ADULT.

oFrsnch-Some Useful Hints.

The baby, IL he could choose his own
clothing, would probably ask for no
more than two blankets to lie between
which would give him absolute freedom
to kick and grow.
Nainsook embroidered gowns he would
say, are superfuous veneer, and as TO
the number Of garments laid down in
the orthodox calendar as proper for him
TO wear all at once, he would certainly,
IL seems, object TO it II he knew how.
The novice, at any rate, in baby's be-
half cannot iorbear some astonished ex-
preston Of being told that an infant
supports, when ordinarily dressed. no
less than eight separate and distinct
pieces OF apparel. Poor little cartilage
nous thing! How much more tired even
than "a adult he must get OF his clothes.
But there is another view point
which comes to light after making a
practical acquaintance with the
choicest wardrobes, or 'layettes, as
they are called.
The fabrics are so flmy and the work
is so exQusitely done that the entire
outfit has weight that is infnitesimal,
and to take up a single piece makes one
feel like Brobdignagian. Baby is not
abused, after all

A reiormor has advocated opening
all the garments in front and tying
them on. This would not be reform
in the appearance. A line exactly BIZ
secting the front OF child or adult from
neck 10 feet is not agreeable, and the
adults custom Of fastening the close
fitting dress thus has grown out OF util'
ity.
The fact is intuitively recognized in
the design Of little girls garments, and
II is only when they are able to dress
themselves and their gowns are made 70
open in front. This criticism does not
apply 10 lesser outside garments, sacks
and cloaks, whose most important OBJ
ject is to protect the shoulders.
These have the opening naturally In
front, and should appear by their cut
or trimming 10 be held on oy the for.
ward movement Of the shoulders rather
than by precisely fastened middle
seam.
This is the explanation OF why cloak
looks better with border down each
side Of the front than with only one
border. The detention is thus referred
TO the shoulder rather than 70 the
seam.
Baby garments should By all analogy
suggest rudimentary things, and accord
ingly we find that the most artistic lay
cites are the most elementary in form
and ornamen:ation. Trimming. which
is developed out Of the fabric itself is
simpler than that which is added TO It.
IL is also more elegant.

! Whoever has big enough purse buys
& French layette, but IL Is useful and
good thing TO know that IS exquisite
work can be had, made by our own
countrywomen, at amuch smaller price.
The confession Is imperative for hon
esty that the fine work To which l refer
appears to be done by elderly women,
some OF them as old as rs, which per-
haps argues not so much a revival as a
decay OF the art. Whether needlework
is likely to flourish as an art in America
is a question.
The slip or gown must be OF finest
nainsook or India silk. The length
varies from SO 10 80 inches. American
slips have half-inch box tucks down
back and front OF the waist, with feather
stitching between.
The gown has waist, or yoke, or
both, needieworked, and where skirt
and sleeves are gathered on the seams
are covered with fat bands feather
stitched. The sleeves are stright and
FULL aud at wrists are confined with a
loose band OF nee1lework.
The skirt is hemmed four or five
inches deep, with drawn hemstitching.
The price for nansook slips, hand made,
varies with the work, from Sl.25 for
plain ones upwards. Very pretty needle
work ones can be had for SO and 81.
Plain cambria ones are 90 cents.
A French model illustrated here has
has yoke Of alternate feather stitch
ing and drawn-work, edged with lace;
waist gathered in front and lozenge-
shaped spaces of needlework at inter
walls down the front.
Another one, OF India silk, has solid
space Of drawp-work on the waist, and
squares Of drawn work over the front OF
the skirt.
Such gowns cost up into the trentles,
but the importers sell the three parts
separate, or the middle-worked yoke
alone, and they can be made I'd at home
with less expense.

NOTES PROM a TRAVELLER.
A wheeling Citizen Describes the Beauti-
fuI Michigan summer Resort.

