cHILDREN's SPRING STYLES.
Charming Possibilities In Material Pre-.
scented Despite Simplicity.


Simplicity should characterize the
dresses for children but even with this
always in view charming possibilities
may be developed in planning and com
pleting these little frocks. Wash ma
terial is usually selected for the young
er children from one to two years of
age. Those made with Jokes are the
preferred styles for little girls and are
very daintily made with tucks and
lace. Little Gretchen dresses are also
shown on empire lines. Both long and
short sleeves are shown IN these and
the materials generally used are Per
sian lawns, nainsooks and barred dimi-
ties. For little boys the pleated dress
all in one suit are considered correct
They are Russian blouse effect, some
are trimmed with embroidery bands
and have Dutch neck, and short
sleeves for midsummer. For older
children from two to six years, waist
dresses are fast taking the place of the
French frocks, which were shown two
seasons ago. They are made very
plaits stitched close together worn
with broad sash to define the waist
line are very good The short pulled
sleeves gathered into lace-frilled bands
are pretty and the lower edge of the
skirt is either hemstitched or trimmed
with insertion above the hem. The
material Is usually dotted Swiss, Per.
sian lawns or checked dimities. These
dresses range in price from $3.50 to
SIS. Bonnets for little folks come in
endless variety. There is the plain lit,
tie French cap for the tiny babe but
for the child about year old the swell
thing is the little turban made of
shirred null or dotted swiss. They
also come in straw with trimmings of
lace, large ribbon bows and flowers.
The flowers are in every conceivable
color and variety, perhaps the daintiest
are the for-get-me-nots and the French
roses. Very catchy are the poke bon
nets with embroidered frllls, bows of
ribbons and flowers. They also come
in straw, similarly trimmed The
wash hats are shown in sizes from in,
fants to misses. They are made OF
| piques embroidered swisses and mulls
with pretty lace trimmings. Most OF
the hats this season come with the
buttoned crowns, making them abso
lutely washable
Some of the washable coats for the
children one and two years old are
very beautiful having handsome hand
embroidered cuffs and collars. The
coats are made of fine piques and lin
ems and are shown in most of the deli
cate tints.
Many attractive shoes are shown
| this season for the children. They
come in colors, whites, tans and blues
The preferred styles are the one and
two strapped sandals. The barefoot

There are things about this country

SHIRTS, COLLARS AND CUFFS.
Comfort is Given as Well as Style in
New DESIGNS.

New Designs.
In shirts veritable wealth of
styles, patterns and colors are offered,
any one of which will prove season
able, and ii is to be strictly a season
of color effects. All the seven cardi-
nal colors have been used in more
than fifty'seven varieties of shades
both gaudy and suhdued The negli-
ge shirt is to be more popular than
ever during the rush seasons of the
last few years and the stiff shirt has
apparently lost its adherents, as but
few will be worn or shown.
Pleated bosoms will be more in IA
vor than ever, but the pleats will be
much smaller than was the case last
year. when wide box plaits were the
vogue. The present styles are of very
narrow knife plaits and practically
make the shirts of one thickness of
mate al, which will be highly appre-
ciated by the wearer with the advent
of warmer weather.
The implicated shirt will also be
worn more than ever, as It's comfort
is OF unquestioned value, and dainty
enects in thin goods are being shown
that will no doubt be much the fash
ion as the season advances.
In the realm of colors the manufac-
turer has apparently expended his
greatest effort and the colors shown in
| shirts rival the renowned coat of 10
seph. White as background, with
small figures, stripes or squares. will
be very much in favor and what is
known to the trade as self-colors or
figures OF the same color as the body
OF the garment, will suffer lack of ap
| probation on account of the MANY
bright hues shown.
1t is also evident that bright pink
heliotrope and blue skirts will be worn
by many discerning dressers, but
brown hues will be eschewed.

Cuffs and Collars.

ascendancy and some novelties are
being shown in the way of reversed

A CAMPAIGN OF PERSISTENT EFFORT,

The days OF hurrah campaigns are pass
ing in this part of the World, if, indeed,
they have not entirely gone to mingle
with the dim past. In this day and gen.
Grafton men do their own thinking more
than in former times and, in consequence
their acts are dictated more by reason and
less by prejudice, they flow rather from
what each individual thinks and less from
what their neighbors think.
In the present campaign, largely be
cause Of the facts above stated, it is the
duty of every Democrat to lose no &C.
casion to discuss with his neighbcr who
happens to be of Independent proclivities,
or weak in his allegiance to the Democracy,
with any, in fact except hopeless case and
dyed -in-the wool Republicans, the issues
which will be the principal features in
this campaign.
The Republican leaders and speakers
are making play to the galleries by talk
ing about the oyster question. the tax
rate, and the system now in vogue of col
lecting taxes.
So far as the Hannah bill is concerned,
while It was passed by Legislature the
majority in which was Democratic, it was
the work of Republicans as well as Demo
Gratis, and, when the number of represen-
tatives of both parties is considered, prob
ably more the act of the former than the
latter. Democratic representatives from
this county consistently and successfully
opposed the passage of the measure, and
the only vote the bill ever received from
q representative from Dorchester county
was that of Republican.
In regard to the tax rate, while it is
unQuestionably high, perusal OF the
treasurer's statement, which is published
every year, will show that all the money
has been judiciously and economically
expended and that the taxpayers have
gotten their moneys worth. One thing is
certain, Republican as well as Democratic
taxpayers have been members of the dele
cations which from time to time have
come before the County Commissioners
asking money for this or that object, and
we have yet to hear of such taxpayer
who oh jected to money being spent for
Am provements in his district. Pretty
nearly everyone clamors for money for
some purpose, and We are alike guilty, if
there be any crime in our present tax
rate.
As to the county treasurer being made
to collect the taxes, the scheme is at best
one of doubtful utility. 1t might save
something in commissions, but would it
not lose sn even greater amount in the
failure to put on the books the increased
assessments springing from Improvements
and the growth of property values The
size Of the county must be taken into &C.
count in making these calculations.
We commend these things to the con-
sideration of our tax payers between now
and election day.

