Keep Your ChIId from Fear.

Keep YOur Child from Fear.
People OF various sects and beliefs are
beginning OF late to say that fear is the
devil. No matter how trite the saying may
become as mortals wake up to it, It will
never cease to be true; and how that devil
robs the ehildrenl From the moment Of
the average ehild's first fall. when the
mother cries out and picks him up with
such manner and words that he screams
with terror, the instllling Of fear goes on
The average child begins by being care
free, but the average loving mother un-
dermines that confidence with the most
earnest industry. The forbidden fruit of the
tree OF knowledge Is forced upon the child
until his naturally erect. fearless mental
carriage gradually becomes distorted, and
he stOops and bows to the inevitable" So

Tailored hats are the smartest so far,

a rather wide upturned brim. dented in in

Headwear of Peruvian Women.

AAcNAWGNE VI EeN0NAah WoAhehs
One Of the correspondents with the battle
fleet, describing the sights at Callao and
Lima. Peru, says; AS the visitors went
about, one change, national in character,
impressed itself upon them Immediately.
Every writer on Peru has commented on
the fact that the headdress of the women,
worn universally, Is the black manta. 1t
is said It is a relic that has come down
from the Incas when they put on mourn
ing for their great chief Atahualpa. Rich
and poor have worn that headdress On the
street for centuries II was an established
institution.
Wen. it is going. About one-half Of the
women, some of them In good eircum-
stances. evidently, wore mantas on the
streets but as for the rest-well, man
has no business to write about women's
hats All that this man can say is that
he never saw more dazzling specimens OF
flower gardens than those bobbins around
over the graceful drapery with which the
Peruvian women adorn themselves.
Thus does fashion war successfully upon
established custom. The Peruvian woman
loves a beautiful hat just as much as any
other woman on earth Moreover, what
is said about her surprising beauty Is
true, Given great beauty and the love
of a hat on the part OF a woman-what
chaDce has a black manta got? The manta
has got to go ana Is going.

only hint of ornamentation was in the but
tons, which were in each case of colored
crystal, Initiating semi-preoious stones and
matching the color most prominent in the
silk with which the button was used.
With plain tailored frock Of dark or
neutral tone, such a waistcoat would be
extremely chic. on similar lines there are
waistcoats of toile de Jouy, the various
antique cotton effects and beautiful old
brocades.
Plainly cut and fitted waistcoats of pom
gee in natural tone or soft dull color are
made up with no trimming beyond binding
and buttons of black liberty, or are beau
titled by hand embroidery, sometimes al
most solidly covering the surface of the
silk. One very stunning waistcoat of man
nish lines was formed by alternating stripes
OF black liberty and Chinese embroidery
In the Chinese blues on duh blue pongee.
The striped pongees and linens are also
made up into waistcoats, and for dressy
open coats are short elaborate little waist
coats OF satin hand embroidered or of rich
brocade with touches of gold among the
colots. Some very attractive waistcoats Of
flowered silk in soft colorlngs and blurred
design are speciality in one shop and are

Apropos OF frills and japots. we are evil
IDENTIFY to have a season of extravaganza
in such matters for among the imported
neckwear come many huge bows and frills
Of fine net with hemstitched, embroidered
or lace bordered edges and there are de-
lightful little stocks of tucked net, fin
ished by ties with huge plated ends OF the
same fine net, more or less on the order of
the example shown here.
OF guimpes with sheer sleeves attached
there is no end, and these are offered In
greater daintiness than usual In one
fashionable dressmalIing establishment we
have seen such guimpes made entirely of
fine point d'esprit net, tucked. The collar
was OF the high, shaped type now so modish
and the sleeves were of the tucked net
fitting the arm almost snugly and long
reaching down well over the hand.
These models were. however, made TO
order in Paris. and the dressmaker is
copying them for her customers, not only
in net. but in mousseline de sole of colors
matching jumper frocks and with only the
shallowest little yoke and collar of sheer
cream lace for relief at the throat.

These overbodies or garnitures are ad-
justed over simple sheer blouses, and SINH
lar crosses 'twixt pelerine and coatee are
offered in taffeta embroidered handsomely
in silks or in soutache.
Such embroidered net garnitures as the
one sketched here, with bold embroidery
design in high relief and exquisite oolorings,
furnish superb trimming for bodice other
wise simple. The chief difficulty about the
use Of such trimming is that there are Or
dinarily no accompanying motifs to be used
elsewhere upon the frock. and it is not al
ways easy to design a successful frock
which has no other touch OF embroidery
than the corsage trimming.
The dressmakers get around this diff
Guilty by leaving a very slight amount Of
done especially for the frock and intro
duced in sleeve finish or wherever it is
most necessary. The beauty Of the color
ings in the French embroidery designs ex-
eel that OF our domestic efforts and par
ticularly lovely effects are obtained In the
biscuit browns and peacock blues and the
biscuit and white wine shades with white
or color.
Embroidered rajah, tussor and light
weight pongees are well represented in the
imported corsage trimmings, appearing in
innuEaerable forms OF bolerO, bretelle, coll
lars. etc.
Irish lace as usual plays an important
part in the exhibit of collars, yokes and
coats, and one may find any sort Of access
sorry from tho plain standing collar and
bow or rabat to the coatee IN this popular
lace. The continued vogue OF the beeom-
ing white guimpe has brought out a host
OF these in all shapes and sizes and com
binations OF material.
Many of them are so finished that they
may be applied outside a blouse or bodice
as a yoke or used as a guimpe, and there
are many collar, guimpe and ehemisette

would fill in charmingly the open coat

The genuine waistcoat must not be for
