Mothers love to make dainty finery
for their little girls at any season of
the year, but more especially now, at
the season when indoors is more in
vitfng than outdoors. In the North
the long winter evenings must be filed
somehow and leisurely sewing on pref
ty white clothes is as much pastime
as work. Many mothers count on JAN
uary and February as the time for get
ting the little ones sewing out of the
way, before the approach Of Easter
cOmpels them to give time and attention
to the more important needs of them
selves.
In January dry goods stores put on
their annual sales of white goods and
present their new-season models in
children's frocks = assortments are
complete and prices low, so the mer-
chant plays into the hands of those
patrons who count on making up lin
gerie and children's clothes at this
time. Styles for little folks do not
change much; there is so little room
for Improvement in them. We all like
to E the same sheer white fabrics
trimmed with the same simple needle
work, or fine embroidery and lingerie
laces that we have come to associate
always with babyhood.

Comfort In Clothes

Wear tight corsets again in order
to have a small waist? Never, wom-
en- never will, says a ~well-known de-
signer and costumer in New York. A
woman, she speaks for other women,
saying they will not again go back to
all sorts of limitations. They will not
make themselves uncomfortable with
high collars, though there will always
be some people who like them and can
wear them with ease. Narrow skirts,
too, will not mean that they must be
so scanty that they are not practical,
that one cannot walk in them, but
rather that they are not to possess
any superf1uous fullness around the
bottom.
There really is no danger, comforts
this designer, that women will be ex-
pected to adopt bustles again; in fact,
women will not endure such a style,
she insists. what are miscalled bus
ties are really only variations of back
drapery.

Above a dress-up frock for the small
lady of three or four years is pictured.
1t is made of fine batiste and narrow
val lace. This is a frock for state &C.
casions, like a birthday party, in the
life of the little miss. 1t is, therefore,
INDUCED in more lace and embroidery
than any other of her belongings.
1t is cut with a long body and a
short, full skirt, scalloped at the bot
tom. There is a straight piece of fine
swiss embroidery down the front set in
with lace insertion at each side. Little
jacket fronts are set ON at each side
with val edging set in a scant ruff
file on the edges.
Rosettes of pink satin ribbon at each
side of the front emphasize the begin
ming and the end of a skirt sash that
marks the joining of the waist and
skirt. A wide soft ribbon makes this
sash a very splendid affair that
matches up well with the hat of pink
ribbon and white lace. There is a
miniature rose on its brim. No Won

RAISE MISCHIEF WITH WIRES
on the Telegraph Wires of
the Country.

When the aurora borealis, or "north-
ern lights" pay us a visit there is
trouble on all the telegraph and tele-
phone lines. The reason for this
seems to be that the aurora borealis,
which is really an unusual electric
emanation from the sun, sets up alb
normal earth currents. The strength
of these currents has been measured
many times and found to have a poten-
tial varying between 425 volts positive
and 225 volts negative and a resist
ance of about 1000 ohms.
Donald McNicol, assistant electrical
engineer of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany, who has given much study to
this subject, made an official report in
1892, quoted in the Electrical Expert
menter, in which he described the eff
fects of earth currents on the ten At
tantic cables then in existence. Most
affected was that from Brest to Mique-
greater at the western than at the
eastern end, so that often st. Pierre
could send messages to Brest but could
not receive any.
Long cables were more affected than
short ones, southerly ones more than
northerly ones, and the abnormal cur
rents seemed to travel mostly from
east to west. Sometimes the earth cur
rents are so strong that they injure the
~condensers. But they are most erratic
in their nature and behavior.

several seasons, and many cookbook
Ing dresses are made up in this mate
