Fairy Tale
ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
@(lARY GRAHAM BONNER

The children had had q beautiful
day thus far. There had been the
most aonderful of hay rides In the
morning. How high-up they had felt,
fiiirg on the hay wagon.
And how many games there were
TO play when they were riding along.
Almost as many games as there were
when they played in the hay-loft.
In the afternoon, because 1t was 50
hot, they were all allowed TO 90 wad-
Ing in the brook and to stay bare
footed the rest Of the day.
After that when they were all cooled
of they went for bicycle races and
the ones who had no bicycles rode on
Some Of the children rode their BIZ
cycles very well. They could go for
long distances without touching their
hands to the handiebars. And how fine
they did look. sitting up straight. with
arms crossed. guiding the bicycle by
clever balancing.
But later In the afternoon II began
to rain Now there were many chill
dren who had been playing-In fact
most of the children in the little vii
laGe played together every day OF va.
cation time
When IL began to rain the mother
Of two Of the children said, "TlI tell
you what you can do, children"
Thav oil liefapnH noUnrI,
"Of course you know the garrett"
Yes. they all knew the garnet. for
many an outdoor circus had become
a garnet circus on a rainy day and
many had been the plays given In the
garnet and the charades and the
games.
Oh, yes, they all knew the garnet.
There were so many fascinating old
things In the garnet too which had
been in other parts Of the house dur
ing some of the hundred years that
the house had been built.
There were beds and chairs and
tables and old stoves. Playing house
was one Of the most wonderful of
things to do In the dear old garnet.
And II was so large a garnet, too.
that many could play house at the
same time and go about the garnet
visiting each other.
"But," continued the mother who
was talking. I'm going to suggest a
new garnet party for you.
"When my great-grandmother came
as a bride 10 this old house. which my
great-grandfather had built for her.
she brought with her a most beautiful
trousseau Of clothes and bOnnets and
shawls. She always kept them and
when they were quite out Of style she
put them In an old trunk.
Every year we brush out the
trunk and put the clothes back. But
1t seems to me that IL would he only
right to make a little use of those
clothes.
II have feeling that great grand
mother would like IL IL we did.
And so l suggest that you have a
dreSsinG-up party and that you all use

Paisley ,Sashes.

A pretty type Of the stocklnette
frock, which as well as the stockin-
cite coat and skirt continues its popu-
larity this season, is made like a cas-
sock buttoned from neck to hem down
the front. and without decoration, ex-
cept for the sash, which makes up for
the simplicity Of the gown by showing
as many cOlOrs as the wearer likes.
Paisley is in great favor. A mush-
room-colored stockinette gown has

more sober-minded may prefer sashes
of thick-ribbed silk to brighter ones.

TO OPPOSE LONG, FULL SKIRT
Women Of England Band Together to
Protest Introduction of Objec-
tionabie Fashion.

In England, observes a fashion
writer, quite number Of influential
women have banded together to pro-
test against the introduction of "long.
full skirts" They say-and with
much reason-that this fashion has
nothing to recommend it, that full
skirts which reach the ankles make
every woman who wears them look
years older than Is necessary and also
that long skirts are dust-catchers and
for that reason unhygienic.
The fact is that nearly every woman
realizes that she looks smarter and
younger in a moderately short skirt
which falls In straight lines, I do not
mean exaggeratedly short, indeed,
straight skirt may quite well reach
the ankles. especially If 1t happens to
be plated; but when 1t comes to gath
cred or flounced dresses, not to speak
OF those models which are obviously

FASHION NOTES OF INTEREST

Rickrack braid edges some of the
smart gingham morning frocks.
Jumper dresses of wool jerseys are
designed to wear over shirtwaists.
The straight line is strictly OBJ
served in the advance fall coat dress
models now being shown.
White embroidery is much used on
black, both in the French frOcks and
in those designed in this country.
However much your new gown is
draped, there is a way of showing the
slim uncOrseted line-and it Is smart.
A rival of the colOred linen hand
kerchief is of. gingham, pin checked
and finished with very narrow ruffie.
Cut outs of leather form the trim
ming for many of the new hats. They
are found most often in white or blue
hats.
Long, loose coats of taffeta are to
be worn much this summer Many Of
them have thin muslin Innings usually
quite bright in color.
Deep bead fringe edges the ends of
sash of geOrgette. The beads hang
in festoOns about II inches deep and
form really rich and decorative
trimming.

fair.
In Paris we talk great deal about
long and full skirts" but at all the
fashionable race meetings and sum-
mer festivities the straight outline still
prevails.
l think we shall find that the 1890
outline will be largely exploited on the
stage and at certain evening entertain
ments but that 1t will not easily re-.
place the becoming straight-outline for
street wear. l am encouraged In this
opinion by the determined stand now
being taken by the best Paris tailors
All the latest models designed In
their studios show straight, moderate
ly short and wide skirts, and these
are very successfully combined with
shaped coats which almost reach the

1t has been interesting, and not lit

Is really true that, amongst the best
dressed women, nine in ten wore black,

One picturesque cape especially was
greatly admired. The important point
was the wide scarf collar turned back
with embroidered silk. splendid eff

methods and nothing could be more
graceful than the way in which the
shoulder.
1t IS the day of picturesque wraps.
These garments are worn on all sorts
of occasions, in the afternoon as well
as evening. On coats and wraps one
finds very wide "mandarin" sleeves.
