were made in the northwest provinces
of Canada in 1908; $4,000 homestead en-
tries have been received in the north

100000 acres. The entries for 1903
were double the number for 1902 and as
many as for three years previous

BILE raiment for children of the busy play
age is the most sanitary.
Half-hose will be much worn by wee folk
in the house with slippers in patent leather,
while for the street there are white kid
shoes with black patent leather vamps with
leggins in leather, velvet, broadcloth and
wooden yarn to supply the deficiency of the
half hose.
Lingerie Hats.
Lingerie effects still prevail in dress
hats for little girls, but for school wear
tailored fashions no longer considered
too old for the girl of twelve or under
In the matter of furs for very small chill
dren, the return of the eiderdown will be
welcome. White Tibet fur and white as
trakhan are also used for little tots, and
their sisters a trifle older may have white
fox. Mole skin and beaver bands are sun
used in combination with white silk, broad
cloth and velvet, when employed in coats
for children under five years of age Seal
skin bands also employed this year,
but for children a trifle older.
One last general word: Mothers who
are artists in dressing their children, are
carefully avoiding the use of orange or
tobacco brown. Either one is distinctly
a mature color and makes a child look
over-dressed.
Bright colored plaids are employed in
kits for small boys, in simply made frocks
for their tiny sisters and in shirt waist
suits and more dreSsy frocks for their
older sisters. They are the most desirable
of fabrics for the economical woman,
they require little or no trimming. Braid
which harmonzes well with the predom-
mating color tone in the plaid and buttons
are used for trimming this material
In Scotch Plaid.
A very pretty dress for girl of fourteen
was developed in shirt waist fashion from
Scotch plaid, showing dark blue and dark
green with very fine stripe of gold silk.
The skirt was made with side plaits. The
blouse was also plated back and front,
the central plat in the front being a little
wider than the side plaits, and set off
by groups of buttons arranged in three
between two rows of plain green braid.
The buttons were of gold, heavily enameled
with green and blue. The stock and cuffs
were trimmed with the plain green braid
and buttons OF the smaller size
more elaborate plaid gown for q girl
of about the same age showed navy blue
and a blush white, with a hair line of

red. This was made up with cardinal red
velvet, which matched the red stripe. The
skirt laid in big plaits and the blouse
was made with shocked fronts set into a
shoulder yoke of red velvet. The high
girdle was also of velvet
A Rob Roy Check.
For very best, when silk is desired,
Rob Roy check may be employed. This
shows red and black so cleverly combined
in the check that at a distance the fabric
gives the effect of a chameleon red tar
fetas. Quite frequently the plaid is over
laid with small red figure in satin finish.
The fine shepherd plaids are also greatly
in demand, and these are trimmed with
braid and very plain tailored buttons.

Never have the counters displayed mere
complete lines of wash fabrics suitable for
hard wear. Cotton cheviots. galatoa cloth,
pique and novelty goods. which may be
classed under the general title OF mercer
lied cottons, all make durable wash fTOcks
for winter wear.
AS ii is not always easy to dry clothes IN
winter, they should be made up simply with
as few shirrings as possible and fiat braid
for trimming. Russian blouse suits or one
piece dresses laid in plaits are the most ef-
fective in these heavy wash materials.

In a season when grown-ups' clothes are
ornate to the point of looking overloaded, it
is a genuine relief to enter a shop which
specializes smart raiment for children, for
here, at least. simplicity reigns, effective
and restful. While their elders are going
in for the most impossible shades of brown,
mahogany, flame and green, children under
sixteen years of age are going back to the
first principles of white or delicate colorings
made up on straight lines, which are dis
tinct relief after SO much stirring, straight
and applied.
The one exception in the matter of color
ing is the plaids, which are more than ever
popular for small girls and boys and for
Miss Sweet Sixteen. But the plaid is made
up very simply without trimming, save,
perhaps, a fold or two of velvet and but
tons
Another feature of the year in Liliputian
raiment is the sharp line which defines

