Emery for the Infant.

lE VEN the babies are to have three piece suits for the spring and sum-
 mer outfit. Of course. as 1t is for
 an infant this fashionable costume is
 not actually in three pieces, but coneists
 of frock with short coat to match,
 thus filling the place of the woman's cos
 tune with jumper suit and jacket, or with
 waist, skirt and jacket.
 A touch of the seasons fashions also to
 be noted in the babies attire is the use of
 fine soutache braid in white to trim little frocks and coats instead of embroidery. For baby in short frocks 6 most fas- cinating French costume shown among the recent importations Is trimmed with this braid. The little frock was made with tiny skirt of alternating bands of batiste trimmed with the braid and Va lenciennes insertion. The tiny baby waist had vertical lines of the insertion and was also braided. The frock was finished with quaint little turnover collar, quite nar- row and shaped in fine points, and this collar was also trimmed with the braid.
 On either side of the little bodice wers pink rosettes, formed of five points of satin ribbon, with satin covered mould in the centre, so that they looked like five, petalled flowers. There were two mora rosettes at the belt, and ends of the rib- bon, which was quite narrow, hung to the bottom of the tiny skirt. There were also flat flower rosettes on the sleeves.
 The little jacket which matched this frock was made of the same material-fins batiste-and lined with pale pink silk. There was a ruffie of silk, with pinked edges all around the jacket and rufae of batiste edged with Valenciennes over this The jacket was embroidered with the sou. taehe braid, exactly as was the frock, and the whole outfit was as dainty an array of baby finery as one would care to see.
 The infants bonnets are also most at. tractive this spring. For the small tod. dler of three or thereabouts there are most extravagantly beautiful bonnets of fine green Tuscan braid, with fine gold cord interwoyen. This sounds almost too elab- crate for child. but there is very little gold, and the braid of which the bonnet is made is as light and airy as chiffon. The crown of this bonnet was quite full and of an irregular shape, not at all stif or heavy in outline. The only brim was . double rufie of pleated chiffon, and caurht in at the sides right over the ears were pink chrysanthemums.
 There was also a most fascinating bsby's bonnet. resembling turban, quite high and round in the crown, this being formed of alternate rows of yalendennes lace and silk. There was no brim 10 this bonnet, except a thick double ruche of fine lace. To one side of the front wss placed a white ostrich plume, which stood up straight across the crown. There were wide strings of nOusscline de soie to this bonnet.
 Baby's bOotz are slso most charming this season. There are attractive pink boots of gros grain silk, quite high and fastening across the front with two bands. Around the top there is . ruche of yaIen. eiennes lace.
 A very attractive little wrap for ths baby to wear as a protection from dranghts in the house is made of whifs crepe ds Chine. with tiny ruches of yal.n. eSennes lace for trimming.
