1y by strictly holding to the requirements
of fashion. She should use her brains and
her taste and adopt only such styles as set
off her charms to the best advantage
There is a fancy now for sash belts tying
with double bow and long ends behind
These are only appropriate, of course, for
very young women.
A wo1nan's clothing should be wisely
chosen according to her age and should
be neither too young nor too old. Very
rich materials are always suggestive Of
ripe maturity and should be avoided by
women under middle age, as should very
costly lace.
The illustration given in today's issue
shows a carriage wrap of heavy black
surah 1t has pelerine richly embroidered
with jet and steel, and the wing sleeves
are also embroidered to match. The wrap
is close fitting at the back, with wat
teau plat, but is full in front and adorned
with thick black silk ends fastened by
paste buttons. The close sleeves are EN-
broidered at the wrists and the collar has
embroidered tabs. The wrap is lined with
mauve silk. JUDO CHoLLET.

YOUNG GIRLS COAT,


long to maturity, not to youth. For ordi-
nary wear English serge, diagonals, bures
and boucle or hairy goods are suitable.
The skirt should be long enough to pre-
vent an awkward look, but not of full
length, and should be plain in front and
at the hips unless it is full all around.
At the back, however, it should always be
full at the waist to give more bulk to the
figure.
While it is often well to have the bodice
close lifting at the back, it should be loose
and vague in front, gathered, plated or
having full ves5 or drapery of some sort
The sleeves also should not be tight, as
tightness accentuates the too great slen-
derness Of the arms Circular and hori-
zontal trimmings are especially appropri-
ate and becoming. The collar should be
high and straight, not flaring.
The bodice should never be tight In any
respect. The waistband should be of full
size, not constraining the figure at all, and
ample room for breathing and develop
ment should be left everywhere else the
figure of the future woman will be in
jured, as we'll as her health, and health is
a requisite of beauty. There is usually lit
tie need of increasing the slenderness of a
young girl by adventurous means, and she
should be left quite unhampercd.
The illustration shows a long coat for a
young girl. 1t is of amazon cloth and is
close fitting behind, while in front it is
straight and double breasted, fastening
with two rows of large pearl buttons.
This coat is cut so as to reach up over the
hips, the space being filed by hreadths of
the same goods, upon which the body of tho
coat is fastened down by rows of stitching
The revers and collar are faced with plaid
silk, and the sleeves have plaid silk cuffs

VARIOUS NOTES.
COlOrs In StatiOnery-JaclSets and Capes.
SeryiceabIe Cloth Gowns.


Among the fashionable shades of sta
tioneIy are light mauve, pale gray and
pale green. White and cream are always
in style If sealing wax is used, it is
chosen to match the paper. Often it is
frightened by flakes of sparkling metal
gold or silver, giving a pleasing effect
For light, fanciful gowns, in silver
gray, rose and other delicate tints, voile
crepe de chine, taffeta and fine cashmere
are employed, and they are trimmed very
attractively with white satin.
Jackets are worn of various lengths and
are additionally distinguished by different
styles of pockets, revers, buttons, applica-
tions of embroideries, braid and passe-
menterie Capes of cloth are also much
seen and are often made en- suite with the
costume Long coats are included in the
list of fashionable wraps and are worn
both loose and tight.
Cloth gowns are highly favored at pres
ent. In fact, well cut well trimmed

Sashes and Braids-How to Sponge Goods

Sashes and Braids-HOw to Sponge Goods
and Innings.
Black satin girdles and sashes are much
liked for young girls costumes. The ia
vorite sash is a wide black satin ribbon,
tied behind with long ends and no bows.
This sash is seen with light and bright
colored gowns. The renewed fashion for
fat trimming has brought braiding into
prominence again, and worsted and mo-
hair braids, in all widths and varieties, are
largely employed. They are mainly used
in black and white, although colors are
also employed. Blue, green, purple and
gray wooden costumes are trimmed with
black or white braid very effectively, usu-
ally in horizontal lines unless the braid is
formed into figures and motifs
Goods which are going to be made up into
serviceable gowns for general wear ought
always to be sponged first, as in that case
they do not shrink or spot with dampness
If they are not previously sponged, they
soon become defaced and lose their neat APP
pearance Material may be sponged at
home or at the shop where 1t is bought In
the latter case u small sum extra will be
charged, but the trouble of doing it oneself
will be avoided. Sponging is not an elab-
crate process. 1t consists of wiping the

YOUNG GIRLS.
How to ClOthe Them BEAUTIFULLY and
Comfortably.

