Children's Imported Dresses.

The princesse dress made up to repre-
sent separate waist and skirt with hip
drapery is the design most popular
here. and most often seen among the
importations for girls from four to
twelve years of age; for misses in their
teens different models are required,
and for little girls of two to four years
there are various simple and full dress
es that have guimpes or yokes, or else
are in loose sacque shape. For the
princesse dresses of large girls all the
rich materials used for ladies' dresses
are employed, and the colors. are the
same dark shades of golden brown,
pigeon gray, ruby, plum-color, dark
green and deep sapphire blue. Bro
caded velvet in small figures is COM
bined with satin, and the plain velvets
have ottoman repped silks or satin
Surah and much lace, and the new
clasps and buttons and chenille trim
mings are precisely like those worn by
women; the Moliere vest of satin Surah
is feature of many of these little dress
es; and there are Louis Quinze coats,
and cravats and pulled hip drapery in
the prevailing panier fashion. The lin
ing of the princesse dresses is of silesia,
and is the only part of the dress that is
continuous. The rich velvet is put on to
simulate a coat, and is fastened in front
under the soft vest of gathered satin
Sqrah This coat extends low over the
hips, where it meets box-plaiting or
kilt-plaiting that does duty as skirt,
and the seam that joins these is concealed
by pulled drapery of satin Surah that
ends behind in large sash bow. An
other princesse lining will have the
pigeon gray velvet which covers it from
the shoulders down cut to represent a
pointed waist falling on vertugadin
puff of plain velvet laid in box plaits at
the top, and gathered below to droop
on the skirt of plain ottoman silk. The
sleeves of these new dresses are bout
FAINT at top and plain coat shape below,
or else they are slightly full their whole
length, and are gathered under the arm
q few inches above the wrists. Garnet
and ruby are the red shades most used
in rich fabrics for small girls dresses,
and are prettily combined with pink
satin or contrasted with green. A bow
of velvet ribbon on the left shoulder is
on many of these dresses. A single
large pearl or metal clasp is put in the
sash bow on the back, and there is q
smaller clasp at the throat, and another
at the waist line to fasten over the. soft
vest. The vest is made of straight SUI
rah, about half width being sewed ON
each front, just below the collar, and
on the dress goods; it is gagged in two
or three rows, and is then gagged again
at the waist line; below this it may
hang in plain hemmed ends, or may be
bordered with lace or it may be turned
underneath to form puff The stand
ing collar with square corners, or else
the turned-over Byron collar, complete
the neck. When velvet is used for
children of three or four years it is
made in short broad coat style, re-
sembling walking coats, with two broad
box plaits in the back, and double
breasted fronts, trimmed with white
lace or else with embroidery. Harper's

When he was in Chicago with President
Arthur he, with number of other gen.

of the craze in Chicago for entering the

one of them fell dead from heart dis
ease. The others were fearful that the-
would be charged with murder, so one
went to the saloon and eDticed the bar
tender out, while the other carried the
corpse down and placed it in a chair
with its head on a table as if sleeping
off drunk. When the bartender re-
turned two men took a drink, saying
the drunken man in the chair would
pay for it, and went away. The bar
tender soon shook his customer and de-
manded his pay. The corpse fell over
on the floor, and as the bartender
stood trembling with fear the two men
returned with an officer. The bar
tender, anticipating his arrest, quickly
said: He struck me first Chicago

THE CITY CAT.
He is gaunt and thin, with ragged coat,
- A scraggy tail and hunted lqok;, o.
As he seeks repose in some quiet nook
A safe retreat from this world of sin,
And all of its boots and stones and that
For the life of cat is a life of din,
II he is city cat.
He is grumpy and stumpy and old and gray,
With sleepy look in his lonely eye,
(The other he lost at q matinee
Knocked out by boot from window hlgh..
Wherever he goes, he never knows
For the life of cat is the life of blows,
If he is q city cat.
He is pelted by boys if he stirs abroad.
He is chased by dogs if he dares to roam;
His grizzled bosom has never thawed
His life's perpetual warfare, waged
On balcony, back yard fence, and fiat;
For the life of cat is a life outraged,
It he is city cat.
The country cat is different beast,
Petted. ell-housed. demure and sleek;
Three times day he is called to feast,
And why should he not be quiet and meek?
No dreams of urchins. tin cans, and war
Disturb his sensuous sleep on the mat;
All! cat life is a thing worth living for,
If he isn't city cat.
And eve n when dead. the cat
With strldent members uneasy lies
In some alley way, and seems staring at
A coming foe with his Wild, wide eyes.
Another dead '1lon,' and who mourns for that
From birti, to death he poorly fares,
II he's only city cat.

EDITOR CHIEF:
There are many souls with single

Christmas. The little people are writing
notes t, Santa Claus and trying to decide
upon what most they desire of all the COW
eted treasures and the big people are con-
irving how to spend their money to the
best advantage. The streets and the shops
are so thronged that it is difficult to edge
ones way along. And what display of
beautiful things! How the sight of them
wakes up the generosity of our nature.
How we lose thought of self and set at once
to thinking how this lovely article would
just suit one friend and that would be the
very thing for another, and how our souls
glow with the JOY of hearts which we will
make happy at this Christmas tide!
