 used some bits of pasteboard besides these materials and some bits of flannel, but had the flannel and got the paste board out of discarded paper boxes. Tho diagram will show how l cut the ere tonne, the Irlsteboard and The flannel Besides the pieces shown, l used for the center of the bag a strip of CretOnne l. yards long and 10 inches wide. Then covered the three pieces of pasteboard with cretOnne. Then l used two of them as the foundation of the main recepta- cle of the darn;ng bag, shirring he long strip of crutonne and attaching it to the covered pieces of pastoboard as shown ill the cut. Then I male a smaller re- ccptaclc .0r pocket by shirring the 12 by 2 inch pilCe of CrctIlzhe to the outside of one of the two pieces of pasteboard. running through the little bag piece of elastic i'll order to draw the opening shut The third piece of pasteboard was uSed. with the one on the side of the main ba-, opposite the pocket, to form q ncedlcboOk, as shown. Tho bits of fan ucI were used aS leaves to the needle book l used three leaves, but of course you nlav use as many as you like. The rings 1 fastened to the mouth of the large bag, running the ribbon through them. in order to hang the whole from q hook fastened in the door of a closet. If you wish to, you may fit up this bag with AhOe buttons, alarming thread, needles, etc, at q total cost of from 12 to 50 cents, according as you have more or less money to spend and the bargain sales i'll your vicinity. If you want to use silk or satin in place of the cretonne and embrOider the bag, tho bag may cost as much as you like. of course. Another very effective and pretty gift. which will cost little more than the | bag, is a chatclaine for scissors. For this you will need l6 brass rings. each an inch in diameter. l |, yards of inch wide satin ribbon. four skeins of twisted em- broidcry silk and the scissors. The cost to me of each of the four l have made lately was:
 l i- l SclSSoT~- 4l ! Total 4c ! You may not want to buy such cheap scissors. but I was very lucky in my ! cheap oncs. For B cents you can get very good ones, with a fine temper. that 1 will hold an edge indefinitely and long after the ribbon has worn out. I have placed one of tho four chatelaines made in the guest chamber in my house, where 1t Is an ornamental object, swing ing from q little hook i'll the wall. Such chatclaines are very pretty gifts ard are very convenient at those gatherings of ladies where there is little sewing, a lit,le innocent gossip and a little tea drinking Sometimes the wearer will
 add a necdlcbook, q thiInble case and
 an emery bag to the chatelaine, and
 then she is well accustomed to grapplc
 with the work of tho sewing circle.
 It seems 10 me that any one might
 master the method of making this pretty
 thing from the cut, but here are de

that there is no convenient way of fastening
them, except in the back, unless the front
be draped in such way as to conceal the
closing
1t is certain that the style will never be-
come vulgariZed, at any rate, and it is now
rather exclusive, so much SO that it can be
said to never go really out of fashion any
more than fine lace or low cut evening bod
ices become obsolete. The two piece cos
tune has the advantage of allowing more
variety in the wardrobe, since the skirt may
be used with different corsages, especially if
1t be black, and it is thus more economical
Moreover, an ordinary dressmaker will
make II success of it where she would make
failure of a princess gown. When the
latter fits well, however, it is an ideal gar
ment, rs it leaves the long lines of the fig
ure unbroken. and the bodice is kept in per-
feet position by the weight of the skirt.
Two or three models of street gowns are
shown in this style, with draped front
tapping over and fastening ut one side In
one case the front OF the corsage is plain
and closes in the middle by an invisible
fastening Of hooks and eyes, hut this plan
could be followed successfully only by an
experienced and first class modiste. \
sketch is given of Il full dress toilet cut
in the princess fashion. 1t is made of vio-
let satin, with brocaded figures in green.
1t has n round train and closes in front I'M
der Il full tablicr of lace, which falls to the
bottom of the skirt, where it, is caught up
on each side by Il flowerde-luce made of Law
ender velvet. y lace founce continues
from these points toward the back, becom-
ing narrower rs ii approaches the train.

ty dresses and tea gowns for "prownrp
ladies'" as children say, but are especially
suitable for little girls and misses attire
being simple. dainty and inexpensive Mar.
row ribbon bands, so much used as trim
ming OF late, are Il particularly appropriate
decoration, the color Of the ribbon being
chosen to match that of the figure on the
goods This gnrniturc is even prcttier than
lace for children : frocks, being less quickly
defaced.
Cashmere, flannel, thin French serge
chhllie and for exceptional occasions china
SILK are the richest materials that should
be used for little girls gowns. There is
no danger that she will not look daintilv
well dressed if her wardrobe is carefully
selected and well made. Let money be nut
into the fitting and finishing rather than
into the stuff itself. Planned and figured
white nainsook dresses trimmed with Il
modest amount of fine valencicnnes lace or
delicate embroidery are infinitely prefera-
bic to silk frocks for little people, for main
SOCK is new every time it is washed, while
SILK Is old ut the second time of an active
child's wearing. The main thing TO be de-
sired is immaculatcness. Seven plain white
slips week are better and show Il more re-
fined taste than one satin one n month.
Keep the little girl Il child as long rs posi-
bic. Do not smother her youth in mature
materials and make her n mere doll She
can be little girl only Il little while mt
most. The time will come soon enough
when her personal attractions will have to
be supplantcd by fine clothing. While they
are sufficient in themselves do not eclipse
them with rich stuffs and elaborate styles.
"A sketch is given of dress for a girl
