Origin OF Visiting Cards.

Origin OF Visiting Cards.
''The use of visiting cards dates
back to quite an antiquity" explains
Mrs. Van Koert Schuyler, in the
Ladies' Home Journal. Formerly
the porter at the lodge or door Of
great houses kept visitors book, in
which he scrawled his idea of the
names OF those who called upon the
master and his family, and to whose
inspection it was submitted from time
to time. One fine gentleman, scion
of the nobility from the Faubourg st.
German, was shocked to find that his
porter kept so poor register of the
names of those who had called upon
him. The names, badly written with
spluttering pen and pale or muddy
ink, suggested to him the idea of
writing his own name upon slips of
PAPER or bits of cardboard in advance
of calling upon his neighbors lest his
name should fare as badly at the
hands of their porters. This custom
soon became generally established.

it has not been generally adopted.
The deep hem or frill, with the trim
ming in the skirt above it still OBJ
tains. Designers have at last sue
ceeded in producing pattern for a
circular-cut skirt in frock or coat that
does not sag in the seams or hang un-
evenly. This model is universally
shown.
In cotton frocks seams are connect
ed with insertion by lines Of veining.
These stripes of insertion extend in
some models to the extreme edge of
the hem. In others they terminate
where the additional circular is at
tached. The Eton or bolero effect is
noted quite as often for children as
for ''grown-ups, not only in woolen
frocks, but in cotton ones also.

Little girls dresses are not gener-
ally cut with skirts in shape. This is
done only when the skirt is entirely
pleated in narrow, lingerie pleats,
which are stitched down about one
third of the skirt, and then allowed to
fall loose. giving the necessary full
ness to the lower part.
Dresses are shorter than they were
last season. There has been some
attempt made to introduce trimmings

A Pretty Wash Frock.

A pretty little wash frock for little
girl is striped watermelon pink and
white, each stripe having little
figure upon it. Stripes lend them
selves prettily to trimmings. This
has pleated ruffle around the skirt,
pleated so that the red stripe comes
together solidly at intervals. The
waist is pleated back and front so that
the red is again together, and the
same effect is given in the short puffed
sleeves. There is lace insertion let
in at all the seams of the skirt of this
little frock, at the head of the pleated
ruffle. and it outlines the pleats in the
front and back of the waist. This is
made to wear with guimpe.

SEARCH FOR DEAD ABANDONED.
Workmen Devoting Their Efforts to
Removing the Drug House Ruins.

NEW YORK, Nov. about one hun
dred men and ten carts and teams were
at work on the ruins of the Tarrant G Co.
Washington, and Warren Streets this
morning. This is the fourth day the
workmen have been engaged in cleaning
away the piled-up debris, but so far as
can be judged, but little progress has been
made A mountain of bricks, twisted
girders and beams still occupies the place
where The Tarrant Building stood while
Greenwich and Warren Streets are filed
with huge piles of wreckage.
The building inspectors say that the
ruins are the worst that they ever had to
deal with, for the reason that the big
steel girders and iron work have been
twisted and doubled about the other de-
brig in q way that makes the work of
cleaning up necessarily slow.
The search for bodies has practically
been abandoned, and the inspectors are
giving all their attention TO removing the
ruins Additional leo, men armed with
shovels were put to work at 10 O'Clock
and il was said that by tonight at least
500 men would be at work
No bodies were found either last night
Or this morning. Only one body, that of
August Schmidt, has been recovered thus
far. The body Of Moorehouse, Tarrant's
snlpplng clerk, IS without doubt in the
ruins, but no attempt has yet been made
to secure il. a woInan's jacket and an
oyerskirt and an underskirt were found
in Warren Street this morning, but the
police dc not think that they belong to a
body. st least, no body could be found
in the vicinity Of the clothing
The list of missing persons is still dwin-
ding. 1t now numbers sixteen, and of
this number there are probably several
who have turned up and have not reported
that fact to the police.
Whether all OF the bodies that may be
In the ruins are recovered is a question
The hTemen think that, II any bodies were
IN the ruins, especially those OF the Tar
rant Building, they must have been COM
pietely ineinerated.
1t has been decided to abandon all at
tenpts to clean away the ruins On Green
wieh Street near Chambers Street and On
the southwest corner of Washington
Street until the walls that are still stand
Ing in that place are pulled down
Charles BindewaId, of rs Boerum Place,
Brooklyn, who was burned at the drug
house disaster, died early today at the

mass Of burns, and the hospital authorities
said when he was taken there that he
could not live. Bindewald is the second
person TO die from injuries received at the
fire.
