Paris Pattern No. 2476, All Seams
Allowed in the manner Of
the Russian design, this little frock
will prove very popular with the moth
ers who desire to see their small
daughters prettily and becomingly
dressed. 1t may be developed with
round neck and cap sleeves, or if de-
sired yoke and full-length sleeves
may be had, both being provided for
in the pattern. The round collar is
of the material, and this and the short
sleeves are trimmed with cotton braid
in soft Persian coolrs. A pretty idea
is to make the belt of the same Per
sian trimmings, or it may be made Of
the linen. The pattern is in four sizes
six to twelve years. For a girl Of
eight years the dress with low neck
and cap sleeves requires 31k yards
of material q inches wide, "a yards
36 inches wide, or IA yards AZ inches
wide; three yards of insertion. With
high neck and long sleeves it needs
four yards q inches wide, three yards
36 inches wide, or 2k yards AZ inches
wide.
To procure this pattern send 10 cents
to Pattern Department" of this paper
Write name and address plainly, and be
sure to give size and number of pattern.

was cabled from Copenhagen: A
great Scandinavian trans-oceanic
steamship trust is projected by Ad-
miral Richelieu and other prominent
men. It will comprise the Danish
United Steamship company, including
the Observation-Disclosures line, the
Danish, Swedish and Russian East
Asiatic companies, the Swedish South
African line and two new trans-Atlan-
