roses outlining the waist-line. Of course this frock is very brief-as all frocks for wee girls are-falling two inches short of dimpled bare knees. White silk socks and little patent leather strap slippers complete the costume. Black Velvet with Yellow Pantalets.
 The most excruciatingly fashionable party frock of the winter-for five years old-is a fiaring slip of black velvet, cut in deep scallops at the edge and faced with yellow satin. Underneath are very full, very visible panties of yellow satin, shirred in above the knee with tiny frills. The black velvet frock has short kimono sleeves and a row of tiny yellow flow CTS. no larger than buttons, runs from the square neck out to the edge of each sleeve.

white chiffon, deeply hemmed in the skirt and trimmed at neck-line and sleeve-edge with fine Val lace. Ro- settes of the lace, gathered round and round, are set on the skirt above the deep hem. The draped chiffon girdle is fastened under cluster of white gardenias and the little maid wears a white ribbon in her curls. Socks and dancing slippers white, of course.
 Warm Velvet Frocks Have A Christi
 massy Look
 For Christmas Day when all the grown-folks of the family with all the little-folks in tow come to grandma s for a dinner party, velvet dresses are the thing for small girls. Such dresses have a warm, rich Christmassy sug- gestion and are more suitable for the occasion than airy party frocks with big sashes. A smart little velvet frock for girl of six is pictured; simple, straight frock with good lines-but gay enough in color for Christmas, for 1t is made of soft red velvet White satin pipings and fancy but tons add a relieving touch and the bishop sleeves. dropped from a low shoulder-line are particularly smart So are the cunning pockets slashed into each side of the skirt.

wear a neat suit of striped linen, like the one pictured; or natty sailor suit of dark blue fiannel--very fine, soft French flannel of course. For parties are reserved dress-up suits of velvet and the like. Two good look ing suits of the sort mentioned are pictured. The sailor suit is correct in every detail and has smart lines with very short straight brooches and very loose blouse. And the braid trimming, embroidered sleeve chev- ron and generously long cord lanyard are all as they should be. The linen suit is immediately neat and pleas ingly boyish. It is of tan and white striped linen, with plain tan at collar and cuffs and a beautifully knotted black silk tie. The little brooches, creased smartly. and the belted, pleat- ed tunic are in excellent style. Of course, with his indoor costume the small boy wears socks. Houses and apartments are so well heated nova days that few children wear long stockings except for the street, and then very little folks don leggings over their socks. At fashionable private schools and kindergartens there is usually a maid to take off leggings and outdoor wraps-and to put them on again. At Jess select schools teachers help; or whoever comes to fetch the youngsters attends to the matter of outdoor wraps.
 Topcoats for the Bigger Boys
 The well-dressed lads in belted overcoat and play-reefer have their wooden stockings rolled down below the knee, boy scout fashion. you see. It takes a determined parent, these days, to make a small boy wear his stockings any other way-no matter what the weather is. Stockings are rolled down--all the other fellows are doing it-and what more is there to say? Both of these sturdy chaps are very we'll dressed; the taller lad in play clothes. or knockabout togs- sheepskin lined reefer with fur collar knickerbockers just over the knee and knitted worsted cap. You can see by his neat linen collar and neck tie that a proper coat accompanies the neat, creased down the front knickers.- The younger boy has a splendid overcoat of chinchilla cloth and a round cap that can be pulled down over the ears-the sort of cap that small boyhood dotes on. He too, has neat suit combining a belted jacket and rather more baggy knick-

M USBANDS and fathers who have HA to foot the bills groan dismally N NJ over the kaleidoscope changes U y of fashion. Styles used to "stay put"-for a time at least. Father re- members those happy days when there were only two millinery seasons a year and mother bought a spring hat and a winter hat. In September she had a red wing put on her sum mer straw and it became her fall hat. Now there are six millinery seasons a year and styles in dance frocks change every few weeks. Something new is always rushing over from Parisi
 But nobody seems to object to the kaleidoscope changes of fashion in Christmas gifts. If the enterprising shopkeepers did not constantly offer new and intriguing things, how in the world would one be able to think of anything to give people who already seem to have everything? Last years hair brushes will not suit this years style in bedroom furnishings. Even table silver soon becomes passe. New fashions all the time and one has to keep up! One thing remains the same, year after year Christmas after Christmas: the Christmas tree. New sort of decorations adorn 1t; new sort of lighting effects make it smartly modern-and more brilliant than any old-fashioned Christmas tree ever dreamed of being. But the tree itself remains the same, gracious and grace full and piney in fragrance. the i'm perishable symbol of Christmas hap piness to every childish heart.
 The Christmas tree in the picture is lighted with tiny electric bulbs; red and green and blue and orange bulbs strung on wires which are wound in and out of the tree branches. All these little electric lights are not sup posed to eat up more electricity than one good-sized bulb in the chandelier, but it Is wiser to turn off the electric ity--or most of it-in the room before lighting up your tree. Otherwise you may have a short circuit and con- siderable trouble. For the rest, the

bowl to repose upon!
 The handsomest gift you can give Fido is travelling basket. This may be of shiny black leather, or of wicker with tan leather straps and brass lock and clamps. These travelling baskets for dogs are veritable works of art. They are strong. yet light, and the wire netting window at one end has a neat leather shade that may be pulled down when a conductors or porter's watchful eye (for dogs surreptitiously sneaked aboard) is to be evaded. In side the travelling basket is lined with white oilcloth. And of course. the basket has secure lock and key.

tree is strung with glittering strings of tinsel and hung with shiny, colored. fragile ornaments and with the usual cornucopias filled with sweeties. These ornaments may be kept from year to year and few new ones in the newer styles added each Christ mas season; for as baby grows to big boy or girl, the Christmas tree grows too-in most families. But beneath the ancient and honorable tree which Is the symbol of the ages, are grouped each year toys that ex- press the newest and most modern ideas in playthings for childhood. Where once stood the train of fiimsy tin cars, the little wooden horse and cart, the blank faced doll, now stand marvellous modern toys-electric rail- road systems, automobiles that go by their own power,' animals that are lovably life-like and dolls that have real hair and almost real voices.

And, after all, a furry, cunning monkey with an appealing, lovable ey- pression in his weird little face, is just as delightful playmate as any Teddy Bear. Why not, pray tell? The monkey toy is really sort of huff glove which may be slipped over the hand of father, nurse or any other nice grown-up who wants to amase the little folk. Thumb and little finger are thrust into the monkeys paws-or should one say hands ?-and first and second fingers into his head.

 A leather harness trimmed with brass nailheads will be appreciated if he is little fellow. A handsome leather leash will be a smart addition to his outdoor equipment, whatever his size.
 Then there are indoor comforts; one of those hooded wicker sleeping baskets that little dog does love to curl up in--the, curved sides of the basket fit every part of his anatomy as no out-in-the-open cushion on the floor can.
