the reader to supnf . rv. | were to receive attention. |. let us make provision for the very small lad die, the one so young as to have just got into his first knickers. Over these garments will be worn trim little tunic (note illustration) double breasted, fastening down the side with disclose white flannel shield. The belt may be of white kid and the stitched facing of white. If white is not thought practical, color contrast ing well with the material O. the tunic should be chosen for shield and the trimmings.
 The Russian blouse for small boys is longer than it used to be. and for the boy over five there is decided tendency to make use of the sailor rsuit. The wearer likes it better. too, is picturesque For the winter party there may be worn oyer good thick un. derwear the pretty white suit of lass sum mmer--if it is still large enough. One recently brought to our notice was of white linen with collar of pale blue linen, and there were black silk tabs in front which tied with white cord. A fetching sailor suit had colored trousers with white blouse, the collar, tie and anchors the color of the trous. CTS.
 Now let us speak of frocks for the larger girls. For school wear there are such fine plaids this season, the in. visible ones especially good. We thor oughly liked the design displayed at one of the good shops. and thought how effective the dress and how easily 1t could be copied by the home dressmak- CT. It was of blue and brown plaid serge, the skirt kilt. The waist had g box-plaited back and front, and the plait at either side the middle plait was ornamented with small fancy but tons. There was pointed yoke of the plaid, over which the shoulder plaits crossed, and from the point of which the middle plait began. A green leath. CT belt and neat turnover collar com. pleted the frock.
 An equally attractive little dress was of green and white checked tweed piped with white cloth. This skirt was made with broad plait and mar row alternating, the effect that of a broad panel and set-in plait; there was chemisette of white cloth, and broad bands of piped tweed. the waist had a narrow vest of the tweed piped where it fastened in the middle. broad band of piped tweed came from the shoul- der down either slda of the vest. these bands decorated with small white but. tons. The sleeves were puffy above the elbow, and where the long close cuif met the uppers was a band of piped tweed. The collar also was piped.

FOR BOY AND GIRL.

Red is the color for the children this year, and as rule it is very be- coming; agrees well with sunny hair, is not too startling for brown-eyed lassie. Other colors in favor are the pale blues, faint green and of course white. White for best is ever the taste.
 Pique and thin materials over col ored slips are employed for these dresses, and the latter has much style about it. But speaking of smartness with reference to children's clothes, we recently, in the publication called Style and the American Dressmaker," came across a design which seemed to us particularly fetching; it is reproduced in the accompanying illustration. The frock is red chalie trimmed with vel. vet ribbon of shade matching, and de- signed for a child from four to six years of age.
 As rule, little girls dresses are va riations on just two models; the one by belt passing through straps; and the plaited blouse and skirt A bolero effect may be given. as in the illustra. tion, with no undue fussiness, but generally the simpler the little dress the better. Square and round yokes give a change, and we have in mind nice model for the child too young to don the two-piece frock; there is a square neck effect in the gimp of white, and the under sleeves are also of white; the frock Is natty check wool made up in rather wide box plaits, one down the middle of the front, commencing at the square neck, one each side starting from the shoul- der; the plaits left free and full at the long waist line ~..2., J.
 Challie, cashmere. henrietta and mo hair are the materials selected for children's dresses, and generally they are made so as. to be tubbable; dainti. ness is the keynote in the clothes of baby, too, and such lovely lovely things are to be seen nowadays in the layette. A novelty in an infant wrap pcI ID NuAleu oLlh, Iuc SOlOi WndlSfcI delicate shade Is desired, the tufting affording a delicate contrast The use full and conventional flannel wrapper is very pretty flower embroidered and the scallops button-holed by hand. A cream flannel Good and cape affair adorned with forget-me-nots is lovely. and a cream grosgrain silk cloak and cap sufficiently beautiful with no oth. CT trimming than lace. If some partic- ular color is made use of for the par. ticular baby, the little kid shoes may be of that color rather than white
 The sofe moccasins are nice and warm, and the ones now on sale are very pretty. .....

IRISH LADIES' CHOIR.

A very small audience in the after noon and an enthusiastic and numeri- cally much greater one in the evening witnessed the two entertainments fur niShed by the much advertised Irish Ladies' Choir at Poli's theater yes terday It is difficult to criticise a choir heralded as this one was be- cause you might not be doing justice to the promoters nor to the ladies who constituted the choir. The only real harsh criticism that could be given was on the amount of guarantee which the organizers forced the Hendricken council to give up. If the amount re- ported last night in the lobby of the theater is correct, then the gold brick schemes are not all dead. Hendricken council acted in good faith and they carried out every promise they made the public, but the entertainment was not all that could be desired. Per haps too much was expected from a chorus of only twenty voices. The volume was lacking. but what singing the chorus did seemed to he the work of careful instruction and excellent drilling. Many of the songs were old and familiar ones to most of the audi ence and they were thoroughly en- joyed. The solo singing was very well done and some of the old catchy Irish airs made the audiehce feel more like applauding. and they did on every oc- casion offered. The gems of the, en- tertainment. however. were the violin solo by Miss Madge Murphy and the harp solo by Miss Violet Kelly. Both were exceedingly well done and re- celved enthusiastic encores. In fact. the violin playing in particular so en- tranced the audience that they were 10th to let the young lady quit the stage. Miss Jamie Jellie would have been better appreciated in her piano solo had the instrument been moved further down the stage. II was alto gether too far in the rear for the sounds Of the piano to he appreciated. All in all the entertainment scored a success.

Corey Controversy Develops Unfq9e

 PITTSBURG, Dec. 11.-With all it's remarkable complications, a new human interest phase was added to the Corey case when it became fully known that while one of the sisters of the president of the United States Steel corporation is in Reno.

 It has long been known that Miss Ada Corey sided with her slster-in-law from the start of the trouble, and. al- though her brother has been good to her in financial way, she sacrificed everything and gave her moral support to the deserted wife. She is with her now, and all the money of her million alre brother cannot tempt her away.
 The other sister. who is in the French capital. is Mrs. Elizabeth Riggs. who ls known among the members of her fam fly and her Intimates as Bird" For more than a year Mrs. Riggs has been in Paris and of late has been the con- stant companion and adviser of Mss Gilman. Mrs. Riggs has no sympathy for Mrs. Corey and would heartily like to see her brother divorced, SO that he would be free to marry the dashing comic opera star Both women have been studying under Jean de Reszke.
 It became definitely known that Co., rey was asked six months ago to resign from the head of the steel corporation. At that time he had been charged with indiseretions which the directors of the steel corporation considered were not in keeping with the dignity of the posi- ton Corey held down.

Winter Blouse and Shirt Waist

Heavy tub waists are well to the fore. and for matinee and dressy wear the sheerest lingerie blouse remains in favor. The former keeps its fresh ness better than the latter, is to be pre- ferred for shopping and such mat ters. A chiffon blouse the shade of the skirt Is ultra, and as pretty a fashion as can be; this kind of waist cleans nicely. some can even be washed.
 The shirt waists are plain and not too snug. an easy At again the thing in both waist and bodice. A style much esteemed has central box plaIt down the front. and double box plaits at each side: the back may be plain. or have a shirt yoke below which double box plait extends down the middle. On the front side plaits pockets may be set. pocket flap and front plait oTna- mented with pearl buttons.
