FOR LITTLE ONES
THREE-PIECE SUITS A FASHION
ABLE COSTUME.

cinating Designs Are Sent
Us from France.

Even the babies are to have three
piece suits for the spring and summer
outfit. OF course, as it is for an in
FAINT, this fashionable costume is not
actually in three pieces, but consists
of frock with short coat to match,
thus filling the place of the woman's
costume with jumper suit and jacket,
or with waist, skirt and jacket.
A touch of the seasons fashions also
to be noted in the baby's attire is the
use of fine soutache braid in white to
trim little frocks and coats instead of
embroidery. For baby in short frocks
most fascinating French costume
shown among the recent importations
is trimmed with this braid. The little
frock was made with tiny skirt of alter
mating bands of batiste trimmed with
the braid and valenciennes insertion.
The tiny baby waist had vertical lines
of the insertion and was also braided.
The frOck was finished with quaint
little turnover collar, quite narrow and
shaped in fine points, and this collar
was also trimmed with the braid.
On either side of the little bodice
were pink rosettes, formed of five
points of satin ribbon, with a satin

Their Consumption Increasing Yearly
>-Imported Ones Suffer:
The consumption OF European wines
in America shows a slight increase in
the last year, but it is really decrease
when we consider the increase in the
country's wealth and population" is
the significant admission made by
French dealer in the American Wine
Press
Mexico and the Central and South
American countries buy more French
and Spanish wines every year, but
America buys less This is due large
" TO the increase in the manufacture
of California wines.
Every description of wine, brandy
and cordial is now made in CalIfor-
MIA. The American manufacturers are
gradually learning to produce higher
class goods.
Another thing that hurts the con-
sumption of wine in America is the
consumption of whisky. Americans
drink more whisky than any other
snirits. while the Latin people drink
more wine. and the English and Ger
mans more malt beverages"

Farm House Antiques.

A highly ingenious device for put
ting on the market "Old" furniture,
the taking of which is quite consid-
cradle industry in the Western Mid
lands, has been told by a dealer says
the Manchester Guardian.
He had eighty Welsh farm houses
on his books, in each of which he had
deposited for the use of the tenant,
but also in the hope that holiday peo-
pie might desire to buy them, old
dressers and cupboards and tables.
The inexperienced hunter for old
furniture invariably looks for worm
holes. They are provided for him by
a iudicious peppering with small shot,
and lest he should be suspicious and
probe for worm dust, they are care
fully sailed with fine sand.

New ri ats.

Many of the new spring hats are
trimmed with pompons of satin straw
or a lighter straw of different color
than the hats. To these are sometimes
fastened a quill made of straw, and,
although the combination is consid-
cred smart, it cannot help giving the
hat a very ready-made effect. Straw
trimmings have been introduced be
fore into the spring fashions, but at
no time have they been favorably
received.
A straw toque in the natural color
is trimmed with two large pompons OF
shamrock green, and the effect, while
new. is neither becoming nor particil-
iarly pretty.
In fact, straw toques themselves are
not very good unless made of the
softest material on the market, nea'
pclitan or leghorn.

suit the particular purpose for which
it is to be used. 1t is as scientific as

be as unscientific as patent medi.

good painter turns out is made of
genuine white lead and pure linseed

Turquoise blue, garnet, coral, tan,
mauve and gray bead bags are lovely,
and if they match the costume they
give it smart finish. The fringe is
made of the same beads. Another no.
ticeable departure from the fashion
established century ago is In the
quality of the beads Those used for
the new bags are sometimes opaque

the old-time sparkle, due to the way
they are cut, while the turquoise ones
possess the look of the real jewel.

