BOXES OF BRONZE LEATHER
ReceptacIes for SpooIs, ThlmbIe and
Needles That All Little Girls
VIII Appreciate.

Extremely attractive In that partic-
dlar way that girls very much like
are the tiny little bronze leather
boxes which are made to hold spools
of thread, thimble and needles. These
are meant for little mending kits to
put in ones bag when one is visiting
for a few days. The boxes are very
small, some Of them containing only
black silk and white thread, while 9TH
ers have a row of four or five spools.
They have lids of the leather, and the
edges of the box are bound with mar
row satin ribbon or with silk or SILK
braid. The boxes are long and mar
row and the lids are hinged to them
nv the ribbon binding, which is seWed
together at the end.
Some of the boxes are the same
width through the length, and others
are tapered at one end. The boxes
which are meant for more than one
snool are usually the same width
throughout. The width is just enough
to admit a spool being put in side
wavs. When only one spool is to be
mt in the box 1t goes in lengthwise.

pendence would be complete. Many
Achool frocks of cheap serge or
flannel or fancy wool are made in
this manner with contrasting collars
and cuffs of wool. A gay plaid worsted
frequently decks little dress OF
plain blue or brown serge, while
gown of velvet or velveteen in the
same cut will have the collar and
cuffs Of rich lace or else Of cloth
and ratine.
Concerning the home making OF
these little frocks, or any others OF a
smart sort, pray let me say further
word in praise of the French makers.
They are most careful about match
ing trimmings to materials, they are
original and dainty in details, and
everything turned out for children,
however rich the textures, has an
infantile quality. Patterns are small,
and trimmings put on the bebe or
small way Every garment for chill
dren is exquisitely finished, too, in
side as out, especially coats and
frocks for high dress. Some beautiful
little costumes seen recently were
finished at the inside Of the bodice
fastening and at the hem turn of the
skirts with narrow, fat putting OF
silk matching the gown color. The
same putting will be used to delight
full advantage all round the inside

sometimes contrasts with the lining.
A capacity for infinite pains is the
real secret of French taste in dress,
and nowhere is this dainty patience
more rewarding than in children's
garments.

He won the wager, but lost several

the palace the only sentry is an old
veteran, wearing many decorations,
but unarmed. The idea generally held
that the king of Spain lives surround

absurd. The "Alabarderos"-mou
escort-and the large military staff is

Every day while in residence at
San Sebastian, the king, unaccom-

back, or in auto or carriage, can be
seen going about. We met him once
in lone spot Of the Corniche, writes
a traveller, attempting to clean three
plugs that had got choked by SCOT.
My French friends stopped and asked
the customary, Anything we can dor
"These plugs are choked with SCOT"
replied Alfonso. His chauffeur was
respectfully offering new ones, when
our French friend-a pure automobile
crank like the king-explained that ne
could clean those plugs by backing
rapidly up the slope.
That is what I said," cried Alfonso.

tricky swing. he got his weight on the
crank and started the heavy motor
before his chauffeur knew what ne
was up to, jumped In beside his only
companion, silent military man, ana
began backing up the slope at second
speed.
NOW that is just the type OF auto

chauffeur do a thing explained the
Frenchman. From this time Alfonso
nodded to us with a smile. content

who had seen him, Alfonso. acting as

this season.
On it's way to the opera or theater,

and charming receptacle is made in
the manner described. 1t is fashioned
of an oblong piece of brocade or en-
broidered fabric, chosen for it's beau

over which is superimposed nfnon.
