The English small girl is more pictur-
esque than ever, for now we are told her
hair is cut short at top and sides and the
back drawn up and plated at night so as
to make wavy background for her face.
Then her frock is very full as to skirt,
sleeve and waist, with shocking III place
of bands, and below that CATERS and
stout, low shoes take the place of the
high boots seen upon her American
cousin.
A handsome walking costume of gray
cloth has all the front of the skirt hand
sOmely braided. The cloth skirt is put
on over a plated silk one. 1t is also
plated, in full double plaits, at the back;
but i'll front it is merely gathered, and
very slightly draped on the left side with
three handsome agrafes of gray passe-
menterie. The bodice, which is cut all in
one piece, princess fashion at the back
is separate from it and peaked in front;
the fronts are braided ON each side and
slightly open, to show a peaked plastron
of plated gray silk. Agrafes of passe-
menterie are placed upon the shoulders,
and the coatsleeves are braided up to the
elbow.
A stylish winter gown for young lady
is made of golden-brown camel's hair,
with stripes in cashmere pattern, in which
scarlet, green, bronze and gold are richly
blended. The skirt is plain, with most
of the fullness massed at the back The
jaalet corsage has a Charles y. revers
collar spreading on each side of a vest of
gOlden-brown cloth braided in multi
colOred soutache, i'll which the colors of
the stripe are reproduced. The sleeves
of the camel IS hair fabric are faced nearly
to the elbow with the plain cloth, this
facing put on to resemble mousque-
taire cuff. The braiding work nearly
covers the facing.

this year, during the present week. Over
$3.50 was raised on Monday, and over