THOMPSON COLLECTION NOW IN RICHMOND
His Collection Showing Years of Work Is Held by Mrs. Bes
sic Stevens of Fort Wayne Avenue.

Some very good collections Of var
ious objects are held in Richmond,
several of which are more or less well
known among collectors and those
who care for various forms of this
fascinating pastime, notably Mrs. Du-
Hadway's collection Of old china, Mr..
J. r. Millers lockwood Miss Whites
bookplates, Mr.. J. E. lifts old books
which he presented a few years ago
to the Earlham library and one or two
others. Among these, however, n mis-
cellaneous collection of objects of art,
furniture, etc, belonging to Mrs. Bes-
sic Stevens of Ft. Wayne Avenue. in
herited from an uncle. is not so gen
orally known, and possesses added in
terest on account of the personality
Of the collector.
Mr.. Charles w. Thompson was one
Of these unique indiyidualities, often
found in large cities where the oppor-
tunity more frequently presents it
self for the picking up Of odd or cur
1ous things, who haunt old book and
curio shops and who, not caring for
any specialized form Of collecting,
bring together a lot of objects of art
OF one sort and another which often
have more decorative than absolutely
Intrinsic value.
Mr.. Thompson was theatrical cos
tuner although he confined his activ-
tiles to designing, his designs being
carried into effect by clever artisans,
and through the medium of his bust
ness, came in contact with many not
abilities, and others not SO conspic-
uous, in the dramatic profession. His
acquaintance was wide and, in the
matter of collecting his fancy rowing,
and while he accumulated many

things that possess mere purely per-
sonal color, there are many odd and
charming knickknacks among them,
with some others of considerable val
ne. Mr.. Thompson had a taste for
worries and possessed collection of
small figures deliberately carved, with
a few miniatures, only one or two of
which We're brought by Mrs Stevens
from New York, where Mr.. Thompson
recently died.
Mr. Thompson was native of Gin
cinnati, but later went to Chicago and
New York, having had a residence in
the latter city for many years where
he picked up a major portion OF the
things which took his fancy. The best
of the collection consists in several
solid mahogany chairs, hand-carved,
with a table and one or two other
pieces of furniture in the same wood;
a few Water-colors of the old school,
one or two French prints, some fine
steel engravings, two small tapestries,
the worries before referred to, with
some oriental ware and porcelains,
terra cottas and the like.
1t was the personality or the man
that gave the whole character, howev-
err He began designing when child
and not the least interesting OF Mrs.
Stevens's possessions is a small box
in which are kept doll clothes and hats,
some adorned with bits of real lace
for Mr. Thompson had passion for
laces-whch indicated the ingenuity
that later developed into so strong an
art sense. Some vases nodded and
decorated by Mr.. Thompson himself,
show his strong feeling for decorative
design and the whole is interesting to
those who care for the attractive and
unusual.

New York, Dec. 21.-The Widows

been organized for the last three
months at 60 Spring street. Already
it has forty-five active members and
their fifty-one children as associates

be imagined from the logbook which
records that Mrs. Mabel Rogers, the
first secretary. was married to Wild

AXE FIRE &
Nineteen Concerns in the Busy Town
are Entirely Wiped Out.

Cakes, N. D., Oct. 1s.-Fighting
against terrible odds in the shape of
a heavy wind and the lack of water
supply, the fremen and citizens Of
this town battled for hours to subdue
a fire that threatened to wipe out the
entire business district.
The blaze started in Jessen's mer,,
camille store, spreading rapidly to the
adjoining buildings and soon passed
beyond control. The wind famed the
fire into a roaring river of flame
which swept a. half block on Main
street and then leaped across the
street and destroyed another half
block before it was possible to check
its progress.
The citizens worked frantically to
save the town, but it was not till
several hours after the fire started
that safety was assured.
The blaze started at 1870 in the
morning, and at noon the ruins were
still burning. Nineteen concerns
were burned out, and the total loss
will not be less than $120, 900, with an
insurance not more than One-third.
