lures, as we'll as small checks in the
colors mentioned. Red is worn some,
and SO is light Havana brown, and for
dressy occasions they wear the same
light and delicate shades and nice light
woods and silks that their elder sisters
do. But they are made extremely girl
ish and never low necked for American
girls. No American girl wears a low
dress until she is really "out."
No young girl under sixteen ever wears
a bonnet anywhere, or velvet or bro
cade wrap or cloak. The hats differ lit
tie from those worn by young ladies and
children under twelve, partaking little
of each.
The hair should be worn in a long
braid until the girl is about fifteen and
then tied up to form a catagan braid.
The front hair can be simply banged,
curled or combed plainly back.

A Valuable Horse.

Captain Jones is well to do resident OF
New Jersey. His rural home is within full
sight of that vast expanse of swamp which
is euphoneously known as the Hackensack
meadows.
Captain Jones is fond Of horses So is his
wife, and his wife's mother used to be fond
of horses, or at least she pretended to be,
but her opinion of equines at present it
would be difficult to learn, for we have no
reliable communication with that bourne
from which no traveller returns.
Captain jones' mother-in-law was killed
year or two ago by being thrown from the
back of horse belonging to her son-in-law
A few months after this Captain Jones
wife died. and ne at once advertised a sale
of his stock and household effects.
The horse that had killed his mother-in
law was not, put up foi sale, though there
were many men present who seemed eager
to buy that particular animal.
why won't you sell the animal, cap
rain?" asked a man whose mother-in-law
lived with him
Because" said the captain, with know
ing wink, II am thinking about marrying
again" ALFRED r. CALHOUN.

changes SO rapidly that, basques being
out, we must take those basques, which
really are but elongated waists after all,
and drape them around with sort of
sash in the Louis XIII style, or if it is
preferred we can make the skirt come
up on the outside of the waist, thus max
ing it round. In that case little sash
drapery is necessary.
One dressmaker, who makes for the
very brownest part of the upper crust of
society, has evolved what she calls the
available gown. The skirt is cut plain
gored and trimmed around the bottom
as suits the owner. It is desirable that
it should have some perpendicular trim
ming, which on the sides raises to
let the adjustable train button on and
hide the buttons after. The train is
trimmed in different manner from the
'front.' Under the train is a plain full
plated back of the same material, SO
that when the train is off the dress is
walking length. The train fastens just
between the shoulders, SO as to hang
Vatican fashion, and has little rosette,
under which are two stout hoops, which
fasten to strong eyelets.
The corsage is SO arranged that it can
be low or high in the neck, as one may
or may not remove the chiffon gimp.
If this plan were to be developed for
married lady, it would be better to have
the corsage of the same material as the
skirt and trimmed to correspond. Ad
Unstable trains have always had a useful
place in lady's toilet, and it seems to
me that this is a good plan to work by.
1t would require rather rich and stately
looking material to look well for this
costume.
With this gown a long wrap of shot
velvet or velours du nord or of brocade
would be suitable, but no jacket, coat
or short wrap. So taking it all around,
unless the lady has selection of velvet
or brocade wraps on hand to choose from,
it wouldn't be such an economy.
Pelerines of cloth bound with hand
some fur on each of their superposed
capes are very dressy and handsome, and
make rich and elegant wrap for any one
from grandmother down to little peach
blossom.
There are many varieties of the peler--
inc. One of the most popular is that
style worn by the young girl in the CEN
ter of the picture. The capes come down
to the waist line, and the collar and lap
els are of fur, while the rest Of the gar
ment is like an ordinary loose coat.
Some call these capelines and some pei
crimes, but they are equally warm and
stylish, called by either name.
During the past decade more attention
has been paid to suitable costumes for
girls from twelve to sixteen than ever
before. For plump little ones there are
hundreds Of different fancies, and for
older ones whose figures are developed
there is no end to the designs, but until
lately the growing girl was not provided
with raiment designed to hide her lack
of figure or to make the most of the
slender grace Of youth.

Kickapoo Indian sagwa is the grandest
remedy ofthe universe.
The simplicity OF its grandeur is the strong
est tie that binds it to the confidence OF the
people.
/ 1t is natures remedy!
Nature provides cure for every disease OF
every living creature.
Man in his wisdom can best understand
these remedies, and the Indians who have
been obliged to depend upon nature alone
for their curative helps, best understand
natures remedies.

Now there is every imaginable kind
of garments that are suitable for them.
The dress skirts have an arrangement of
trimming that abstracts the eye from I'M
due slimness, and the waist is draped in
loose folds, with deep rufi1es or berthes;
sashes, bows and full vest also are de-
voted to them. The Elton jacket is a
dainty and favorite style. The Figaro
jacket and the baby waist over guimpe
are pretty and often worn. Plaid, with
lapels of velvet, with foot bands or per-
pendicular trimming, are all suitable for
them for nice home or school gowns.

Stating the Case Plainly.

That "a friend in need is friend indeed
is saying that is true as it is trite. Char
ity should begin at home" is another max
i'm that has done good service as bit of
wisdom, though it is not always adhered
to in practice.
In every community, in every family in
deed, you will find two boys Numerically
opposite in character, and this difference
increases and becomes more pronounc ed
with the years. The one will prosper from
the first and gather in fortune under the
most adverse circumstances, and the other
will keep penniless and idle where the
least effort would achieve success.
Jake Noyes had been prudent boy, and
SO he became a thrifty man, and he had an
increasing bank account and wide repu
tation for meanness Tom Hardy was al
ways reckless, thoughtless and impecuni
GUS. He had been Jake Noyes' classmate
at the village school, but he ran away from
school in his teens, and after many years
showed up in his old home-broke, as
usual.
he sought out Jake Noyes and said:
"Jake, / am a little short today. ! want
you to give me dollar, not as a contribu
ton to charity, but as loan, which shall
pay off as soon as / receive an expected re-
mittance."
II should dearly love to do so, old fel
low,'' said Jake Noyes, while the red
trimmed eyes were moistened with tears of
regret, "but the fact is am short"
ssShort!'' responded Tom Hardy "What
are you givin me?'

only helpin folks in distress every day, but
I've got to do lots and lots of charity at
home. Thar's dad, who amt did stroke
of work for ten years. I've got to see to
him. And there's sister Sue, who's a wilder
with six kids, and I've got to hustle to see
that they don't suffer when the nights is
frosty and the storm clouds hang low on
the hills. Then allus chip in when the
missionary box for the little heathens is
passed round, and"-
Hold hard there, Jack Noyes!'' broke in
the vagrant sailor. "You needn't give me
the dollar if you don't want to, but there
amt no use in your standin up there and
tryin to stuff me with lot of lies"
Lies, Toni What do you mean?"
II mean just what I say, and nothin
more. You talk about helpin your father,
when to my certain knowledge he was
taken to the poorhouse ten years ago and
has been there ever since. And as for your
widowed sister and her six kids, why, the
county is takin care of them, and it's been
doin SO since her husband died. And you
ought to be ashamed that it is so, you
mean, stingy galoot, that hasn't the heart
to loan an old chum and schoolmate dol
lar"
AS calmly and joyously as if he had just
received g well deserved compliment Jake
Noyes looked up at the sailor and said:
"Quite true, Tom; quite true, old fellow
But can't you see that man who won't

can help praising it after giving it trial.
