seasons have children worn such
striking hues as this year. Those re.
liable shades, navy blue, garnet and to-
bacco brown, have been replaced by
colorings once deemed "old," such as
taupe, grays like London smoke, faded
raspberry red, and even that peculiar
brown, known as Catawba.
These are enlivened by touches OF
bullion trimming-particularly gold.
For the bullion braid frogs and tassels
have quite generally replaced those of
silk on very dressy garments.
A word about fur coats. These are
an excellent investment in q fam
lily where there are several children.
for they can be handed down one size
to another as the children grow. In
climates where the winters are severe
they are especially desirable. For the
baby in short clothes who still rides in
a coach, a favorite skin is coney, which
Is very much like soft white rabbit
skin.
For baby the pure white is Of
course preferable. For children of
three and upward it can be dyed gray.
brown or black. A very stunning com.
bination for a girl of six is full
length loose coat of this black fur with
q velvet hat showing a dash of fame
color or scarlet.
Pony skin and caracul cloth are also
used for children, but none of these
are as light and yet warm as the coney
skin. A fur coat for child should be
very plain without fancy braid or but
tons, etc.
The navy blue chinchilla cloth, so,
long standard cloth for school coats,
REFERS, etc., has been replaced this
season by gray chinchilla.
Broadcloths, especially those in two
tone effects and heavy weights, are
used for general wear, while the satin
finished fabrics are suitable only for
the child who may have several outer
garments. Sensitive mothers of babies
in long clothes have two coats, an in.
ner and outer garment

able for a child from four to eight
years Of age. This is model of a
loose coat that can be slipped on over
fancy dresses. This especial model
was seen evolved in heavy French
serge in dull gray and the trimmings
were Of broadcloth In lighter shade:
of gray and gilt frogs trimmed the
front. 1t requires very little skill to
make this coat as it is cut in only two
pieces.

WRAPPERS NO LONGER WORN.
Loose Indoor Gown Is the One Now
Most In Favor.

Wrappers are no longer in vogue
They may be worn when one is dress
ing or sleeping or attending to minor
details in the house, but they are not
the garment to be put on for other
hours.
The morning wrapper for private
wear is now an exceedingly pretty af-
fair. It has nothing in common with
the calico Mother Hubbard of other
days. The kimona has settled all that.
1t has given its shape to all these gar
ments. Therefore, the indoor robe is
graceful and is made of pretty, soft
fabric. But it has its place and it's
hours. The loose indoor gown is the
one now popular for evening wear
when there are no callers. -.
The busy woman, the tired woman
and especially the woman who works
during the day at any other order of
task does not want to put on tight
gown every evening. She wants one
that is comfortable and artistic.
The new ones which are generally
worn are cut on empire line and do
not require a corset under them. They
are in one piece, fastened down front
or back, and have yoke and stock of
lace or net.

NEW IDEA IN FANCY WORK.

Pretty and Artistic.

Most women who consider the irk-

surprised to hear Of using darning
materials for fancy work. Not in max

One very pretty parasol worked in

one dollar, and it was embroidered

AN EXPERIMENT
in C0LLECTIvISM
B, LIONEL cHEwErTE


Curly was talking. Although 1t had
been more than two years since my
last meeting with him, my recollec-
lion of our former acquaintance was
sufficiently vivid to make that fact
no surprise. But the subject matter
ed. had never regarded Curly as one
to whom the great truths of modern
socialism would appeal. But here he
sat, forcibly inveighing anent the
wrongs of labor and the greed of cap.

claims of cooperation, or rather "col-
lectivism" (for weighty reasons, which
! have forgotten. cooperation was not
the thing. as the sovereign remedy
for all the ills of the state.
Certainly. as we sat on our bench
in the common that morning. there
was nothing in Curly's appearance
that denoted discomfort. And yet,

Keep the Carriers Crossed.

Some French corsetieres are advis-
ing their customers to cross the gar.
tiers which extend from the extreme
front of the corset. This is said to
prevent the corset's wearing away
at the sharp point of the front steel
which sometimes happens while the
garment is perfectly good in other re-.
spects. The crossing of the garters in
no way intereferes with the ordinary
use of the limbs in walking, especially
in these days of narrow skirts. If
each garter has two elastics, the outer
ones may go down straight in the
usual way, the inner ones crossing
to the opposite leg and fastening to
the stocking an inch beyond the outer
garter.
