"Who can witness the Christmas prepara
tions that are made and making with a view
solely to the children's comfort and hap
piness, and not he struck with the devotion
of American parents to their offspring?
The lashionable woman of to-day has but a
small family, bat, like the hen with one
chick of the proverb, she is very fussy and
demonstrative over it The consequence is
that the average American child is thor
oughly spoiled. "Woe betide the luckless
X Yowg Oiri's Party Brest.
visitor who fails to pav court to this little
tvrant, who lavs the weight of his tiny
scepter upon every living creature of the
household. . .
A party dress for a young miss is pic
tureda simple but very tasteful combina
tion of pale blue cashmere and black satin.
There is a auaintness about the style ot this
little gown'that is very pleasinc, and which
would be sure to make it very becoming to
some demure little lady who has her own
ideas concerning matters and things. Owing
to the strong friendship between Knssia
and France many of the picturesque cos
tumes of the former country have made
their way to Paris and from there here, for
v e are such a busy nation tnat we don't
alwavs have time to originate com
bination dresses or even plain ones.
It is so easy to imitate and
no hard to originate; but it doesn't follow
that the imitator has no work to do, for his
tak is often of the hardest if he does it
well that , adapt a new idea intelli
gently and accept it with modifications.
I saw two Russian costumes for children's
party wear. One consisted of a gray cash
mere blouse, trimmed with black and yel
low silt galoon, ith white skirts also so
trimmed. Black stockings, gray gloves and
white boots completed the toilet. The other
was a lovely combination ot white satin,
dark green velvet ard gold galoon, with
crav silk stockings and gray shoes.
Flokette.
Uats at the Theaters.
A large hat at the theater is an abomina
tion, and a small one becomes only a not al
ways pretty headdress. When all is said
and done, therefore, wouldn't it be better
for all women to give up wearing hats alto
gether when at places of amusement and ap
pear with uncovered heads, as they do in
English theaters?
It is argued by a great number of ladies
that they cannot take their hats off owing
to the arrangement of their hair, which is
fixed in some way that looks well with a
hat on, but is not becoming when it is off
If this it the case let them wear a lace scar),
which will protect them trom taking cold,
yet, being light enough to rest over the
most elaborate coiffure with no danger of
mussing it, will not appear at all unusual
when once it becomes the custon to arrange
the hair and not the hat for the evening
entertainments.
There are many who now either come to
the theater with this simple head covering
or remove their hats alter they get there,
holding them in their laps, but this is awk
n ard, and if managers ot first-class theaters
want this custom to prevail let them pro
vide cloak rooms such as are found in all
London theaters, and there is certain to be
a quick adoption of a plan that only needs
a leader to make it a success.
Something About retticoats.
Of course, she who leads in the world
fashionable has petticoats galore, each one
different from every other. There is one
for her walking gowns, another lor her "at
home" and yet another, which is an edition
de luxe, which is used exclusively for even
ing wear, beside those to be worn with
the tea gown and the dressing sack. Then,
too, there are exquisite petticoats designed
expressly to be worn with dancing gowns.
For example, one of pale pink chiffon
made orer a foundation ol white silk. The
chiffon is laid on in deep flounces under
bands of white silk embroidered in white.
Another prettr skirt to be worn with a
dancing costnme is of rainbow silk finished
with three tiny rnfSes, one of blue, one of
pink and one" of yellow. However, after
all, the wnite petticoat remains dear to the
sweetest and daintiest women. With its
soft flounces of embroidery or lace it has
about it a lreshness that silK cannot rival.
Fair Fads of Fashion.
There Is no prettier combination of ma
terials than that of broadcloth and velvet.
Short skirts for the street are now tno
only correct thing, both in style and reason.
The latest fancy in the way of a feminine
shirt button is a diamond, set in platinum.
Exzralti green and very delicate blue is
a very successful combination in an even
ing dress.
Pale blue, lavender and scarlet veils are
worn, hut as a general thing they are not
becoming.
Aikals' beads, white and tawny owls,
and wide-winged birds of every description
are seen on hats.
White alpaca will be popular for tea
gowns and house dresses this winter with
underlining or silk.
The high Empire belt of folded velvet is
liked, not only on bodices, bnt on heavy
cloth long coats or cloaks
rtAiDS of all kinds are in vogue: surahs
lead the way, bnt will soon bo eclipsed by
plaid velvets and plaid poDlins.
A cough needs quick and effective treat
ment. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrnp furnishes
this.
Leather and fancy oak trimmed and sil
ver clove and handkerchief cases, latest de
signs. The neatest Christmas gift of all.
