Child's Coat.

The little coat made of lingerie ma
terial is one of the latest whims of
fashion and is exceedingly attractive
for the wee tots. This one is espe-
cfaiiy designed for the f1ouncing in
which 1t is shown, but could be made
from any plain material if the straight
edges are appropriately trimmed, al
though the founcing has certain adj
vantages, notable among which is the
fact that it reduces the labor of max
ing to the minimum. For the very
thin coats batiste is well liked and is
always extremely dainty, but there
are also slightly heavier fiouncings
which can be utilized for the every
day coats, while still palmer gar
ments can be made of the flouneing
that is finished with hemstitching
only or of pique scalloped at the
edges.

managed one of the foremost circuses
In the country.
Bareback riding had just become
popular, and O'Brien, seeing possibili-
ties in that field that had not yet been
attempted, built, his "Ring Barn." by
which name it is still known to the
residents Of frankfort, in order to
keep his company together, and to
create new sensations with which to
startIe the amazed public the next sea-
son.
During these winter months the COM
pany was paid from the proceeds OF
two performances given each week. The
barn was arranged exactly as the regu-
lative one-ringed circus Of to-day. AMI
NAL cages lined the walls on one side
Of the circular building, while ON the
other side were few tiers of seats for
the spectators. At one end was the
public's entrance and ticket Office, and
almost opposite, across the building
was the door where the performers
came into the ring, up an incline which
led from the adjoining barn, where the
stalls for the horses were located, and
where tents and wagons were stored.
Over this entrance was a small bal
cOny for the band.
The place became quite famous as a
winter circus, but it was not until
O'Brien discovered" the famous LA
Wanda Family" that he was able to re-
alize his dreams of daring bareback
feats.

that he accidentally came across a wan

favor. Every suit that appears is al
most sure to sell the material for an
other suit. Pure, clear white is as
charming as it can be, but there is
something especially soft and attrac-
tive about the creamy tint of the
serges. Black velvet always adds a
bright touch to them in the form of
collar, cuffs. etc.. but blue and green
and even red are becoming if in h2r-

Philadelphia has long been consid-
