Such a fancy blouse as this one has
almost innumerable uses. IL is en-

blouse or garniture is made Of imi-
tation Irish crochet aDd 10 edged
with pale green velvet banding, while
the blouse is Of a pretty simple net
that matches the skirt. The droop-
ing shoulders give the broad shoulder
line which is fashionable, and which
is always becoming to girllsh cures,
while the sleeves OF the guimpe are
charming under them. Almost num-
berless suggestions might be made as
TO material and combinations. At
the present moment pretty simple
silks, yelling and the like are much
In demand, and any one OF these can
be made with skirt and garniture TO
match while the gulmpe is Of muslin
or OF lace and a little later such
garniture as this cut from heavy
linen and finished with a scalloped

1t is simple in the extreme. In the
illustration 1t is made with cape
collar and this feature is an attrac-
tive one, but it is not obligatory and
the neck can be finished with SIM
pie straight standing collar If liked,
and, again, there is a choice of long
or elbow sleeves As illustrated ring
dotted batiste is trimmed with en-
broidered banding, but all the pretty
cambrics and dimities Of the SUNNI ~
are charming so made, while also
light weight flannel cashmere and
flannelette would be equally appro-

The dressing sacque Is made with
the fronts and back. The back is
plain but the fronts are tucked at
the shoulders and are finished with
hens. The cape collar is arranged
over the sacque and can be finished
as illustrated or with the standing
collar; also rrbetter liked the stand
ing collar can be used alone. The
sleeves are the simple ones gathered
at the upper and lower edges and
finished with band cuffs. A belt or
ribbon confines the fulness at the
waist line.
The quantity OF material required

Something New in Poetry.

or course literary judgments are
always subject to revision, but 1t
really seems that Miss Vivian Wade
(aged thirteen years. has laid the
cornerstone OF a new school of poetry
by the following stanzas, entitled:
THE RAG DOLL.
She was my best rag dollie,
The last one that mother had made,
With eyes that were blue as the heavens
And nose and mouth made of red ink.
Her hair was as black as ebony
And clustered around her white face,
And she had the wee blt of a smile
That lasted all the day through.
She had curve on her lip that was per
feet
And ears that were tiny and pink.
But she's gone
My poor, old rag dollie--
She's gone IN the queerest way:
| laid her on chair
On the piazza. snugly and comfortably, too,
And after the kitty had been tended
And after the dog had been fed,
| went 10 get my rag dolle,
But To- she wasn't there.

For the loss of my dear rag doll.
For close by the chair where | had left her
