BAPTIZING HER DOLLS.

Katherine had been to morning SER
vice with her mother She was a very
little girl and this was the third time
she had ever been in church. Every
thing, says the New York Times, SEEM
ed strange to the child, but she had
been very good, and had obeyed her
mothers injunction to be quiet as a
mouse to the letter. And she had paid
strict attention to the clergyman.
This Sunday, any way, she did not
have to try very hard to pay atten-
ton, for she was intensely interested
in what was going on. 1t happened
to be the day for baptism. and RATHER
ines eyes grew very big and round
as she watched several persons whom
she knew come out from the vestry
in white robes and saw the clergyman
plunge them into the water in the
tank, saying as he did so the impress
sive words of the service:
l baptize thee in the name of the
rather and of the Son and of the Holy
Ghost"
On the way home Katherine did not
chatter as usual, and on her face was
a look of anticipation. On reaching the
mouse she went upstairs by herself.
Half an hour later when her mother
called for her to come to luncheon
there was no reply, so Mrs. Gray
Went to investigate.
she found Miss Katherine dressed
IN her big sisters long black rain
coat standing beside the bathtub,
which was full of water. Her large
!.amily of dolls lay on a chair beside
we tub. She was just in the act of
upping one of them into the water,

FADS OF FASHION.
Hhe Newest Coats-Red Hats Popu-
lar.

ehe Newest Coats-Red Hats Popu-
The woman who possesses good furs,
good lace and good feathers can never
be out of style.
A few red hats are seen, and they
are likely to prove more popular. The
newest coats are in sack form, and
walking toilets are made with the
short skirt and the coat so abbreviated
in length that it is often a sack Lolero.
The most of these coats stop at the
hip line, but many only just reach over
the edge of the waistband and in this
form are most becoming to a short
figure.
All garments are big, wide and loose.
The straight front corset has made a
very small waist impossible, and the
stout figure no longer has the tied in
waist with excessive rotundity above
and below.
The only tight portions of our present
attire are the tops Of the sleeves and
the waist and hips Of our skirts. All
else may be full and loose, and even
the straight seam at the back Of coats
is disappearing, as it now runs straight
to about the middle of the back and
then slopes out violently.
The picture shows suitable evening
wrap for a young girl.

The snowflake tweeds are admirable

fabrics we find the Russian galloon.
Red zibeline usually has black tufts Of
a large size. The silk passementerie or
gimp worn by former generation has
again come to the front, and even the
tassels with pendent balls and fringes
have been reproduced.

Shoulder Cape Effects on Tailor
Mades.
Strappings on skirts and on cloth and
zbeline suits are much wider and COW
cred with stitched lines. They are dis
posed in lengths pointed or tabled.
Some run in lines over seams, others
are arranged in graduated groups, the
wide strappings on light colored gowns
are rendered more prominent by cord
ing of black silk or satin running
around the strap, and the pointed ends
are finished with three to five Of the
tnlest black silk buttons.
In Paris and Vienna many of the new
models have shoulder capes deliberately
trimmed with lace and fur. These are
arranged as deep collars on the blouse
or sack coat and correspond with the
toilet Shaped strappings are very ele-
CANT on these cape collars, and tasses
are largely used An exquisite cos
tune OF green velvet was made with a
sack coat barely touching the top Of

A. f. Cunningham, with a crew OF
bridge builders, arrived in town, Mon
day morning. with two powerful hoist
ing engines, for the purposes of I'M
lolding two steel bridge trusses, which
areto be used in the construction of a
new bridge to take the place of the
overhead bridge on upper Water street.
The trusses are heavy pieces OF iron
work. one weighing 29.00G pounds, ana
the other. $3.50 The old bridge is too
narrow for the passage of some OF the
Pullman cars. and the steps of a num-
Der of them have been torn off Whlle
crossing it, and it is to avoid accidents
that the new bridge will be built. IL
will be q substantial affair, wider than
the present one, and with an iron floor.
If is not decided if work will begin I'M
mediately on the new structure, out
when the time comes, it will be set up
alongside of the present one, and when
everything is completed, the old one
will be swung off of the abutments and
the new one swung in in its place. IL
is thought that work will take about
three weeks.
