tiny tots are made OF Tatfetarand wash
silks usually; but liberty woods, crepe
de chine and light-colored cashmeres
are also used.
For a Christmas party of very small
children is a little gown of white china
silk, accordion plated, with little en-
pire over-bodice of white satin covered
with lace, dotted here and there with
silver spangles. Though not so uniVer'
sally employed as last season, there is
enough tinsel, even on children's
dresses, to make one glad, when the
bills come in, that all that glitters is
not gold.
A trifle more grown-up is frock of
white bengaline, trimmed with lace in
| sertion and puffs Of pink chiffon.
The handsomest coats for children
are made of ribbed and plain YelYets,
{ bengalines and corded silks. Next to
these come those of smooth-fnished
cloths, Venetian cloths and camel's
hair. Even for the smallest sizes OF
these garments, the circular fiounce Is
employed, just as for the richest of
long coats for women. For quite young
children pretty design has a skirt
and waist, with belt, sash and deep
collar covered with trimming.
For the Christmas gathering Of a
dancing class is a dress of bright red
net over red tal'eta. The skirt. Of a
length for a girl Of Il, is finished
atthe bottom with three narrow ruches
of the net and is circled higher up with
graduated rows of red satin ribbon,
The full blouse waist is cut square at
the neck and edged with more ruches.
The sleeves come to the elbows. There
is n sash Of broad red satin ribbon.

The musical trio, Lelliott, Busch &
Lelllott with the AL G.. Field Greater
Minstrels present a ,musical melange
that is entirely different from that
which patrons of the theatre are accus-
toned to. Although there is a touch
of comedy here and there, the music
produced Is the chief attraction of
their work.. No fake instruments are
used. They are thorough musicians
the trios in the violins, cornets and
bells denote their proficiency. They
play the most difficult compositions in
terspersed with the popular airs.
Their hand bell ringing is feature In
itself. One of them plays a trombone
solo, using his feet to manipulate the
slide. The press of other cities speaks
in very high terms of these talented
foreigners. They make their first
American appearance with the AL. G..

After the flames were eXtinguish-
ed the body of Harriet Fee was found

superb collection of pictures and tapes
tries owned by Mr.. Raymond was en-
tirely destroyed.
The fire was discovered by some one

men arrived they could not get into
the building, as the flames burst out in
such volume that the men were
driven back. Mr.. and Mrs Raymond
appeared at windows of the third story
front and Mrs. Underwood at second
story window.
The firemen ran a ladder to the upper
stories and William Doerr railway
conductor, volunteered to go up. Mrs.
Raymond and Mrs. Underwood could
be seen climbing cut of the windows
and the frcmen and the crowd begged
them to go back. Doerr was half way
up the ladder when Mrs. Underwood

him with her to the street.
