country with this end in view. Nearly all tho
gowns for very small girls arc made slightly low
at the neck. and short sleeves. These are usually
worn without guimpcs out Of doors rs well as
in, when the weather permits. Few children
look we'll in plain things. and their sleeves,
which are decidedly smaller, arc relieved by
capes and epaulettes or frills and embroidery
and lace.
Dancing dresses are made Of fine batisto and
organizes over colored silk. The white organizes
are more effective and becoming than the flow
cred ones, and n striking dress has q pointed
yoke, front and back, of cxquisitcly fine Valcn-

Perhaps 1t Is the inherited idea that children
should be seen and not heard, which leads my
lady Fashion to put SO much stress on their
clothing. The styles for the little folks this sea-
son contradict the theory that men and women
are only boys and girls grown tall, and lead one
to believe that children are big folks grown
short. Variety in styles and extravaganza

Tho drawers to match arc finished in
the same way. Drawers for tho tallest
of women arc not worn moro than twenty-five
inches in length. They fit closely about the
hips and are trimmed in every conceivable why.
Ono striking style Is slashed In finely tucked
square tabs. From underneath these hangs a
deep frill Of lace. Another like the model Is cut
in diamonds, which are edged with insertion
and finished with two frills of embroidery.
Some are rounded on tho knee and fin
ished with hugo bows. A decided nov
city Is trimmed with plain bands of
lace insertion and fine tucks all the
way round except over the knee; also a
heavy fall of deep plated lace is set In. Many
of the short skirts have lace insertion running
all the way round from tho waist to the bottom.
Sometimes it Is Bel in horizontally; again 1t
runs up and down. Long skirts are made very
wide and trimmed very fiutilly at the bottom.
Dimity underwear, in white, pink. light, and
dark blue and lilac, Is being much worn. 1t is
much betrimmcd with lace and the cOlors are
fast. 1t saves lining thin dresses and freshens
them up after being Numbered. These sets are
far cheaper than those made of silk and are
almosta as effective. The night gowns and long
skirts retail at $3.50 each, chomise at %. corset
covers at 81. and long skirts at $3.50. Under
garments of colored lawn can DO bought at any
large department store, but soap and water
turn them pale beyond recognition.
When a woman has to count the cost OF an un-
dergarment before buying, she should select
with an eye to tho quality of the material and
trimming rather than tho quantity. Very sheer
nainsook chemises. with a little fine trimming
on them arc obtainable for 81 and %, while very
dainty night dresses can be bought for from
$3.50 to %. OF course there are night dresses at

silks, and some Of these skirts are made with a
Spanish fiouncc. The yokes and shoulder caps
are usually made OF butter colored lace, though
some very pretty organizes have no imming
other than bands and ~rosettes of baby ribbon in
contrasting colors.
Outing suits for tho girl who Is half woman,
half child are made OF serge or plain cloth. Mill
tary gray, cadet blue, and various shades of
green are most used; The skirts are gored and
either an Elton Jacket, or loose-ftting coat is

models. Very little girls wear dark blue or
bright red serge suits, with extra full skirts and
waists, trimmed In rows of narrow braid.
In Jackets there are stunning little REFER

but some for the older girls half reveal. half con

While loose dresses are always picturesque on
little maidens, and are always worn by n great
many, the waist dress predominates In thin and
thick materials Just now. Cotton crepons In
delicate shadess ginghams, canvas cloths. and
dimities are the favorite materials for morning
wear. A charming costume for u four.year-old

Tho sleeves are very short and the gown Is worn
with or without n guimpe. Even eight-year-olds
wear morning dresses made In this style.

design. is made of plaid Scotch canvas. tho
predominating colors being linen and green.
The waist Is full and has u piece of white en-

Velvcts are now utilized by artistic hands for
table decorations. The beautiful mirror velvets
are SO delicatcly soft and come in such charm
ing tints that they make really a prcttier back
ground for flowers than silk. 4 spring dinner
table was decorated with silver gray velvet and
daffodils. The shimmering velvet was arranged
in graceful loose folds. The flower dishes were
Of glittering cut glass, and asparagus was min
glcd with the daffodils. Silver Candlesticks
and yellow shades were used. Other good rom
b%inations are pale straw-colorcd velvet, with
sprigs of the fragrant pink arbutus and white
china candlesticks and pink shades. and pale
blue velvet with white %jonquilS that have golden
eyes. Scarlet tulips and maidcn's hair, fern in

velvet, would look well grouped about IL silver

The country woman who has invented a

There seems to be still chance fo those flow members of our sex who coves tho right to sit in parliament. It ap- pears that, iil the views of some who ars qualified to form an opinion on such matters, tho supply of parliamentary candidates is decreasing, and the decline is likely to become still more serious aa those who are eligible for such service come to realize moro and moro the in- adequacy of tho reward which the life of an M. ?. offers, as compared with tho trouble and expense necessary to se. cure election.

Mrs. Avery Is Not Wealthy.

Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery, while at tending the recent executive meeting of the Woman's National Council in Bos- ton, was described by some of the papers as a woman worth $3, 500, GOO. A few years ago Mrs. Avery had abundant means and gave literally to the suffrage cause. A few years hence she is likely to have abundant means again and will then no doubt contribute with her usual generosity. But we have the best au- thority for saying that, through certain business complications, Mrs. Avery is at present the reverse of rich. The news. paper report about her millions, by which many women would have been flattered, has been cause of sorrow to her. as it has brought her many appli cations to which she is quite unable to respond.

PUBLIC EYTRAYAGANGE.

We cannot say that there is any lack of financial ability in the world. While many fail to accumulate any thing, and not few fail to keep what they have, there is a respect ful percentage who get and hold, and continue to get more. Taking the world at large, there is no doubt a good deal more on the credit side of the ledger than on the debtor. But while this is true of individuals it is by no means true of nations. There is not nation on the earth today in an easy financial condi- tion-scarcely one whose current expenses are not in excess of it's in- come. While wealth seems to be in- creasing, expenditures increase faster, and the demand for heavier taxation becomes more imperative. Those who are called to take charge of the finances of the government appear wanting il the skill that will confine the expenses within the income. The retrenchment which perhaps they know well how to practice in their own business they either forget or do not care to prac- tice in the management of the affairs of the. state.
 The blame is not, however, wholly chargeable on the individuals charg- ed with the administration. It has to be in large part placed upon the whole body of the people. While every one is ready to cry out that his own taxes are too heavy, not many are willing 10 help the government economize. Scarcely one can be found willing to set the example of working for the state at the same rate of compensation that he would for private individuals. Most of the people are ever ready
 
 to give their votes for measures that involve increased expenditures. When these things are so, it is no matter for wonder that the expenses of government outrun it's income, and that year by year there is de- mand for increased taxation.
 
 What will be the end? It seems probable that in less than another century general bankruptcy will be declared, and all the nations will wipe out and begin again. Such a contingency seems most imminent at the rate things are now going. But it could be very easily avoided if states in ntheir corporate capacities would only exercise the common sense in their money matters that is practiced by most individuals Ex.
