off, the reformer as anxiously as any. It
was too funny to keep, and though wom-

a chronicle of the fashions / could not
resist putting it in here.
These little girls, some 90 of them,
are the daughters of New York million
aires, and they have caught the fever
that is burning in the bluest veins of So
ciety, and took note not only Of their
chatter, but of their dress, for these
children are thoroughly well dressed,
and, better still, most sensibly So
The earnest speaker wore a tan col
ored challie, with small bouquets Of roses
scattered over it, with the new c. eney
shadowing Around the bottom or the
straight gathered skirt were two rows
of mordore velvet ribbon The waist
had a pointed velvet yoke, and TO that
the chsiiiiie was gathered. Across the
bust there were two rows of velvet rib
bon, and from under the arm on the left
side there was drawn q scarf made OF
half width of velvet lined with horen-
tine. This crossed to the right side and
ended in O heavy sash bow OF the vel
vet. The reformer had tan straw hat
of continental shape, topped with dark
brown tuft of ostrich tips, and short
cape Of mordore velvet, with flat lace
trimming. The lace was ecru point de

Among her audience were two little
girls who hung breathless upon her
words, and they looked quite ready to
begin the crusade. One of them had
slate gray frock of albatross cloth made
with plain skirt, with fold down the
front, to simulate 4 fastening. The
waist was gathered TO belt, and vel

the shoulders set TO initiate square
yoke, and above the upper one was n
fine beading made of the material, done
by hand This beading" is made by
taking bias strip of the dress material
and folding it so that the raw edges are
in the middle of the under side. This
should be basted so as TO keep it firm.
Then every thrce-quarters of an inch 1t
should be gathered across and the whole
width brought in as closely as it is pos
sible to pull it and fastened ON the I'M
der side. This leaves a succession of lit
tie puffs looking like string of beads,
and it is a really handsome trimming.
There is another trimming made much
in the same way, which resembles cookie
shells laid along, one touching the other.
1t is done by gathering the material in
littr,; punches, like the beading, but
when the trimming is sewed to the gown
each one is pushed forward so that it
forms a shell in shape, and the corners
are then tackled down
Another small soldier in the advanc-
ing line of female warriors wore an in
tensely feminine little frock made of
fawn colored crepon. The skirt was gor-
ed in such way as TO fit the waist and
extend up to under the arms, forming a
sort of corselet, which buttoned on the

of the waist was Of maize surah, gath
