The Savagery of Woman.

In spite of all the efforts that have
been made in the interests of common
sense and common humanity, there ap-
pears to be no doubt that the savage
and indiscriminate slaue liter of all
birds of bright plumage Is still going
on for the qualification of feminine
variety, says the New York Evening
Post. Indeed, the position OF the un.
fortunate birds possessing the fatal
gift OF beauty seems to be worse than
ever. There was sold the other day in
London q consignment OF nearly 500,-
600 birds, or parts of birds, as follows
Osprey plumes, IL $50 ounces; vulture
plumes, 1S6 pounds; peacock feathers,
215, 051 bundles; birds of paradise, 1852
bundles; Indian parrots, DDS, 2S9 bum
dies; bronze pigeons, including the
goura, 1917 bundles; tsnnagers and
sundry birds, 3S, I9s bundles; humming
birds, 116, 400 bundles; jays and king
fishers, 4S, 759 bundles; impeyan ard
other Jungle fowl, 1852 bundles; owls
and hawks. 1893 bundles. In one of
the most widely circulated English pa
pers the fashionable news from Paris
begins: "Birds are worn more than
ever, and blouses made entirely of
feathers are coming into fashion"
Rare tropical feathers" ordered by
specialists from abroad, are specified as
those most likely to be in demand, but
no bird OF any kind is safe that has a
feather capable of being used for fem
mime decoration

The Little Girls Wardrobe.

Shirt waists are now part of every
little girls wardrobe, says Harper
Bazaar, and certainly they look much
better on children than they do on old
err women, who have the shirt-wsist
habit to an alarming extent. 1t is a
mistake to have too elaborate shirt
waists for children. The prettiest are
really very simple and look beat worn
with q ribbon around the throat in
stead of collar. A collar is stiff and
old.
The prettiest model has a little full
ness on the shoulders drawn down into
the belt, q yoke at the back, and me-
dium-sized sleeves finished with q mar
row cuff to be fastened with link but
tons. The front is fastened with little
pearl buttons, not studs. These shirts
are worn with linen, pique or serge
skirts, and the best belt to buy for a
child is ribbon of some dark color to
90 twice around the waist and tie in
front with q bow. The soft Windsor
ties look better around the neck than
should be put twice around
and tied in front in a sailor knot or q
bow knot, whichever is the most be-
coming.
Blue and while, or pink and white,
or some bright color Is the best to
choose. The plsids and the dark ging-
hams are too heavy, and are rarely
becoming. There are some pretty,
little waists in Madras, made like
those for order women, but are just a
trifie old. Plain lines and simple
effects are so much more childish that
il is best to keep to them.
Powered muslins are very pretty for
children, and this year are made up in
q great many pretty ways. The more
fanciful the better seems to be the
rule, and as they are only worn for af-
ternoon or ,some particular occasion
they can of course be made elabora-
tely.

flowers, is made with.a pleated skirt,

Rag Carpet Parties.

The rag csrget, after many years,
has returned. 1t Is once again fairly
popular, and the rags that for q quar-
ter of q century have been going to the
rag man are now being treasured up,
since, If they are of wool. they are al
most worth their weight in gold. Why
the rag carpet ever did go out OF style
ishard to determine, and its reappear-
ance in society is not difficult to under
stand. Properly put together and
made of q good assortment of rags, 1t
is exceedingly pretty, and withsl easy
to manufacture, all the 'knack needed
being the skill necessary to cut the
rags into strips, sew these together in
lengths and wind them into ball. For
a small sum the rag carpet weaver does
the rest.
Bathroom and study rugs are the
chief uses OF the rag carpet of today.
1t Is not so much the rag carpets, in
fact, as it is rag carpet rugs. The rag
carpet rug Is not large, as a rule. Six
feet by three would be quite an extra
ordinary size. The idea is to have
quite q number of them, and these
much smaller.
They clean easily and wear like iron.
These facts especially commend them.
Then, too, there is much socisbility in
their making. a rag carpet party is q
jovial event, and q function" that
long neglected. lis coming in again once
more. The girls meet of an afternoon
and sew rags until 5 or $50. Then the
men, especially asked for this hour, be-
gin to drift in, and there is afternoon
tea. 1t is the undermining of the old
time Sewing bee," and it works mar
velous we'll as an amusement.-New

The Best Sort of Charity.

Little leaden-colored buildings, fami-
liar edifices for several summers past,
have again been placed in New York e
various public parks for the sale OF
Pasteurized milk. The full compile

parks and other public places. The
sale of sterilized, Pasteurized or modi-
fed milk, the product being known I'M
der these various names, YVES inaugur-
ated several years ago by Nathan
Straus. The service has been constant
ly extended until now the depOts are
scattered over the more populous parts
of the city, from the Battery to Central
park. The booths in a majority of the
parks are open from 8 o'clock in the
morning until O'Clock at night, and
for a half day Sunday. In Central
park the sale is continued all day on
Sundays and holidays. On the recrea-
ton piers the milk may be Obtained
from o'clock in the morning until IL
O'Clock at night, and also during the
same hours on Sunday, which naturally
is one of the days when the piers are
utilized most by those for whom the
charitable service was primarily in.

the hot day sales average between

OF the same over the shoulders, also
edged with lace, and a pretty guimpe
of lace and embroidery. There Is q
narrow ribbon belt to be worn with
this, and on either side of the bertha
in front are knots of ribbon, yellow and
white, with long ends which hang
down over the skirt. A pretty frock
in pale blue muslin, has gstrips of in
sertion lain in zigzag pattern all
around the skirt-two rows of it. The
waist is high-necked, made with the
same style of trimming as the skirt,
and has high collar edged with lace.
The sleeves only come to the elbow,
and are finished with ruffie edged with
lace. The sash is of white ribbon,
quite narrow, and has ends both in

muslins are used. Dark blue with

tive, and there are also the plain col

The Bondage of Clothes.

One of the speakers at the recent
Mothers Congress protested against
the abuse of children by tho most we'll
meaning mothers, He spoke against
the practice of sending little babies
out in carriages all of whose fittings
were Of dazzling white, and urged his
hearers to reflect for q momen: how
they suffer in q snow landscape with
the sun shining brightly on 1t. The
speaker might have gone on and told
OF numerous other ways In which
mothers sacrifice the comfort of their
children on picturesque or conventional
principles. The little MILDLY suits, for
example, in which the small boys are
exceedingly effective, are anything but
comfortable for the sturdy legs which
they envelop. 1t Is almost rs hard to
run in the wide Tapping trousers as In
skirts, and more than one high-spirit-
