fitting. The corduroy suits, in Russian
blouse and gathered Knockers, are charm
ing for small boys and nothing could be
more elegant than the velvet cloaks shown
for girls of all ages. Plain white cloth, in
deep collars, revers and pipings, trims many
of these cloaks. which for girls over eight
frequently show the skirt f1ounces and elab-
crate sleeves Of the grown-up garment.
Gaily plaided silks--introducing always
much white, with line of black for tone
are also used for collars and cuffs, while
some rare (and rather expensive) coats may
be entirely of plaid velvet, trimmings in
this case being plain silk or satin.

seems misnomer when you see the dress
mess which velvet and plain cloth trim
mings sometimes give them. To counteract
this the cloak stuff is of some heavy
coarse wool, perhaps a checked tweed or
mottled cheviot. and there is often an ul-
ster belting-in of the back to further the
look of purely useful garment
In length these stylish cloaks are sup
posed to cover the skirt hem, which should
escape the ground, as the long wraps are
not of nature to lift gracefully. Many
of the models button up the front to a
turnover collar and revers, both of which,
when the garment is of box cloth, are usu-
ally heavily stitched. The full backs are

of novelty they are now designated by
the knowing ones as "tartans." Used
as trimming in the way the single cut
demonstrates the bright tartans are also
very effective on adult gowns, but the
sight of an all plaid grown-up frock is a
sure indication that the wearer is not ex-

They are too clumsy, declare the dress
makers, to shape into the figure, so for

sharply tabooed. But plaid skirt and

IN EUROPEAN CAPITALS.

Vaudeville news is very scarce this
month, especially about the Americans.
as the halls on the continent are clos
ing for the usual summer vacation,
writes European correspondent. In
Berlin, at the Metropole theater, the
vaudeville managers met this month
and formed an organization, but it was
poorly attended, not half of the mem
bers appearing, while it looks now
as if it was their first downfall. The
leading members of the vaudevilles,
who were in Berlin at the same time.
Immediately organized an association
for the protection of the vaudeville
performers, and to demand from the
managers an equitable contract. They
sent committee of three, on the day
of the meeting of the managers, and
submitted contract, which, after con-
siderable debate, was accepted by the
managers, who have arranged to print
several OF the clauses thus submitted,
One of the clauses that the managers
had inserted, read: Every artist
must give full rehearsal in costume
and makeup" Another read that each
artist must arrive twenty-four hours
in advance, which is now in contracts
of Paris and Berlin, making performers
lose one or two days in each town, and,
of course, they got no salary for it.
These two clauses the Performers AS
ISOLATION positively refused to have in
their contracts, and the managers gave
In to them. The only trouble over
here is that the actors will not stick
by each other. They have not enough
star acts.

A new, although possibly doubtful
blessing of war has been discovered
by Philadelphia school teacher, who
asserts that since the Spanish-Amer-
lean conflict and the Transvaal and
Chinese troubles her pupils have made
wonderful progress in geography. She
has under her charge children ranging
from nine to eleven years Of age, and
declares that she expects them to
graduate with one hundred per cent to
their credit in geography. The boys
in particular are SO eager to see where
the troops landed, the route they fol-
lowed and the battles they fought, that
they spend much time porting over
their aliases and studying the maps.
so you can see" she says. '.that their
knowledge of geography is much
greater that it otherwise would have
been, as it was made interesting by a
study of coming events in those par
ticular countries. Thus the geography
of these conflicts and the history of
them are pretty well fixed in the pu-
pills minds"

Millionaire yerkes First Trade.

Charles T. Yerkes, the Chicago street
railway magnate, who is now building
electric lines in London, showed early
appreciation of the theory of buying
and selling to advantage. He tells how
as boy he frequented salesroom
near his home. "One day." said Mr..
9erkes, Il noticed several boxes of
soap of certain brand which 1 had
often been sent to buy at the corner
grocery. l thought to myself That
Will go cheap so straightway ran to
the corner grocery and after drawing
from the grocer promise to pay a
certain price for as many boxes of
soap as l could furnish Che, of course,
never dreaming l would supply them),
l returned to the salesroom. A box
OF the soap was about to be knocked
down to the highest bidder when I.
called out from my corner another
bid. The box was declared sold to me
and my name demanded. Charles T.

voice. was only II years old. The
bystanders were amused, but their
laughter gave place to amazement
