AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN YOUNG.

In season when elaboration is carried
to excess it is not surprising that chill
dren's frocks should be affected by the
trend, and dimnutive frocks, coats and
even hats show an amount Of trimming
and novelty of design that would not
have been tolerated in other seasons.
Frills and furbelows, however, are ar
ranged with view to retaining Ger
tain effect Of simplicity that Is a neces-
sary attribute in the successful sowning
Of children, while the other extreme, the
severity that for two or three seasons
threatened to overthrow the appearance
Of youthfulness. has likewise been adj
justed to a suitable mean. So. on the
whole. it is safe to assert that fashions
in children's Clothes as in those for
grown.ups, never were more sane and
sensible, nor, at the same time, more in
teresting

The dressmakers make these various

which one hears on every hand in Paris
because of the high tariff on peltry.

CLEANING HELPS.

Knives with steel blades can be kept
clean only by constant work Bath brick
Is a good cleanser, and SO are many of
the commercial cleaning powders and
bricks. Bath brick rubbed on steel with
half a raw potato Is effective. Bath brick
mixed with washing soda is also effective.
Copper furnishes perhaps more quickly
than any other metal. To clean It rub
1t with a cut lemon dipped in table salt.
Then rinse II with clear water and polish
II with a soft, dry cloth. OF course, regu-
lar washing and thorough drying do
much to keep copper, like everything
else, in good condition.
Brass is not so difficult to keep clean.
But when 1t gets furnished or spotted it
Is as difficult to get clean again. Wash

should never be cleaned with anything
