silks allowed children. But the shoulder
strappng of the dressy suspender frocks
must be in the form of trimmed breteIes.
and a pretty idea is to have front and
back bib piece, which make the bodice very
complete The white null or net bodice
worn with such dress should also have a
fxy touch, such as slight decolletage-a
little round out, marguerite square
and fussy elbow or short sleeves But a
dress like this, of course. would need to be
for very smart occasion. and for most
Juvenile summer festivities the get-up Is
very simple. At the shops the white wash
frocks shown for gala wear are not even
cut out at the neck. a filmy CAMP and
sash giving the party touch.
All party accessories accord In a smart
get-up and shoes. stockings and pettfcoats
are sometimes very elegant A birthday
cake which recently burned but seven little
candles was graced by a hostess with real
lace upon her petticoats, with silk stockings
and bracelets. JeweIry has again come to
be quite the thing for children, and the old
short chains of white or pink coral, or of
gold with locket charms, are considered a
necessary part of every festive toilet.
Smart and Pretty.
The smartness of the party coiffure de-
ponds much upon the way the hair ribbon
is tied, for the correctly manipulated white
or colored halrbow stands up like broad
butterfly. Strap slippers of black patent
leather or white or colored kid and short
socks are smart foot dressings for the
younger maids. The smaller boys wear the
same style of heelless shoe. though 1t is
generally of black patent leather, while the
bigger girls slipper may have heels and
several straps
Delicious and inexpensive little party fans
are of painted gauze cut in the shape of
flowers There are also little butterfly and
plrG and moth fans. which tiny maids find
vastly entertaining.
As TO the sQuires of these dainty demoi-
seiies. the limitations of their summer party
hnery may be understood. The boy who
goes to birthday afternoon can only wear
his summer BEST and the character of that
best will depend upon his age. For little
boys, laddies under five and a shade over
etc, Is the smart thing. These dear little
suits, which seem so babyish with the strap
slippers and big sailor hats worn with them,
now constitute almost entirely the baby
boy getup. The party ones are in white,
pale pink and blue. the band OF the sailor
hat matching, and sometimes the little
socks After five, knee length sailor suits
or Whlte duck or pique, extra smart as to
the quality of the embroidered emblems on
the sleeve and shield, are worn. And after
that again, the boy being on his way to
his teens or perhaps IN them. the sacque
coats and knee trousers which are his livery
can only be sma,rtened by Immaculate ac-
cessories The summer suits in pale fan
neis, displayed for boys from twelve up, are

caston Is an evening one. But at any time
only white linen should be worn and black
patent leather supplies the most elegant
foot covering.
