CHILDREN'S CLOTHES.

Very delightful are some of the recent changes that havo been made in the fashion of children's clothes. According to a Sydney writer the Magyar tunic, rather narrow and unbelted, made in linen, blue drill, or cotton crepe, showing a little cross stitch embroidery, is deserving of its great popularity. It is an ideal frock for quite small children, and when worn with a loose belt for older ones too. Tho belted box pleated frock, which for so long has been almost a uniform, has given place to a highwaisted, small pleated frock, the wide, straight front panel being set perfectly plain from, neck to hem. Plain muslin collars with little square tabs are used as a finish to these little frocks, while little muslin cuffs aro also in requisition. Tho party frock of to-day is usually accordion pleated and high-waistcd, a little fichu with frilled edges ending at the waist, back and front. The arranging of the hair in two plaits is much in favour, while tho idea of rolling up the plaits above the ears suits certain children admirably. Fortunately little girls are no longer subjected to the discomfort of having quantities of hot hair hanging loose about their neck and shoulders, and especially during school hours carefully plaited hair is almost universally in evidence.
