JUVENILE FINERY FOR HALLOWEEN AND OTHER FESTIvITIE

ers who know the value of the simple sum-
mer patterns wisely lay in materials this
time for winter use All little striped and
spotted and figured silks with white
background are good choices, and since the
material is already handsome economies
may be made in the way of trimming.
a full skirt, fitted with tucks at the hips
and with wider ones and a deep hem Dor
derng it, is one excellent jupe model for
these simple silks. The bodice may be
fastened at the back or in the front. and
upon it is lavished the extra decoration
lace, chiffon, velvet or ribbon--used. mex
penSive laces also show up well inset in
bands, which may be emphasized by an
edge of velvet or satin ribbon; or tiny
frills may have thin lace edges or others of
chiffon gathered in full ruches. White is
far more admired for young girl ages than
color, white shoes and hair bows adding
to the virginia. ensemble. Lovely hair orna-
mentS for maiden ages are also Seen--rlb-
bon bandeaux with side knots of little
flowers, wreaths and delicate sprays. A
new thing in jeweiry is a fine hair chain of
platinum or gold, upon which is hung a
huge round locket with a quaint old-time
chasing. The smaller girls wear little heart
shaped lockets of gold or turquoise on
thicker gold chains, or maybe necklaces of
bright red branch coral which is beautiful
ticoat. the wash thing is invariably re-
CURED, but lawns and nansooks must show
pillows of lace and embroidery. Open work
and plain Isle stockings are also worn,
cate too much vanity in their daughters
preferring them to silk.
Charming details to look for when getting
up the party costume are the wide Dresden
sash ribbons whose delicate colorings ac-
cord perfectly with white costumes; fine
lawn handkerchief with narrow Valen-
ciennes borders and gauze fans made in
the shape of flowers.
For Small Gallants.
For the small boy from 4 to who is
to wear velvet suit-black, red or dark
blue-a pointed Vandyke collar in hand
some lace would be in keeping. With white
cloth and pique Russian suits for baby
boys collars of fine embroidery, and the
lad who has come to the dignity of a Tux
edo evening suit, which is shown for ages
from twelve up may wear white pique
or silk waStcoat which is his papa's in min
lature. For the younger boys the Tuxedo
suits have knee trousers; after fourteen
they are long, patent leather pumps assum-
ing them the exact grOWn-up stamp. The
youths party tie Seems to be a mooted
question, for it is as often OF black satin
as of white lawn. Boys from three to
twelve wear wide scarf ties Of bias silk,
and a rich red is a frequent color for these
But, with all this talk of party dress, a
word as to the party itself, for there are
some new and entertaining wrinkles. Birth
day parties are pink, blue or yellow, the
candles of the cake and all the table deco
rations taking to this color. The souvenirs
for the guests are also in the party color.
and may take the form of boutonnieres for
the boys and fans for the girls. AT Hallow-
cen parties, at which a Jack Horner pie
is made by a huge paper pumpkin, the
souvenirs are dragged out at hazard at the
ends of strings which the guests pull. So
it comes about sometimes that the fun is
increased by boy getting fan and d
girl a box of chocolate cigarettes. For
where's the fun if things don't make be-
lieve?
