For LITTLE ONES

Etantial materials are worn always ex-
cept for some festive occasion, when,
naturally, silks, muslins and other more
extravagant fabrics are used, though
sparingly.
The present mode in all the best Amer
lean homes is to keep all young people in
simple and comparatively inexpensive
attire until after the young lady has en-
tered upon her second season, and even
then the preference is toward such goods
as most properly adorn youth, like the
dainty wash goods in zephyrs and what
ever is the current mode, with tissue and
diaphanous muslins for dancing and the
lighter silks for dressing occasions.
The present outlook for early spring is
that there will be an unusual amount of
plaid worn for ordinary school or house
or run-about-street gowns. When the
plaids are made for children they will
have accessories, like yokes, girdles,
bands, etc, made of velvet, black or the
darkest shade in the plaid. Plaid alone
has not the proper finish for self trim
ming, and nothing will go with plaid of
any kind but velvet.
Among the odd but very taking fancies
for children is the use Of black satin for
q frock, with a guimpe and sash and
sometimes upper sleeve puff Of orange or
mandarin china silk. 1t is becoming to
both blends and brunettes, and the satin
when soiled can be wiped off with a
sponge dipped in water, which is great
desideratum with small children.
Cloaks for the little girls are not unlike
those of their mothers, but one of the
prettiest and most useful is presented
here. 1t was made of brown cheviot,
with double box plating of red ribbon
around the bottom and lower cape. The
upper cape was slashed and lined with
satin. The hat was large brown felt
trimmed with red feathers and ribbon
bows.
Another little cloak for smaller girl
was of white elder down flannel, with
flecks of golden brown scattered over it.
1t was Mother Hubbard shape, and the
cape to it was covered with white ostrich
tips, the ends of which were tipped with
brown. The hat was white beaver,
large, and simply overwhelmed with
brown tipped white plumes.
Several beautiful little bonnets for
small girls are made like Marie Stuart
colts, and they are bewitching over the
pretty faces. But the quaintest and
prettiest headgear for little toddlers is
the queer, old fashioned continuance
shown in the picture. The fall of lace
over the rosy faces is too cunning for
anything. / have seen three hats almost
like this among the new spring model
bonnets for ladies, though they are mar
rover at the back and puff out a little
on the sides, but reach the same high
point and have the same frill of lace
and big or little bow, according to cir
cumstances. These hats remind me of
some ancient picture have seen. They
look odd, but are certainly piquant and
attractive, and resemble in some vague
way the mob cap of our great-grand-
mothers.
In my pilgrimages to the shrines of
fashion I saw splendid walking cos

Many children are sweet and lovely,
but surely none is more so than those
of New York. One might think that in
a great city like this they would grow
forward or pert, or appear old beyond
their years, but they do not. All honor
to their mothers, who make study of
how to keep them real children, dressed
according to their age of playfulness and
abandon. They are not puppets, nor is
their dressing neglected, but it has
reached the point which we call elegant
simplicity.
Pretty little Hubbard frocks and plain,
short wasted dresses are seen in the
homes of the milhonaires on the young
daughters of the house, and dark, sub

COUPON LITIGATION.
Important Coupon Case to Come UP In the
Supreme Court of Appeals This Week.

The basement officers. with the Attor-
ney-General, the superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, and Hon. II. X. Pollard,
special counsel for the State in coupon
litigation, met the Governor at his office
Yesterday to discuss the financial affairs of
the State.
Among other matters which came up
was the suit now pending in the Court
of Appeals involving the question Of the
const;tutionality of the acts under which
bonds with tax-receiyable coupons were
issued. The gentlemen all think the
court will probably decide these acts-so
far as they relate to the issue of said cou-
pons-unconstitutiona and strongly
hope so, as such decision would at once
put a stop TO the tender of coupons. with
which some persons are still annoying the
State, involving. as it does, expensive It'll

recent act, of a small remnant of the old
securities still outstanding. thus fully and
finally settling the debt.
There are only about O million and o
quarter of bonds with tax-receivable cou-
pons attached outstanding. and IL is un-
derstood that the Governor will shortly Is
sue proclamation urging the people to
refrain from the use of coupons in tho
payment of taxes. IL they do this the
funding or these bonds will necessarily
follow.
