@HRIsTMAs Is so essentially the
children's season that children's
parties and in natural conse-
quence, children's party costumes must
be Of especial interest. This year there
will be the usual number Of entertain
ments and perhaps. a few more than
common, for we are beginning to feel
the return Of prosperity and there is a
general tendency to spend and rejoice
that must make itself manifest in such
matters 40 in other ways.
q There v has been a time when
children's dress was more beautiful or
more attractive and there is a pic
turesque tote to be found even in the
boys suits. Perhaps the loveliest ma
terials are used for the making of
the girls dresses and there is a very
wise tendency toward avoiding any
thing like ovcr elaboration. The best
makers show the simplest models and
the most fashionable mothers buy
them. Fine material. dainty work,
hand embroidery and hand sewing are
what give choice results. Nothing that
is snowy or " elaborate is desirable
OF Is IdSIllCIldDiG. here are u great
many materials that are used, but fine
white muslin, crepe de chine, georgette
crepe and cotton wolfe of fine quality
may safely be said to take the first
places. Shocking is being extensively
used this season and it is especially
charming when applied to children's
party frocks, while all sorts of hand
embroidery and fancy stitchery and
various kinds of needle work are en-
ployed. In a general way children's
fashions always follow the trend Of
their elders. consequently this season
full skirts and founced skirts are con-
spicuous. Ruf1es and ruchings of the
material are being much used. For
the very little children white is always
to be preferred to any color, but there
is a very notable tendency toward
making the dresses of transparent ma
terial and without any lining to be
worn over colored slips, and a white
frock over a pale pink or pale blue
gives a very charming result. .
A pretty little model is exploited by
one Of our best dealers for the little
one of four and two years is made with
a square yoke and short sleeves and
round neck. As the writer saw it,
the material was white crepe de chine

LATEST FASHION NOTES
from the FASHION CENTRES

and above the hem on the skirt, the
hem on the sleeves and the edges of
the neck was q little vine Of fine en-
broidery. At the waist-line the full
ness was all shocked to give a girdle
effect and the little slip could be worn
wei white or over a color a. the occa-
sion required.
A charming model for the girl OF
twelve, shows the full bodice that is
such a pronounced favorite for the
grown-ups this season. 1t consists
Of a straight gathered skirt which
also is much exploited in gowns for
the grown folk, with the yoke Of the
guimpe full, soft and shirred and the
soft full sleeves t~hree-quarter length.
1t is to be found in variety Of ma
terials but perhaps the prettiest one
shown is made with the skirt and
bodice OF georgette GRIPPE in a soft
creamy white, while the sleeveless over
bodice is Of rose pink taffeta. The
over bodice is a full pretty one, yet per-
fectly simple and chi)d-like, cut with
a low round neck and the shoulder
edges are Tapped and held in position
with buttons. 1t extends a little over
the skirt below the waist line where
openings are cut through which the
sash is passed, 1t would be very
pretty in crepe and it would be equally
lovely in fine white wolfe with a
taffeta over-bodice, or the overrbodice
Of charmeuse or any preferred ma
terial 50 long as it makes a good con-
trast. The straight skirt can be made
of founcing too and houncing always
is pretty and always attractive if we'll
chosen. Among the attractive output
il to be found white wolfe with an en-
broidered border, and there are some
Of the fine embroidered muslins that
are really exquisite, and since fine
muslin always makes a dainty dress
and is always correct that fact is worth
remembering. Flouncing for the skirt
with sheer fine material to match for
the under bodice and taffeta for the
over-bodice makes a charming little
dress and one which can be copied by
any mother who can sew a straight
seam. The French who are past
masters in the art Of designing chill
dren 8 dresses always insist upon fine
material and fine work. Some Of the
daintiest and most costly frocks shown
by the leading designers are entirely

