Such a suit is always appropriate for a party" occasion if it is crisply new, we'll cut and faultlessly pressed. Good suits of this sort, for little boys show the careful silk sewing of seams and details, that ready-made garments for little girls sometimes lack. Mans garb has often the excellence of silk scanning and finish where woman's garb lacks this mark of exclusiveness and distinction.

worth while dinner. Most delightful little dinners may be arranged and carried out perfectly in a modest home and the cost need not be prohibitive if extravagant service of wines is omitted.
 One welY trained maid in sympathy with mistress who is systematic should be able to manage dinner of six very nicely. And a maid thor oughly in sympathy with little din- her" giving is she who is adequately recompensed for the extra trouble fn- volved, and plentifully assisted-be- forehand-by her mistress. She must also be perfectly free from nervous ness and quite sure of her ability to handle the service end of the dinner "a maid who has always an anxious eye on the ready-for- criticism eye of a mistress is sure to do something awkward and awful during the course of even the littlest home dinner when there is only one guest present Per feet service at table should be exacted every day of the three hundred and sixty-f1ve; the neat dress, the quiet step, the noiseless handling of dishes and silver, the careful passing plates at the left and rem owing them at the right" and SO on. Then when the guest, or guests, are present at the board everything will go smoothly and neither mistress or maid will suf- fer agonies of nervousness.
 For dinner of eight places, an ex- tra maid should be provided. A we'll trained general houseworker can take care of six, if she is calm of head and quick of hand; but eight will be rath- CT too many for her. For about two dollars a competent waitress may be engaged for an evening from a cater CT, and most housekeepers who en- tertain at all have on their memoran- dunn pad the name of some outside helper who will come in for an even- ing for less price and "help with the waiting" One woman who en- tertains delightfully."- gives two little dinners" each month and invites eight people to each, thus returning most of her social ohli9atinna aG they are

 Obviously, the woman who keeps but one maid. must do good deal herself in preparation for even Tit tie dinner" parties; and the menu must be arranged with great discrim- ination so, that as much as possible maybe ready long before the dinner hour draws near. This is quite pos sible with soup, salad and dessert. The soup needs only heating and salad and dessert should be all ready to serve in the icebox or in cold pantry. It is mistake to have too many

 Gala Attire For The Wee Boy.
 White buttoned boots and stockings are worn by the little lad who is evil dently all ready for a holiday week festivity. Very smart and conven- tional indeed is he from top to toe. His hat, rakishly turned up at one side to show a "bobbed" haircut, is of dark green velour with a grosgrain ribbon band. His pleasingly mannish overcoat Is of pepper and salt wool mixture with black velvet collar and trimmings. His gloves are of white washable doeskin and his boots of white washable kid-the mothers joy since it may be cleaned so simply and easily without recourse to messy pastes. With the white boots go ribbed white silk stockings. Another picture shows the natty little suit worn beneath the equally natty overcoat. It

Fur Buttons On Sheer Frocks

n NE of the notable devices in fur
 trimming this winter is the use " of big fur buttons and wide fur bands on frocks of thinnest material; and the rather heavy effect of the fur in combination with the flminess of the fabric is undeniably chic. A frock of this type is of maize Georgette and sealskin, and as to the cut of the frock nothing could be impler-ex- cept a nightgown drawn in at the waist under a belt. The frock. indeed, suggests the lines of a nightgown for it's fullness-and quite good deal of fullness is possible with a fabric as soft as Georgette-is gathered to very narrow, V-shaped yoke, which outlines round neck. At the foot is six-inch band of seal, which weights down the soft Georgette yet nipples with it's fullness very grace fully. A four-irch band of seal holds in the fuilness at the waistline. The long sleeves have two big seal but

tons between elbow and wrist on the outer side. and where the frock fas- tens, from shoulder to waistline, near the left arm. there are three more seal buttons. Aside from the stitch ing of tho maize silk lining-a soft, dainty lining of soiree silk in, a paler maize shade-this frock Is entirely made by hand and the fur is sewed on by hand; maize colored sewing silk of course. being used to run the seams and herns and also co slipstitch the fur, so that the frock is as dainty on the wrong side as the right side. Of course, also. the machine sewed silk foundation slip is stitched throughout with maize silk-any substitute for silk would be intolerab1e in costume so distinctive and exclusive. It is in these little niceties Of finish that a costume shows the hallmark of high excellence-and the promise of better service and longer good looks that a well made frock always possesses.

sum-at the neck. Velveteen coats in wine color, green or dark brown are sufficiently smart when well cut and provided with fur collars. A coat of this sort, of wine velveteen, is shirred and corded at the waistline and has long pocket slits on the skirt with closely set fancy buttons, the same buttons fastening the front. of the waist portion. The cuffs are bor- dered with opossum and there is a stole collar of the velveteen which wraps around the throat. one end fall ing over the shoulder toward the back. Each end of the stole collar is tipped with big fur ball. To match this coat there is Q cunning shirred bon net-hat of wine velveteen with a band of fur and a silver cockade Inside

 Wedge shaped pieces of iced melon,
 or a puAch made of oranges, grape fruit and bananas, will be refreshing as a first course. Bread or crackers need not be passed with the soup, for a crusty roll with butter on each in- dividual butter plate will relieve the one maid of that part of the service. Crackers toasted with sprinkling of cheese may be passed with the salad course. There are various dainty entrees which can easily be prepared in the morning and tucked into the oven just before dinner. Among these are: Chicken, sweetbreads or oysters scalloped in ramekin: creamed aspar- agus tips or creamed chicken in pastry patty shells; creamed fish or macaroni and cheese baked in small individual dishes, and so on. The roast, and its attendant vegetables-three should be quite sufficient and two will answer will be all the maid has to bother seriously about in the hour preceding dinner, and the hostess should be dressed and covered with big apron, to relieve her helper just before tie guests are expected; so that the cook may make herself into dainty wait ress with smooth hair, dark frock, ca } and apron. These things can be man aged without anybody becoming fius tered or nervous If everything has been arranged systematically before hand-and if the maid is accustomed to waiting on table properly seven days of the week. gr
