FOR THE CHILDREN.

Whatever is picturesque, quaint, and
pretty in children's clothing is stylish
nowadays. As. or even more than,
with their elders, fashion lays down a
few broad lines, and on these fancy
builds to suit itself.
The loose English sacque, the prin-
cesse dress, the Mother Hubbard, and
the quaint, old-fashioned grandmother
dress form what artists would call the
motif of the costume, while materials,
trimmings, and drapery furnish scope
for infinite variety in arrangement.
And. while the garments are pictur-
esque. they are also exceedingly COM
Portable. Only wee babies are dressed
altogether in white. Girls of two and
boys even younger, as a rule, wear
frocks of fine cashmere or of French
flannel. which washes as well as cali
CO, for ordinary occasions, and when
pique or lawn is donned for full dress
the warm underclothing prevents all
danger of cold. The favorite, almost
the universal, model for these first
wooden dresses is the English sacque-
either plain or with broad pleats back
and front. 1t is simply hemmed or fin
ished with pleating at the front, as
fancy dictates. Over it is worn q
Mother Hubbard or French yoke apron
of white lawn. pleated muslin, or for
the nursery in the morning, of white
gingham, in small checks, which en-
tirely covers the wooden dress worn be-
meath it. Sometimes the little dress,
also, is made with yoke like the
apron, but the fullness caused by gath
ering on the straight skirt is apt to in
terfere with the set of the apron worn
over it; therefore the sacque dress is
more popular.
Children of all ages should in this
climate in winter wear flannel next the
skin, and to the credit of American
mothers be it said that those who do
not are the exception. Merino shirts
come in sizes small enough for babies
of 6 months old; the smallest size in
wooden drawers fits 2-year-old.
Younger children wear knitted gar
ments, and the knitted drawers or
drawers and leggings in one intended
for wear out of doors may be had large
enough for child Of years. After
that age the regular leggings are pre-
ferred. Knit and crocheted leggings
are much more popular than those of
cloth, velvet, or velveteen. They fit
more closely to the leg, yet give more
freely to movement, and many mothers
think that encasing the leg in cloth is
apt to give stiffness to the walk and
render it more or less ungracefulin aft
er life, besides increasing any already
existing tendency toward turning in
the toes.
With their flannel and cashmere
dresses girls of larger growth wear
colored flannel underskirts, balmoral
of red. blue, or gray, tucked or trim
med with pleatings at the bottom. A
second petticoat, knitted of yarn or
made of flannel without pleatings, may
be worn underneath the balmoral in
midwinter, but most mothers consider
the one skirt in addition to the flannel
drawers and the woolen dress skirt
quite sufficient for the health and COM

THE BALTIMORE CONFERENCE ON
TEMPERANCE

rBE BALTIMORE CONFERENCE ON
TEMPERANCE.
The Baltimore Conference, the oldest
and most influential Methodist body in
this country. embracing Washington City
and Baltimore. has just closed its annual
session. The Washington Star reports q
warm debate on the Temperance question,
in the course of which the Rev. Thomas
Myers said that the late Presidential cam
paign had thrown the Temperance cause
back ten years. The Rev. Peyton Brown
said that in his opinion the cause had been
put back twenty years.
Finally, after much discussion, and no
little feeling, the following resolution was
adopted:
That We continue to regard the great Ten
perance reform as worthy of our unqualified
support, and pledge ourselves to spare no
effort within our power for its advancement,
and that we express our confidence in the
State Alliance as an agency, but that we be-
lieve all partisan political affiliations to be un-
wise and dangerous as methods for its propa-
cation.

Dog Love Overdone.

