A Plea for Mother Goose and Doll Babies.
To the ditor of the Gazette.
There mas been published lately little
volume for children called "Nother
Truths Melodies" which book many of
our Fort Worth mothers are subscribing
for. In the opening lines Mother Truth
has ostensibly come to town to Gust that
old time favorite, Mother Goose. Mrs.
e. P. Miller, the author of Motr1F
Truth, has written quaint little 56ok,
which no doubt is capable Of teaching the
youthful idea to shoot, but why not lei
them have little leeven of nonsense, eHd
not try to crush out what mas
now become one of our most treasured
classics. The rhyme and jingle of
Mother Goose has nourished the infant
minds of many Of our shining lights Of
the present sge, and is surely fit mentak
food for the rising generation. ForsE
century or more has "Hey- diddle did6le,
the cat and the fiddle" charmed 4he
youthful mind, but now we are ftSFtell
them how impossible 1t Is to teach q cat
to play on the f1dle, and that the ma
tronly short-horn would never attempt
the feat of jumping over the moon. We are
to have no more children; the ah-goo
j
is to be taught morsl philosophy, the
sciences, and is to ask for catnip tea, in
stead of crying for an hour while the
whole family hunt for the pin. cannot
imagine young one that has not had
some portion of "Mother Goose" sung to-

tinted chambery OF Bingham, with whit
guimpe either tucked or embroidered.
tucking of white goods is inserted in the
front of the skirt and waist furnished with
embroidery top snd bottom and over
these tucks in the waist are two pointed
straps Of dress fabric. Half sleeves full
at the top have inserted at the back
pointed piece Of the tucking with one
strap across. At the back OF the waist
are three or four tucks Of the chambery
each side OF the tucks closing with but
tons and buttonholes
The Norah dress is charming and SIM
pie, made in any kind of washable goods,
either plain, stripes. checked, or fig
ured and consists of full skirt
with deep hem, above which is
line OF coral STITCHING in white or col
ored wash cottons. The center front
and back Of waist show the material put
on the lining plain, while the side forms,
both front and back, are full. Coral
stitching matching the skirt Is placed all
around the plain part Of the waist, and
around the neck below the standing col
la. Full sleeves are gathered into
straight band, done in the coral stitch. A
sash of ribbon is worn about the waist of
medium width, and tied in long topped
bow at one side OF the front.
NOTES.
Jersey waists are in greater demsnd
than ever.
Neckwear Of gold colored tulle is in full
feather.
Full sleeves and short waists always
appear corr unctively.
The black psnsy is copied by the Paris
ian flower makers as q decorative bios
som.
TIE new Msrseilles blue is to take the
place Of navy blue for summer gowns OF
linen, serge and flannel.
Jetted and lace-covered sunshsdes are
to accompany black lace costumes, aud
are found in thread, Spanish point and
ChantillY.
Full puff I'd sleeves with wide ruff ss are
the most stylish sleeves seen on any OF
the latter costumes Of India silks or thin
fabrics.
Point d'esprit edge, finely quilted,
makes q very charming bonnet for half
mourning, and ia very appropriate with
6lack lace costume.
Tiny rosettee Of narrowest Tom Thumb
ribbon make the trimming Of some very
stylish hats, not alone for little children,
burssor young ladies.
The pretty fashion Of side combs Of tor
toise shells is coming in again. They
make very pretty effects among the puffs
OF the new couture built high upon the
head.
The coming season the drawn bonnets
of white null or any soft, sheer fabric
will have the first place in popular favor,
because Of their becomingness as we'll as
their simplicity.
It is the fancy of the season to put loose
dresses, with short waists and half long
sleeves, on big girls. The Greenawsy
styles remain in highest favor for little
girls.
The most stylish parasols have natural
sticks, bronzsd handles, unequal divis-
ions or CORES, and are fancifully decorated
with ribbon and lace.