DAINTY CoIFFUREs AND SMART BLoUsEs

draped with fchu of India null, and the
bodice fastens slightly at the left front I'M
der three bows of coral pink taffetas.
The third bodice in Importance is OF
orange lace net. The wrist-length sleeves
are SHRED down the outside, the fulness
falling in puff above the tight cuff piece.
In soft contrast of coloring is lace yoke in
pure white, over which the net blouse opens
in d long V outlined with folds of orange
velvet. Three rosettes of the same, held
down with topaz buttons, finish the front of
the waist.
a fourth corsage is made quantity charm
ing through a sash and fchu drapery- of
embroidered India muslin. French gray
silk, in trellised vine pattern, composes
the gown itself, which accords admirably
with a demure crown of braids.
The fifth waist, which is also part of a
costume. shows the elegant and smart COM
bination of mauve and pale blue as well
as the Duffings so universally employed.
The gown is of blue silk and the trimmings
of mauve chiffon and Velours mousseline
combined, while the skirt front depicts the
old robe treatment French makers delight
to exploit.
Harmony Necessary.
But" the fair critic will say, "snce the
subject was theater waists why introduce
the skrts?" and madame the modiste will
tell you that it is because the high world
now looks little coldly upon the odd
bodice. Ravishing ones are seen and they
are exploited by smart dressers, but the
harmonious ensemble of a costume is
thought to supply the most satisfactory
get-up. Numerous splendid skirts of vel
vet, silk, poplin, etc, are accompanied by
waists entirely of lace, but whatever the
color of the skirt the bodice matches. If
more continuity is desired, bretelles and
sashes of the skirt ma terial often added.
The only exception to this. maybe, is in the
jacket of colored brocade, which may be
worn with black white lace skirt. Num-
bers of such coats are seen brilliantly hued
and made dashing with stiffened tails, gem
med buttons and rich laces which form
smart cravats and sleeve trimmings of
much beauty.
Charming details of the theater get-up
are some new French gloves, whose wrin-
king arm pieces are ornamented with min
iature lace rosetteS or insets. These, in
congruously enough, are of suede, and the
ornamentation comes from the fact that
sleeves are so much shorter than formerly.
Then they may, in way, be called gloves
de style, for they are designed especially
for the pointed, high-busted bodices which
owe their inspiration to the courty old
models. With such bodces and gloves, a
black velvet band about the bare throat
and velvet bracelets are said to be worn
in the evening by chic women in Paris
Magnificent gem brooches fasten the bands
and a UNIQUE ornament is sometimes worn
in the highly dressed couture. This is
large fiat rosette of yellowish white lace
placed against the pincushion of pun TO
look like a tiny cap set slightly sidewise.

For afternoon and party wear. finer wash
fabrics may be employed, and here may
enter the most delicate of Eandwork. Re-
Gently there were finished for two little sis
tiers in wealthy New York family dresses
which furnish excellent models for wear on
Sundays or to the dancing class. The ma
terial used was handkerchief linen and the
trimming consisted of hand-run tucks and
Irish crochet lace. The plain skirts, shirred
into a band at the waist, were finished with
two-inch edging of the lace. Above this
We're three tiny tucks another band of the
insertion, three more tucks, another band
of the Insertion and another trio of tucks.
The little waists showed deep yokes built
from alternate strips of the insertion and
tucked linen. with deep bertha of insertion
elbow sleeves were also finished with the
edging and the band which joiT ed skirt and
bodice was oyerlaid with strip of the in
sertion. This design can also be produced
in a heavy quality of linen done in the pop
ular English eyelet work.
Dutch yokes are extremely popular for the
little party dresses. and there is practically
no end to the fabrics to be employed. There

The Smart petticoat.

There is a general demand just now for
taffeta pettieoats. and the chameleon taffe-
ia in three distinct shades or tones is be-
coming increasingly popular. One of the
fancies Of the moment, however, is to have
petticoat in the same color as the gown
and consequently to ring the changes with
each change of costume. Some beautiful
petticoats are of brown taffeta with print
ed flower designs in delicate tones of pink
and blue, vandyked border consisting of
four rows of narrow ribbon velvet COM
plotting the effect.

