 A charming model has chiffon sleeves and gimp and bloused front embroidered with seed pearls. Narrow chiffon ruches are set in curves around the front of the skirt and below the gimp on the waist, while fiounces of chiffon fall over the arm. The waist is encircled by folded bias band of white satin.
 Another gown, more simply made, also has gimp and sleeves of white chiffon. There is no other decoration save few rows of seed pearls placed horizontally across the bodice and per pendicularly on the front of the skirt. As in the other gown, folded belt of white satin finishes the waist. In both cases the neck Is very high and the sleeve very long. Very short gloves are worn, and yeils that cover almost the entire length.

CHILDREN's COACH PARADE.
A Jolly Way to Wind Up a Sum-
 mevs Vacation.
What the Children of Rich Parenta VIII Do-Those of Less Preten- sious Families Chm Have Good
 Time the Same Way.
ICopyright. 1Ss7.l

There have been a great many coach ing parties since folks began to go away every summer for their children's health. Most of these, however, have been enjoyed by the grown-up set; and it is only of late that the younger mem bers of the family have been permitted to initiate their elders in this form of amusement.
 Last summer the Newport season closed with most elaborate children's coaching parade, and preparations are of this season. The Ogden Mills chill dren, who are among the swellest young people in Newport, have .. brand new tally-ho, which is much larger than the one they had last year--in fact, the old one was really a drag, but this time they have the real thing. This will be sure to take a prominent place in the September parade. In many of the mountain resorts similar pageants are to take place, and the most elaborate decorations will be used to make the chariots, charioteers and their gallant steeds glow with splendor and mag nifcence. All this will be very fine, and no doubt both parents and their youth full charioteers will get a great deal of satisfaction from it,
 But just because they haven't the millions of Vanderbilt or Gould, the children of less pretentious families need not go aabegging for amusement of this very kind. To be sure, there may not be any Shetland ponies in the procession, and the carriages may not wear coats-of-arms nor the harness be gold-mounted; but that does not pre- vent the poorest child from getting q great deal of fun out of mock coach- ing parade of the most primitive char acter.
 At any rate, that is what some enter prising young folks at a certain not very we'll known mountain resort re- gently did, much to the amusement of their elders who had not long before indulged in a coaching parade on a larger scale. The only steed that could

be mustered was mildreyed goat, and the only chariot, the goat wagon and several toy express carts. These were so small that the older children decided to dress up the younger ones as chariot eers while they themselves walked be- hind in solemn procession. They chose the youngest member of the group for queen, and fairly smothered her with flowers and ribbons. She took the seat of honor in the goat wagon, while others walked at the side holding rib bons tied to the horns of the prancing charger.
 Indeed, the goat came in for as much decoration as the children, and took it all in the same solemn, dignified silence with which these creatures munch tin cans and paper bags from the top of an ash heap, though the poor beast did ob- ject when some one tied up it's whiskers in "baby" ribbons.
 The children got their ideas of dec orating the wheels of the wagon from a bicycle parade which they had seen, only instead of using ribbons they took strips of the bunting which had been a part of the decoration of the old folks parade, and wound it in and out be- tween the spol1es, sticking in a spray of flowers here and there. There were flags leftover from the Fourth of July, and all the other places were filled with flowers and foliage.
 The little water spaniel could not be trained to pull an express wagon with any sort of dignity, so several of the children volunteered to be "horses" for the small carts that were to be in the procession.
 One of the boys who happened to be both ingenious and good natured, ar ranged canopy of bunting over one cart by means of a couple of barrel hoops. The hoops were cut and fastened one in the front and the other at the back of the wagon, forming frame over which the bunting was stretched and tackled down at each side. It was a very wee maiden that rode in this "car- riage," and as she had glossy curls as black as night and coal black eyes, she looked like veritable little gypsy queen.
 All the children wore wreaths ot flowers and pretty leaves on their heads 1 and twined about their waists. The lit tie ones endured the pulling and twist. ing of their older brothers and sisters with the greatest good nature; the old CT ones enjoyed it because it was a new game, in which they could have every. thing their own way; and the grown-uT members of the summer party were greatly amused at the whole spectacle as well as relieved to see all their troublesome char ges engaged together in safe and harmless game that was played before their very eyes.
 There is no end Of the fun to be had In this way for young folks who have

