Dominicans in 1887, and the Recollets in
1906. When the various orders took up
the Catholic work in the islands, the
work that has grown to such great di-
mansions, the country was portioned out
to them individually and each followed
the task assigned. The friars did not
settle in communities of their own, but
were scattered widely, the priest, or
dained to live apart from his fellows,
cheerfully accepting hardship and isola-

Hairdressing at the moment admits
Of variety of styles, some of which are
really charming. 1t is impossible to lay
down any hard and fast rules as to how
the hair should be dressed, or what
should be worn in it. A young Greuze-
like face looks charming with ribbons
twisted through the tresses, but it is not
fashion l like for the woman past her
first youth.
The Partisan is wearing all sorts OF
fancy tortoiseshell pins, which in them
selves are often things of great beauty
Flowers are worn sometimes, but not
sufficiently to say that it is fashion.

other.
There are certain fashions and certain
fabrics which never really get common

very few people can make them, and no
matter how they are treated they must
be more or less costly.
But whether they become ordinary or
not, nearly all the Wristbands of the mo-

work is expensive, and the daintiest of
the sheer little frocks are exquisitely
made by hand. Rich or pretentious
trimming is altogether out of place,
but drawn work, fagoting, tucking, in
set fine lace, delicate hand embroidery,
etc., are altogether appropriate and
lovely upon the dress of finest main
sock, lawn, null or organdie.
If mother puts this work upon her
small girls party dress, as a labor of
love, the dress does not cost much
in money; but if an expensive needle
woman or outfitter of children makes
the dress, it's price will run up to a
surprising figure.
Fortunately, so much hand work is
not essential to pretty frock. A very
fine, sheer material is demanded il
the little garment is to be successful
This must be made very neatly, and
whatever work there is on it must be
fine.
Better very slight amount of hand
work than quantities of machine APP
piled trimming. The keynote of the
little child's frock should be dainti-
ness, and few tucks neatly run in by
hand, little fine lace and insertion ap-
piled by hand, touch of fagoting, hem
stitching or shocking, will give fine
nainsook, batiste or null an air of
charming delicacy and childlike SIM
plicity.
Some of the soft, sheer silks, such
as China and India, silk mousseline
and crepe de chine, are made up into
party frocks for children, but are
more appropriate for girls older than
those we are considering here. The
fine woollens, too-alhatross, nuns
yelling, cashmere, etc.-are used in
white or light colors for children's
dressy frocks, and have the advantage
of warmth; but, when all is said, the
ideal little party frock is Of sheerest

The winter racing season is again
fully under way. This form of sport has
now become well established in Amer
lea and is welcome variation from the
former merry-go. rounds that were at"
tempted in winter time in the north a
few years ago by greedy race track
men, who could not wait for the sum-
mer sun. The climate at New Orleans
and San Francisco makes racing prac-
teal and entertaining in the winter, and
with the addition of the winter colony
of visitors always present in those
cities, there is ample population to sup
port racing in first-class style. More
over, New Orleans could not support
racing in rivalry with the northern
tracks during the summer season, so
that it is a fortunate fact that racing
there in the winter is feasible. The
class and quality of horses racing at the
winter tracks is gradually improving
each year, and while the largest and
wealthiest owners seldom care to race
longer than during the summer months,
here are yet plenty of stables OF good
size and quality to supply New Orleans
and San Francisco. There will be two
other points at which winter racing
will be attempted this season, but in
each place the venture is doubtful.

the smallest men playing football in this

only Jap who has embraced the
game in this country.
Superior team work, and an abund-
ance of tricky plays, coupled with more
thorough training, gave the Carlisle In

over the all-California eleven at San

PLAYED on the coast. The score was %

vailed. and the field was in splendid
