two. The chief difficulty consists in
making a choice, so great is the va
riety of styles. Boleros are very use
ful for this purpose. Many of these
Jackets are covered with elaborate em
broidery, and some are made of rich
brocade, trimmed with ponderous pas
eementerie, but the majority are of
lace, in a more or loss pronounced tone
of yellow or string color. They range
In texture from the finest lace, which
reveals a lining of brilliant-colored silk
to the richness of the coarsest guipure,
Which is quite capable of maintaining
its position unaided. They are often cut
in a series of scollops, with flnely

chiffon. The yoke is of jewelled blue
satin, and the puffed chiffon below is
of green. Each puff is edged with lace.
The green chiffon is carried to the belt
and fastened with two ribbons, one
green, one blue, tied in a large bow
together. The same lace used for trim

and about the neck, where it is confined
by a stock made of the same combi

THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1896.
•&Jk£rlt
Sashes will be worn this autumn with
street costumes as well as evening gowns.
With the revival of the sash will be intro
duced many and novel ways in which It may
be arranged. It is no longer the simple af
fair that ties about the waist with a bow
and ends at the back. An up-to-date chron
icler of fashions asserts that the" new sash
will be made of wide ribbons. Among the
newest ribbons are those of moire antique,
with a satin back. Changeable glace ribbon
with a black satin edge is another novelty.
There are, as well, new liberty satins, which
promise to be much in vogue. The Roman
sash will be worn, and hand-painted sashes
will decorate evening gowns. The colors
which promise to be most in favor are the
new red shades. A cherry pink is one of
the latest exquisite colors, also a soft, brown
ish cherry. Any of the new red shades in
the changeable glace ribbon, with the black
edge, are most effective. All the varying tints
of violet and mauve will be fashionable this
fall, as well as the greens, shading from a
delicate lettuce color to a rich, deep e»erahl.
Sashes with fringed ends will be seen,
also those having the ends finished with an
edging of feathers. Many of the debutantes
will wear with their party gowns sashes of
filmy tulle. These sashes, when tied in a

I is finished with a bow on each side.
The bodice of heavy silk is made of
l shaded orange tints toning from butter
| cup yellow to the deep tangerine orange.
' It has a beautiful draped effect about
| the waist. For ornament it has a large
; bow on the left side of the breast. It
I is finished about the top with a yoke
j like effect of puffed lisse, black, white,
: or yellow, according to taste, drawn
closely about the throat, and having
a full high standing ruffle. The sleeves
are of the silk and fitted closely to the
arm. They are surmounted by a soft
puff and finished about the hand with
a full fall of deep lace.
FASHION'S FOR CHILDREN.
Example*) of the Pretty Style* De
vised for Little Boys and Girls.
The fashions for children are par
ticularly pretty this season. A gown
suitable for a child between two and
four years of age is of pale pink or
blue linen, made like a simple smock,
with the top of the back and front
breadths set in a multitude of very
small tucks, from which the skirt falls
in unrestrained folds. This is finished
at the bottom with small tucks and
two tiny ruffles. The bishop sleeves
are tucked at the wrist in the same
manner as the neck of the frock, form
ing cuffs, and from the top of the tucks
to the gathering in at the shoulder
the sleeves form big puffs. The dress
is finished at the neck and hands with
a tiny ruffle edged with Valenciennes
lace.
The first little maid in the illustration
is dressed in a frock of embroidered
muslin. The deep flounce is edged
with embroidered Swiss at the bottom.
This is set on the skirt with an em
broidered frill at the top and a row of
insertion of the embroidery above the
frill. The same muslin forms a pretty
sleeveless bodice, cut pointed at the
neck, back and front, and trimmed
with the same edge as the skirt. This
is worn over a plain mull blouse or, if
the weather is cool, a soft white silk.
Delicate pink ribbons finish the gown
about the waist. The broad-brimmed,
flapping leghorn straw hat is trimmed
with a wreath of very pale pink flow
ers. The next little maiden is in light
blue pique. The bodice ia cut in a
I
series of points around the body and
edged with narrow lace. It is worn
over a white muslin blouse trimmed
elaborately with lace insertion and
edge, and the long, tight sleeves are
surmounted by two flounces instead of
puffs. The quaint poke bonnet is faced
with the most delicate pink, over which
fall blue feathers to match the gown.
The tiny bow under the chin is of blue,
like the feathers. The gown of white
serge on the last child is very stylish.
It has a trimming of dull red. The
full loose blouse is fastened closely
about the waist with a red belt, and
below there is a frilled basque lined
with silk of a dull red shade. The
full revers and flounces at the top of
the tight sleeves are lined with red
silk and trimmed with narrow rows of
the same material. The white silk
shirt worn with this gown is stripped
across the chest with rows of the red
silk stitched on. A red Tarn o' Shanter
is worn with the gown, and is trimmed
with one red and one white quill,
fastened with a white rosette on the
left side.
Attractive styles are also provided
for little boys. Scotch plaids are used
for kilt suits, as in the illustration.
The little coat and waistcoat, for real
service, are best made of tweed of a
black and white mixture, with the cap
of. the same material with a flat band
o£ the plaid about it. A suit of checked