NO1uIOrCaD1ys
The costuming of girls from 10 to IL
years old is nearly always difficult mat
ter. There are comparatively few who es-
cape the awkwardness of the awkward
age, " when they are leaving the domain of
childhood and are yet not young ladies, in
the social sense of the term. A girl who
is exceptionally SMALL slender or graceful
is of no trouble to herself or her friends,
but the average girl is all angles and joints
during the transitory time and drives her
mother and dressmaker to desperation by
her unadaptability. Growing tall before
she fills out, she is all long, straight lines
and does not know how to manage her
suddenly acquired height, especially as she
usually retains her tastes for childish
amusements and untrammeled movement
1t is highly undesirable to clothe a
young girl in rich materials, as they be-

WINTER FASHIONS.
Kid Shoes to Match the COstume--span-
Rled Gauze Trimming.


Flat trimmings. such as braid and gal
loon, are coming in for a great share of
fashionable favor perhaps as a revulsion
from the frilis and furbelows so much
worn for many months From simple mo-
hair bands to the most elaborate embroid-
cries the choice ranges, and these flat
strips of decoration are arranged SO as to
form all sorts of square, curved and point

Black Surah.
The bolero, which still maintains favor
IN spite of it's excessive use, is a feature Of
many of the latest gowns and has much
success owing to the facilities it offers Of
affording variety to costumes. With this
little garment different bodice fronts are
worn at will A blouse of silk, chemi-
setto of lace, plated gauze, a pulled
plastron, a cut of cloth, embroidery or
spangled goods-an these and more may be
employed and will give the same gown an
aspect of novelty and freshness.
A woman should never blindly follow
the lead of fashion, but should consider
which of the several modes which prevail
at the same time is most becoming to her
and should select that, leaving the others
alone. 1t is possible for woman to dress
herself very unsuitably and inappropriate

KNITTING WORK

full Things to Wear.
Knitting is an old fashioned accom-
plishment and has gone out Of vogue since
the introduction of machine made stock
ings, yet it is a pretty and feminine oc-
cupation, as well as useful one, and the
modern young lady fond of fancy work
and having plenty of time to devote to it
might well learn the mysteries of casting
on, scanning, narrowing and binding off
Plain knitting, to and fro, or garter stitch,
Is not entirely foreign to damsels of the
present day, for afghans and carriage
robes are sometimes made in that way,
but more complicated knitting work, such
as stockings and mittens, is quite beyond
their powers.
This would not be of much consequence
If stockings and mittens had gone out of
fashion, but they have not. Everybody
wears stockings, and in the northern
states everybody wears mittens in the win
ter Silk stockings and silk mittens are
highly desirable things, therefore, and the
woman who can knit them is at pre-

Taking improvements.

THE BEACON is making a strenuous eff.
fort to improve its condition in it's old
age, and a Campbell cylinder press has
been set up in its Office, but we wish to
make the candid admission that it has
not been paid for, In order TO do this
in due time, we are dependent upon
those who are indebted to us in sums Of
one, two and three dollars which can be
easily paid by the many, and which III
the lump sum will make us happy. In
this instance there must be a long pull,
a strong pull and a pull altogether il We
can expect to accomplish anything and
we hope our friends will appreciate the
situation and pay up promptly All the
|postmasters in the county are author
lied to receipt for us il they are so die
posed, not only for sums from old
subscribers but also from new ones.
