TWELVE SMOTHERED.
Fatal Fire in Crowded Tenement House
in Greater New
York.

New York, Nov. 21-Smothered before
they could reach the rear fire escape in a
burning tenement building at 1856 Trout
man street, in the Williamsburg district
of Brooklyn, twelve persons met death
shortly before o'clock Sunday morning.
The dead are the mother and two small
children of the Polognio family, Maranlo
Triolo, his wife and three children
Marie Ambrosia and her 1S-year-old
daughter; Mary Galigoni, Is, and Lon
aria Grosseppi, aged 80.
Two entire families, those Of Maranio
Triolo and Charles Polognio. are wiped
out, the last living MEMBER of each beng
now in a hospital, with no hope of their
recovery. They are Charles Polognlo, 50
years old, and Tony Triolo, 13 years old,
both of whom are terribly burned. AL
though, in the opinion of the coroner, all
the dead were suffocated. the bodies
were badly burned before they could be
taken from the ruins by the nremen.
The fire is supposed to have started in
the cellar of the grocery store of Antonio
Glambalvos on the ground floor. The
cellar was stored with inhammable ma
terial, and the flames spread with light
ming like rapidity. All the occupants
were asleep at the time.
All the bodies were found in the rear
room of the third floor, and it was evil
dent that all had been suffocated
in their efforts to reach the fire escape at
the back of the building. The two who
were rescued were found in the lower
hallway soon after the tiremen reached
the scene. Working their way through
the building the reScuers discovered the
heap of dead on the third floor, and
within short time succeeded in taking
out nine bodies, but the last was not
found until after s o'clock yesterday
morning.

DAINTY THINGS
FOR BOUDOIR WEAR
The Japanese Kimona, in Its New
. Models, Increase in Pop
ularity.

The simple japanese kimona is in
greater favor than ever for negligee
wear, because of it's ease and grace
and the quickness with which it can
be arranged or discarded. Many beau
tiful and quite Oriental designs in cot
ton crepes are shown in the shops for
this purpose. These can be made up
quickly and inexpensively, or, if de-
sired, fashioned out of dainty silks.
The boudoir maid who affects kimo-
mas usually wears the heelless toilet
slipper made out of piece of the fab
ric in her kimona.
The short kimona is also much fav-
ored, and is usually made of cotton or
silk crepes or of handkerchiefs. Red
and blue bandannas and white hand
kerchiefs with colored borders are
favorites for this negligee. More full
ness is required for the kimona than
the combing jacket.
The strictly Grecian costume of
white, made to fall very full in gath
ers, with cord and tassel arrange
ment at the neck or waist, is another
style which finds high favor. Some
times the material is draped to fall
from the left shoulder or from both in
soft folds, held by a knot or buckle.
China and India silks, crepe de chimes,
and cotton crepes are desirable for
such robes.
For the thoroughly modern boudoir
maid bewildering display of mate
rails is offered-white and delicately
tinted Chiffons, mousselines, gauzes
and point d'esprits. A liberty silk robe
is shown in opal shades. with an opa-
lescent sequin girdle to secure it at
the waist line.
Ruff1ed and plated ruchings have in
vaded the realm of the boudoir gown.
A red crepe de chine has angel sleeves
of accordian pleated chiffon, edged
with red ruching. The yoke is made
entirely of the ruching, which has
tiny silk cord edge.
Dressing gowns Of the Colonial
style are picturesque and becoming, in
addition to their merit of ease and
comfort.
Many pretty and practical things are
shown in dressing saCques in china
silks and laces. A typical one was
made of blue satin ribbon and inser-
ton, with little plated, fan-shaped
pieces of silk inserted at intervals be-
low the waist. This feature also made
a full, graceful collar and sleeves.
Pongee sacques with heavy lace col
lars of Irish crochet make serviceable
garments. The honeycomb effect is
pleasing feature of the newest pongee
boudoir sacques. 1t gives graceful
folds, and is varied by little touches
of beading and tinsel

Spring FineY for Children
of the 1880 Mode
White the Favorite Color, and the Lace Collar the
Favorite Decoration.
BY HARRIET HAWLEY.

This is great spring for the slim
little maid, for the 1880 effects, nota-
bly, the -shouldered, dropping col
lar and the shirred skirt yoke, have
crept into the fashions for children.
Aside from this, there is no notable
change in fashions for little folk. In
common with their elders, they will
wear much green and brown, while
American beauty red will be a popular
hue for the girl who needs a dash of
color in her costume. AS Easter
comes early, cloth, chiffon, velvet and
silk will form the majority of Easter
and spring costumes, but the spring
like touch dear to childish hearts will
be offered in the hats, which are ,veri-
table wildernesses of flowers.
Another accessory of the spring
costume, which is really a necessity is
the lace collar There is absolutely
nothing in the child's wardrobe which
will save wear and tear on mothers
nerves like a good lace collar. In
heavy Russian lace, Irish point, Point
de Venise or Paraguay, it will renew
the life of a made-over dress, and,
best of all, will bear innumerable
cleanings on its own part, if care
fully handled. The deep, round, lace
collar is still worn by children, and
there come also collars with pelerine
effects in the front, or long tabs over
the shoulders.

of the shoulder seam is kept within

A group of pretty costumes of mod

late French models. Soldier blue is

strappings and wide bias bands. The
undersleeves are of plain white NULL
and three big ivory buttons are used
on the front of the waist.
A frock of a very feminine nature
is of pale brown aeolienne, with trim
mings of brown ribbon velvet. The
skirt has three deep shaped fiounces,
horizontal strips of velvet going from
the top one to the velvet girdle. The
main feature of the waist, whose yoke
is of pure white lace, is bertha trim

white.
These hues and blendings are
shown in cotton and wool textures
whose inexpensiveness often astounds
the Questioner. A cotton yelling of a
sort of granite quality, displayed in
soft mauves, tans, grays and other
shades, sells at fifteen cents the yard.
This material is charming, and a mod

over cheap silk and trim them with
narrow ribbons and velVets.
A charming frock already fashioned
of the cotton yelling is in a duh sage

employed upon the bodice. The odd
skirt is shirred at the sides with three
deep tucks heading and bordering the
fiounce. A flounced cape, crossed sur