big butterfly bow at the back, give a delight
fully airy touch to a costume.
One of the smartest ways of wearing a sash
with an evening gown is suggested In the
illustration accompanying this article, which
was taken from the New York Journal. It
forms part of the bodice and is tied in a
bow on the left shoulder. Another new way
of wearing the sash it to let it start from
the back and be drawn over the corsage,
much like a very short bolero. Right in the
front it lies in a bow, with full loops and
long ends. When the sash' is worn around
the waist it Is very broad In front, tying at
the back In exceedingly small loops, with long
ends. This is one of the favorite ways in
which the sash is worn in Paris. The sash
which is draped over the hips and tied in a
knot at the left side is also new. For street
costumes the newest sash fa of black satin,
about eight inches wide. It looks much like
a corselet. In front it fastens with two small
bows. In the back it fits, the figure, and is
trimmed with two rows of buttons, which
give it the appearance of fastening by means
of the buttons. Below the waist line the
sash ends fall down over the skirt. This
corselet sash is high in favor with French
couturieres, who are using it on many of
their smartest fall toilets. The coming sea
son will find the fashionable girl as intent on
making a collection of sashes as she was last
year of stocks and collars.
tweed may be made with a Norfolk
jacket belted about the waist under
the pleats. The golfing stockings should
repeat the shades of the cloth. The
wee sailor boy is in heavy blue linen
trimmed with narrow white braid
about the collar. The Panama hat
has a binding and broad blue ribbon
band about the crown to match the
linen of the suit. The hat is worn well
back on the head. < ;
THE SEWING ROOM.
It In a Good Thing to Establish in
Every Household.
A large room Is not needed for this
purpose. Indeed; the . smaller one is
more desirable, as all the appliances
of the work can be kept more easily
at hand in It. The small hall rooms in
city houses are. good for this purpose,
and in many homes are so used. If
the house happens to be stove-heated,
one of the advantages of a small room
is that it can easily be heated by open
ing the door into an adjoining room.
When this is impossible a tiny gas or
oil stove will give ample heat.
Carpets on the floor of any room are
getting in pretty general disfavor,
though there are many who think that
their absence gives the apartment a
sort of unfurnished look. There can
i hardly be a question, however, about
the sewing room floor. This should
decidedly be a bare one, stained or
painted. Oil cloth or matting is next
best and gives up the threads and lint
without the labor which must be ex
pended on the carpet. When the floor
is bare It Is comparatively easy to
brush up the dust and scraps and
wipe it over with a dampened mop.
A sewing room needs all the light
obtainable. A north light is best to
sew by; therefore, if possible, the room
should be on the north side of the
house. Light should not be obstructed
by window hangings. Shades should
always be used, and these so arranged
that they are able to rise to the full
" height of the window.
A low chair is best to sew In, and if
It is a rocker, so much the better. The
piazza chairs that many of the stores
are selling so cheaply this summer can
be used very well for this purpose.
The cutting table should be low also.
To hold up the arm while cutting for
even a short while is very fatiguing,
but if the table allows the arm to fall
on a level with the waist line a great
amount of cutting can be done with
out disagreeable effects. Such a table
should be on casters, so that it can
be moved at will, and it should be
three feet wide and from four to five
feet long. These dimensions will per
mit the cutting of cloth of different
widths without inconvenience. The
cutting tables that are shown in the
shops are very handy, because they
fold up and can be put aside to save
space when the cutting is over. These
tables have one edge marked off in
inches like a tape measure and are
very convenient, indeed.
Of course, the important factor In a
sewing room is the sewing machine,
but besides this the room should con
tain a scrap basket, a rag bag, a piece
and pattern bag, a chest of drawers
and some footstools. The basket and
bag and even the footstools can be of
home manufacture, so need not add
to the expense of the room. A dis
carded bureau from one of the bed
rooms will do well for the drawers.
A small covered board for pressing
is an absolute necessity in a sewing
room where efficient work is done. A
flatiron, an iron holder and rest ac
company the board, of course, and it
is well to have a one-burner oil or gas
stove in the room, so that the iron
can be heated without frequent trips
to the kitchen.
It is seen, then, that a separate sew
ing room can be obtained at a very
trifling expense, while the comfort can I
be hardly reckoned. The seamstress j
who comes to do the family sewing |
knows how to appreciate this nook j
where she may work undisturbed and :
quietly, and the family itself is more
comfortable when one of its usual
rooms is not invaded by an outsider.
POCKETS AND BUTTONS.
(ilortoiiM Innovations for the New
Tailor-Made Girl.
Women never look smarter than
when in tailor-made gowns. It Is re
markable that the frocks of heavy
cloth, cut in severely plain style, suit
every kind of woman. If she has a
good figure the tailor-made gown sets
it off; if she has a bad figure, the
gown improves it so that it appears
good. In view of these facts, it is good
news to every one that the tailor-made
gown will be more in evidence this
coming autumn and winter than for
many years.
The pattern will be mostly shot
goods, with some solid colors. There
will be greens, browns, black and doz
ens of shades of gray. They will be
in all kinds of combinations, and most
of them will be pleasing to the eye,
accoi-dlng to the manufacturers. As
for the make of the gowns, they will
be rather more ornamented than has
been the case. They are to have but
tons, large and small, and of all kinds

