Dressing the Boy of Eight to Ten
By MARY MARSHALL.

The difficulties peculiar TO boys of
this age are that they really are not
tall enough or old enough to wear
long trousers and in this country feel
themselves too old for little-boy short
trousers For everyday use they
wear knickers generally with feel
ing Of satisfaction that really htg boys
and grown men also wear such things
But for party occa sions knickers are
much too informal-and so straight
short trousers Of the sort that French
and English boys wear as matter OF
course are chosen as correct.
1t may be that ar the dancing
school your S-year-old Bobby at
tends there are definite rules or sug-
gestio>s' concerning the dress Of the
children, or il may be that you have
solved the problem by dressing Bobby
as most of the other boys dress.
But the suit that is considered most
correct for dancing class for boys old
enough 10 wear Woolen suits and too
Young for long trousers consists of a
suit like the one shown in the sketch
Of dark blue serge or flannel Worn
with an Eton or Bustcr Brown collar
and a Windsor tie. Strapped pumps
or oHfords Of black patent leather and
black silk or cotton socks finish the
ensemble. And this is also the cor
rect outfit for party wear generally.
It Is perfectly true that porters give
better service to persons who have
good-looking luggage. Perhaps you
cannot afford a new suit case. but you
can at least make a neat canvas cover