 The craze that takes possession of some peculiarly-constructed minds to laboriously endeavor to write the great est number of words in the smallest possible space, is responsible for one of the most remarkable instances of microscopical writing on record. Sev- eral expert penmen, with the aid of magnifying glass and needle-pointed pen, have succeeded in writing the Lords Prayer in an almost incredibly small space.
 Their greatest, or rather, their small est achievements. have been outdone, however, by an eccentric individual uaIned Richard Webb, of London, who. after years of painstaking effort, has succeeded in writing with diamond on section of glass one-fiftieth part Of an inch in length by the hundredth part of m inch in breadth the whole of the Lords Prayer.
 To get some idea of the space upon which this astonishing feat has been accomplished, a simple comparison can be made. The space upon which the diamond cut the prayer is about four times the size of the dot over the let- ter "i' in common print, or, to mako another comparison, about the size of the head of a pin.
 The cutting was not done by hand, that being an impossibility, according to MT. Webb. When he made up his mind to beat the worlds record for fine writing this gentleman set his invent i've genius to work to construct a machine that would make it possible to accomplish what the hand alone could not do. He worked for ten years with an energy and perseverance, worthy of better cause before he sue ceeded in perfecting the machine. As may be imagined, 1t is of the most delicate construction, and the wheeln are exquisitely graduated. The in- strument is worked by a handle shaped like an ordinary pen. and the writing is done by means of this in precisely the same manner as ordinary writing. When the operator moves the handle,

or pen, in the direction necessary to form the letter, the movement sets in operation a series of wheels of the smallest and most delicate construc- tion conceivable. The motion started by the hand, travelling along the tiny wheels, eventually reaches an arm at the end of which is the diamond, 10 finely pointed and 70 minute in itseH that it requires the aid of microscope to discover that there is any diamond there. The hand guides the pen handle ing within such marvelously small space that nothing can be seen with the unaided eye, even when as many an 50 words have been written, save for a few tiny scratches that might pass for a slight flaw in the glass When the microscope is turned on these scratches, however, it is seen that the writing is perfectly legible, every let- ter, dot, comma and period being plain- ly discernible. It is claimed that the entire 3,556,480 letters of the Bible could be written with the Webb ma chine four times over in the space of one square inch.
 When the announcement was made that Mir. Webb had succeeded in writ ing the Lords Prayer on so marvel ously small space there was much scoffing among London penmen, but the fact was speedily demonstrated to them by means of enlarged photo graphs of the diamond writing, in which every point of the wonderful caligraphy was brought out so as to be read with ease.
 The experts, therefore, are likely to lose their job.
 Anyone can operate the Webb ma chine who knows how to manipulate . pen, and microscopical writing on glass is possible to anyone who cares to take up the pastime. Of what use it is to the cause of science or any other cause, or what reward Mir. Webb expects to reap for his many years of patient la bor does not appear.
 MT. Webb is so confident that his ma chine will start craze for minute writing on glass that he is preparing to manufacture and place it on the market. Practical minds predict that purchases of the machine, even if it is sold as a toy, will be too limited in 1 number to make success from a fnan- cial point of view possible.

The modern underwaists for the small boy is quite different from those which the big brothers wore even year or | two ago. A straight waist was then considered very good-made of one piece of coutil, hemmed up at the bot tom and otherwise bound with tape There were no seams save those on the shoulders.
 I These waists are still worn to-day by children of bard-worling mothers, who consider that the best clothes are made at home. Under ordinary circum- stances, this is true. But underwaists are so important that they have re- ceiped careful attention from both phy- sicians and students of hygiene, and those made under their direction are particularly good.
 Yet it isn't absolutely necessary that the underwaist for the child should be made by professionals, for if the moth i CT is careful she can make them equally we'll
 | As every mother knows, when the garment is made of one straight piece of coutil, there is a strain from the sheul- i der to the waist. This can be prevented by stitching upon the garment inch wide strips of the material-having them run as often as possible over the bias of the waist.
 Another improvement discards the buttons around the waist. on which the trousers were fastened. Instead, small tabs of muslin, each with buttonhole worked into it, are stitched to the gar ment. They are on line just below the armhole. Short lengths of white cotton elastic, an inch in width, with buttons at each end, join tabs and trousers, and enable the youngster to stoop with a degree of comfort not experienced be- fore.
 It is we'll, also, to cut the waist quite short at the neck, fastening 1t on the shoulders with long straps formed of three thicknesses of the material firm ly stitched together.
