WHAT GIRLS ARE WEARING.
STYLES FoR CHILDREN NEVER
NEATER THAN THIS YEAR.
Interesting Description of a Number of
Pretty and Dainty Gowns For the
Young Misses. the Latest
Ones out.

We think there has never been a sea-
son when the styles for children were
of more neat and sensible design than
they are at the present time. This is
true of both dresses and coats.
The pinafore style of frock is still
worn but slightly modified. One pref
ty little gown we saw recently was of
mahogany colored cashmere and had
on under-blouse of turquoise silk.
The front of the waist had two long
slashes from neck to waist through
which which the silk blouse could be
seen and the edges of the slashes We're
held together by little bows of mahog-
any velvet ribbon placed short dis
tances apart. Narrow frills of the
cashmere edged with the velvet fin
ished the top of the pinafore bodice
and formed epaulettes. The skirt was
trimmed with rows of the velvet rib
bon and the sash was of the turquoise
silk. Other pretty combinations could
be effectively copied after this design.
Another dainty little dress that IS
suitable for girl of from five TO
twelve years is of electric blue cloth.
The waist is made full and cut out so
as to show a round yoke of pale blue
silk. This yoke is bordered with a
ruching of velvet and the small sleeves
have epaulettes edged the same way.
The skirt is quite plain.
A dainty dress of gay fancy wooden
material has square yoke of either
black velvet or pale grey silk laid in
folds. The front of the waist is tucked
and the tops Of the sleeves are also
tucked in clusters running round.
Little misses over ten years of age
are wearing the five gored skirts very
similar to those worn by their mamas
Some are trimmed to form tabliers,
paniers and double skirts. This TRIM
ming is usually bands of velvet, gui-
pure, braid or gimp.
-Four or five rows of trimming ar
ranged in large vandykes extending to
a level with the knees makes a pretty
trimming, as does a wide band Of vel
vet starting a few inches below the
waist in the back and reaching a point
midway down the skirt in front.
The smart little Elton jackets are
still worn, but a newer design has
straight fronts drawn in at the waist
but opening TO show vest of silk or
anything liked. Some times the loose
fronts are stripped with rows of VEL
vet or ribbon and in this case the skirt
and tops of the sleeves are trimmed
to match
The short double-breasted sacque
coats are worn by girls of all ages and
they are certainly warm and comfort
able.
Plaids, stripes or small broken
checks are more worn than plain col
ors, and if rough-surfaced materials
are chosen, they will be found to wear
longer than those of smooth surface.

SPOONS AND FORKS.
The Proper Use of the Various Kinds
Is Important.

That this is the age of specialism no
one will deny. The girl going out into
society has this especially brought
home to her in the bewildering array
of various kinds of knives, forks, and
spoons she finds laid alongside her
plate at the numerous dinner parties.
Perhaps there are three or four dozen
special forks, knives, and spoons, and
she does not dare to be mapping il she
wants to be considered altogether
thoroughbred and up-to-date. She
must be thoroughly conversant with
style and use of each, for woe betide

Napoleon as a Matchmaker.


The greatest matchmaker that the
world has ever known seems to have
been Napoleon. After having repeat
edly declined his hand, the doughty
little soldier at last persuaded the fair
Josephine to marry him. He then
turned his attention to the matrimo-
NAL affairs of other folk. He had a
perfect mania for making people mar
ry, and no excuse was admitted from
a bachelor. If an army man pleaded
that he might be killed in battle the
emperor would insist that that was
simply reason for haste. To those
who are urged that they could not find
wives Napoleon would say, LET that
be my care" and the same evening the
thing would be arranged. To the poor
he gave dowries and trousseaux, and
one day he married off 600 soldiers at
once. On another occasion his great
court digntarles had to be married en-

parnell,s WY

In his new biography Of Parnen
Barry O'Brien gives some illustra>
tions of the curt way in which the
Irish leader treated his adherents.
When the lord mayor of Dublin pre-,
sented to him from the Irish people
the Parnell tribute, not less than $1SJ,,
600, his lordship naturally expected
him to make a pleasant speech as an
accompaniment to the gift. THE
lord mayor having been announced"
says Mr.. O'Brien, bowed and began:
Mr. ParnelP-- 4 believe said Mr..
Parnell, you have got a check for
me- The lord mayor somewhat sur
prised at this interruption, said, Yes
and was about to recommence his
speech, when Parnell broke in: Is it
made payable to order and crossedg
The lord mayor again answered in the
affirmative, and was resuming the dis
course, when parnell took the check,
folded it neatly, and put it in his
waiStcoat pocket. This ended the in
terview. The whole business was dis
posed of in five minutes and there was
no speechmaking."

KENDRICK IS CAUGHT.
State Auditor Merriam Receives a
NIcSNare.


Des Moines, Dec. 21.-State Auditor
Merriam received message yesterday
morning from Sioux Center to the eff
feet that Jerry Kendrick, the official
who embezzled the Citizens bank of
that place to the tune of about $11 900
some time ago, had been captured in
the east and would be brought to Iowa
at once. for trial. Kendrick was under
bonds to the amount of $10,000,s with
the Guarantee Surety company of New
York behind him. When his defalca-
tion was discovered, the surety compa-
ny paid over the money and immedi-
ately set to work looking for the err
ring principal. The discovery of their
man and the intelligence yesterday
morning that he would be forwarded
at once to Lyon county to answer at
once to the indictment which the grand
jury has returned against him, shows
the diligence with which they do busi-
ness.
Kendricl is another victim to the
long list of fellows who Thought they
were smart enough to win on another
mans game and SO he continued to go
up against the bucket shop until not
only his own money, but large
amount of that which had been intrus-
ted to him by other people had also
gone with it. To share in his disgrace
and humiliation is an innocent wife
and baby and the friends whose conf
dence he has betrayed.
