Evening Costumes for Children.

Mothers and guardians are often sorely
perplexed, when called upon by the exigen-
cies of a wedding, children's dance or a
birthday party, to select fitting costumes for
their little boys or girls
Plush and velvet are materials much en-
ployed, with occasionally an admixture OF
silk. A pretty suit treated i'll this way for a
child from to years old is of green plush
and light blue silk, the tones admirably
blended 1t was made with full knicker-
bockers, and zouave jacket over full silk
blouse, with broad pleat down the center,
and ending in wide sash, which goes round
the waist, and falls at the side in two fringed
ends.
The plush sleeves are made sufficiently
short to show "a full silk sleeve below, set in
wristband, and large turn down collar of
the silk is laid outside the jacket giving a
bright, light appearance, well suited to a
young boy. For a little older lad there is a
suit of plush made with light brcechcs, fas-
tened at the knee; silk waistcoat of lighter
shade, secured with steel buttons; the all
around jacket lined with the same, and turn
ing back on either side to show this lining.
A Norfolk jacket made in plush, with the
band low down on the waist, fastened with a
metal clasp, is a new idea, and has breeches
to correspond This can be made in velvcteen
in black, brown, blue or red. Sailor suits
are also made in plush or velveteen, trimmed
with gold braid, and have silk and gold
cord round the neck These sailor suits are
worn at juvenile parties and do well for fancy
balls, as well as for ordinary juvenile dances,
which is an advantage shared by the favorite
costume Of Lord Fauntleroy.
In the annexed cut is shown an appropriate
evening costume for boy known as the
cavalier suit 1t is of black velvet; the
sash is of MORE ribbon. A guipure lace col
lar and a pulled shirt are accessories to this
handsome and effective suit.

Tariff Reform.

Those who believe that the late election
has settled the tariff issue" will soon have
good reason to acknowledge themselves
mistaken. Unquestionsbly there has never
been time in the history of the United
States when so large body of earnest and
intelligent men have become united upon
the proposition that the government shall
no longer tax the few for the benefit of the
many.
The issue cannot be evaded or postponed
the fight will be continued both In season
and out of season until this odious system
of robbery and plunder-miscalled protec-
tion-is completely swept away.
"'The American Reform League" is max
ing active preparations for convention of
tariff reformers that Is TO be held In Chi
cago on the 10Th, Goth and 2lst of February
1889. They expect TO have present the
ablest advocate of tariff reform in the coun.
