FASHIONS FOR
YOUNGSTERS
(By Catherine .Nlann-Paysant)
New York. Jan. 16.—To outfll lb*
younger members of a family takes
some care and thought, even If one
has not to consider ihe expense. Yet,
after all. much depends upon th?
good taste and forethought of the
mother or whoever has the charge
of the little ones wardrobe. At this
time of the year, after the Christ*
maa seansoa is over, there are many
sale and numbers of bargains may
be found, for with the children short
lengths of dress goods and a bit
of lace or silk that would ee^ve uo
other purpose, in their case comes
in handy; and really very accept
able and inexpensive materials are
thus to be found. Take for lnstanr ?!
this little one-piece sailor suit, a suit
that should be found In every child's
wardrobe. The mother in traveling
through the at ores on a sales day
found a piece of blue serge of a not
too heavy weight, and as it was two
and three quarter yards In length
it lust suited her for her little girls
“•w school suit. At another counter
•he found a lot of emblems thrown
hodge-podge in a bo* among which
were some anchors which she se
cured, and with a pattern, a spool of
silk, a half yard of canvess and some
hooka and eyes, she felt her dollar
and forty-live cents were well sp-uiL
The skirt was laid in little plaits
seerod onto a body with a pointed
yoke to which was attached the reg
ular ^sailor collar! The sleeves were
full and gathered Into cuffs. On
the front of the yoke, each point
of the collar and sleeves and on the
little breast pocket was one of the
anchor emblems, a most serviceable
little dress.
'Another dress, the .materials for
which were picked up mt a bargain
was of a plaid showing gray
and red and green in a light-weight
cloth and was made by an over
blouse pattern with a gruimpe. The
dreae was gathered to the waist un
der a belt of red silk and the waist
was bloused a little iu front, cut low
around the neck, and the full sleeves
came to Just above the elbowa, be
neath which were under ones of
tucked lawn finished with lace frills.
Altogether this suit cost only two
dollars and thirty cents, for the
goods had been short lengths which
make them very reasonable.
As a Christmas present this little
girl had been given a beautiful bear
skin coat, far too good for school
and as she had quite outgrown
her -last winter's coat her mother
deckled to make one. This took a lit
tle more planning and hunting than
did the dresses; but at last a piece
of grey cloaking with a gay plaid
underside like the golf raises of some
years ago was found. It hsd a great
er number of yards in it than the
mother really needed, but the moth
er intended to make the coat rath
er larger than called for and aave
the remaining pieces to make it over
for uext winter. The model by which
it was cut was long, in five pieces,
two fronts, a back and two sleeves;
it was loose and double-breasted, fin
ished with machine stitching, turned
back cuffs, and a notched collar. Two
sites of buttons had been secured,
klx of which were on each point ot
the coat cuff and three on each col
lar point. When finished no one
would have guessed that the coat
was a home made affair and had cost
but two dollars and ninety-five cents.
For best dress a blue and white
voile was bought with bands of white
for the collar, sleeves, closing edges,
and for the belt; and for a contrast
a piping of solid blue followed the
edges of the bands. As the blouse
closed at one side, a touch of indi
viduality was given by containing
the trimming band to the bottom ot
the skirt, while trimming bands ot
the solid blue above the hem add
considerable style to the dress. With
this dress was worn the white bear
skin coat and a big hat of blue felt
decorated with blue velvet, white
pompons and silver buckles. White
gloves, gaiters and shoes completed
the costume to which was added a
muff of lace and fur also made by
the mother. whose pretty. well
dressed stylish little daughter re
paid her in looks for her work.
