CHARLES DICKENS DAUGHTER.

In Charles Dickens rooms in
Furnivals Inn, that quaint old bit
Of Legal London on a buster
ing March day in 1893 was born the
novelist's first daughter and sec
ond child, Mary, writes Frederick
Dolman in delightful sketch,
with portrait, Of the home life and
personality of the eldest daughter
of the famous novelist in the July
Ladies Home Journal.
His daughters advent was cele-
brated by ride to the hospitable
inn at Barnet, which Dickens took
with Mr.. FOrste, to whom he wrote,
announcing the event and inviting
him to the ride, that work for the
time is impossible - The little dau.
ghter was welcomed by the girl
wife, and by the young man of
twenty-six, who was degining his
literary career by being known as
the author of the Sketches by
Boz" She was christened Mary,
after younger sister ofthe mothers
who had died at the age of
seventeen, and whose epitaph
Dickens had written for the little
mound at Kensal Green:
Young, beautiful and good,
God, in His mercy, numbered her
among His angels at the early age
of seventeen"
But Mary seemed too sedate a
name for the tiny baby girl, and
the father soon called her Mamie, 3"
and by that name she has con-
tinued to be known to all her init
mates.
Brothers and sisters followed
quickly the first little daughter, and
assisting in their care developed all
the motherly instincts of the little
girl, and gave her love for, and
understanding of children, which
have never left her. In 1890 her
dearly loved sister Kate was born,
and although her years seniority
enabled Mamie to play the part of
care taker and guardian she was al
so happy in sharing the pleasures
and pursuits of the baby sister.
Up to the time of Kate's marriage
to brother of Wilkie Collins, at
the age of twenty she and Mamie
were inseparable, sharing their
room and lessons, as they had their
toys anu games in babyhOod.

SKIRTS OF A LATE DATE.

One of the handsomest skirts, a
new Emipre i'll shape, is of three
widths of material at least forty
four inches wide, writes Emma E,
Hooper in a valuable article on the
81. attest Designs in Dress" in the
July Ladies Home Journal. The
front and back widths are gored
slightly on the sides, and the third
width forms a gore for each side,
gored on both edges and twenty
five inches wide at the bottom and
five at the top. short skirts for
street gowns and summer dancing
gowns are now a settled fact.
Haircloth Innings or facings to the
knees are worn by those wishing
the very much fared skirt, while
others use soft crinoline or only
the ordinary canvas bias facing
from ten to twelve inches deep, all
depends upon the amount of flare"
desired, but the exclusive modistes
of New York do not predict long
season of wide and fared skirts.
A new lining for waists and skirts
is ofpercaline having MORE effect,
which presents much of the appear
ance, feeling and rustling Of silk at
third of its price. The flat fronts
are too much admired to give them
up, but they are now fitted in a
looser fashion, and few tabliers
are seen on home and imported COS
tunes. The most popular lining is
shaped just like the outside materi-
al, though Dame Rumor has it
that the regular foundation skirts
will return to impede easy walking
and flap against the ankles. A
French shape for demi train has
front breadth gored on each side,
twelve inches wide at the top,
twenty inches at the bottom and
fitted closer with two or four darts
at the top; each side gore is sloped
up either side, and is twenty inches
on the lower edge and nine at the
top, with a dart on either side; the
back is Of five breadths, each
twenty inches, and gored up both
sides to three inches in width at the
top. The fullness at the back is
laid in six or eight large gathers
that give the effect of organ plaits.
All of the full skirts have round
effects in the trimmings, though
many of the gored designs made
for short or stout figures are trim
med lengthwise by covering each
seam with narrow gimp, or piping
with a tiny double bias fold or cord
each seam of the front and sides.
