A dainty fancy was presented in one

This was Of figured surah, the color be,

up to the bust line, all edges being
trimmed with a full frill of lace. There
was a fril1 at the back which became
a jabot down the front just half way
There the lace was carried around a
long square piece of the silk and left

SOME NEW COSTUMES.
HANDSOME CREPONS ARE STILL IN STYLE

NEW YORK, April 22.-To those
who thought that crepons were out
of style for at least another decade I
may say that there are still crepons,
and such lovely fancies in those pretty
goods that they are practically new.
There are printed crepOns where the
figure seems to have been printed on
the stuff before it was creped up, and
this gives the pattern a softness of
outline as pleasing as it is curious.
Then there are soft crepons in one
solid color. almost as soft as the
Japanese Grape Another kind has
sort of shot effect
1 saw one street dress made of this
latter kind of crepon, the body Of the
color being a soft pale heliotrope and
the folds giving a hint Of messy green
in them. This dress had a plainly gath
cred skirt which hung heavily from
the belt after the fashion Of crepon.
The waist was a single French one,
with a Swiss belt and collar of darker
purple surah. The sleeves were made
with one full puff reaching to the ell
bow, with a band of ribbon around
them there and a deep fall of the
same, shorter on the front than the
back of the arm. This crepon gown

thing to make it full outdoor cos

pale purple This putting extended
around the back for an enormous up

1t was naturally stiffened with wires.

LITTLE FEET.

Two little feet, SO small that both may nestle
In one caressing hand;
Two tender feet upon the untTied border
OF LIES mysterious land;
Those rose-whfte feet along the doubtful
future
Must bear a woman's load:
Alas Since woman has the heaviest burden
And walks the hardest road.
Love. for while, will make the path before
them
All dainty, smooth and fair;
VIII cut away the brambles, letting only
The roses blossom there;
But when the mothers watchful eyes are
shTou6ed
Away from sight OF men,
And these dear little feet are left without her
guiding,
Who shall direct them then?
Will they go stumbling biindly in the dark
ness
OF sorrows fearful shades?
Or find the upland slopes of peace and beauty.
Whose sunlight never fades
Oh, who may read the future? For this
sweetheart small
We want all blessings sweet
And pray that He who feeds the CRYING ravens
VIII guide the baby's feet.

about eight inches from point to point cross
ing and recrossing to form an exact square,
leaving a border about fourteen inches clear

was made by fastening the vine at regular
intervals with minute safety pins to one side
Of the cloth and carefully keeping true dag

ner of an old latticed window. Through ii
marguerites, full-blown flowers and many