hand made, yet absolutely simple in
cut and in treatment. Frocks Of GER
tain styles really demand lining, with
out it the full bodice cannot be kept
perfectly in place. The best makers
are using white cotton net for this
lining and really adds to the effect
Of thin material used over it.
A very charming little dress for the
girl Of eight OF twelve years 10 made
with a 1ounced skirt, full bodice and
with an oddly shaped pointed yoke
which is distinctive and individual.
The material is fine white wolfe, which,
after all, is as pretty as anything that
could be found, always essentially
dainty, and it is made over a white
net foundation. One gathered Aounce
is Joined to the lower edge of the deep
net yoke and the second is arranged
over It. The over-bodice blouses a
little at the waist-line and shows the
short pulled sleeves. while the pointed
yoke Is dainty embroidered and edges
with a frill Of fine lace. 1t forms a
V-shape at the neck and the little
frill is repeated as a finish for the neck
edge. The Aounces are hemstitched
and a pretty ribbon sash gives the
party touch.
Both round and low necks are to be
found in the Christmas dresses. A
fascinating little nj that is to be
worn at a Christmas Eve dance by a
young miss Of eight years is made OF
pale pink georgette crepe over a white
net lining. 1t is a very smart model
and at the same time a simple one.
BY some deft arrangement of the ma
terial, the full baby bodice and front
Of the skirt are cut together . % there
is a panel effect. At the sides and
back the full skirt and full blouse are
Joined and stayed by a little belt, and
the jennings in place of being plain
seams are done by hand with hand
sewed shirrings that are very charm
ing. A pretty dainty little ruff1e Of tace
is used around the neck and ruffies also
finish the sleeves. Almost as a matter
of course, the lace is v~alenciennes
for that lace seems to belong to the
children by a natural right. It is
essentially youthful and charming in
effect and it suits their needs perfectly
we'll. With the addition Of a little
hand shirring and needlework, the
simplest cotton wolfe a be made

~ iris and boys who are planning
, for the masquerade parties will
~ be delighted with this suit. It
is so easy to make that the mother
will not hesitate to provide. It so
completely conceals the figure that
it makes an excellent disguise. lt~is
so loose and ample that one a have
all the fun possible while wearing it.
In the picture it is made of white
~percaline with big red spots pasted
over it but one could make this suit
of a great many different materials,
but the simple inexpensive mes are
most in demand and percaline and
paper cambria are particularly we'll
liked, but it could Of course be made
in silk or in satin If something very
handsome is wanted or in fine sateen
if it is best to use something with a
shiny surface. For a very picturesque
effect the two sides could be reversed,
that is to say ON one side one may
use yellow material dotted with black
and on the other, black material dotted
with yellow making on frill OF one
color and one Of the other, the hat Of
one and the brim OF the other. 1t is

worked solidly OF in outline stitch.
The leaves, flowers and dots may be
worked either solidly or as eyelets.
The stems are to be outlined. Any
initial can be used.
To make the case cut a strip thirty
one inches wide by sixty-one inches
long, fold to form a flap sixteen inches
deep with a case twenty-five and one
half inches in depth. Transfer the
design and work the scallops at the
sides Of the cast through the two
thicknesses. "
To pad the scallops either work
chain stitch between the lines, heavier
at the centers and lighter at the
points; or cut a skein of thread,
apply two or more strands over the
center of the stamped pattern.

into what u French friends would
call . creation, without undue effort
and with a certainty 81 success,
Crepe de chine. and georgette crepe
are lovely but they really do not
give a prettier effect than the sifnple

great advantage Of durability ~ we'll

There was a time when even tho

can be white silk or it can be white
piquk, but it Is white and usually It Is
embroidered. As a rule, the coat gives
the little tuxedo effect with some real
or simulated vest and the trousers arc
straight. They are really very fasci-
mating little costumes, they are essen
TALLY smart and they are also essen
TALLY child like and charming. Ribbed
silks Of the gros grain order are the
preferred ones, but it is a question It
silk, while more costly, 10 more at

The latter, when . fine quality, we'll

most satisfactory effect and the
results in . costume 10 handsoms

brown velvet and dark blue velvet an
Of course correct, and for boys Of
eight and ten are much used. The
white is more child like and prettier
for the little ones and Z great many
mothers prefer it up to the age Of
eight or ten. The velvet suits are
made both in tuxedo and In Elton
styles, and they are frequently worn
with little blouses beneath, and since
there is a marked tendency toward the
relief Of over severity in the evening
costumes Of the grown men, It can b
extended to the realm Of thu little
folk without d~etracting from dignity
or from the essentially masculine
effect. With q black velvet costume
black silk stockings and patent leather
pumps make the correct accompani-
ment. With white suits, white dix
stockings and either black q white
pomps are correct.

