ECONOMICAL DRESS FOR GIRLS.

In the children's world fashion Is also queen, and she Is just as arbitrary in her rule when dfctating to the little ones as to the grownup people. The children's clothes of today are nothing more than tiny reproductions of their mothers and ia thers gowns and suits.
 In the illustrations may be seen some l ha 2dsome and useful outdoor wraps In the attractive group of three the one at | the extreme right is made of black hou- levard velvet. This material Is expen- could be substituted. The deep. round collar is edged with Persian lambAas- trakhan would look very well-and above the fur band are appliqued medallions of white furry felt affair trimmed with a graceful bow of wido black velvet ribbon Two black ostrich feathers droop becom- ingly over the brim. under which peep. chou of white satin.
 The center figure wears a serviceable | coat of Htn kersey cloth. The cape col lar is embroidered in design with four teenth century floss, the same silk but curves and center of the fluctuations are l heavy French dots, and around the en- tire s;ape Is fall of ecru lace. The %t5 aat is of sTFed sts tan chiffon makes the becoming face trim ming. Several loops of white ribbon. one at the top, the other under the brim, sJften the outline, as do the three tan ostrich piumes Long ends of white satin ribbon hang down the back. This is a | costume any woman skillful with the needle may easily make. Fancy buttons could be used instead of the embroidery. fortable coat of the fash hionable nut brown color. The material is broadcloth. and panne velvet makes the. cuffs and edges the deep collar. which has an ap- plique of Russian lace; Ties of ribbon worn a soft. ''fioppy" bonnet of white taffeta silk, adorned with feathers.
 For an older girl is pretty box coat of navy blue kersey. Over the cloth cape is one of velvet which. in turn. is cov- the cuffs. This is one of the stunning coats of the season. A picture hat of blue velvet with light blue feathers and 1 ribbons finishes a smart little costume.
 The black silk coat Is with us still, al- though some of it's vogue Is lost. An example very Frenchy i'll effect Is the half tight one illustrated, the beauty of which centers in tn ecollar. It Is trim med with chiffon. appliques and ruffie of black and white accordeon plating of the same material. A dainty hat of shirred chiffon with black tips makes my little lady quite a beauty.
 Probably there is to be found a girl | who will wear this long. loose baggy coat seen in the illustration, but my idea is that most of them would refuse to be l wrapped up in this mummyike affair. It is gorgeously made up in red ottoma. silk, the Dag being trimmed with fancy cords and braid. A small collar of broad tail finishes the neck. cloth could be used instead of the silk, and the bag" would look quite as we'll if unadorned. It is fashions last development. but cape of some other description one or the old time straight. full sort would be an i'm provement. All these styles may be al- tered to suit the individual taste.

try On account of the Encouragement of trade due to the Boxer rebellion it became impossible for the Government to obtain bills
 icient amounts to meet the payments Thus 1t became necessary to call on the mandarins of the provinces for fixed sums of money in silver dollars which were converted into bull lion and shipped to Calcutta The latter is still the principal consuming market in the world, for, although silver Is no longer coined
 in India for private individuals 1t is still In large demand for purposes of ornament and in the arts and is still bought by the Gov ernment for coinage into rupees as cur rency subsidiary to gold. These purchases from China have lessened the demand for sii- yer in London by no less than R1 300. 900. as compared with the corresponding period in 1901
 The latest drop in the price of silver seems to have been due to a movement for the adop- tion of the gold standard in the Straits Settle ments There is talk. also of the gold stan dard in Mexico, and this would have been

 SOCIETY.
AN APPEAL OF
 OF aEoRa1A CLUB WOMEN.
BY MRS. !. II. de corTEs.)

The Georgia Federation, through its President, Mrs A. H. Granger, has made an appeal to the Massachusets club wo- men to cooperate with them in their ight against child labor. In her letter Mrs. Grenger says: 'uf your State Federation will induce the Massachusetts capitalists who own, or largely control. mills In the South to do two things. you can go far towards curing the evil. Persuade mill owners to prohibit child labor in their own mills, and neither to do. nor allow to be done by their employees. any lob bying against our bill" A lively response to this appeal ought to follow. But how many club women in the North were aware that the crying evil of Southern child labor is really the fault of North ern capitalists ?-New York Post.

SILVER IN THE PHILIPPINES
An Unparalleled Crisis in Financial Affairs of the Archipelago.

New York Evening Post.
 The latest dispatches from the Philippines tell us that the continued fall of silver has paralyzed business and caused an unparalleled crisis in the financial administration of the islands. One week ago s2.50 of silver would buy ope dollar of gold. Now $260 Is required, and the prospect is that there will be further decline in the value of the white mesal before the end of the present week The situation could hardly be worse but 1t can be no bet ter until Congress adopts positive legislation and gives the islands better currency.
 The principal cause of the decline Of silver during the past six I>onths has been the expor- tation of that metal from China to India to buy sterling exchange for the payment of the periodical war indemnity of the former coun-

 The December athletic contest for the Ruth gold medal which. runs monthly at the Young Mems Cfr.istian Associa- tion under the direction of Physicalj Di- rector w, S. Frye, WI not commence until Thursday.
 The reason for the p 'sostponement from yesterday is that Mir. Frye is consider ing the advisability os changing the rules of the contest. Hesetofore the contest ant who had the best record for the month wore the mapdal one month and to the one who held the medal three months in succef sion 1t was due as a permanent ackn bwledgment. but these contests have be en waging since May and no contestant as yet secured the medal permanently.
 It is the wish of Mfr. Frye to give the medal as q p Armament token of his sue. cess in the contest to the one who holds the best record for the month of Decem- Der and it is thought he will have plans arranged th this effect.
