ment is suitable alike for girls and boys.
The wool tricoting is very strong and
flexible and will not tear and never
seems to wear out, which makes it
very useful fabric for these tots who roll
and crawl quite as much as they walk,
and it is also light in weight. 1t can be
secured In all light solid colors and also
in stripes. Tiny hand knit socks and
stockings are much more fashionable for
small children than they were, and the
baby that wears such is considered an
aristocrat-generally a "bloated one at
that.
A very pretty frock for little girl Of

Knows Of soft wool in the color that
becomes her best, if the mother has her
choice and is not obliged to make over her
own old ones. There is yoke and fore
arms Of some novelty brocade, or if pre-
ferred they can be of the same material,
braided with gold soutache. The skirt
is plain and the waist shirred on. There
is a sash of soft surah to match. The
whole plan is simple, pretty and service
able.
Hats for the children are the biggest
when they are smallest, paradoxically
speaking, and this year they are made so
that they bend and dent in every direc-
ton, but look all the more artistic. Soft
and fluffy plumes, big satin bows and a
lovely bunch of spring flowers are seen
ON the newest, according to taste, but
some of them have all three at once.
For little girls fre1n to 10 years the
gowns are made plain and neat, with
very little ornamentation. From 10 to
is the skirts are almost always plain,
but the waists are-some Of them-quite
elaborate and interchangeable with diff
ferent skirts, so that with one waist can
be worn three or four different skirts.
One such eorsage was made with a
pointed Elton jacket front of navy blue
brocade. with vest collar and under
sleeves Of pale blue surah, with the edges
of the ruffie embroidered in open pat
tern, something quite new, on silk. The
collar was high, and in front was bow
and jahot of the embroidered silk. With
this waist there were four skirts, one of
dark blue cashmere with piping of pale
blue on the upturned hem; pale blue
cashmere with feather stitching In white
and dark blue mingled; prune colored
crepon made quite plain except for a
very narrow quilting Of pale blue at the
bottom under the hem and scarcely visi-
BILE from the outside. The fourth was a
dark moss green, and this was cut bell
shape and piped down every seam with
pale blue This made really quite a
handsome wardrobe with small expense
and trouble, as it is the waist in these
DAYS that gives the most trouble.

A Russian blouse of black lace and
velvet, with a richly beaded girdle, makes
another most useful corsage for a grow
ing girl, as its loose and graceful draper
les distract the eye from the awkward
hess Of the uniformed figure. In making
this lining to the waist portion of
black lace silk is a good plan, but it
should be postiche, as often the blouse
would be worn over some entire cos

New York, Feb. 16.-I like babies,

they are to wear-those who have fairy
god1nothers, mean, and who can have
the pretty things that only money can
buy and leisure can complete.
The most useful as well as most ex-
pensive little gowns are knit of silk,
Just like stocking, with more or less
ornamentation on the edges and on
sleeves and to define outlines. Some OF
these made in colored washable silk make
the richest of tiny frooks to wear over
guimpes. The guimpe can be of muslin
or wash silk. as suits the season. Many
mothers pass their spare time knitting
them. There is picture Of one with
this, showing the back. The front
reaches straight from the yoke to the
bottom, with an edging on each side, but

PHILADELPHIA, March 26.-With
the proud distinction OF having
broken the records of all preliml-
nary trials and of being the fastest
armored vessel in the world the
cruiser New York returned to the
Cramps shipyard this morning:
Despite the heavy rain and bit
ing wind 5000 enthusiastic Phila-
Gelphians cheered the war ship as
she backed out into the stream and
stood down the river on her trial
trip. Captain Sargent acknowl-
edged the salutes with the power
full siren whistle, and the mighty
100000 ship was headed down
the Delaware. Then arose another
wild shout as the four powerful en-
gines began to work and the water
was crushed into foam astern.
The maximum pressure OF steam
carried was 100 pounds. Starting
with forty-five revolutions a speed
Of ten knots was attained until
Greenwich point was passed. After
this the new vessel warmed to her
work At ninety-fve revolutions
the speed increased to 17.5 knots,
delueing the vessel with spray.
The vessel glided through the water
as lightly and noiselessly as a
Yacht however, and scarcely VI

On the first trial the course from

miles an hour. On the second trial,
returning over the same course, the
time was 90 minutes 81 seconds,
or q speed of 1887 nautical miles.
The average of the two trials was
1895 miles an hour.
The cruiser was then headed
eastward into deeper water. On a
run of four consecutive hours she
maintained speed of 2O.3S knots

Der Of trees the crop this year, in
the number of baskets, would have
been the largest in the history OF

are bearing as well rs they ever did
and tie fact that the crop is smaller
than in other years is because the
number OF trees left after the raw
ages of the yellows is less than it
was when the crops exceeded the
one this year.
The fact that there is a good crop
of peaches means much to the people
of the Peninsula. No value OF the
crop can be estimated, but some OF
the growers have expressed the
hope that the price of peaches will
not fall below 25 cents a basket AT
