DRESSES FOR GIRLS.
FOR ALL AGES FROM FIFTEEN YEARS
TO TWO YEARS.

Large Girls Fashions Initiate Those For
Adults-Cashmere Much Worn by Some
Girls-Short Frocks For Tiny Children.
Little Girls Riding Habit.
The wooden frocks for girls wear this
spring initiate those to be worn by their
mothers both in fabric and in style.
Large girls of Is or thereabout have
church and street dresses of fancy chine
figured woods, of glace diagonal woods of
two colors shot together, of fine mix
lures of silk and wool or else of very
deeply puckered crepons. These are
made with round waists or with circular
basque attached. differing only from
those of their mammas in being hooked
up the back. Their skirts are shaped to
the hips by cores. and many will wear
double skirts.
Smaller girls of s to - years wear
>repon, challis or cashmere frocks, with
full straight skirt simply hemmed fall
ing half way to the shoe top, unless the
mother prefers the shorter French skirt,
just covering the knee, until the girl is
10 years old. A full belted waist. crossed
with four or five insertions or only three
rows outlining Il yoke, is liked for high
necked dresses that hook in the back.
For school dresses and country wear
in the summer these girls will have serv-
iceable dark navy blue dresses of flannel
sacking or serge, made with Il full waist
plated to high round yoke and rather
wide belt. Many rows of white wool

braid are parallel around the yoke belt,
high collar and on the close lower part
of sleeves that droop in puff from arm
hole to elbow The full, straight skirt
has deep hem, with rows of braid above
it, Sailor blouse suits of the cool look
ing blue flannel and the rather warm
red will also be worn.
There is to be return to cashmere
frocks for very small girls in light colors
and in dark shades. For baby girls of ?
to 4years these are made of pink or baby
blue cashmere, all in one piece. gathered
very full around the high neck and on
the shoulders: then shaped across in yoke
fashion by four small shirred tucks
drawn tightly half way down tlk arm
holes, the spaces between tucks overlaid
with baby ribbon Of black velvet. A
ruche around the neck is of the cash
mere in drawn tuckS. and the same fin
ish is at the wrist of bishop sleeves. For
girls from , to 6 years are other cashmere
frocks, with little short gathered waist
corded instead of belted, a finely tucked
yoke trimmed with deep epaulets en-
broidered in fine dots and scalloped
edges. Tan cashmere is wrought with
brown, nile green with white and red
or navy blue with white.
For these tiny girls many mothers use
washable dresses altogether, making
them of French nainsook. white swiss
muslin, with pin dots of color, dainty
corded dimities and zephyr ginghams of
very small patterns, The bingham dress
es for nursery and morning wear are in
stripes or checks of blue or pink with
white. They are made with a full skirt,
with five inch hem, gathered and corded
to a waist that is gathered the other side
of the cord, but plain at the top and
trimmed with double epaulet ruff1es,
one much deeper than the other and each
bOrdered with insertion. These epau-

money to buy gown. told him it was

was in it. His partner was there, and he
seemed to feel so sorry for inches an
old bachelor-and Albert didn't scold
much and actually gave me the money

And then you went and got the
gown"
"Well, no. l had changed my mind

cheap look-so | just went home to think
it over
But you never got that gown cheap

On Even Terms.

Two men sat down to a small table in
down town club few evenings since
for purpose. 1t was to decide who pos
sessed the greatest capacity for white
Wine Each had the reputation, which
he studiously sustained, of being able to
stand more fermented juice of the grape
than the others, and their criticisms of
each other had become SO unbearable
that interested persons determined by
opposing the boosters to end or mend
their talk. So grand match was ar.
ranged.
On the evening before the test a friend
of the elder contestant, who was prac-
teal joker, approached one of the wine
drinkers, and laying one hand cOnfiding-
ly on his shoulder spoke thus:
Look here, old man, | speak as
friend. You've got Il reputation to sus.
tain tomorrow evening, and the other
fellow hasn't. Now, as IA friend, let me
insist that you accept the bottles of wine
which l. as judge of the contest, shall
prepare. They will be filled with water"
A sad look Of hopeless despair passed
over his face. To drink water. even
though he won, was inglorious: but tc
drink wine and perchance lose, that was
infinitely better. This decision resulted
in an argument that lasted half an hour,
and the wine drinker was then convinced.
On the eventful night the two men sat
down to the table, six bottles before
them. The younger man was quick to
the fray; the elder despaired when he
tasted the pure, unadulterated water.
But he mastered his tastes and drank
with Il conQuering smile.
When the sixth cork was drawn, each
contestant stared at the other. This was
wonderfully conducive to cheerful feel
ing, and so they promptly glared at one
another. That made them rampantly
joyous. Down came one pOnderous fist
on the table, and its owner, the elder
man, roared out: Fool, how can you
win? I'm drinking water"
A wan, sweet smile passed over the
face of the younger man as he family
murmured, 80 am I."-Philadelphia
Press.

ton is from Harper's Bazaar.
A fashion writer in a foreign exchange
gives an illustrated description of a
school frock and spring coat that will
commend themselves to many mothers.
The frock hangs loosely from a yoke,
tucked and feather stitched in silk, and
outlined with two gathered pufhngs. and
adorned over the shoulders with frilled
epaulets, also feather stitched in silk,
and this you may get in almost any color
The capital coat is made of a brown hop
sack, with a collar-and a very well cut
collar it is--trimmed with three rows of
brown satin ribbon, effectively crossed
at the corners.
A common sense riding habit for lit
