Timidity in Children.

'It Is the mother, rather than the
father, who is called upon to secure
the blessing Of sound Imagination
to her children. She ought to be-
gin away back in the beginning
with the very first surroundings Of
the newborn infant. Let it find it's
early life peaceful, quiet, and un-
hurried. And when infancy merges
into that older period when young
faculties are springing forward in
rapid development, and each day
the little one takes on more of the
hue Of its larger fellOw-creatures, let
her be doubly careful that no un-
timely scare stunts its Intelligence.
1t is said that to be afraid of shad-
Ows is an inevitable passing expert
ence of childhood. Yet | know one
small fodder who never has shown
any such disposition, but whose
great delight is to play with her own
shadow and other shadows, when
the lights are brought in each night.
She is peculiar sensitive, sympa-
1thetic little thing, and could easily
De made timid by unwise treatment.
But under the sheltering care of
fond and judicious parents, she is
remarkable for mot knowing what
Jis is to be afraid and although she
lis given to unpleasant dreams, as
many young children are, and otter
awakened with start, low word
or touch soothes her into serenity
Happy above others Is the little
child who thinks Of his mother as a
veritable refuge from trouble, a bull
wark against danger, and a sympa
thizing presence. '-Ex.

Silk Jackets and Tucked Blouses.


The iaunty little elk jackets in
troduced early in the season have
become immensely popular both in
black aud colors. Satin also Is used
in this way and with very good eff
feet. A woman writing to an East
ern exchange from abroad describes
p jacket noted recently in Paris.
This was of gray satin tucked all
over in squares and having sap
phire blue velvet ribbons stripping
the shlrred white mule lapels.
There was a white blouse with this
pleated muslin, aud a ruffled tatfeta
skirt.
The matron likes best jacket of
black satin. while those of white or
black taffeta are worn by quite
young girls. A dark blue tatfeta
/ jacket with striped blue and white
skirt and tucked lawn blouse is very
fetching.
The white lawn shirt waists with
bias fronts tucked in clusters, have
caught the summer girl fancy. The
shops are now showing them very
prettily made aud neatly finished
at $2.35.
The shawl shaped capes next to
the silk jackets are having the
greatest vogue as wraps. These are
often built up of the finest and
silkiest of cashmeres and satin and
gauze ruffles them. White cash,
mere particularly is selected fol
such capes, and indeed forms many

able trimming.
Many of the lately flushed hOdices
have a surplice effect. Pleated
muslins are folded across the fronts
of silk waists and held in by vests
or girdle-shaped waist trimming,
and any number of dainty evening
gowns have soft fichu-like drapery
from each shoulder, caught there
with jabot effect and brought down
to the waist where the ends are held
by bow, buckle or bunch of flowers.
Particularly on brides and brides
maids gowns Is this arrangement
used. 1t gives an excellent Oppor-
tunity to use fine wide laces. There
is about an equal division of choice
between the blouse and surplice
fronts. Both look we'll with the
jackets that are fashionable at pres
ent and without jackets it is abso-
lutely necessary to have the front of
the blouse very decorative. The
tapped over tucks or fields of chiffon
or mousseline de sole are not easy
to arrange; and the bodices made in
this style are generally worth all
that is asked for them.
With almost every style of bOdic e
sashes continue to be worn, and will
be until the end of summer.

Ruffs With Flowers.

The girl who lately brought a pretty
ruff out with her SAYS that in Paris
they are worn, trimmed with differ
ent flowers to match different sum
mer gowns. She says she saw a
lovely violet gown with q white lace
ruff, trimmed with violets, pink
muslin gown with roses, and ruche
of white chiffon and roses, but they
were very expensive "nOuveautes,
50 she bought only one. There is,
however, no reason why they should
not be copied. The girls already
are beginning to make them, ard
before the summer is over they will
no doubt be all the rage, says Harp
er's Bazaar. Flowers and lace are
certainly both very cheap here, and
it only needs the knack of putting
them together with the proper light
touch and finish. Any girl who can
trim her own hats, can make a
ruff, and the sooner the girls learn
how the better, as they are most be-
coming additions to summer outfit.

Novelty in Bridesmaids Frocks.

At a recent fashionable wedding
in New York there was a novelty in
bridesmaids gowning that may be
welcomed by the summertime bride
who does not care to have her we'd
ding in all respects like ever other
wedding of the season. Each of the
maids wore a different cOlOred
frOck, yelled in a cloud of fleecy
white tulle. There were one in pink,
one in blue, one in yellow, one in
mauve and one in pale green. Thus,
merged one into the other, these
costumes had charming effect;
each was graced by fchu of clear
fine lace and ribbon ruchings,
which, crossing the bust, met in a
bow at the back and trailed over the
skirt as a sash. Tiny ribbon of it's
own color ran in crinkled lines over
the bodice and skirt of each frock,
and hats of cOlored straw turned
back from the face and trimmed
with white tulle and white tips COM
pleted these dainty costumes. The
bride even designed her own frock
and looked like an old picture, in a
trailing robe of ivory fieur de Vel
ours silk, made with Rubens bo-
dice, decked with Carrickmacross
applique lace. The yoke and sleeves
were yelled in plated chiffon and a
great bow at one side of the waist
had long sash ends of chiffon, the
sides and ends finished with ruch-
ings. The bottom of the skirt was
finished by five rows of chiffon
ruches.

KEY WEST, April 3O.-This has been
the dullest day Key West has known
since the beginning of the war The
only news of the fleet was the firing at
Fort Cabanas, which was exaggerated
In the fashion peculiar to this COM
munity.
The Puritan treason story was an
other subject for discussion. The latest
phase of the incident, according to
these reports, is that the eccentric sail
or has confessed to an attempt to blow
up the big monitor. The officers of the
ship, including Capt. Harrington, still
maintain, however, that Gglesias Is
kept under restraint because it Is I'M
wise to allow irresponsible persons to
be at large on a man of war and that
the treason story Is entirely baseless.
Today's only prize was the little fish
ing smack Lola, loaded with fish for
Havana, which was captured off the
Cuban coast by the dispatch boat Dol
phin, who sent her in with a prize crew
aboard.
The captain of the Lola hove to when
a blank shot was put across her bows,
declaring that he would rather be cap
tured by the Americans than enter Gen.
Blanco's service, which he would be
compelled to do if he went into Ha-
vana.
Lieut.. Gleaves, in command of the
torpedo boat Cushing, is annoyed at
the stories sent from here that the
blowing out of the boats received
few days ago was due to negligence.
He says the boat has been In service
| for a number of years and that the re-
ceiver was too old to bear nigh steam
pressure. The Gushing was not in
capacitated for service and will be
ready for action on short notice.