Pretty and Useful.

Glass candlesticks and lamps are in much
greater variety than is usually found, and
both in cut and pressed glass are pretty and
useful
Nothing better, that is inexpensive also,
can be found for lighting a dining table
than these same glass affairs, candles be-
ing the simplest and lamps perhaps the
most satisfactory in the long run.
For country house use they are much
liked and give a charm to even a single
able that no other one thing can impart
All talle-pressed glass IS SO superior to
that of few years ago that it Is pre-
ferred BY some people to cut glass, even
when the difference in price has not to en-
ter into the question, the so-called colonial
designs being the best choice decidedly, and
while many of the same shapes come in
cut glass also, 1t would seem that more in
genuity is displayed in the cheaper forms.
Basketry Art.
In basketry there is new departure this
season, and color is rampant, especially in
the tall waste paper baskets the open
weave. like cane-seated chairs, is put
over a solid green or red background, and
cctagonal shaped baskets have a many
hued coloring that is strongly Japanesque
in style ard reminds one of sections Of
their gayest umbrellas.
One wonders what tastes will like these
gaudy, tawdry articles, when there is ev-
erything desirable in quiet colors and
pleasing weaves, but doubtless they will be
in great demand for holiday offerings, and
the supply may even fall short, for here
are the much-sought-after novelties and
with some people whatever is newest is
most to be wished for, no matter If in
trinisically it is of no artistic value what
ever.

In these days of luxurious costuming and
bare heads for theater and concert the i'm
portance of the couture cannot be set
aside 1t is not sufficient to have the hair
clean, well brushed and arranged with
moderate degree Of becomingness. The
head which sets off a smart gown must
match it in elaboration and show smooth
and regular waves, puffs. coils and braids,
all to be raised from the Uranium in way
to suggest a dainty wig. To accomplish
this professional fingers are required, and
now, as in the olden days, previous to all
smart evening functions, the hairdresser
goes from door to door to coax rebelllous
locks into wonderful structures.
False pieces are required for the ma
ioritv of heads and such bits go under the
general titles of the transformation, the
Partisan parting and the regent DIP. Inc
pieces are made up with an indescribable
iightness and for the most part to order.
Many of them mingle with the natural mar
in a most deceiving way. There Is never a

matted palpably unnatural rats, all

Written for The Evening Star. #.
The advancing season brings the new and
fresh, in all lines of commercial life, with
the climax to be reached as the holidays
draw nearer when the point and object of
each display will be to catch the fancy Of
the purchaser of holiday gifts.
The custom is so universal and wide
spread that it is the handspring of shop
ping after the LIST of December, and no
curtailment may be expected this season
of 1904.
OF course every one is already on the
lookout for something new, something diff
ferent," and this craving is the cause OF
the desire on the part of manufacturers to
produce novelties, and consequently with a
dearth of inspiration, some very inartistic
and ugly things are perpetrated by design
ers who lack the taste and skill to do bet
ter work, and there seems a flood this sea-
son of the outcome of such ideas.

Are Called Bizarre.

The art nouveau" of continental Europe
seems to have Influenced the form of many
things decorative, and it is to be feared
that the displays of foreign countries Of
household art at the st. Louis exposition
will give further impetus to this move
ment, which. if carried a bit too far. be-
comes bizarre and very unpleasing to re-
fined taste.
The professed followers of this art nou-
veau craze in this country have only sue
ceeded in producing very unprepossessing
things when furniture is in question, and
examples of interiors as pictured in var
ious magazines are as unhomelike as rooms
could be made when an exclusive use of
such designs are carried out, the wood
work usually following the same general
idea.
Glass, china, silver, all are much utilized
for useful and purely decorative articles on
these lines, but never with happy result, to
my taste at least.