of material and make. The buttons
will be put on wherever there is room
for them and will be attached for or
nament as much as for utility. There
will be pockets in the coats and pock
ets in the skirts. A determined effort
will be made to supply women with
receptacles for the small baggage that
they always carry about with them,
and that is generally clutched fever
ishly in the hand for lack of anywhere
else to keep it. Altogether there is a
prospect of much comfort as well as
style in the tailor-made gowns for the
fall and winter. As for the pockets —
well, that is another story.
A COMBINATION JACKET.
It Can Be Uaed Either (or Teas of
for the Theater.
A combination tea and theater jacket
is exceedingly captivating in style and
material. It is one of those delicate
English brocaded silks, which, in spite
of being so soft to the touch, yet are
not flimsy, but hang with a certain
dignity of their own, and the hue is
an exquisite, sheeny, crushed straw
berry tint, patterned with a small
conventional design. It Is trimmed
wjth a light-looking black jet pas
sementerie and fine black guipure lace.
The style is very simple, as the jacket
falls quite loosely from the neck to
several inches below the waist, both
back and front; but its plainness is re-

COMPORT FOR BABIES.
Inexpensive Means ot Beautifying
Thoir Living; Roomi,
Some simple contrivances for baby's
comfort which cost very little were
mentioned last week. For instance, a
section of the room near the window
can be fenced in with a clotheshorse
of several folds, upon which bright
colored chintz is tacked so as to imi
tate an Oriental screen.
If there is a little money to spend It
can be invested in colored paper pict
ures, fans, or lanterns, all of which are
inexpensive and fix the attention of
an infant. A thick unbleached sheet
hung upon the closed inside blinds,
or a more swell one of Chinese crepe
cloth, with figures or birds, trees, and
mountains stamped in blue upon white
can be kept cool by frequently wetting
The real Chinese cloth is fast navy
blue in color. In the American imitation
the color runs when the cloth is wet.
If an inside grass-cloth curtain can
be bought it will give out both per
fume and coolness when wet. Unless
the heat of the sun is too great, the
baby is all the better for a sun bath.
The cradle can be set by the window in
the sun. The child's eyes must be shad
ed. The paper shades of dark green
are so cheap that nearly every one can
afford one to put under the buff, one
which is usually hung at all windows.
In this way both light and shade are
secured; the dark : green one can be j
drawn when it is napping time, and
the; glare so distressing to the eyes of
the child thus\shjit out.
The sun bath in one of the windows is
most efficacious if the eyes are shaded.
The baby should be undressed and
placed directly where the sun will strike
the little body. Such a bath soothes
and strengthens and is especially good
for a delicate, fretful infant.
Pictures in a nursery may not be a
necessity, but they certainly affect
the child's sense of beauty as he grows
older. One of the prettiest rooms in
New York of this sort has a lovely
picture of the Madonna over the man
tel and smaller pictures of the same
tone around it. Another side wall may |
be devoted to pictures of animals, cat
and dog pictures being great favorites
with the. little folks. So many bright
pictures are now in the Sunday papers
that every child's room can be full of j
them. Canary and other birds add
greatly to the attractiveness of the
baby's room. A parrot is both amusing
and instructive.
So far as real furniture is concerned,
the less there is of it the better. Several
screens are indispensable, and are util
ized for protecting baby from draughts, j
A small white enamel bed or a plain i
cradle is suitable. The bed linen should
be changed very frequently and well |
aired, as the bedclothes have much to
do with the health of the child.
A small hammock swung from corner
to corner, furnished with soft mattress
es and pillows, is a capital suggestion.
In it baby can take his day naps, se
curely fastened in, while its gentle
swinging will keep him quiet and con
tent while he is awake. It is far bet
ter than an ordinary cradle.
Ail the chairs needed in a nursery are
comfortable rockers, for whoever takes
care of a child must have an easy seat
which sticky little fingers will not
damage. It is well to have an eye to
the future in such furnishing, and all
