FASHIONS FOR CHILDREN.

Several lines are always good; the pleated blouse and skirt or the one-pieee pleated froek with patent-leather bet slipped through narrow bands of pique or embroidery is always popular, says Harper's Bazar. When 1t is desired to have more elaboration, embroidery done on the material itself is seen on the mid dle pleat or on the collar and cuffs with their pretty scalloped edges.
 In lighter materials are the dainty froelxs of fine lawn or null with the entre- deux and narrow edging of Yalenciennes For the party froel' this is now worn over a colored lining, although very con- servative mothers still cling to the idea that all white is the most attractive for tiny children. and if color is desired, then it can be added in the sash; for sashes are immensely fashionable, be it well under stood.
 The froeks of this description or made to be worn with guimpe or low neck and short sleeves, or are made high in the neck and with elbow sleeves.
 Many of the pique froeks seen almost like coats, and were undoubtedly origi nally intended for that purpose; the same models will be found charming in cloth and serge.

 Mrs. Martha Gielow of Alabama, who resides in Washington and New York, delighted the sumer colony of Co., burg on Friday evening last with one of the most delightful entertainments ever listened to in this town. So delighted, indeed. was the large audience that gath cred in the Arlington drawing room to hear this gifted lady that by unanimous request she was persuaded to give an- other recital last evening in St. Peter Sunday school where her charming stories and songs gave intense satisfaction to a most enthusiastic audience Mrs. Gle low possesses no ordinary gift.

With a charming personality and a voice, as the Boston critic says, 'sweeter than strained honey, this little southern lady has won all Co., burg, and socially and artistleally she Is the pet of the hour.
 Mrs Gelow is from Greensboro, Ala, and is the author of Old Plantation Days Mammy's "Reminiscences, and other volumes of stories and poems. Her endeavor to preserve the traditions of the southland, the memory of the old mammy so soon to become extinct, the supersti- tions, the folklore and songs of the old plantation days now gone, Is of great his toric value, and of intense interest. Mrs. Gielow Is a student of the Hawn School
