At a juvenile party recently given in Brooklyn by a lady aged eleven years the extravagance in dress, it is aaid, could not have been 'xceeded even by adult ingenuity. The hair was dressed in the latest style—frizzed, puffed, nowdered, and adorned with flowers. Fourbuttoned white kill gloves were generally worn, while French kid boots, matching the dresses ■ n color, encased the feet. A little girl of seven /ears was dressed in a rose-colored silk, trimmed with point applique flouncors, and covered with gold and gems, which brought the cost of the nitfi up to about 7,000d01. The young, gentlemen, of nine to fourteen, were usually irrayed in black dress coats, light pants, and in lavender neck-ties, with the most dazzling profusion and variety of rings, seals, and watch ;hains. The hair of the older youths was parted ■n the middle and worn in long floating locks. Music, dancing, and flotation occupied the ■wening until the supper hour, at twelve o’clock, after which the gay assemblage dispersed . The coquette of twelve and the effeminate dandy of fourteen are apt to suggest painful visions of a coming race of men and women without strength of mind or muscle, and with •very spark of youthful vitality and freshness prematurely driven out by the training to which they have been subjected.