small boys and girls dote on nursery
parties and sugar cakes galore, and
get them, too.
Apparatus for the bath may be kept
either in a convenient closet or behind
a screen when the nursery is a corner
screened off. A table on which to put ,
a tub is a useful article and spares
many a backache. A baby basket, a
hamper, and a chiffonier may fill In |
odd corners.
Little ornaments and pretty cheap |
vases are desirable in such a room to j
educate the eye of the child.
There should be a frequent and, con- ;
tinuous renewal of air in the nursery.
This must be done cautiously, how
ever, especially In the fall and winter.
Before the room is thus purified chil
dren should be removed to another
room and shielded from all draughts i
and dampness.
The temperature of the nursery should
be carefully regulated, always even,
and during the first few weeks of a I
child's life it should never go below 70 j
degrees. It Is easier to keep a room t
warm than cool, but the use of the
! wet sheets will greatly help to lower '
the temperature.
Whea tbft children are girls they will j
ii
notice a dell before any other thing.
The natural tendency of every mother
is to do for her little one just what
she has seen done by her own mother,
or any mother at whose maternal du
ties she has assisted in a friendly way.
As the women of our great middle
class are domestic in the extreme in
their habits and tendencies, and very
helpful mutually, their conditions of
life soon call out the maternal instinct
which is more or less deeply implanted
in the heart of every woman. A child
will cry for a doll almost before she is
weaned from her mother's breast, and
no sooner is a little girl able to tod
dle than she Is seen dragging about
a doll, often bigger than herself. The
difference in the natures of boys and
girls is more plainly shown, while they
are yet little tots, In the manner of
treating dolls than in almost any other
way. The little girl cries at her dol
ly's woes more than at her own. When
her little brother maltreats It she
weeps as if her heart would break, and
nearly broken, indeed, it is when he
lets out the sawdust with which it is
filled.
While little girls are yet in pinafores
their best-loved play is that of the
"little mother." Their doll babies, their
family cares, their little tea parties,
all are as real to them as the maternal
cares of mature womanhood. So make
their living rooms as pretty and home
like as possible so that, as they hold
llheir (Jollies, they can be mothers
themselves. —Juliet Corson.
RUSK.
How to Make It and How to Bake
It.
A dried rusk is a pastoral sort of
bread recalling the feasts of Phyllia
and Corydon under the green trees,
with plenty of berries and flowing
bowls of milk. These dried breads
date back to the earliest classic times,
when for convenience large quantities
of bread were baked and prepared so
that they would keep a long time-
German rusk is usually slightly
sweet, but the time-honored recipe here
I given is made without sugar, and is
especially delicious when served with a
creamy glass of iced milk in summer.
It may be eaten fresh, as it is an ex
-eellent biscuit.
Add half a' cupful of butter to a
I pint of luke-warm milk. Sift enough
| bread flour with a teaspoonful of salt
I to make a batter about as srif as you
I can stir it. Beat in half a cupful of
heme-made yeast or half a yeastcake,
and finally add two eggs and beat
the batter until it is in blisters. In
summer it should not rise over eight
or ten hours, according to the weather.
In the morning add merely enough
flour to roll out the dough. Let It
rise two hours; then roll it out until
I it is a little less than half an inch
thick. Cut it into small cakes and
put one on top of the other until they
are all paired and let them r's* for
half an hour longer. At the e*d of
| this time bake them for about twenty
minutes in a quick oven. When they
are cooled a little, separate the cakes
and pile them loosely in a large drip
ping pan, with their soft side up. Set
them in the closet under th-s oven to
become thoroughly dry for a day or
two, and then hang them up In a bag
J in the kitchen near the range to "cure"
j for three or four days longer. Where
there is no range closet under the
oven the rusk may be put in the oven
at night after the fire is covered and
the draughts turned off. and left till
morning. They will not be very much
browned— merely dried and crisp. Like
all rusks, these biscuits are better for
keeping a week or even a fortnight.
