The Woes of the

A couple Of days ago a Very Small

miles to his grandmother's.

NeU BlouSeS TO
Open IN Front

A number OF pretty blouses, trimmed
with embroidery and lace have recently
made their appearance, and a return to
the shirt waist opening In the front Is
heralded BY the Marie Antoinette mod
els These have tiny plated frllls ar
ranged upon either side of a boxplait
covering the opening OF the waist. In
some instances the front frills have
their edges cut in deep-pointed scaIlops
and then embroidered in tiny scallops
with colored threads. Little embroidered
dots are then set in these scallops and
form a border 10 the frills.
The close high collar is finely tucked
and embroidered 10 match the fril, and
a little lingerie bow embroidered in the
same fashion Is set at the head Of the
frilL The sleeves are rather full and
reach well below the elbow, being nm
lshed With an embroidered turn-back
The blouse that buttons down the back
will not relinquish the place Il has held
IN popular favor for the past few sea-
fortunately for IL, there are hosts OF
women who prefer this style, despite
the Inconvenience Of getting II fastened
and unfastened without the aid Of an
other person All Of the new pongee
blouses, embroidered in self-color. are
buttoned down the back and show ell
bow sleeves, while for their trimming
Valenciennes, cluny, and mechlin lace
are used profusely in connection with
embroidery.
These waists look particularly well
with shantung skirts, and women OF
fashion are securing them beneath
charming girdles OF brown and other
dark-toned silks, finished with tortoise
shell buckles The giFdle Is asserting
itself as an important detail in the sum
mer WOman's wardrobe, and Il Is sur
prising how many novelties-reaI nov
elties-are rung in upon ideas that are
really old, II we take time 10 dissect
them. This Is particularly true OF elastic
belts, which have departed from the
familiar black and white effects and
now show themselves in light biscuit,
sand color, putty, and ecru, in combina-
ton with tiny, little fancy buttons and
steel beads.

Children's hats for fail wear are ex-
ceedingly attractive this season; in fact
some Of the new models are so danny
and pretty that they look like the fluffy
lingerie creations that have been used
all summer. The shapes are on the
same lines, the only apparent differences
Is in the braid and cloth substituted
for the lawn and lace.
One particularly fetching piece of
headwear is OF white felt, ana is in
tended for wear with a coat Of white
broadcloth. A wire frame is provided,
and the under part OF the brim covered
with shirred shell pink chiffon, The up
per brlm is also covered with the chif-
ton just frilled on, and friI Of pleated
Naleneiennes lace. two inches wide, Is
laid around the edge. It does not fan
over.
The covering OF the brim proper is
OF the white felt, cut TO lay on the
brim perfectly fat The outer edge is
CUT out Ia very shallow rounds, which
are edged with white fiber braid, having
tHe draw string, and one inch or less
This is Topped as each scaTlop Is

cute-lOoking Tam o'Shanter OF white
felt stamped for braiding with soutache
IL VIII look well for a two-year-old boy.
Inc band OF the cap is TO be trimmed
with four rows of the braid and the
rosettes covering the ears are Of white
RIBBON. Soutache will be used more
than ever this year, and as braiding is
within the skill of the average sewer,
much might be saved by braiding little
hats, coats, and similar garments at
home, even though they must be sent
20 a professional to be made up.
THESE hats are much more practical
than may be imagined from the de-
scTiption, though, Of course, they are
only intended for best or for the Same
wear that the lingerie hat gets during
the summer. September seems rather
early TO don the winter hat, and these
cloth creations are just the thing TO
come between the soiIed. fadeS ba} ~
summer and the darker, more substan-
uaI chapeau designed for winter.

Back Of his splendid song, o think Of
the songs unsungt
Back OF his PAINTED dreams, the dream
that he never reVealsi
Behind each lyric Of rapture
The songs that he cannot capture
Save Tor his own delight. TO keep his

But the songs that he never can sing
Children created Of one glad song tell

Some day they shall be uttered
When far his soul has fiuttered

As the weather is somewhat cold the
sugar business is at Stauistill.
The listers have finished their work
for another year, aud report having a
good time, all parties being satisfied
with their work. On account of some
Witling differences which might be mem
toned, Dolly Warden, or the lady that
met with the accident ON her way from
Concord some three Yeas ago, when
MessrS Nolan and Littlejohn went to
the rescue, came down on one of our
listers as he approached the house, with
a pickpole and whirIwind OF clubs,
old chairs, and whatever came handy.
The lister, knowing that living coward
was better than a dead hero, took leg
bail and left the scene of turmoil and
