There is everything, says the New York
times and almost anything to be found
in the blouse waist. The everything is
always pretty or stylish in one way or an
other, and the anything is often pretty
and generally passable 1t is much cheap
er TO buy one of these waists than to
make it, and unless irst-class modiste
or tailor is employed the style is inva-
riably better
The mark of one excellent make of
waists is the tiny box plaits in the front.
which begin at the neck, one or two run
ming into the shoulder seams. These give
the fullness in place Of the yoke of fine
side tucks which are more often seen. The
! back has a rather deep, plain yoke, with
three box plaits below fitting snugly into
the figure.
These waists come in velvet. silk and
French flannel. A fianel waist is infin-
itely more serviceable and while it is
not as dressy, is quite as stylish in an ar
| ticle we'll made and of good material as
the more expensive stuffs Black polka
dots on red make an extremely pretty and
stylish waist. In the flannel waist costs
something like 81 or S, and in the velvet
81 or IS. Other styles in velvet waists
with the tucked yoke are less than s..

In black silk and black satin.
Plaid waists of all descriptions are to
be found, the velvet waists costing $40 and
SIS and those in silk varying in price A
handsome waist is Of silk, bright green
and black, having something of a check
ed effect. There are also @9ists of blue
in varying shades, some dark navy blue
and others of the bright, dark blue, which

the most character and is more stylish.
A well-known modern English writer
says: THE small boy lives under the most
calling despOtism that exists on the face
of the earth There is no court of ap-
peals for him, his father is at once his
! judge, his opposing counsel his public
| prosecutor, as it were, his jailor and his
! executioner. Natural affection is the only
protection for the child, and in some in
stances this is conspicuous by its alb
sence. Then. besides, there are nurses,
| governesses, masters, all more or less
/ tyrants by nature, under whose dominion
many children suffer more than one
would believe possible, and many a ten
! der-hearted parent is amazed and shocked
in after years to hear to what torture he
has unwittingly exposed a child's sensitive
nature"
MANY a child" another famous writer
asserts. lis made a liar by harsh deal
ing and an invalid for life by the harden
| ing process so dear TO the hearts of many
fathers, mothers and governesses."
Parents, as a rule, have an Incompetent
! sible confidence in those whom they en-
! ploy, and actually resent hearing any
! thing TO their disadvantage-real taking
part, as it We're, against their own chill
dren. A doctors wife. who knew how del
| icate are the vertebrate of an infant, and
who had seen maid drop a baby's car
| riage step by step into the area Of house,
| in Fifth avenue, each jolt shaking the
| child's head and back most painfully, felt
it her duty 10 call upon the mother, a fash
| ionable woman, with whom she was not
acquainted, and tell her what she knew
/ was a most dangerous and daily occur
| renee. To her surprise and Indignation,
| her visit was treated as an imDertinence;
! but when the baby died from a cerebro-
spinal trouble a few weeks later, she felt
herself more than justified.
| Children suffer more than is ever dream
| ed of by those about them, for one of the
most dangerous charac teristics of chill
/ dren is reticence. AS a rule, they endure
| in silence and seldom complain even to
! the tenderest of mothers, of any tyranny
or neglect on the part of their nurses.
