rome mothers who admire that manner OF
dressing their little ones shall give de-
scription OF them. One dress was brown
camel's hair. the new Chocolate shade, with
black reflects IN Il. The dress Is cut prin-
cess shape, and the skirt has no foot trim
ming, but there Is ripple collar Of corinth
velvet reaching around the shoulders and
20 the waist line, where 1t ends under
windmill bow, and there are two reyers Mt
the bottom. The leg o. mutton sleeves
have cuffs OF the velvet. There is choco-
late brown felt hat with corinth red bows.
In the back OF the skirt, there is an arrange
ment OF the velvet Just like that on the
front.
The other little frock was Of changcable
silk, pink and green predominatipg The
skirt was plain, with four rows OF the mar
rowest width Of black velvet ribbon. There
is a tiny figaro Of emerald green velvet and
draped sash Of the same, over full vest
Of white china silk. The sleeves have three
ruffles for caps. The hat is Of green felt,
with old rose loops and bows.
The majority Of the styles for quite little
folks are based upon the Greenway modes
90 prevalent and so pretty. The little
dresses are made with almost no waists at
all. Not oil are made that way, but the
most are. Some have real waists, plated
or full, or are set over guimpes OF various
kinds. mostly muslin or silk. For home

Is used for the entire dress. This is often
worn over n slip Of pale blue or pink
silk or sateen. For street, cashmere, fine
shepherds plaid or camels hair or surah
or pongee are employed 10 make the quaint
little frocks-ir fact, the children can wear
almost all the materials their mothers do.
The cloaks for small girls come 10 the
tops of the boots, and they are often made
of plush or velvet and have bishop sleeves
and triple capes Mt the top. Cashmere, gar
net, brown, red or green In soft shades, are
all suitable colors for little cloaks, and so
are the more delicate of the grays. Blue is
rarely seen. Nothing can be richer than
ruby plush coat, and If made at home 1t Is
not very expensive.

the evolution Of the modern fast limited ex-
press of luxurious parlor, dining and sleep

not difficult TO imagine that in the days be-
fore any man had power or wealth enough

O means Of easing the journey OF some
wounded or weakly cOmrade.
Naturally the next application OF the
idea would be to the bearing of other than
human burdens where the strength Of more
than one man could be taken advantage OF.
Then some man of power, influence or
wealth compelled, cajoled or hired bearers
to carry him about, and, 10! the palanquin
or sedan chair came into being With the
application of the first rude wheels it was
found that travelling was rendered easier
and more expeditions. and then it was dis
covered that animals might be substituted
for human motive power, and, behold the
first coach was an accomplished fact.
Since then the lines Of vehicular develop