The exaggerated fondness of women
for pets of the canine species has more
than once been commented upon aud
criticised. Dogs, as part of outdoor
life, are worthy all admiration and de-
votion from either sex, but when they
are elevated to the drawing-room and
carriage, to the arms, even, of a sensi-

At dinner reception recently given in

"a condition precedent Of better busi-
ness" says the Philadelphia Record, "is
the wider recognition of the fact that the
material interests of the country are on a
more solid basis than they were a year
age, and that the point where recuperation
should begin has been reached. Low
prices, that have lessened profits and
made business at the moment unsatisfac-
tory, are guarantee of greater safety to
investors. There are fewer disquieting
influences at work" That is to say. we

A TOUCH OF SPRING.

in rich dark blue. The vest is made

tons of antique silver. The cloth cut

ner just below the waist line. The
front drapery, also of cloth, is long and
full, being arranged at the left side to
display the folds and velvet Of the skirt
nearly its entire length. The edges of
over drapery. the jacket, neck, and
sleeves are all bordered with Kurs-
heedt's embroidered tinsel braid in odd
Egyptian designs. The braid is in rich
blue, with silver tinsel embroidery
over its surface. The jaunty hat to
wear with this stylish suit is in blue
velvet, matching that in the skirt. 1t
is trimmed with rosette of braids and
double bands, together with cluster
of blue ostrich tips. An ornament of
antique silver adds much to the styl-
ish appearance of this becoming hat.
Very stylish is a new suit for spring
of Gilbert cloth in one of the new drab
tones, trimmed with velvet in a darker
shade. The cloth skirt is striped with
bands Of velvet, which end in loops, and
the lower skirt edge embroidered with
two narrows of knife-pleating. The
plastron and tunic are cut together;
the plastron is pleated from the throat
and secured at the waist-line by band
or belt of velvet; the tunic falls low on
the left side, is draped on the right
with bands of velvet, and has graceful,
puffed drapery at the back. The cloth
jacket is open, exposing the silk lining,
and is turned back in revers on the |
chest The collar is of velvet, and vel |
vet bands trim the sleeves. The ca
pote bonnet of velvet has a pleated
front, and is finished with cluster of |
very handsome ostrich tips.

This garment is very dressy, and fits

Of this wrap are fitted by single dart

spicuous and pleasing part of the de-
sign, being gathered little at the
shoulders and turned upward on the

Instruction in Manners.

"a iudicious Wife" SAYS Ruskin, .sis
always nipping of from her husbands
moral nature little twigs that are grow
ing in wrong directions. She keeps
him in shape by continual pruning"
If this is true, says writer in the
Boston Globe. there are a few points of
minor morals, that is manners, on
which l wish some Of my married
friends would give their husbands a
course of instruction. And first Of
these is something which they were
supposed to have learned in dancing
schools or in the nursery at home-that
is, show to make bow to the lady,"
They acquit themselves pretty credita-
bly, on state occasions, during introduce
ton ceremonies, and so forth, but the
average man is lamentably careless in
the matter of street salutations. and
not one in hundred but what would
get new idea or two on the subject if
you read him the following paragraph
from 1.-The Mentor"
In public the bow is the proper mode
of salutation, and, according to circum-
stances, it should be familiar, cordial,
respectful, or formal. An inclination
with the head or GESTURE with the
hand or cane suffices between men, ex-
cept when one should be especially de-
ferent as to age or position; but in sa-
luting lady the hat should be remov-
ed. A very common mode Of doing
this at present, particularly by the
younger men, is to jerk the hat off and
sling it on as hastily as possible. As
haste is incompatible with grace, and
as there is an old pantomimic law
"that every picture must be held" for
longer or shorter time, the jerk-and-
sling manner of removing the hat in
salutation is not to be commended.
The empressment man puts into his
salutation is graduated by circum-
stances, the most deferential manner
being to carry the hat down the full
length of the arm, keeping it there un-
til the person saluted has passed. II q
man stops to speak to lady in the
street he should remain uncovered, un-
less the conversation should be pro-
tracted, which it is sure not to be if
either Of the party knows and cares to
observe the proprietieS. A well-bred
man, meeting lady in a public place,
though she is a near relative-wife,
mother, or sister-and though he may
have parted from her half an hour be-
fore. will salute her as deferentially as
he would salute mere acquaintance.
The passers-by are ignorant of the re-
lationship, and to them his deferential
manner says: "She is lady"
Then there's the matter of tobacco.
OF course you and every other woman
agree with Mrs. Frances Harper when
she said, at the Woman's congress not
long since, that she thought it the
proper thing for man to keep his
mouth nice enough to be kissed. But
if your husband will smoke. do use your
influence to have him do it like a gen.
tleman, if possible. That is, let him
