Fashions for the Children

great favorite, and colored pom gee with white null sleeves and neck CT makes a most attractive and cool pongee had for trimming small white pearl buttons. repeating the white of neck and sleeves in a pleasing manner. Young maids follow their mothers in wearing black with whito' and with their white linen dresses af- feet black hair ribbons, black hose and shoes. They also show . liking for the pretty black and white striped wools and mohairs with pipings of black silk.
 Pretty colored linen dresses amany are worn by girls in their teens, and the lingerie dress Is reserved for state occasions. The one-piece dresses are preferred, and with yoke. cuffs and girdle of lacey insertion they are so dainty and filmy. Fine materials reign. and simplicity. Null is la vorite, worn as 1t has not been for some time past
 Summer coats for misses are plain enough to be remarked-usually donned only for outing occasions. where the clever young Women know it would be suicidal to wear anything ornate. There are also some very plain white linens and serges, and tho pongee coat is made like these, minus trimming. The elaborate bolero is affected by some young girls. but looks fussy and as though the wearer was in too much of hurry to grow up.
 The white lingerie party dress may be all white or combined with colors. One excellent model recently brought to our notice was frock of white embroidery whose wide crushed girdle shaded from palest lemon to deep or ange. A fetching hAt with this would be a lacey straw in burnt-orange shade.
 Again speaking of misses coats, we would mention the loose long coats of striped black and white mohair. Some of these are considerably trimmed, have deep revers of black taffeta, black braiding a2d fancy but tons. They look very pretty on a cool summer evening. and are fancy enough for any occasion. simple enough for almost any occasion.
 The lingerie hats multiply daily and daily grow prettier The other day a little girl passed by with the daintiest one yet seen. pink null. light as thistledown. fresh as pink rose. It was shirred to fit the crown pretty close, and the trimming was a single white baby rose pinned on here and there apparently at hap. hazard. the stem sticking out straight with apparent awkwardness that pres- ently resolved itself into unconscious grace. The color of the hat lent a glow to the baby face that was ex. Quisite.

Mammas wear pink as they have not employed this rosy color in many long year, and the wee girls fol low the lead of the mammas. With out question, with better result-for pink is not always kindly when years have piled up. It is very love ly. however, against the peaches and cream. the fascinating smoothness. of child's skin; and the little maids in pink add not a little to the sum mer beauty.
 Tho frock may be simple pink lawn. lace-trimmed China silk-the kind of material does not make a great deel of difference. Get the right shade and shade and material that will bear tubbing, and make the frock with short sleeves and round neck. Baby arms and baby. neck are so pretty, should not be concealed.

This season the athletic girl need not push back her sleeves In untidy scrubwoman fashion, or turn down her collar in like manner when bent on vigorous play. The waist variously denominated-Peter Pan, tennis, golf negligee-eolves the problem for her It has roll-back cuffs and three-quar ter sleeves, and comfortable lay-down collar. With the Peter Pan the sum. mer girl may enter into vigorous play and yet keep that fresh daintiness SC admirable for dainty femininity.
 And the athletic girl of the moment is distinctly feminine, mannishness has retired into the background-foI which we should all be thankful. This season a girl need not stride as though determined to proclaim herself athletic" need not exhibit brawny arms to advertise prowess in the field need rot drag a bag of heavy clubs as sign of modernness. The girl that ex- ercises is now an accepted fact, the time passed for assertion of disputed point. And her dress has become more temperate. less explosive.
 It was in America the sensible shor, skirt came to its own, 1t was in America the shirt-waist first saw the light of day: and these have fiourished in spite of ridicule by the French woman, exaggeration by the English woman. And are not these the founda- tons of the outing dress. taken to- gethe. with thick-soled shoes and cool shade-hat7 Almost any woman can build up a presentable outing rig from amoag the articles in her wardrobe: il is the few that go in for a costume devoted exclusively to outdoor sports.
 Probably you have a short skirt in your wardrobe. then add to it a ten his VI ist such as we have described, and there the froek Is provided for. A plain sailor is an appropriate hat to wear with this. and the sailor to-day very much in style.
 If buying new dress we would ad- wise short skirt and jacket that may be vcrn open or closed. After stren- uous exercise the snug jacket Is often needed. and it Is also well to provide for sudden changes of temperature. es- peciaI,y if one Is on on a camping or walking trip. Two styles of shirt waists are especially appropriate. the Peter Pan and the plain linen waist with long sleeves. There Is liking at pres ent to make the latter severely plain. without plsifs or any fullness at all. A small pocket on one or both sides is allowed. otherwise the waist is quite

Delaware senatorship) 1 $35 vote-then Addicks lost his hold.
 The rise and fall of J. B. Addicks as political potentate is an inter- esting story. His entry into Della ware some Il years ago was unosten- tatious. He alighted from the Bos- ton express at Dover and walked into the Hotel Richardson. With him were two others. They mingled with the great throng of Republicans. They had arrived at time when the leg islature was deadlocked on the ques- tion of United States senator. There was one vacancy to be filled. No one noticed the three men. The members of the state senate were too much occupied with the deadlock for that. The trio hunted up the newspa- per correspondents. J. Edward Ad- dicks was introduced as Delawarean and Republican willing to step into the breach and become a compromise candidate for the vacant senatorship. He, was good-natured, bluff sort of man. His anxiety to serve was duly set forth in the morning papers.
 It was in this wise that Addicks- Gas Addicks," "The Napoleon of Cas-" as he was variously termed-be- gan his political career-a career that caused political upheaval. a cry from all sides: Away with this man! He Is corrupting the state."
 But Addicks had nerve. He fought on. He got control of the Republican machine and sent delegates to the St. Louis convention of 1SS6. His oppo- nents also sent delegates. The latter were seated.
 The anti-Addicks men were defeated ln the Philadelphia convention when Mckinley and Roosevelt were nomi- mated. Hanna opposed the regulars, and President Roosevelt has since taken this view.
 This did not prevent Addicks meet Ing another defeat for the United States senstorship in 1900.
 Addicks has carried the fight along ever since only to meet defeat. Now he is down and out for good.
