TIRED OF FACTORY WORK.
Two Young Girls Who Were Anxious
to &c to Sea.

NEW HAVEN, CT, Sept. 27.-Tired
of working ten hours a day within the
walls OF a corset factory, Nellie Pow
ers and Mamie Dwyer, of Bridgeport,
took.a train for this city. When they
arrived here they made their way to
the harbor front and approached the
captains of all the vessels in port, ask
ing if they could get work as cooks
on the ships for a long voyage.
w want to see the world" said
Nellie, "and we don't know that We.
shall get any other chance If We
don't ship before the mast and go
around the world that way s.
No captains could be found who
would hire the girls. Patrolman Lon
erGan saw them wandering along
the shore front and spoke to them. AS
Nellie is only IA years old and Mamie
1G, Lonergan decided it would be well:
to send them home. He took them to
the Charities Department and inform
ed their parents h came for them
last night. The girls wept when they
were taken away, saying they would
have to go. back to the corset fac
tory.

trimmed with the same.
Delightful features of the coming
summer are some pelerine scarfs in
black and white chantilly few swag-
ger milliners are showing. These are
| imported, and since they are worn
like the prim nantes of the sixties
the effect of one over a suitable gown
| is deliciously quaint. With a costume
of white chiffon Swallowed with black
sprays introducing a blot of blue, one
of these nantes in black chantilly
is shown. Messaline silk in the same
shade as the blot forms the girdle of
this enhancing toilet, which was
ticketed for carriage use.
Truly, one could go on forever
chronicling the daintiness that Dame
Fashion has confected for woman
future glorification. The tiny para
soils of their mothers days-such as
only old ladies have been given to re-
cently-the women are to carry again
en- voiture. Then undersleeves are to
be made to take out, and every article
of underwear is to be fashioned to suit
garments. In short, women are to be
more groomed than ever. They are
to be more coquettish, more feminine
which, after all. is the quality eternally
telling in woman's dress.

colored linen canvases in fancy
weaves from wool texture.
With the thinner stuffs, skirt trim
mings and elaborate sleeves are the
natural result. The skirts fall with
an effect of extreme width, as all
skirts, but they are carefully fitted at
the hips to do away with clumsiness.
If tuck shirrings are used upon a little
bodice the jupe may be treated in the
same way at the hips. Sometimes the
skirt is there tucked horizontally, but
whatever the device used for fitting,
care is taken that it does not enlarge
the figure below the belt.
At this point the fashionable form
is, in fact, singularly shrunken, as If
it had undergone pruning to accom-
modate itself to the new silhouette.
Speaking of this silhouette, and the
effects which accomplish it, cele-
brated Frenchman declares that mod
ern dress has an eighteenth century
flavor. Flounces, frills, ruchings, rib
bon bands and elaborate sleeves, of
course, tend toward this ceremonious
elegance, which is not without its
effect upon our manners.
Soft Dresses, Sole Manners.
Women are by no means as brusque
as they once were. And if they go
on getting softer in dress they will, of
course, go on getting softer in manner
till-who knows?-perhaps, men Will
come after awhile to kissing their
hands again. But to bark back to the
thin gowns.
Orchid violet Swiss, dotted with
white, composes little frock, topped
by a violet Panama sailor wreathed
with purple and violet hepaticas. The
skirt has several founces cut straight
and graduating in width, and round
yoke of white French lace adds a be-
coming touch to the bodice. Through
the stock of this violet bebe ribbon is
run, and violet messaline silk forms
the deep crush belt.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-02-28

ribbon or velvet suspenders, perhaps,
over the shoulders for solidity. This
line is too narrow to make marked
break, and the effect is one of very
long shouldered yoke. But for those
who can wear them this detail is often
cut in one. the lower line taking curves
of many sorts and the majority of
them exquisitely becoming to the
figure.
The little jackets which hang from
the shoulders, since they are especially
suited to the wide silk belts, are much
liked for the thin textiles with tuck
ing or lace or ribbon to give them
body. A French model in pale blue
mousseline displays the entire jacket
of cream lace, with narrow edgings of
the same upon the skirt flounces.
Effect of Collars.
Not uncommonly an ornamental
collar will give the long shouldered
effect, these sometimes reaching to the
top line of the girdle. Numbers of the
thin embroidered batistes and fine
linens are made in this way, the deep
embroidery with tucks or pleats at
meath forming the skirt. For these
delicate white and cream gowns a
white silk belt is sometimes arranged,
and the models in these are more fire.
quently of soft silk than anything
else.
Here again headgear must keep
pace with summer elegance, and here
the tulle and flower hats may come in.
A stylish box turban made entirely
of folds of malines is decked at the
side backs with loops of ribbon velvet,
suggesting in form long buckles. This
hat, which is shown in black, white
and color, is an effective headpiece for
a summer gown in airy textiles.

butchers linen, whose other garniture
was a heavy braid lace. this narrow
tinseled and white band bordered a
smart little vest. Passementerie but
tons of white wash cord, with the
swinging ends showing knobs of the
gilt ornamented the fronts of the lit
tie coat which was a loose eton. To
prove that the gold would stand water,
this costume had already been laun-
dered, which publication many thin
linen garments are put through before
they are placed upon the market.
Popular Trimmings.
Narrow cotton braids, introducing
floral patterns in white, black or color,
are trimmings used upon piques and
ducks. These likewise wash superbly
white tracing the delicate thread of
color with which it is now a fad to
vary white costumes. In combina-
tions of black and white and color
the black used very sparingly-these
narrow braids have distinctly French
stamp, which stylshness the running
of black bebe velvets through the laces
and headings of other gowns also ac-
composites.
In fact, as far as the wash frocks &c
