~ on Many Occasions.

The girl with little money and a
great need for pretty clothes would
do well well to remember that old but
none the less clever device OF using
colnred slips over white gown.
Girls who could not AFFORD both a
class day dress and a commencement
dress bought a nice white frock and
wore 1t on class day over colored
slip, with colored accessories. and usu-
ally flowers to match.
BY having various slips, of lawn or
silk, good white frock may be worn
upon an endless number of occasions.
Besides providing change of cos
tune. the slip actually protects the
gown and helps to keep 1t fresh.

one.
There are various accessories which
may be had to match: sash, necklace
or pendant. stockings and even shoes.

cuIRAss STYLE is POPULAR
For Young Girls It Is Acknowledged
One Of the Most Effective
Of the Season.

The cuirass style of gown has
brought about an effective combina-
tion of net covered with embroidery
and other materials. One of the popu-
lar evening frocks for girl who has
a good figure is gracefully fitted
cuirass which extends to the hips, and
a knife-plaited long skirt. The for
mer is made of coarse net covered
with fiat embroidery of silk SOU
tache, and the latter of messaline with
scroll of the soutache outlining the
top of hem. This has tight elbow
sleeves fastened with frills of lace
and is cut into a Dutch neck outlined
with fiat band of valenciennes lace
or tucker of fine white net run with
colored silk ribbon. This frock is
fastened down the back with lace
buttons.
The original model came out in
linen with the cuirass of coarse net
covered with an Egyptian design of
fine soutache 1t ran straight to the
neckband and was finished with a
Dutch collar of baby Irish lace. The
sleeves are long, almost tight-fitting
and finished with turnover cuff cf
baby Irish.

1t would appear that nowadays the
education of children at the Russian
court is not so severe as it was in
the earlier part of last century The
regime under which Alexander H. was
brought up, for instance. was certain
ly stringent. If simple.
Brayley Hodgetts has summarized
the young Alexanders days work as
follows:
"He and his comrades. vielgorski
and Patkul, had to get up at six, and,
after prayers and breakfast, began
their lessons at seven. These were
continued till noon. with an interval
between nine and ten for recreation.
After two hours walk they had
dinner at two, after which they played
or rested until FIVE, when lessons
were resumed until seven; then they
were allowed to play or do gymnastics
for an hour. At eight supper was
served The evening was devoted to
a review of the days achievements
and to posting the diary. At ten they
went to bed.
"On Sundays and holidays the hours
devoted to lessons were taken up
partly with improving reading, partly
with some handicraft and gymnastics
Notwithstanding the ability ex.
hibited by Alexander. it seems that
he was wanting in steady application
He was brilliant, but no plodder. In
order to make him work Capt. Moer
der hit upon an ingenious plan. He
started poor box. to which the chill

Now. however, as he walked along
he was bitterly absorbed In thoughts
other than his own needs. He passed
more than one acquaintance with q

was tho bishop. who turned an instant