Having outgrown those of last
year, a dainty party dress w*as need
ed; and the little girl, who went
shopping with her mother this day,
herself chose the material and pat
tern. It was of French wool, batiste
in a cream shade embroidered in
pink dots. The model called for a
square yoke of Valenciennes lace,
bands of insertion and edging form
ing the collar and sleeve-bands. The
top of the dress was finely tucked,
and the effect of Japanese sleeves
was given by hands of insertion ap
j plied around the armhole and ex
I tending below the arms. At the
waist the tucks again drew’ in the
material to the belt-girdle of la^
and silk, while the front from yoke
to foot) was a panel of the goods
lined with bands of insertion. The
effect was a princess dress. Whit-*
silk stockings, white kid slippers,
white gloves, a pretty gold chain
studded with amethysts (her birth
stone) to which was attached a tiny
heart locket, and a little cream silk.
| hand im in ted fin were the aecesories
i to the costume.
A brown cashmere of her moth
er's was made over into a little Nor
folk suit to be used as a visiting
suit, for our little girl has numer
ous cousins and uncles and aunts
whose visits and invitations she was
extremely punctilious In returning.
For school wear a pretty red tarn
was used as a hat. and a white feit
poke shape of last winter waa re
trimmed to alternate with the blus
felt. A Scotch cap In the shape
that is becoming to a child's face
The cap is very simple and easily
made, and a pattern may be secured
front any good pattern-house. It
consists of a top. aide pieces and «nr
laps. Astrakau. Persian lamb, or
some of the rough cloths will be
appropriate. Ribbon ends are tack
ed at the back and elastic pas^n*
under the chin hoMs ttte ear-lap in
place.
Embroidery still hold* its p.ace
and is still uned on all sorts of high
rlaus garments. One o' the newest
1 ‘as is the u« of French crctoone
which is a th’n gUusv fair>. The
pattern Is rut •> it ai.d n; plied with
a long and short stitch. It Is ef
fective on vest8, collars, cults and
belts, though its use Is given to wid
er uses than these.
Y’osts and vestees rind s.orr silk
folds In different, color* used as n
vest edge are favored. 8ome times
they are copied exact tv from the
men's vests, or they are i.norl In
surpliced fashion or crosi-ove,* ef
fects. Fancy buttons In oval, round
or square designs are used and these
more beautiful kinds of enam»1. j«w
eled or carved varieties are seen on
the semt-dresH garments lor After
noons.
Some of th^ new rklrts have ap
plied hems; and these hems ar.? em
broidered or decorated with designs
done in soutache. Some are * *1'Min
ed with quilling of cloth, velvet, rib
bon or braid.
Attractive dressing sacks aie de
velo|>e>d from printed India linen,
embroidered Swiss, Persian lawn,
plumetis, challis, albatros, or the
wash silks, such as China and pon
gee, are useful fabrics with tr'm
mlngs of Valenciennes or clunv laces.
Hand embroidery which may be done
at home, is a dainty additional dec
oration.
When silk jyettlcoats 1h list'd it
is to be noted that it gives a little I
more of the gentle swish than of 1 at^
Taffeta is. of course, the best mate
rial for thiB purpose.
The long, closeflttlng coat is much
favored this season; It will be Blasti
ed at the sides and have a smart
vest and reversed cuffs. A dark coat
will often have a white or very light
colored Bilk vest well covered with
a design in soutache braid, a flat
collar facing of velvet, with Its edges
outlined with braid, ’and the cuffH
should be decorated In the lama
fashion.
The use to which tiny folda of taf
feta and aatin are put are many.
They tuay be applied In braiding pat
tern* and 4n serpentine effects and
sigaag design* on panels, fronts,
vesta, hems or collars and cuffs
The long sleeves, very plain Is
used on the tailored costume and
also on many of the afternoon gowns
The “inltaine sleeve” is often seen
in the semi-dreas costumes as well
as the puffed sleeve overhung with
long glove.
The vogue of the aleeve and body
in one continues In popular favor
and is seen on waists and wraits
as well as negligees. To give the
best effect this feature should be
outlined with insertion or braid or
some ariety of fancy stitched.
There are two old adages, “Haste
makes waste” and "Make haste slow
ly,'* that every one should employ
when they undertake to cure a cough
In a few minutes with preparations
containing Morphine, Opium, Chloro*
form or other opiates. They must
stop the cough and cause sfeep quick

have a cough. For sale by the White