successful. There are 50 few seams to
this garment that it is really nothing
to make and the simple gathered frills
make all the necessary finish for the
neck edge. The hat consists of only
crown and brim that are joined one to
the other.
THIS Jacket Is just as pretty as
a be. yet absolutely simple. 1t
only the shoulder and un-
der-arm seams, for the fulness is con-
fined by means Of a sash at the waist,
but it takes pretty lines. the collar is
effective and the dainty material makes
il, essentially charming and feminine
in effect. The petticoat is a simple.
graceful one with a circular founce.
but the founce is covered with rufaes
that are gathered. Here, taffeta makes
the petticoat and a pretty, dainty soft
silk with organdie and lace, the jacket.
THIS is one of the most tempting
negligees for winter wear that
can be offered. 1t is made Of
corduroy in a charming shade Of pink
and trimmed with white %broadcloth
while the lining is Of silk. 1t is one
of the most comfortable possible gar
ments to wear. 1t is so pretty that it
is a perpetual temptation to rest and
relaxation and withal, it is S graceful
and attractive that one need not hest
tate to receive an intimate friend while
wearing it. 1t is very simple and easy
to make also, for the sleeves that are
sewed to- it at a long shoulder line
require nc fitting and there are only
the shoulder and under arm seams to
be sewed up, The patch pockets mean
real comfort and convenience. The
belt confines the gown at the waist
and the folds and lines Of these forms
are extremely attractive. As a matter
Of course, other materials can be usec.
Flapnels of various weights are liked
for garments of this sort. Cashmere IS
pretty and the silks are very appro-
pirate, but the corduroy is in the
height OF fashion and it is much to
be commended.

and it was reported to us that the | Christians who had been left behind | perty had been driven away, some of them killed and their huts burned. I tried to send messengers to them with | words of courage and instruction, but all returned with the letters because of the war raging everywhere. The uproar spread quickly from tribe to tribe, every day bringing new and startling reports.
 My family and I were the only Flu ropeans left in the district as far south as the river Mbalgeti and we had been warned by the government officials that an uproar was to te ex- pected; also in the last word we heard from any of the missionaries, MT Ohme wrote upon going south to meet his company that he feared an uprising, but that he did not know of any safe place where he could advise us to go. We could not very we'll, with a fifteen months old baby, run around in the unknown with the sol diers, and whereas we expected that the English very soon would show up, we decided to wait on our station un- til we should get some evident sign that we ought to leave.
 We did what we could to protect ourselves, put in night watches and for the rest committed ourselves to Gods protection. Finally the uproar spread to Busegwe also. A chief and his sub-chief with women and child ren had fled from Niagangi with their 15O head of cattle, but Busegwe na- tives surrounded them and robbed them of all the 150 battle and killed one woman and one child By this

Several chiefs who were robbed of all their property by the invading natives came to us when the natives sought to kill them They had before earnestly besought us to ask the English to come to quiet the up roar, but the British force had only gotten one of our three notes and were busy elsewhere and could not come, but advised us to come to them"

DARKEST AT RIGA RETURNED ID
 BARBARISN

WASHINGTON, Oct 24. - How the march of civilization in Darkest Al rica has been turned backward by the war is graphically told in letters com ing from missionaries in the interior of the dark continent t) the Seventh Day Adventist headquarters here.
 Fragmentary news leaking out from time to time has indicated now half century work in the cause cr ciyi- lization was swept away at one stroke when the tribes, taking advantage of the war between the British and Ger mans, broke restraint and returned to the rude customs of barbarisn ill which they were found by Livingstone stanley and other explorers.
 The most complete account of con dttions received at missionary head quarters so far has come from Mrs. Minnie Toprenberg, the wife of VaIde- mar E, Topponberg. who has charge of the medical missionary operations of the Seventh Day Adventists sta toned on the eastern shore of the Vic toria Nyanza. Her report came from Ukewere island, which formerly was part of German East Africa.

We used bananas. native grains and nuhogo for flour, wild honey for su- gar, candles made of taIIow for light, soap from wood ashes and lime. Clothes were also onprocurable. so We wore pants. ete- made of goat and gazellc skins, and made yarn of cot ton and knitted our stockings.
