Piuuo for Children,

This year is to be a pique year par
excellence for the small ones.
AS a matter of fact, the quantity of
little pique coats seems almost incred-
ible. Anything prettier than these
little garments it would be hard to
find. The freshness and crispness Of
the piuue has no rival even in linen,
and many of the coats and frocks are
adorned with kind of pierced work,
so as to produce exactly the same
effect as broderie Anglaise. In other
cases they are simply made with turn
over collars worked in white fax
thread in sprays of daisies, periwin-
kles, or rosebuds, while big white
pearl buttons represent the almost in
evitable finish.
