FASHIONS FOR LITTLE ONES.
Pretty and servicenble suits for
Creepers and Toddiers Now
I'm Vogue.

Pretty things In the way of chill
dren's clothes are now coming TO the
fore, clothes for the little ones who
will accompany their parents in a late
winter or early spring trip 10 the
south or that will he worn during
the summer. There are Russian
blouses still for the little ones, and
these are made i'm all colors and in
various pretty and strong wash ma
terials-piques, linens and galatea IN
different colors, all white or white
trimmed with colors, and each more
attractive than the other, says the
New York Times.
Little Russian blouse suits are
made for both little boys and little
girls with little trousers under the
long blouse, for seashore or noun
tains, or anywhere the little ones are
to have the comfort of playing in the
dirt and amusing themselves out of
doors. The sailor suit is also in evil
dence, for there is nothing pretticr
for the half-grown boy and girl.
There is a variety OF devices for
them, each satisfactorily nautical,
which are put on at the regular naval
supply stores, TO be sure that they
are exactly accurate.
The Russian blouses are finished
with straight bands at the neck or
with little turned-over collars. Ono
pretty little blouse is finished with
bands of pink i'm the center of which
are bands of white Hamburg, the
pink showing through. The band up
the side of the blouse, the belt and
collar band are made In this way.
One pretty little suit that is to be
made TO order is to be of moss
green for a wash suit for the noun
tains. Brown linen is one of the most
serviceable materials used for chit
dren and one of the most popular.
Little sunbonnets or hats are made
to match the little suits for mothers
who like to see a certain uniformity
In dress. A little maiden in a pink
gown and pink sunbonnet is fetch
ing. So she is, too, in serviceable
dark blue or brown.
Some mothers put their children,
girls as well as boys, in quiet country
or seaside places in little pajama-like
garments. made on the principle OF the
bifurcated garments used for some
children for nightgowns. Creeping
suits are made in this way for small
children.
Shocking, which Is not new. but
which will never grow old, is one OF the
prettiest ways Of finishing children's
little frocks. This Is to be found on
around the neck and sleeves OF the little
low-necked and short-sleeved frocks
and forms tiny yokes in the high.
necked frocks. There is always a sug.
gestion OF home work about IL that Is
charming, aside from its real beauty.

THE EVENING PRAYER.

Tired eyes are gently closing
As the twilight droppeth down.
Wrapping with the veil OF slumbsg
Hill and valley. dale and town:
Softly little hands are folded
AS the shadows closer creep
Uinless lips OF childhood murmur
Now ! lay me down 10 sleep"
Down iife's pathway stretching onward
Lieth snares unseen, unknown,
Waiting for their coming Il otsteps--
But the Father guards His own:
And. as stainless as In childhood.
He will guide by pitfalls deep.
II. as now. they plead: II pray Thee
Pray Thee. Lord. my soul 70 keep"
Now the tender mother. listening.
Feels her pulses thrill with fear.
As she fancies, In the shadow.
Death. the dark-robed. lurking near.
And with throbbing heart she questions
How the sacrifice TO make.
At the low words, scarcely spoken:
SHOULD I die before wake"
slumber now has almost won them.
Droops the iashes lower still.
While a sweet and holy presence
All the twilight seems TO I'LL:
And the listening Saviour only.
AS the words their lips forsake.
Hears the last half-uttered whisper:
'Pray-Thee-Lord-m soul-to take"

HOMEMADE PICTURE FRAMES.
Now Being Used for Many
OF Them.

Tho art shops display several styles
OF photograph frames on which 10
mount embroidered linen covers, paint.
ed designs or lowered wall paper,
which is both effective and cheap, say
the New York Tribune.
The photograph frame proper con.
sists of the cardboard mat on which
the embroidery or paper is stretched /;
the back, which is supplied with easel
OF ring, and in some instances both;
the frame, and glass for the front.
There are many graceful designs in
linen embroidery, which should be done
in frame or hoop. The buttcrcup,
carnation, violet, daisy and wild rose
offer simple flower subjects which are
easy TO work, and which are strewn in
careless manner over the linen SUR
face. When the embroidery is finished
II is carefully pressed and stretched
over the cardboard mount, which is
first covered with layer OF wadding.
Place the linen on the mount smoothly
and evenly, fasten at the corners with
pins and turn the board over face down
ward. Stretch the linen carefully over
the sides and secure 10 the back with
a good glue, in preference to paste or
mucilage. After IL has been allowed TO
dry thoroughly cut the opening for the
picture. IL the opening should be
square, cut with sharp penknife from
the center 10 each corner, forming an
X. Draw the strips OF the linen TO the
back OF the mount and secure In the
same manner as the outer edge. III the
picture opening Is round or oval the
linen should be cut in Sits from the
center to the edge, drawn back careful
ly and glued.
tx the mount Is covered with water
color paper and decorated the paper is
not carried over TO the back, as the
linen Is done, but the picture openings
are marked around with pencil on the
under side and carefully cut out With
a penknife. The paper Is fastened
smoothly 10 the mount with photog-
raphers' paste and the beveled edge OF
the openings are finished with gold
paint.
Rich and artistic effects are often OBJ
tanned from lowered wall paper. vio-
let, moss rose and orchid wall paper all
contribute attractive effects for these
photograph frames.

THE DUTY or MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance or moro

properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suf-

There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should SEQ
that she gets 1t.
Many mothers hesitate 10 take their
daughters to a physician for examina-

write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation -
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date OF
March. 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating woman's peculiar monthly
troubles.

When consumptive demand equals
or exceeds supply and prices are
firmly held at an exceptionally high
level, it is generally considered that
there is little to be desired in the busi
ness situation. These factors are
now in evidence to an unusual extent,
yet many industries are hating. The
principal disturbing element is the
lack of cars to handle the phenomenal
shipments that are urgently needed.
80 this must be added the delay
caused by extensive changes under
way at many railway terminals, where
better facilities are being prepared,
but in the meantime regular work is
handicapped. In the same connec-
ton there have appeared numerous
labor controversies among switch
men, freight handlers, river pilots,
miners and other allied workmen,
which combine to make the problem
of transportation most intricate. AL
though the movement of grain to in
terror cities is at the rate of nearly
three million bushels daily, the west
