devouring; a piece of messy pie. or
somethlns: In what would appear to be
her very best "bib and tucker" (accord
ing to the "Mother Goose" pictures),
there have been many variations In the
fashions of the diminutive wardrobe,
and the frequent changes of mode In
little frocks, coats, hoods and hats for
the tiny tots have assumed an Import
ance not much overshadowed by that
nf smartly-gowned mamma or fashion
ably "frou-froued" big sister.
To he sure, all the dainty frills of lit
tle Miss Muffet are with us still, and
continue to be the pride and joy of lit
tle feminine hearts on occasions of Ju
venile parties and other "dress-up"
times, but even in these frill there are
changing modes, and the modern addi
tions and accessories to the wardrobe of
the up-to-date little girl are such as
were never dreamed of by the fond eld
ers of the tiny maid who fled from the
rpider.
The importance children's fashions
have assumed is shown by the space
and attention given diminutive articles
cf wearing apparel by the merchants,
who now carry extensive stocks, care
fully kept up. in departments especially
set apart for the purpose and these
children's departments are among; the
most liberally patronized in every
store.
A few of the latest touches noticeable
In the costumes of smartly-attired little
tots are shown In the accompanying
pictures, sketched for The Oregonlan In
the children's department of one of the
local shops.
Three fanciful styles of the trimmed
hood are shown in No. 1. No. 2 and No.
S. Roses and rosettes. In daintily tinted
Bilk, are features of the new hoods, and
even the plainest little bonnet of bear
cloth or velvet now has Its modish bit
of trimming;, usually at the left side, or
sometimes on both sides. No. 1 shows
a hood of velvet and silk, through
which a velvet ribbon Is run, the open
ings being bound in buttonhole stitch
and the ribbon drawing the fullness of
the headpiece up sufficiently to form a
saucy ruffle that, frames the face. A
silken rose nestles at the left side, and
a big bow of ribbon under the chin
secures the hood snugly.
A nifty little bonnet of fur is shown
In No. 2. Russian squirrel with tiny
animal heads being employed in the
making. The animal heads peep out
from a big silken rosette placed in the
center of the front. The "grown-up"
mode of fur toques finds redection in
this smart little fur bonnet.
One' of the new 'Teddy Bear" hoods
is shown in No. 3. the hood being of
soft, warm bearcloth. decorated with
two silken rosea, placed over the ears.
A pretty and practical little frock de
sign is shown in No. 4, and this sketch
also suggests the fanciful use of rib
bon and rosettes In decking the tresses
of little maldo.
An up-to-date little rainy-day maid is
chown in No. S. Capeleta and coats of
rubberised silk, in black and different
colors, are now to be had in the shops,
for the tiniest of little tots, and with
these go little rain hats In various de

A PIANO
FOR. XMAS
While we have such high-grade pianos as Stein
way, A. B. Chase and Everett, still we can sell you
others not quite so expensive that will last you many
years and will be a continuous joy in your home.
There are many, no doubt, who are thinking of buy
ing a piano, but feel as if $500 or more is beyond their
means.. However, this idea of not buying because
you can't buy the highest priced is wrong, for you
can't afford to neglect the education of your children,
waiting until they are almost grown before you give
them a piano. BUY NOW. If you can't afford the
"highest grade," buy something less expensive, and
in later years, should you feel disposed, exchange it
for a better one; We can sell you such well-known
makes as A. B. Chase, Everett, Packard, Ludwig,
Kurtzmann, Estey Kingsbury, Emerson, Wellington
and others. All of these instruments have been before
the public many years, and are recognized as depend
able. Should some parents think they could only
afford a piano for $250 and feel as if they could not
get a piano for that price that would wear any length
of time, they have the wrong idea.. Visit our ware
rooms. We feel sure we can show you a piano that
will please you.
