Modified Russian Rlouses.

Attractive blouses for children of
years are made of heavy linen on the
same pattern as the peasant smock
fastened on the left shoulder Oy five
pearl buttons. They slip over the head
and are easy to wash, while the sim
plicity of the band around the neck
and down the sides needs 10 orna
ment of lace or insertion. They are
also very easy to make, because there
is no tucking TO be done, as they are
merely gathered around the neck and
cut in slightly under the arms to make
them have some semblance of fitting
On the whole, they are great i'm
proyement on the old-fashioned sailor
suits and are far more satisfactory be
cause they have no reyers or no EN-
broidery in the front or on the sleeve
Besides that the regulation sailor
suits were never quite app pirate fol
little girls, and these notifications
are decidedly the most attractive
things that they can wear, and are
therefore not likely to go out of style
in the very near future.

OF course, it is a pleasure when
dainty garments can be made at home
and loving fingers are always ready

advantage. but for everyday wear it
is sometimes hard to md dresses that
are at the same time useful and be-

present a new measure. modified in
some features as compared with the
defeated bill, and for which it expects
more favorable consideration.
The bill was introduced at the last
session was based on the principle
that school supported by the govern
ment should be controlled by the gov
eminent. As some government Nr.
dowed schools are now conducted they
are managed by religious denomina-

meet UNCONVENTIONAL tests before they
become eligible to the faculty. Catho-

posing the measure providing relig-

The new bill removes the denomina.

first step in divorcing education from
TIE churches, and is an approach to
the ground which this country uas &C.
cupied from almost the first period of
its existence.
