On any bright day in the early rail-

! more fashionably dressed little people
than may be found in any other city
on the globe. Some are from the Woriu

Others Just as smartly If not SO richly

and hundreds Of happy little ragamu1-

with never fear OF being kidnapped.
On one Of the cool days last week an
independent little Eoungster ana MS

two very styliShs square brass buckles.
With the coat was worn dark blue
Napoleon shaped felt hat, with rib
bon rosette and quill trimming in front,
the very pointed ends being ornament

A FASEIONABLY GOWNED YOUNG MISS.
black chiffon, interlined with silk, fitted
smoothly over the hips and fared be-
comingiy at the bottom. With her was
fresh young girl in a dainty lace
robe frocl1 OF white with sprays of
pink buds made OF ribbon appliuued
upon the lace and tied with ribbon
bowknots. The bodice of this gown
was trimmed with corresponding
sprays OF pink buds, and there was a
bunch on the top of the sleeves com
bined with ribbon boWknots. Particu-
larry fetching are these lace robes this
season for dinner theater or evening
froci1. An attractive feature about
them is the fact that they are brought
out in the shops SeDlin,aGe, requiring
only a little ingenuity to fashion them
into artistic toilets. The material pro
vides for an ample gown, pieces for the
bodice and sleeves being separate.
For the debutante and quite young
woman dancing frocks Of Lierre lace
are dainty and youthful looking. Some
of these come with graduated f!ounces
all ready around the skirt pattern and
bodice trimming for surplice effect.
These gowns are so easily constructed
that they may be made at home, which
materially lessons the expense in
volved. There are exquisite patterns,
simple and reasonable in price, with
medallions scattered at intervals
throughout The skirt portions, having
a decidedly circular tendency, are held
out around the bottom by the ruffied
and chiffon trimmed petticoat.
School girls in their teens and their
younger sisters are wearing becoming
sailor suits more than ever this fall
These are made of the regulation navy
blue and other colors, with sailor blouse
and collar and soft silk ties knotted in
front. On the sleeve and shield the IN
sigma is worked in colored silk, and
rollege girls are embroidering a mono
gram on the left sleeve Of their blouses.
Black and white checks make smart
little sailor suits, trimmed with wide
black Hercules braid, finished with
narrower width braid of bright red or
blue on the inside. 4 pretty checked
suit for a tiny girl was a two piece
suit, the plated skirt being attached to
little waist. The sailor blouse. with
deep collar, was trimmed with red and
black braid, with an emblem embroi-
dered in red and black on the shield
and sleeve. There were two rows Of
brass buttons down the front. and a
soft black tie was tied in sailor knot
beneath the collar.

4 Story of Jean Bart, an Old Time
French Naval Officer.


Jean Bart, a French naval COM
mander Of the last part of the sew
enteenth century, was at one time
ordered to convey the Prince de
Cont, a candidate for the throne of
Poland, to Dantzic, voyage fraught
with danger, as his vessel must pass
through the waters where were
cruising the hostile fleets of the
English and Dutch. During the
passage the little squadron was
chased by the enemy, and Bart, sas
soon as they were reported, called
his little son to him and gave hA
whispered instructions. The pursuit
continued for eight hours, and. at
the end of that time the enemy was
no longer in sight. Then Bart went
down into the cabin, where the
prince had been sitting in ignorance
of the days excitement.
"1 ou've had a narrow escape,
monseigneur," said he.
"What do you mean?" asked the
prince.
Why" answered Bart, chat
we've been chased by three eight
gun ships and nine frigates. We've
run them out of sight, and there's
nothing to fear"
But, NJ. Bart, if they had taken
u.s."
ooh, monseigneur, that was quite
impossible"
"Eh! What? Why impossible ?"
Because" answered Bart, II had
stationed my brave son, my Cornil,
in the gunroom with a lighted
match and strict orders to put it
into the powder if we should be
overpowered."
'What!" cried the prince. ''You
would never have done such a
thing?"
''Certainly I would have done it,"
said Bart. at shall never be said
that l allowed you to be taken when
the king ordered me to take care
that you were not"
Perhaps the prince himself might
have preferred prosaic surrender to
the doubtful glory Of being blown
