FOR YOUNG GIRLS.
What Little Girls From Eight to Twel
Years Old Are Wearing.

What Little Girls From Eight to Twelve
Years Old Are Wearing.
Girls from eight to twelve years OF
age now wear the Gretchen dresses
that were first used merely by their
little sisters. These are very pretty
when made of striped muslins or ging-
hams, with high neck, long sleeves,
and a pleated white muslin front of
about six inches in breadth down the
middle of the plain waist; across these
muslin pleats are straps of the dress
material sewed on one side and but
toned on the opposite side. There are
also many low Gretchen waists worn
over separate guimpe of muslin that
has lengthwise tucks and insert on as
far as it is visible above the low neck.
This is prettily made in the substantial
goods called ''cram stripes, with inch
wide stripes of white twill alternating
with stripes of blue or buff or
maroon-color. The plain waist
fastened behind has a round low
neck with a scant frill of embroidery
three inches wide sewed around it to
fall carelessly over on the waist SIM
liar frill is gathered around the arm
hole; there is no sleeve. The skirt is
of three straight breadths of this goods
(Which is nearly yard wide). and is
finished at the foot with hem four
inches deep. 1t is gathered simply to
the waist, and has no belt, but merely
sash of the goods. eight inches wide,
sewed to the under-arm seams and tied
behind; this sash is cut across the
goods, and its length is from selvedge
to selvedge.
For ''one-piece' dresses, as they are
called, for girls from seven to twelve
years, the newest design cuts off the
skirt entirely, and pleats or gathers it
to the waist at the waist line. THERE'S
then sloped jacket-like front closing
at the throat and sloping open thence
below the hips, where it crosses
squarely, and forms the under-arm
pieces and side form of
the back. This Jacket piece on
striped gingham and pique dresses has
an embroidered edging upon it, and
there are rows of insertion down the
front of the waist that appears under
the jacket, while the back of the waist
has three box pleats in it. The front
of the waist fastens on the left side
under the Jacket, and there is deep
round collar of the insertion and edg-
ing. Narrow stripes of bingham of
pink with white, blue and white. or
else two shades of red or blue, make ur
prettily in this way.
Blue flannel and also red flannel
dresses are made for girls country and
travelling suits. They are similarly
shaped to the dresses just described.
and they are also made with kilt skirts
and sailor blouses. Harper's Bazar.

1t is open for business daily from eight

from fifteen to twenty-five cents per
pound, according to length. The sellers
are mostly poor old men and women
and ragged gamins. Much of the to-
bacco thus scraped together is sold to
workmen, and much is also said to be
exported under the title of Tabac de
Paris. There was an old man in the
Maubert quarter formerly who became
so rich at this humble business of sell
ing cigar stumps that he had an annual
income of 5000.

| Spasmodic Attempts to Construct a Rail-
way in That Hostile Section.
The title of the Soudan Railway is
misleading. The line itself was indeed
originally intended to lead to the Sou
dan; but it is located in Nubia, and is
| many hundreds of miles distant from
the Soudan, which it does not reach. At
the end of September. 1884. Major
Wilberforce Clarke, r. E., Director of
Railways, arrived at Sarras, and by the
9th of October Ca period of twenty
eight days)-when the railway works
| were, by order of Lord Wolseley, sus-
pended-carried out the railway up the
hills to mile forty on the hilltop, and
len 9Th, to the Nile. For the construc-
ton of the line neither engines nor
trolleys were available, and only
twenty-eight men OF the Sth (Railway)
Company Il. f. were employed. The
material, laden in railway wagons,
was pushed up the hills by hand,
painfully laborious task. On the Sth
of December, Major Clarke's successor,
the officer commanding the Sth (Rail-
way Company r. E.. took up the
work, and by the 21st of January last
Ga period offorty-five days., carried out
the railway to mile 46 1-2 on the fiat
hilltop of the Muhrat Hills. This Off
Ger had at his command the strength,
155 men, of the r. f. (Railway) Com
pany. sufficient number of lOcomo-
tives, and many trolleys. On the 14th
of August 1884, the Nile expedition was
decided upon; but it was not till the
5th of Octo Der that the Sth (Raiiway)
Company r. E. arrived at Wady Halfa.
Up to the last moment it had been kept
under instructions on a railway in En-
gland. In September last, at Cairo, the
greatest confusion prevailed in the
minds of the authorities as to the Nile
Valley Railway; even the gauge was
unknown, and valuable time was con-
sequently lost.
1t may be interesting to your read
ers to know that at Assault, the south
ern terminus of the Egyptian railways,
Nile Valley, the following notice was
posted up: mo private gentlemen nor
travelling officers are permitted south
of Assouan without the special permis-
sion of Lord Wolseley. They must
give their word of honor that they are
not newspaper correspondents, nor in
any way connected with the press.
They will receive no assistance as re-
CARDS camels or rations. and are here
by informed that Lord Wolseley has no
employment for them. Cor. London