A Wheeling Citizen Describes the Beauti-
full Michigan summer Resort,
Capt. VIM. Irwin, of this city, who is
now summering at that delightful Mich
igan resort, Bay View, sends an inter-
esting letter TO friend here, descrip-
tive Of scenes and incidents OF the
travel.
After speaking Of his brief sojourn in
Detroit, and OF his sail on Lake st. Clair
he says:
But what surprised US all most was
the large amount OF commerce that goes
and comes on these lakes. Why, at times,
we could count as high as a dozen yes
sells OF all kinds and mixed ships, ships
and schooners, and large sturners. and
last, but not the least, the odd-looking
whale-back. Oh, what immense cruis-
ers they are! They so three In tow,
the forward one has powerful engines
and the other two fifty yards stern.
They looked to me just like one OF Hugo
Loos's Cedar Keys stogies; they crawl
along Just above the water, and they are
almost the same color and shape. l
have not as yet purchased one, fearing
that il Bro. List should wish 10 visit the
Fulton paper mill, or Pres Lamb wanted
to 20 up to his presenJsummer residence
at Elm Grove they would perhaps
have some trouble getting them up
Wheeling Creek, over the bars. as they
usually draw when light only fifteen to
twenty-five feet.
No traveller can sit in the cars from
the City of Mackinac to Bay View and
not be perfectly delighted with the
diversified aspect of the country. This
northern desert is being converted into
garden Of wonderful fertility. The
arm of industry is mighty in subduing
this pine-denuded country. Several
years ago when we were through this
country it looked so bleak AMI barren
that we remarked mentally that the
birds going northward would have sc
carry several days rations while cross
ing this, waste. But to-day fields Of
golden grain wave under the exuberant

weak enough to be pleased with the
pretty semblance of simplicity.
One interesting fact, at least, is made
evident by the babies wardrobes on sale
In New York. The art Of needlework
does exist In America. Encouraged
largely by the Woman's Exchange, our
women are exhibiting some mettle as
fine needle-workers, and their results
compare we'll with the best French work,
which has always been and is to-day the
measure OF excellence.

Striking Machinists Discharged,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 15.-All
the Panhandle striking machinists
were discharged Sunday morning.
1t is claimed by the blacksmiths that
they received communication from
the union officials in which they were
instructed to strike upon the employ
ment of the first scab by the COM
pany. Master Mechanic Swanson
states the men make higher wages at
piece work than at regular wages
and they have struck because it in
dividualizes them, when the object of
the union is to put all workmen on
the same plane.

Frank Fore, Alleged Express RObber, Didn't
Get Damages,

TExARKANA, Ark, Feb. 15.-The
case of Frank Fore against the Pacific
Express company for $4,000 damages
for alleged false imprisonment, on
trial since Thursday last in the
United States court at Jefferson, was
concluded today. The jury returned
a verdict for the defendant after de-
liberation of only about five minutes.
About eight months ago an ex-
press car was robbed in the yard
here and some of the money taken
was traced to Fore, who, under pro-
vision of the Texas statutes, was at
tached and taken before court of in
quiry to testify as to who stole the
money. He escaped Indictment on
this score, but the grand jury found a
bill against him, charging him with
the theft of watch, which indict-
ment is still pending against him in
the district court of this county.

The l. & G. N. Unpaid Bonds.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-An injunction
was served this morning upon the
Central Trust company, temporarily
restraining the company from paying
any money in their hands on account
of the defaulted coupons of the Inter-
national and Great Northern Railway
company. The order to show cause is
made returnable on the 18th instant.
The total amount of the coupons I'M
paid and accrued interest thereon is
1874, 957. In addition, there is an
unpaid judgment in favor of Jay
Gould for 1857 1888. Under the plan of
reorganization, the Central Trust COM
pany was to redeem unpaid coupons,
one-half in cash, the other half scrip.
The plan, however, has not been
adopted, but coupons were to be taken
up today in the manner described.
The injunction was obtained by the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas road.

Slick Bunco Steerer Caught.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. l5.-An
expert bunco steerer, Andrew M.

last evening by detective, charged
with being a dangerous and suspi-
cious character. Oreibaugh was ar
rested two weeks ago at Dallas on
suspicion of his knowing something
about the $4,000 worth of diamonds
which were missing from DR.. Gray's
room at the Windsor hotel. The
prisoner is the man who some time
