Colored Fabrics Are Used.

In all these new offerings there is
minimum amount of white and a maxi
mum amount of the same colors that
the grown-ups wear. American beauty
red velvet is the madness of the mo-
ment over here, and coats and frocks,
as we'll as hats and muffs, are made of
it for children.
Gray blue, or the tone that is called
hydrangea blue. has been dyed into soft
velvets and chiffons. and these are min
gled in frocks for tiny youngsters.
There are empire gowns and long
wasted medieval effects, and soutache
braiding, civil war ruchings and quill
ings.
All of these frocks have the neckline
of the middle ages. Happily. young
child can exploit that kind of decollet-
age better than can a woman.
Often this line cuts straight across
the collar bone and goes out to the
point of the shoulders. 1t is a good
line on a youthful neck and looks es
pecially we'll below the short hair crop
ped in a straight line above the neck
parted at the side and caught with
| barrette above the left temple. Ribbons
seem to be out of fashion at any age.
| Never were skirts SO short on chill
| dren. They are we'll above the knees,
and the European child wears long
socks, but not stockings. Instead of a
| fiat pump, she often wears the high
| buttoned boot, but the American child,
| possibly because of the climate, is
more apt to wear long stockings and
| shoes.
| With this kind of leg and foot cover
| ing. the extra short skirt is not suit
| able. although 1 notice that many
| American mothers are adopting it for
{ their youngsters. The new idea is to
make this skirt somewhat full and
make the long wasted line to meet it,
which is not confined by sash.
The Short-Waisted Effect.
The empire effect is always good on
4 little figure and it. is fortunate that
| fashion maintains it. The sketch shows
one of the best of the new frocks for
children. and although the outline is
tirely different from what has been the
| accepted custom for decades.
The high-waisted skirt is of white
silk, a soft Bengaline silk that clings
closely to the little figure. although it
| has fullness obtained through side
pleatS placed all around the waist line
The short-waisted bodice is of silver
blue velvet trimmed with a design in
| silk soutache. This braiding holds down
the blue-velvet hem of the skirt as well
| as the edge of the short sleeves. The
| idea is taken directly from the newest
models for grown-ups, as many of the
best French frocks show quantities of
soutache.
The front of this little bodice has
! belt of the braiding. which falls over
the fullness of the skirt and develops
at the sides into sash of self-colored
velvet ribbon. which ties in the back.

are taken directly from the fashions

That American children will continue

THE BLACK CHAPEAU

TELLS Of
WARS EFFECT
ON CHINA

Rev D. A. Sanford received a let
ter from his son, Lieut.. George A.
Sanford, located at Tiensin, China.
and dated August 7, 1914. The fol-
lowing extracts are made. "The war
in Europe is the principal thing of
interest here now. There is consid-
erable discussion here as to the ef-
feet of the war in Europe on the
Chinese situation. Guam Shil Kai
has been handling the situation very
well as long as he was back
ed by foreign money, but
there will be no chance to
get any more foreign loans now
unless it is from the United States
and when the money supply runs out
it is hard to say what will happen.
The Chinese government has on
hand at present sufficient funds to
meet its obligations for perhaps two
months and they are preparing to
float domestic loan which will be
sufficient to keep things going a
while longer.
Mails have been irregular lately,
and Suppose that mails through
Europe w.il be unsafe for some time
now"

$4,000 MEMORIAL
ENDOWMENT FOR

BISHOP S. ID. FUTILE
A $4,000 memorial endow-
ment to be disposed Of as Bish-
op d. S. Tuttle, of st. Louis,
sees fit, has been started by a
promise of the Episcopal Mis-
sionary District of North Da-
kota to raise $1,000 of it.
The endowment will be made
to commemorate the fiftieth
anniversary in the Episcopate
of Bishop S. d. Tuttle. The
anniversary will be in 1916.
AS Bishop Tuttle was first a
missionary bishop, and has al
ways been particularly inter-
ested in missions, the sugges-
ton from North Dakota takes
the form of a missionary mem
orial. The proposed $4,000 it
is suggested by North Dakota,
should be made as a thank Of
: fering, to be presented at the
opening session of the Episco-
pal General Convention Of 0c-
f: tober, 1916, which is to held
: in st. Louis.
f: With the offer of $1,000 from
: North Dakota, which is still a
+: missionary district, it is
!: thought that other dioceses,

/: plete this American memorial.

McKINLEYS ARE HOME
FROM VISIT IN EUROPE


Mr.. and Mrs. ]. W. Mckinley and
Mrs. Bessie Mckinley Winscott, who
have been spending the summer in
England and Scotland, arrived home
shortly after midnight Monday. They
came over in the steerage of the
New York and counted themselves
fortunate in securing accommoda-
tions of any kind as there were 400
other passengers on the vessel who
were forced to sleep on the floor, ta-
bles or anywhere it was possible to
make bed. Mr.. Mckinley says the
steerage was crowded with persons
like themselves who had crossed as
first cabin passengers, but took the
steerage so anxious were they to
reach America.
Before he could leave Scotland he
was forced to go before the American
| Consul at Glasgow and swear to his
being naturalized American citizen.
The Scotch are anxious to enlist and
practically all of the horses in Scot
land have been taken by the war Of
fee to aid troops. He says he be-
lieves Germany will eventually get
the worst defeat in history and that
the English people also believe this
though they realize there is fearful
fighting to be done before the vic
tory is theirs.
Mr.. Mckinley says the war news
in the English papers is nothing like
as complete as that published in th'
papers in America. The censorship
abroad is very strict. Mr.. Mckinle!
is the picture of health and his man!
friends are delighted that he and hai
party arrived home safely and il
