Yet the example of this style in my last pic
ture is not party gown unless silk mulls and
silk gauzes are used. Carried out in wash
goods and challies the dress is garden and
morning dress for the country. The effect is
maidenly and pretty. The slender arms the
smooth. girlisn neck and the simplicity of the
draping make one think OF wild roses and but
tercups whether there are any about or not
Slips of silk or of fine sateen are made for use
with these gowns. Now and then little gown
comes out OF grandmother's closet made in this
style. with the waist cut little short, and the
edge of the skirt at the ankles These quaint
old dresses show an old world and old-tlme
awkwaTdness that is just the prettiest
thing IN the world. The trouble is that the
sixteel-year-old daughter. whose youth has
just this shy suggestion of undeveloped graces.
Is the very one VINO thinks the gown fright, >"
and simply won't wear it. The only thing to
do is to make her one modified as To length and
waist and rejoice if she will don that. Pretty
observation-disclosures cloths come with sprigs
Of flowers scattered over a light ground. These
patterns especially suit the model suggested.
For the rest youth. health and contented
mind will make the girl picture.

Written Cor The Evening Sta.
The Giant and His Daughter.
There fell in love youth of yore-
Inlovc with giants daughter,
Whose sire in store had gold galore,
And an heiress fine folks thought her.
But away with scorn they all poor men drove,
Who dared with the maiden to fall in love,
And in honest wedlock sought her.
And III Jared Franz, though OF noble birth,
For he a moneyless wight was;
So he sailed away from his treless hearth,
To Il land where plenty OF fght WAS,
And plenty of gold for the young and bid,
II they didn't get shoveled beneath the mold.
many a valiant knight was.
He fought with the Paynim armies there,
In svery field victorious:
His fame rose like an eagle in air;
He won a name most glorious.
Great harvest of booty DER the sea,
With his sword reaped he, and speedily
He became for wealth notorious.
Then back sailed he to his fatherland,
No more like lover tender.
With his face SO tanned and his air SO grand,
man that nee made surrender
To any foe of his trusty sword.
He built castle, and, like lord,
He lived in honor and splendor.
One day, decked out in his garments best,
To visit him came the giant;
More humble now. it must be confessed,
And not, as before, defiant;
And mis- daughter, too, very fair to view,
Her former acquaintance to renew,
With heart quite soft and pian.
Said the giant, you've grown as big as L
You're one of us-lo! I've brought her,
The lady for whom You once did sigh
Before you went DER the water"
Quoth Franz. "rve brought bride with me,
Most bright of giee. from DER the sea-
I've no need, now, of your daughter"
In doleful dumps they went away,
And sorrow their hearts long stayed in;
The lady grew plain, her hair turned gray,
And the rose her cheek did fade in,
The giant lost gold, and decreased in size,
But taller the bold young knight did rise,
As more and more coin he laid in.

A Question of Tr2nsfers.

To the Editor OF The Evening s.a-:
viii you, through the columns Of your valu
able paper, kindly solve this riddle which has
been puzzling large circle Of your readers for
some time past:
Why are not passengers from the upper por-
ton Of city, near the 18th street cars, entitled
to . transfer to G street cars, Is well - from
Georgetown and other lines?
Visitors to Glenwood or lexington either
have to pay double fare or ride all the way
round by way Of avenue. change at 7th street,
then to lexington cara. We think they ought
to be entitled to same privilege a. the 18th and
Georgetown, especially - the latter and l4th
belong to same line.
