ner. Do not put too sombre a color
upon a sad-faced child; neither have
all around sashes on a stout
little figure, which requires
tspering effects. A little thought
will soon settle this part of the task,
which is the simples. Blouse suits OF
the cotton initiating flannel; lawn
tennis flannel, which is part cotton,
and all-wool blue and white iannels.
and surge are the most comfortable OF
play dresses, and for little ones at the
seaside nothing can replace them. Ii
trimmed in any manner, let it be with
cotton or wooden braid. according to
the material of the dress. Sew the
gathered skirt, which is amply full
and heInmed, to a silesia underwaist,
and have a sailor blouse, with the
regular sailor collar and coat or skirt
sleeves, with a round neck or tiny
band as preferred. Misses wear the
blouse suits made in a similar style,
and their half-worn skirts may be en-
tirely worn out with two or three odd
blouscs made in this fashion, or, as
belted waists of wash surah or striped
tennis flannel.
Nainsook for guimpes may be had
ready tucked, or the white embroid-
cry can be used. Separate guimpes
are advocated, as they are easier to
wash. White frocks are of plain
nainsook OF embroidered fiouncing, ~
inches wide. Those of last season
may be remodelled by adding a waist
belt of insertion, vest of the same and
revers of edging over a tucked
guimpe. II the skirt is too short,
lengthen it with a row of insertion let
in. Plaid and striped ginghams are
always neat with accessories of EN-
broidery, and small figured sateens
are frequently made over for little
ones and worn with the inevitable
guimpe, which is called an "Alner-
lean idea," though it originated in
France.
Any dress to be made over for a
young girl can have new sleeves, yoke
and skirt border of tartan plaid wool
len goods, cut bias. This may be used
for any plain, dark woollen goods,
and If the renovated dress is of striped
material, the extra portions added are
Of plain cashmere. Their sleeves are
full, collars high, or pleated and
turned over, and the skirts are usual
ly full and gathered. Round waists,
jacket bodices and pointed basques
having full fronts, are worn by young
girls, with full vests, girdles, half
belts and cuffs similar to those worn
by older girls. The only silk addition

Bis Face was Familiar.
An amusing incident occurred at
Senator Morrill's reception on Mon
day night. 1t was the occasion of his
eightieth birthday. Although the Pres
ident does not usually appear at any
but Cabinet houses, he departed from
the custom in this instance as an.
especial mark of respect to the gentle
man in whose honor the reception
was given.
Mrs. Harrison was also present and
in the. early part Of the evening they
stood near the host. Later they
moved into the second drawing
room. While there the President
noticed a lady smiling at, him,
as If she expected some mark of
recognition. After awhile she n
toward him, still with the same look
of expectancy. When quite near the
President gave her his hand, and
said
Uoou evening, madam; l am glad
to see you"
She looked at him delightedly, and
said:-
II just felt sure when / saw you en-
tering the room that / had met or
known you. but will you excuse Inc if
| ask you your name. 1t has slipped
my memory
The people who heard it enjoyed
the twinkle in the eye and the half
humorous gravity on the Presidents
face, as he courteously gave the de-
sired information. In another min
ute the episode was being retailed all
over the house.
ADVICE TO MoTHERs.-MRs WINsLow's SoorH-
ING SYRUP should always be used when children
are cutting teeth. 1t relieves the little sufferer
at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by re-
lieving the child from pain, and the little cherub
awakes as bright as a button. : 1t is very
pleasant to taste. 1t soothes the child. softens
the gums, a1lays all pain, relieves wind, regu-
lates the bowels. and is the best known remedy
for diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or
other causes. Twenty-Five cents a bottle.*&*
