A prettily embroidered cotton petticoat, having its embroidery or chief color matching its costume with which it is worn, is in far better taste than the cheap silk skirt, and is much daintier, as it can be tubbed after every wearing or two, and be as fresh and attractive as ever. Some of these come In stripes, some in plaids. For example, a charming Scotch gingham is in blue and white, and the dower ruffle, set on an umbrella flounce of the plaid, is embroidered in white.

Suitable and Pretty Costume for the MAKE8 A USEFUL COMBINATION. Long-Sleev- Dresses for the younger members of the family are always rather a problem, for although their wearers are quite as much alive to any fault in taste as are their parents, yet these garments have to bear the strain of tremendous wear and tear. The new ball dress of the grown-u. sister has nothing to face but a It would soon cease to be made of tulle and chiffon if it had to undergo. the excitements of cat and mouse or blind man's buff. In the same way the house dress that Is Princess e with Very Young Lady. 8hort-8leev- e Gown Coat. Used The princess gown with coat to match it is one the of the useful combinations of the season.

A very useful style for. these difficult ages is the pinafore, now varied by the kimono. It consists of a loose blouse with a low, square-cu- t yoke and loose sleeves. The square top, the skirt and the sleeves are all edged with a pretty band of silk or velvet in a darker shade of the material matching the waist band, and it is worn over a blouse of white or some lighter color. This gives an appearance of brightness and smartness, and allows the dress to be of a dark and durable color and material. It also has the advantage that old blouses which have worn under the arms can be worn with it. The prettiest mode for the skirt is to have it arranged in flat pleats, stitched for a few inches below the waist The fullness on the top of the arms can be drawn into tucks arranged in Just the same way. The silk is also used for the scarf, which fastens at the side with a single end finished with a tassel. Around the neck this scarf is folded smoothly and turns a square corner Just over the shoulder, going straight across the back of the shoulders.
