Goats for little folk are not so picturesque
and AIRED and elaborate as those Intended
Cor their elders, but they are uncommonly
attractive this year, and the wee woman
NAV even possess an evening coat which
definitely proclaiIns its purpose.
For daytime wear cloth is the preferred
rost material, provided the small girl Ia

designs Of the embroidery lavished upon

The new soft Bengalines are popular for
dressy coats. even after the girl has passed
The baby stage, and many We vets and vel

have seen some exquisitely dainty little

Other velvet coats of the same grade

their trimm ng; but these, though more
elaborate, are hardly so smart as the little
plain coats of handsome velvet with cum
ming cuff and collar finish Of all white err
mine, or white fox or chinchills or beaver.
Many of the cloth coats, too. are fur
trimmed. and certain models OF military
aspect are delightful little affairs. There
was a delicate pastel blue cloth. for ex-
ample, with frogging of blue braid n a
little military shoulder cape and with collar
and cuffs of sealskin; and another Goa in
the same shop was made in scarlet cloth,
With black frogging and collar and Hffs

Bright red Is always a favorite for chill
dren's coats and, provided the wearer's

is more p.qusnt and practical for tho small
girls general year Black il the most
satisfactory relief for the scarlet, and the
best Of the red coats are plainly tailored,
With mere notes Of black at the throat and
perhaps on the sleeves.
A good model of this type in red cloth
snd black velve is pictured here. and the
arrangement of the tabs buttoning across
the pla ted fulness of the side fronts is
particularly good. The collar design, too,
has a touch of novelty, and it is in such
title deta Is as this that the success Of q
cloth coat les.
Black velvet buttons are the usual thing
upon the black trimmed scarlet coat. A
heavy scarlet serge or cheviot is often used
N place OF the smooth cloth and is quite as
smart, though not quite so handsome.
Capes figure prominently upon the chill
iren's coats. and tile triple capee shaped to
lie smoothly and ripple at the edges fall
Just over the shoulder points of many of
the attractive ia lored coats.
The two white cloth models OF the
cuts show such cape arrangements, but
With a difference in shape and adjustment,
me cape being round, the other falling
N square corners. A little black velvet was
iced on each OF these models. and both
white cloth and white cheviot ara inn

Braiding is to be found upon children's
coats as upon those for grownups, but very
little Of it is used upon the models displayed
ny the most exclusive outfitters OF children;
md the palmer models, relying upon the
quality OF their materials, their tailoring
and the original details Of cut, collar, &c,
ere far smarter than the deliberately braided
'osts. Swapping and stitching are usually
more effective than braid. and sometimes a
lit Of handsomely embroidered linen or a
ouch Of hand embroidery upon velvet or
silk is introduced at the throat, though
his is more common upon coats Of velvet or
silk than upon those of cloth.
Many fancy pushes designed especially
for children's coats are on the market
and some Of them are very pretty, particu-
'arly those in white and in silvery gray,
'ut in these little shades they soil too readily
% be very practical. We have seen some
very modish little brown coats in these
Dlushes, with trimming of brown silk braid
and buttons of dull gold set with imitation
topaz. and one knowing coat for a girl Of
b or 8 Was OF soft gray plush that looked
much like chinchilla and was trimmed in
gray velvet n very narrow silver braid
and silver buttons, with knots of rose color
satin and gray velvet at the throat.
Caracul n imitation caracul in brown,
gray and white are sometimes used by the
designers Of children's coats, and cunning
'itte muffs 10 match are provided with
he coats. The small childrep's furs are
really bewitching now, being no longer
nonhned to models suggesting the domestic

The angora Is still used, but ermine,
especially the all white ermine, is presented
