. fashion is ailottng to them much more
/ than their usual allowance Of novelties in
| dress. The latest is the little girls sun
/ comet says the New York Herald. and it
/ is conservative assertion to make that
/ every miniature woman Of society villa
have when she goes away for the summer,
| at least three OF four Of these snugly
/ packed away
A theory of hygiene IS behind these sun
/ bonnets. The average child loses her hat
or wears it on the back of her neck when
playing out of doors in summer continu-
ally. She thinks very little about the
sun, and does not mind its glare-not half
so much as her mother would-but for all
that scientists and doctors now say she
is injurihg her eyes materially by this very
exposure.
Now the sunbonnet cannot fall off. It
| is tied on tightly-"for keeps''-snd only in
the case of a very disobedient child or an
accident will it be anywhere after a morn
ing's play than the precise spot It was
/ placed on. Thus whatever she may do,
the child's eyes are kept beautifully shad-
| ed. And, besides this, the sunbonnet has
a value from the point of view of economy.
IT washes excellently, and the youngster
always has headgear that is spick and
span.
These facts have brought sunbonnets for
children into fashion; Literally, hundreds
! of them will be worn this summer. They
VIII be somewhat of the Kate GreenWay
! style, and will make the small person look
very picturesque and very much like her
| grandmother at the age of six years They
! are to be made with many tucks, and as
prettily as you please. A piece of narrow
| ribbon fastens each under The chin. The
materials most popular are Bingham,
! pique and duck and they must match the
| little frocks they are intended to be worn
with. The favorite colors will be pink,
| blue, white and dark blue
| The chemise for summer wear, says the
| Philadelphia Times, is made with a very
! deep decollete and without sleeves. 1t is
! perhaps a trihe shorter than in for ner
! years, and is made sufficiently full around
| the bottom to form an upderskrt In this
case the drawers are worn under the chem
! Use. The lower edge may be trimmed with
a small hounce zen forme'' of medium
amplitude.
If not fond of laces. one may adopt by
| way Of trimming the ever popular fiat
! plaits. These are applied in a series of
/ three or five, ranged very much after the
manner of an insertion just above the
! flounce.
The chemise Is made quite close fitting
over the bust, being so closely moulded
to the figure as to preclude the possibility
| of any wrinkling or uneVenness under the
corset. The chemlse must be perfectly
plain in the back and made with a simple
| single seam.
The drawers are made with unusual
amplitude. and are very short They are
finished in a lOunce or trimming harmon
| ling with the trimming of the chemise.
In place of the Old time band they are
| gathered with fine draw string. Thus the
amplitude of each leg of the drawers may
be altered to suit individual taste. Many
| fashionable women, however, dispense en-
tirely with the draw string, and allow
! the garment to assume its full size, I'M
! Of n
| gathering.
As regards the small underskrt, It dif-
! fers not a whit in form from the garment
for winter wear.
Quite the latest novelty in the way CT
| summer lingerie is the combination" of
batiste. in which two garments are com
| blned in one. There are many ways of
forming the comblnat ton, such as chem
Use and drawers or drawers and skirt.
| This is a matter to be decided by personal
| preference.
The chemise- drawers is simply a corset
cover to which the drawers have been
added. This garment has many attract
ions for those who do much bicycle rid
ing.
Miss Reichem berg of the Coincide Fran
caise is a great favorite, not only in Paris,
but wherever her wit and her good acting
are known. She is a delightful woman, of
course, but She has certain pecularities
which serve as a foil to her charms, the
best known being her unrelenting dispo-
sition in making fun at her best friends
expense, her enthusiastic economy and
her love for the good things of the table.
Those who wish to remain on good terms
with her know how to please her, and
nearly every morning fish, poultry superb
fruit etc, come to her cook, who at once
rings the bell for her Tnistress-rather a
topsy-turvy arrangement. but Miss Reich
emberg does nothing like other people
and as soon as she hears the bell she trotS
down to the basement. There the two pick
and choose, setting apart what is to be
served on the table upstairs and what IS
to be sold to the man who comes every
day from the central market to bargain
with them and take away the goods that
will not keep.
One day recently the actress was partic-
ularly busy and could not answer the bell
or go downstairs, not even when she
heard that n superb sterlet had arrived
from the shores of the Volga on a bed of
Ice. and hurriedly she called to the cook
to take it herself to a fshmonger and
get a stiff price for 1t. She pocketed a
good round sum over the deal but had for
gotten all about the fish when a friend
of hers, a Russian Prince, being at lunch
at her house, asked her suddenly:
How did you like the steret?"
ooh" said Reicheuberg, 'it was sim
ply delicious and fresh in spite of its long
journey, as fresh as II II mad been caught
an hour before"
1.-THE gills We're as red as your lovely
lips were not they?'
''NIore so, can tell you. for you know.
] am a gourmande, and always see about
these things myself"
But is thar all?''
CAN Pray, what do you mean?"
/, Il mean," said the prince, turning pur-
pie, that the grand duke, who sent the
sterlet to my house, with other things,
wrote and asked me to bring it myself to
you, for he had put in each gill emer-
aid earring, which, believe he had prom
ised you. But I knew you always super
intended these things in person, and
thought 1 would let you have little sur
prise"
Miss Relchemberg dropped her knife and
fork and rushed down to the cook. But
she never saw the beautiful emeralds. The
fish merchant had forgotten to whom the
sterlet had been sold, and the grand dukes
present is most likely somewhere in the
hands OF dishonest chef.
