What is Going On in Woman's World of Fashion
N
EW TORK, Oct. .-The question
of the winter warfrol fur the
girl-child in not the simple- mat
ter it once was. A fur set, ft
warm dress, stout boots and
woolen mitten 11 are not all that 1 required,
for thin in an age when the various ap
pointments of dress are carefully consid
ered, and whatever her yearn the young
lady snunt be an well net up a her ciders.
The matching of the hat to the costume
that It la to accompany may take a morn
ing's lutior. Petticoats, glove and boots
must go with their own particular toilette,
and whether In the nurnery or out of It
the well brought up little maiden dressca
for dinner.
However, It la a long lane that haa no
turning, and the difficulties or the lane
of fashion are made up by the fact that
prices are cheaper than formerly. Then,
too, the simple! of the ready-made stylea
aro generally In good tante, and since hand
sewing la the thing mothers clever In thla
wny find plenty of use for the gift In
smarter garments.
The girl or boy who hna reached the
age for school Is undoubtedly the easiest
to dress, for everywhere the shops cater
most thoroughly to the needs of these im
pnrtaat young persons. Trig school coats
for maids from 4 to 12 are made of mottled
tweeds, with plain or fancy braid trim
mings. With theae and other neat coats
of plain cloth go pretty frocks in checked
and plain wools, and felt sailor hats sim
ply trimmed with ribbon or velvet. If the
lint velvet is very narrow it may be quilled
up oae side In a huge rosette, through
which the quill Is thrust. Ixmped eods per
Imps fall at the back and the headpiece so
eomposed'roats, ready-made, aay, $3.
For her best finery, which may Include
plaid and flowered silk gowns and silk or
Velvet coats resplendent with collars of real
luce bordered narrowly with fine furs, big
ostrich feathers will embellish missy's
headpiece.
Bo much are ostrich feathers admired
for children that even the puffed silk bon
net of the baby In arms sometimes shows
one aa wide as it Is long. Ostrich deckings
for older headgear run to the plume va
rieties, though the swaying fringes which
appoar upon the feathers of the adult world
are happily , absent. Ribbons are also
largely used upon Juvenile millinery, but
the long rear ends these once shaped are
superseded to a marked degree by the
shallow loops of velvet mentioned. One
or perhaps, three big rosettes will appear
at the left front of a high. stlfT crown,
while squash crowns may. he lifted an inch
or more by a ribbon "pie." A hat "pie"
Is on English invention, and it Is no more
and no less than a crown of some descrip
tion. Tulle and lace hats for the grown
ups show this mat, which Is really for the
punxwe of adding to the height of ostrich
feather fringe. The ribbon pie of the small
girl is a mass of puffs and loops, closely re
semoling In fact, the mud article of her
Infancy.
Some of the little toilettes In pale colors
designed for dreasy house wear are daintily
charming. Among these are the first com
munion frock, the party dress, and the
dress which is neither too smart nor too
fine for any Indoor occasion. These last
are most frequently expressed in soft wool,
the model Invariably showing a gimp
bodice for all girls under 10. Narrow white
rlhtxms with a floral pattern in color and
a black edge embellish many of these cos
tumes, whose delicate blues, pinks, greens
and yellows may again be' matched by
. ribbons and needlework In the same tints.
The best of the party toilettes are exquis
itely falryllke. showing the airy qualities
and ribbon and flower deckings of the sea

creation alone, It Is plain that the ready
made suit Is to supply the outer raiment'
of the new man-child.

SAMUEL BURNS, 1318 FARNAtf
these are almost skirt length for the small
est lads, and. If the materials of the suit
admits, the shoulders of. the blouse like
wise show the late evolution from dresses
In smart embroidery or lace collars. Some
times a get-up for the laddie late from
this tender thraldom Is too cruelly mas
culine, but the best tastes agree that the
stage between the baby and the "small
boy" must be prettily tided over.
A neat and suitable costume for a boy
from 4 to t Is crowned by a patent leather
sailor with deep upcurvlng brim. Such
hats are often called Chinese sailors and
they are frequently accompanied by loose
covert coats, which give the little chappie
a very mannish air. Another, variety of
the baby beau wears shoea of black patent
leather with white cloth or leather uppers.
These give his small feet much of the
quaint air of grandfathers in the family
daguerreotype, while the fob watch chains
worn by bigger boys reveal another fad
of the old gentleman's in the days of his
youthful vanity.
All fashions for youths shows a florid
tendency and among numerous revivals
are pique vestlngs which more than sug
gest the rosebud waistcoats of the long
ago. Bhirtings for such ages are likewise
a shade loud and with a striped shirt In
one color it seems quite the fad to wear
cuffs la a different pattern and tint.
All of the beet boys' clothing has the
correct English air In style. Into both the
English and Scotch suitings are also in
troduced the hoary plaids and checks for
which the English are famed, and more
than one brilliant red waistcoat suggests
the flunkey of high life.
It would seem that American mothers
are oceursglng tke babtt of firearms. At
several of the big shops boys' hunting
suits may be seen, while the firms given up
to the sporting trade show numerous stylea
for youths In hunting and fishing boots)
and sporting caps of several sorts. These,
the curious are told, are made necessary
by the winter exodus of fashion from the
big cities. Then all who are in society and
all who aspire to the privilege, take their
way to southern climes, where dress Is a
detail, as far as the masculine element
Is concerned, and hunting and fishing the
thins.
Whatever be the whim of dress. It in
certain they all follow the trend of the
moment. So, since the Increasing softness
of our girls Is seen In the return to frllte
and furbelows, the toughening of the mas
culine element may be recognised In the
growing fondness for rough clothes.
