know of nothing fuller of sweet and
tender interest than young girls just pass
ing the boundary line between childhood
and the time when they @sn don dresses
reaching TO their little fcer, and while the
prophecy OF the coming years lays it's first
shade over the smooth white brows. There
is something of n tender, breeding love and
foreboding that creeps into the heart as
they pass with the tripping walk of child
hood scarcely overcome in the more sedate
movement of the young lady, and the Won
Rering and half eXpectant look on their
young faces is inexprcssibly sweet and sad
to the older onlooker.
They are not bedight with gay colors and
frivolous furbelows these days, but COM
mon sense and a better knowledge of the
laws of health govern the habiting of our
children and young girls. They wear union
fanncls-light, snug, flexible and warm
covering the chest and arms aud reaching
to the boot tops. The hosiery is perfect,
after its kind, and reaches above the knee,
Wncrc IL Is suspended Dv cllStlcS with the
weight OIL the corset waist, and this has
straps over the shoulders. The shoes have
low heels and broad toes, and are made of
soft leather, so as not to crush the tender
bones into horrible shapes, as some of our
mothers used to do with their children.
There will be in winter one light cider
down flannel or crochcted skirt, buttoned
also on to the corset waist, and one dainty
white petticoat, with its pretty embroid-
cred ruilles. There will also be pair OF
white drawers, with their trimming, which
reach just to the knees
When remember that not over ten years
ago very few mothers considered it neces-
sary to put anything on n little girl for the
protection of her lower cXtremties beyond
pair of stockings and cotton drawers,
do not wonder that the children grew up
If they did-sickly and predisposed to con-
sumption and all the ills that atflict woni-

of women will be stronger and of more
even temper, for no invalid can maintain

There being n time for everything, it
would perhaps be good time right here
to show few of the newest outdoor hats
for young ladies. These hats are only
suitable for walking, riding and paying
calls, shopping and such occasions. They
are all large, and all becoming and hand
some, but should be relegated strictly to
the uses set forth above No true lady
will ever wear such u hat to concert, the
alter or church. The mark of true gen
tlcwoman is that she shows constant re-
gard for others comfort and pleasure, and
certainly it cannot give pleasure to go to
any public place where ones enjoyment
depends as much upon sight as hearing
You can hear singing or preaching. it is
true, without seeing the singer or preacher,
but you lose much of the understanding
by not seeing the facial expression and
gestures, and to have your view utterly

to buy an evening bonnet twist up Il pretty
little capote, toque or turban, which is the
proper thing to wear, and which is very
easy to do.
The hat which is shown at the top is in
tended for little girl who still wears her
hair loose, and it is of ivory white beaver
with ivory plumes. All the others are of
felt. Felt hats are in tan, mode gray
brown, black and green, besides terra Gotta
shades and they are unusually thick and
flexible. Many have woolly nap and
Others beaver finish. Generally felt is not

Hats for girls of this uncertain age arc
usually very large, and the sensible mother
endeavors to have them trimmed with in
destructible bows, feathers and such like
ornaments. The smaller the girl the larger

Some girlish and stylish cloaks are rep

do the daughters of the wealthest people
