lighter weight cloaks are all that is
necessary, and these can be made
warmer for colder days by wadded In
terlinings. But when winds are really
bitter, the fur coats look very stun
ming, and since fur is so fashionable
number of such warm coats will
doubtless be worn. Pure white eoney
with mole collar and cuffs. and the
same skin with a gray and white pow
dered effect, form a smart coat for
boys of two. A number Of girls coats
are of white bear cloth which COM
bines charmingly with Tibet furs,
and the buttoned boots which 20 with
such furry splendors are generally of
black patent leather, with white kid
upperS.
With these furry tops for both
sexes, the headgear takes on an added
warmth OF effect. The ruffied hoods
OF the girls, which are in white or
color, and in silk, cloth or velvet, as
the coat may require, have edges of
fur or swansdown, for this enchant-
ingly dainty trimming is once more
In vogue. New hats for boys are In
tam o shanter shape or Russian
style, these last with their stiff
brushes and silk gimps suiting the fur
materials splendidly. A white RUS
sian cap which accompanied coat in
white bear cloth for a boy OF two and
half showed a novel brush In gllded
wire, and was accompanied by white
leather leggngs with gilt buttons. All
OF the baby boys hats are supplied
with ear-haps, which may be assumed
when necessary. and FOR girls there
are lace and wool wells which look
