omes high , but It Is worth Its price.
An afternoon toilet for a little lady from

A Charming I'lurnl lYiit : In Honor of n

"One may b ? a brldo as olten as 'man

a lifetime ! " was the astute remark of ono
of these favored mortals who was making
her courtesy to society. "Her first snson"
Is an epoch marked In a girl's calendar by
pleasures In rapid succession , enjoyed with
unfaded appetite , and In full confidence that
llfo Is to b ? a perpetual holiday.
Special features are sought for by the ,
parents and friends ( degraded for the nonce
to the rank of mere satellites ) to grace ths
entertalnmunts given In honor of these
stara newly risen upon the social horizon.
A unique lunch was the result of ono
effort In that direction. Invitations were
Issued for the flrU of May , which brought
Its own suggestions , and none of the lovely

ravishing costume.
Along with stuffs long recognized as Juve-
illc materials , dotted muslin lu pale pinks
and blues Is now seen.
White dotted muslin washes admirably , but

his textile are so elaborately and curiously
rimmed that it looks as If they were never
ucant to make acquaintance with the hun
tress.
for example , a dress-up frock for a maid
of C Is of pale blue dotted muslin , with
rlmmlngs of black satin ribbon and black
'ootlng. ' The ribbon takes the form of
rosettes on the bodice , which Is the usual
ow-necked baby model ; the footing edges
he wide flounce around the neck and at
ho bottom of the short puffed sleeves.
Dresses of this sort are always worn with
gamps and long uudersleeves , which may bo

folks as well as big ones. Combined with

scattered loops glvo them the air of black
chrysanthemums.
Linen canvas In solid tones , sage-brown ,
ardlnal and art green Is another and newer
trimming for little girls' gingham frocks.
It Is inado Into rovers and deep collars
of all shapes , and Is very decorative when
edged with white embroidery or yellow en-
tro-deux. Usually It follows In tone some
note In the gown Itself , but the dim art
? reen Is like black , a shade that combines
larmonlously with almost anything and Is
especially beautiful with pale brown. Linen
canvas Is not used for children under 7.

times pudding bag vests and underslccves
of white mull or tucked nainsook.
FOIl BOYS AS WELL AS GIRLS !
Pique , white and tinted. Is a good summer
morning material for little maids from 3 to
and Is now being made up Into plain
skirts and double-breasted reefer coats , with
turn back , cuffs and broad sailor collars.
Hamburg embroidery edges collars and cults ,
and the skirt Is buttoned onto a loose com
fortable underbody of unstarched mull. A
ilcslgu of this comfortable little model is
shown hero and is of pale pink with white
trimming.
With the substitution of a kilted skirt for
the plain , it Is used for small urchins as
well as girls ; though the boys' suits arc gen
erally whlto.
Another good and simple model for baby
boys Is a kilted skirt and sailor blouse ,
which , for the hottest months , will bo
inado of brown linen and white and "sun

all their cool summer toggery , they are to

washing , and with the middy jackets ,

which with Its little bobtail ribbon ends. Is
nautical to a degree , has "U. S. N. " embroid

The strongest defense a woman has , be
he distinctly pretty or fascinatingly plain ,
s her veil. Ever since the world bgan
he has been wearing seme sort of a tissue
ace covering , thick or thin , largo or small ;
n this day and generation refined down
o a mere gauze faca mask , yet likely to
remain the dearest and most Important
lossesslon In her wardrobe till the mllcn-
nlum arrives.
It Is a barrier between herself and pry-
ng eyts through which very little can be
read by an uninitiated gaze , but nothing
can escape her keen glance.
Of course , veils are not hygienic , any
voman will admit that , but they are ntc-
essary and if you want to know how youth-
ul a woman believes she looks notice what
ort of a net she uses.
In the language of veils only fresh-faced
girls can afford to wear the plain filmy un-
lotted tulle that for comfort Is the one1 to
be preferred , yet on any but a tender , peachy
young face It seems to curiously fetch
hadows that look terribly like wrinkles ,
: onsequently when a woman ss 3 In her

ortlng to a very clpsely speckled affair on

onied color or th ° ? plaintive blue shad
ows under her eyes. To and from ths den-
Ist's she Is likely to "adopt a veil with a deep

Besides these is the sunburn and freckle

a blue-eyed , retrousse nosed little person ,
who Is trembling on the verge of Indul

That veil clinches the bargain and a swallow
irown-eyed girl buys a wide black straw be
cause the artful saleswoman flung over the
'ront ' a breadth of the new , very smart gray

Iner runs that almost more on the veil

of one's headgear. i
It Is a little New York maker of Irresistible
sonnets that has taught Fifth avenue women
the true coquetries of the veil. That the
charm of it lies In Its exces-ding freshness ;
no veil should be 'worn more than six or eight
times ; that It should be adjusted with most
exquisite neatness and care , tucked In a bit
of a knot Just under the bonnet's back , with
out any pinning , and drawn smooth and cbsa
over the features and when not In use rolled
and pinned In a satin envelope case , per
fumed ever so faintly with orris. She has
not failed In finding apt puplla.
One pretty woman has set the fashion , be
cause her eyes are flne and the rest of her
face unimportant , of wearing a white gauze
mask , drawn up to the lower lids of her
liquid orbs that look out on the world with
all the coquettish complacency of a Turkish
belle. It was she who has excited a curious
little local vogue In favor of wearing veils
at night , for , when asked to dine at a house
where the cruel white light cf electricity is
used she made her appearance with one thick
ness of black chiffon falling Juat over those
same tplendld e.yt-3 which she plaintively
protested could not stand the glare.

Who are these people , I'm eager to know ,
Standing BO solemnly nil In n row' . '
Their garments are all of different hue ,
And each one seems to b ? pstfectly new.
First Is nn old lady In cap of whlto ,
With rullles voluminous all bedlght ,
And spectacles over her bright black eyes
That give her a look of complete surprise.
The next Is a baby In rose and snow ,
But never a smile will the rogue bestow.
A tear In his eye Is ready to fall ,
And he won't give an answer to me nt all.
The belle of the season , In green and gold ,
Nod3 to the lady with Tola upon fold
Of amethyst velvet caught here and there
Across her bosom so maidenly fair.
Then there Is a soldier In brown nnd green ;
The laddie In blue is a young marine.
Uelatlves surely the following three ,
I very much wonder who they can be.
*
A score or mora summers I've seen them
here.
The whole of the season , year after year.
With never a faded or shabby gown ,
But always In purple and green and brown.
Then , who are these people , I want to
know ,
Standing so solemnly nil In a row ?
In garments all seeming so nice and new ,
And each of a different beautiful liue.
