children are the most a'tructively
dressed of those of all nations, Nearly

{ dresses and mantles abound, Coals
with belts and fancy clasps are also
made which have a eape or small man-

an acrafle in passementerie or fur, A
capital coat for a school girl is made of
dark blne serge, long enough to cover
the dress, with a ucep cape reaching ‘0
the wast and a little pointed hood.
Priestley’s cravennette, a thoroughly
water proof cloth, is very suitable for
these coats, Tie coat and hood may
be lined with some bright colored silk
to form a pretty contrast. The coat is
double-breasted and loose in front, but
fitted in the back. Long coats are the
principal outdoor garments for chil-
dren.
Many of the frocks
“tots” are made with long bodices to
which the skirts are sewn. A pretty
model is of heliotrope cloth with collar
and eufls of velvet, Bands of velvet
headed by cloth pipings ornament the
skirt, while the back of the bodice is
trimmed in a point, Guimps of em-
broideny are worn with woolen frocra,
