The Weapon of Silence.

Of course the tongue is a weapon, but
not SO sharp as silence A woman who
can hold her tongue can hold any other
thing, but one who wears her baart on
her sleeve will let all other things slip
through her fingers. Silence is self
preservation at every point. Too often a
-eady, sharp tongue is fatal gift to a
woman, and men fear it, for it finds
out the rawest spots in their natures
and wounds them there. As for a bad
tongue, it is whetted on bad heart,
and women who willingly say words
crueler than blows have the weapon of
an assassin.

Effectiveness of children Most deplorable
of all, however, are clothes that impede
the freedom of movement. This is a
point that cannot be too seriously con-
sidered. 1t is quite depressing to see a
little child so dressed that she cannot
run and jump. The first essential in the
child's costume should be its ease. And
a curious Indifference to the advantages
of civilization is shown when the lace
or sill1en drapery, tight collar Or intru
sive belt stand in the way of a good
skip
The REFER jacket and plain serge
skirt SO popular this season is one Of
the best possible styles for children, es-
pecially when completed by one of the
popular blouse shirts with rundown col
lars and bows. But even in the case Of
the skirt and coat style individual ap-
propriateness ought to have hearing,
for this style is more especially suited
to children who are thin. For those SHhc
are stout the loose dress with the yoke
may be adopted with complete success,
while those who are awkward in their
movements should be carefully dressed
in blouse made in the old fashioned
style, with three box plaits from neck
to hem, neatly belted round the hips
with a leather or suede belt This style,
of course, when all made in one piece,
is only suitable up to the age Of Z, but
the jacket bodice, cut on the same lines,
worn with plain skirt, may be induced
to do service until childhood merges in
to young womanhood.
For dress occasions simple designs are
readily made ornate by dressy sleeve
and the application of extra trimming.
In illustration may be cited costume
in fine wooden material, with a bodice
fashioned with short crosscut basque.
The rundown collar opens in front
over vest trimmed with bands of en-
broidery. The double pulled sleeves are
also divided with an embroidered band,
and collar and skirt are similarly
adorned.
For little boys not yet in trousers the
three piece suit of jacket, underblouse
and skirt is simple, convenient and
comfortable. This model may be made
entirely of cheviot, or the skirt and I'M
derblouse may be in flannel For dressy
occasions silk may be employed.
In New York many little girls still
wear the guimpe dress. This consists of
tight fitting bodice, cut square back
and front, reaching to the waist, onto
which the full skirt is gathered, while
the guimpe, which is often white, is
made with full sleeves gathered into
tight cuffs. The bodices are trimmed in
various ways, sometimes bearing braces
of ribbon to tie on the shoulders, at
other times giving evidence of the in

English Fruit Pie.

When it is desired to make a fruit
pie, by all means adopt the English
fashion of an abundance of fruit and
very little pastry.
For such pies deep dish, filled to
the brim with fruit and with no lower
crust, is the ideal. 1t far surpasses the
usual plan of a thin layer of apples, ber-
ries or other fruit between two crusts.
This, by the way, is not accepted in
England as pie, but is called a tart,
no matter what it's circumference may
measure.

GOOD FOR VERMONT.

Vermont spoke with no uncertain
voice yesterday in condemnation of thu
Cleveland administration of ruin and
disaster by giving Republican major
ity without parallel in the history of the
State. All the State officers, a solid Re-
publican Senate. an overwhelming Re-
publican House and two Republican
congressman are the net results of
yesterdays battle at the polls.
Returns from nearly every town show
an increase in the Republican vote and
corresponding decrease in the Demo-
cratic vote for Governor over the vote
in 1892. Many towns, especially manu-
featuring places, show largely in
increased Republican vote and marked
falling off in the Democratic vote.
