n
tie men and women to be this year
in their picturesque frocks. The
saucy short skirts for the maids and
the dignifed blouse for the men was
a happy inspiration. Only the clever.
est of designers are now assigned style
study for little folk. No more will
their habiliments be Secondary in
household economy. The quaintest of
fasbion-cut, the daintiest of sewing
the choicest of fabrics is none too good
scarcely good enough-for these au-
tocrats Of the home.
This week, In noting the many limo
Nations for the season, present and TO
come. one can but marvel at the true
artistic beauty. For girls dresses the
sheerest, finest of lawns are used with
most delicate laces and exquisite hand
work. and the garments for tiny boys
are not less interesting.
Through the windows and in the
shops these are seen
Boys blouse suits Of white linen,
cuffs and sailor collars Of red linen,
although some had blue for trimming,
with leather belts to match the color:
the shields for the collar fronts were
embroidered daintiIy-not with the
stereotyped anchor or crossed pipers
horns-but with pretty all-over pat
tern in white.
Another suit for boy was Of Yale
blue cloth trimmed with wide and mar
row white silk braid down the front
of the rather military effect blouse.
while the close fitted collar had a
dainty pattern of fancy stitches done
by hand; the sleeves we're pronounced
" mandolin, with the white braid put
on in tabular effect over the shoulders
and on down TO the elbows; the full
ness faring out toward the back.
For a simple style of boys suit this
one caught the eye: Made of natural
COlored linen with long blouse tucked
and stitched to the belt line and al
lowed to flow free below, forming a
skirt and closed invisibly from top
10 bottom with suappers; collar, belt
and cuffs of white linen.
One clever little suit had a double
usefulness in that il was for boy or
girl White linen was it made of and
with boys blouse-lile waist the
short skirt attached and the belt of
blue linen which covered the joining
made it altogether very boyish, yet
the jaunty touch was peculiarly be-
coming to a girls suit. The blouse
fastened on one side and the material
being in diced pattern, opportunity
was taken to work in some hand
stitches on the collar and cuffs.
A pale blue nuns yelling dress for
a tiny miss was seen. Made. of
course. with the short skirt and long
bodice-on the bodice a broad bertha
of lace that hung far down front and
back and over the shoulders and
which at will could be removed to re-
veal a pretty low neck effect. The
sleeves were mere puffs.
A Fl Of pa1n
linen; the short box plated skirt had
tabs of cut-Out embroidery-fve Of
them. one directly in front. one at the
sides and two in the back. The blouse
bodice had tabs of the cut-Out work
over the shoulders and down the front;
sleeves were bishop with fancy stitches
on cuffs; the stand-up collar had also
fancy stitch pattern.
An airy-faiTy little gown for a miss
of s or that made doting mammals
go into raptures was one of softest
white nainsoOk; the skirt was in per
pendiCular tuck effect-very tiny tucks
over which fell in overskirt fashion
a flOunCe Of handsome lace; the long
waist was entirely Of tiny tucks alter
mated with insertions of sheerest en-
brOidery: the shallow yoke was round
and made of insertions put together
with fancy stitches.
1dnQhercnleI DerInaS on lLlle girls
dresses are quite becoming and are
gaining in favor. One. cunning LITTLE
fICck shown was made OF pale blue
mercerizCd chambray. the waist had
three horizontal tUCks front and back:
the yoke was laid in fine tucks and the
handkerchief bertha had frill Of
white embroidery with three tucks
above. The sleeves below the Shout
ders had three tUcks and were full al
the wrist: cuffs and collar Of Whit
embroidery: skirt made with horizon
tai tuCks above the hem.
White Bedford cord is favorite fab
rio for children's coats. one i'm a dowT
town window was quite attractive and
pretty; box style with deep collar o
cut-out work that had been button
hOIed and Over-stitched with a palt
pink cotton; mandolin sleeves. Still
another had two shoulder capes. tbs
upper one prettily embroidered.
y coat of pongee was another favor
ite: three-qUarter length; the from
Fastened TO one side with white sill
loops. the collar embroidered i'm white
bell sleeves with white silk lining.
Some fetching little coats for girli
are made of peau de sole. In one o
the shoo windows was one of whit
with red trimmings: tabs of red on TIL
shoulders: the sleeve caps lined will
