NEw-YoRK DAILY TRIBUNE SUNDAY JANUARY 49, 1907

Among French women OF fashion 1t is the
1ad OF the moment that everything pertaining
10 children shall be conducted the English
principle. Babies have uniformed trained Eng
Hsh nurses and older children in the hands
OF a miss as the nursery governess IS called.
French mothers talk of their nursery" as glibly
as II until now a room set apart for children
were not as unknown as any substitute for the
word nursery in the French language Eng
iish Ideas of discipline for children are undoubt-
edly sound but sometimes wonders whether
the French tots are quite as happy with the
English governess, with her to them strange
ways and stranger tongue, as with the old fash
ioned nounou. as ready to pet to scold. and
with never theory in her big. ignorant head
with other English ideas has come change
IN the dressing of children. Most small BOYS,
wear the English sailor suit. with the proper
nat and REFER coat. Scotch suits are in great
1aVor both for girls and boys and even best
gowns are treated to fewer frs and ribbons
than OF yore. The day may come when the
schooi child shall be exempt from the alien
Veioping black apron, but school mistresses are
conservative lot, and nothing else seems to
CONFORM to the scholastic atmosphere.

REFER coat is worn suit by little girls
This may be completed by Jersey top. or there
may be bodice to correspond to the pleated
| skirt. smart frOck of red cashmere is made
with pleated skirt trimmed with three rows of
| plaid braid. This is attached to the lining,
| which is concealed by a closed boIero trimmed
SayIy with braid and cut decOllete show a
| YOKE or red embroidered white guipure. The
jacket is trimmed with embroidered cashmere
! covered buttons and Is short enough to show a
sash or red liberty silk. The yoke naturally is a
part OF the body OF the froCk, and the bolero
| makes the second piece.
A party dress which comes from a smart place
| Is so simple that ii could be copied by home
dressmaker by using an embroidered flounce

part is Of the flounce. with tiny rufled edge