15-YEAR GAME OF CRIBBAGE.
1t Is for riIion Points and Will Be
Finished in 1915,

7 HliSHCu III lSt
A cribbage game for a million
points, which has already lasted sew
en- years, is being played in Des
Moinesy Iowa, by Col. John c. Lopez
and Milo Ward says the Clinton,
Iowa, Herald. The score to date is
460,234 to 455,234.
The players estimate that they will
live to finish the contest in LIS. Mr.
Lopez is sheriff of Polk county and
Milo Ward is secretary of the Com
mercial exchange The men play once
a week, either Monday or Saturday
night, from $50 to II.
They have played for 376 consecu-
tive weeks and relgiOusly keep their
weekly engagement. The average
number of points made each night for
the last seven years is 2,150. Just
what the stakes are neither of the
players will divulge. Both men are
over the fifty-year mark.
The game has been divided into
series of 100000 points each. The
men are now on their fifth. During
their weekly contest they take half
an hour for light refreshments.
The players have worn out num-
Der of cribbage boards and about
twenty-five packs of cards so far in
their contest. The men expect on
their last series, which will come
about eight years from now, to invite
their friends and card experts to see
the finish of probably the longest card
game ever played in the world

SMART COSTUMES FOR SPRING.
Seif-Trimmine a Pronounced Feature
of Seasons Modes.

Spring costumes are essentially
smart and trig--in serges chiefly, &C
cording TO a writer in Vogue. Not a
few are of those Scotch AMI irish
weaves-in tweed and homeSpuns-
that if loosely woven are so pleasant
to wear. Self-trimmed are they-w1th
stripe or plaid, for these both continue
in vogue Either on the bias, or the
stripe put cOntrariwise to the down
ward striped direction of the skirt;
that is, if the skirt stripes run vertical
ly. In that case the trimming cloth
needs to run on horizontal lines.
Braids and buttons for coat trim
mings complete the demands with re-
suits so simple, but very charming
for forenoon wear. Then too, the
fresh spring cOlors are so attractive,
especially those in hyacinth blues,
ochres, biscuit-tones and gray-greens
intermingled with white by stripes, V
zigzags, line, squares, cubes or water
spots; some are woven in the solid
colOrs.

paniment to the cup of tea, not as real
refreshment. Frequently they are not
touched by the guests who run in dur
ing an informal afternoon and seldom
are many eaten by any one visitor
The sandwiches should be perfectly
fresh and of the lightest, thinnest
bread
Each slice should be as thin as
wafer and cut either round and little
larger than an old-fashioned cookie, or
oblOng. the width of the two fingers
and not more than an inch and hall
long. This size is easy to handle and
is not too large to be laid on the edge
of ones saucer.
Plain bread and butter sandwiches
are dainty, and if a filling is desired
one may try any of the several that
are suited to this afternoon function
Meat or game paste highly seasoned
and spread very thin between two
waters of bread will be found dainty
and delicious. Crisp lettuce leaves
with a suspicion of mayonnaise make
an excellent filing for bread waters
as do also nuts chopped very fine
until they are like paste when mixed
with mayonnaise.
Mild cheese of a creamy consistency
is ADAPTED to tea sandwiches, and may
be so seasoned as to mystify the
guests as to it's real character. The
very best sandwiches for tea are
those which have the filling so blend
ed that no one ingredient FREEDOM
mates. Cream cheese mixed with a
little Worcestershire sauce and some
cayenne and spread with butter makes
a delicious morsel with a cup OF
Ceylon.

To Keep Roses.

Roses may be kept fresh for week
by exercising little judgment in the
care of them.
When they first come in from the
florist arrange them in a good-slzed,
deep vase, to, provide plenty OF space
and moisture.
Freshen the stems every day by cut
ting off an inch or two with knife.
Never use scissors for this purpose,
as they compress the wood cells and
leave them so tightly pinched together
that they cannot absorb the water in
the vase.
If the room becomes Qverheated re-
move the roses to a cooler place
At night fill wash basin with cold
water and throw the flowers into it.

they looked like five-petaled flowers.
There were two more rosettes at the
belt, and ends of the ribbon, which

The infants bonnets are also most
attractive this spring. For the small

are most extravagantly beautiful bon
nets of fine Tuscan braid, with fine
gold cord interviewer. This sounds al
most too elaborate for a child, but
there is very little gold, and the braid
of which the bonnet is made is as light
and airy as chiffon. The crown of this
bonnet was quite full and of an ir-
regular shape. not at all stiff or heavy
in outline. The only brim was a
double ruff1e of plated chiffon and
caught in at the sides right over the
ears were pink chrysanthemums.
There was also a most fascinating
