broidery comes up in points from the
edge of the skirt. The introduction of
color is not necessary in this gown, but
it is very effective and attractive.
The lace insertings in the skirt termi-
nate in the upper part of the founce
under medallions of lace.
Raised embroidery Is the material en-
ployed in making the bodice of this
gown. It is drawn over a fitted lining
and finished with a pointed front and a
stock and chemisette OF lace.
4 pretty bolero jacket Of open en-
broidery has Il scalloped effect at the
bottom and on the puffed sleeves. Two
folds Of solid embroidery form a collar
coming to point III front. with velvet
loops and buckle at the fastening. On
the shoulder, is Il medallion of lace
edged with a ruffie of embroidery.
\ fitted cuff above the elbow is edged
with an embroidered friH. and is fur
ther embellished with a medallion friu-
ed on the edge and with two little
black velvet bows in the center.
Charming effects in blue and white
pink and white and green, or rnauva and
white can be arranged in this manner
and the gown would also be very pretty
in all white.

and the last row is set just above the
hem About the waist is worn a wide
sash of pcmpadour ribbon with long
ends.
The bodice IS fulled on square yoke
of embroidery, similar to that which
forms the bands around the skirt and
this is attached to a small yoke of trans
parent material, such as lace, beaded
gauze or net or some very sheer material
embroidered. The yoke and stock may
be made of any of these materials.
The outline Of the embroidered band
around the yoke is wayy, almost to a
seaIlop, and one of these scalIops comes
over the top OF the sleeve. a similar
hand of embroidery is set around the
noiddle of the gathered bodice dnd fur
,iehes all the elaboration which it could
require.
The sleeve carries out the prevailing
fashion of a small pun confined to ft-
ted hand at the elbow. It's lower por-
ton is trimmed with an inserted band
of embroidery and small cuff with a
frIlled edge finishes the. sleeve.
4 smart gown, shown in figure D. is
of fine but somewhat heavy linen, made
with a medium long and fitted coat
tbe front the coat is elaborated with
heavy raised embroidery, which grows
more elaborate as II nears the bottom.
There is narrow rolling collar in the
neck of the coat, and II is further en-
beilIshed with little bolero jacket fronts.
The fronts have two overlapping knife
nieated ruffies on the edges, living uDon
a shirt front finished with two little
black bows at the top.
Puffed elbow sleeves are gathered TO a
fitted cuff above the elbow, and this is
edged On the back and along The sides
with frills,
A circular skirt completes this cos
a band OF embroidery above two folds
and above the band, at intervals, are
large appliques of embroidery These
upon the bottom folds Of the skirt.

Folds upon skirts are becoming more
and more popular as their graceful har-
mony is understood They supply the one
color trimming so much in demand,
another trimming which Is becoming
more used is that of knife-pleated bands
and rufties. The anticipating is close
and the bands vary in width and are
edged with Il line or band of some other
material such as the dress goods or
embroidery or even lace, according TO
the fabric upon which the decoration is
used.
There is a good deal of talk about the
think that good courturiers take the
matter seriously. One indication that
they do not lies in the fact that so many
gowns for late summer and early au-
tumn were are made in Princess style,
and cut quite inimical to the hoop skirt.
American women, anyhow, are not such
blind followers of fashion as to adopt a
fad that is neither practical nor becom-
ing nor graceful. Every fad must have
something to recommend 1t in feminine
eyes. and the hoop skirt has nothing.
Even the thin woman does not pine to
hide her anguiarities in this manner.
The fashion of celebrating panels and
fancy effects upon skirts and loading
lowed by some people in some classes
of gowns. such as calling. dinner, and
evening gowns, but the much-trimmed
skirt is not as smart as the simple
one and not nearly IS becoming
There is q species of garniture, how

The thoughtful mother, by a little care
now and then during the summer, can
remedy and prevent the greater part of
what are known as natural defects in
her child.
For instance. there is no need, sur
geons say. that a child should grow up
with a turn-up or tip-tilted nose, no
matter what sort of an organ nature
gave him.
What is, indeed, 4 dear little nose on
the baby will present an unfinished.
ehipped-off appearance when the child
is grown ZIP and its owner would give
much to add a little to the end and ban
ish the tip-tilted effect.
If such nose during babyhood is
gently pulled and stroked between the
fingers, after the bath and several times
daily, it will be but a short time until a
change for the better viii be seenA both
in length and shape. Noses bTokS in
infancy can also be corrected in shape
when they fail 10 set properly. In this
case, however, the advice of a doctor
should be obtained as TO the condition
of the bony structure.
Great things can be done with the
hands also. Short, stubby fingers can
be quite rapidly changed to the taper
ing kind by gently compressing and
stroking them toward the ends. There
are actually thimbles on the market
made to achieve the same result by
squeezing the finger tips into them.
When the nails are short and broad
the skin should always be kept pushed
back from the base of the nail, leaving

to the seeming length and narroWness
of the nail.

The fashion for having dress acces-

WOULD HAVE TOCLOSE DOORS
Normal Appropriations Omitted From
the New Code.

From Saturdays Daily.
The university, normal schools and
state institutions will have to close their
doors, if the new code is passed as
amended by the house. The senate Ju-
dietary committee discovered yesterday
that most if not all of the standing APP
preparations for these institutions have
been omitted from the code.
The discovery was made by Senator
r. r. Brewer of st. Cloud, recently
made member of the committee. Sen
ator Brewer pointed out that the stand
ing appropriations for the normal
schools had been omitted and further
investigation showed that the appropria-
tions for some of the other institutions
were not in the code. The committee
was still on the question when it add
iourned late yesterday afternoon. The
investigation will be continued Tuesday.

HONOR THE CHlLD'S FRIEND
Supt. Olsen Suggests Memorial Exer
cises for Hans Andersen.

From Saturdays Daily.
j. w. Olsen, in circular letter sent
out yesterday to the county and city
superintendents of schools, calls atten-
ton to the fact that April 2 is the
hundredth anniversary of the birthday
of Hans Christian Andersen, and sug-
pests that his name be concentrated
in some way by the school children OF
the state. The state superintendent
says in his letter:
"April 2, 1905, should be a day mem
orable to childhood the world over. 1t
is the centennial birthday of Hans
Christian Andersen, the friend of chill
dren.' whose tales charm and interest
them as they charmed and interested
their mothers and fathers before them.
'Born in the little Danish town OF
Odense. i'm 1905, the son of a gifted but
poor shoemaker, this child of genius,
with homely face and ungainly figure,
but with beautiful voice and still more
beautiful soul, won his way against the
odds of poverty and criticism to recog-
milton that first made education posi-
bic and later made poets and princes
his friends. OF the Wilderness of his fame,
it NAV be sufficient to say that on his
seventeenth birthday he was presented
with a volume containing one OF his
tales told in fifteen languages; and to
the sweetness of his spirit these words
from his autobiography testify: My
life is lovely story, happy and full OF
incident. The history of my
life will say to the world what it says
to me-there is a loving God who di-
reefs all things for the best
Gas it would seem but fitting that the
children in our schools should have the
opportunitv to do honor to the memory
of this great and good man, so peculiar
" their friend, | recommend that since
April 2 this year falls on Sunday part
of either Friday, March 81, or Monday,
