jnannßaßßi I NEW YORK FASHIONS, 112 | Designs For Costumes That Have Be- fl P come Popular in the Metropolis. p NEW YORK CITY (Special).—Large checks or fancy plaid skirts in tbis style are among the smartest worn this season. The skirt may be made ■WOMAN'S CIRCULAR SKIRT. •with or without a centre front seam, and close fit around tlie hips is ac complished by three small darts taken up at the waist line. The stylish flare at the foot (where it measures nearly four yards) is produced by its circular shaping, and the fulness at the back is disposed in backward turning pleats that meet over the placket finished at the top of the cen tre back seam. Buttons are placed ou the edges of the pleats that close with loops of cord over the placket. Camel's hair, sergo and fancy plaids, Scotch clan tartans and those in French colorings are all very fash ionable, being worn with jackets or basques of a plain color that corre spond to the darkest or most prominent MISSES' YOKE WAIST. shade in the plaid. Plain cloths, mixed fabrics and fancy stripes are all available, and foot trimming of frills, niching, braid or passementerie may be added if desired. To make this skirt for a -woman of medium size will require five yards of material forty-four inches wide. Graceful and Comfortable. The prevailing style of waist for misses is that with a contrasting guimpe. It is graceful and comforta ble, and can easily be remodelled. The model shown in the large en graving, while illustrated in white muslin with the guimpe of tucked anil ehirred material, is suited to many other stuffs. Tliin silks, such as In dia and foulard, make attractive guimpe when in contrast to a dark wool waist, and innumerable similar combinations can be devised. The foundation for the waist is a fitted lining that closes at the centre back. On it are arranged both the yoke and the full portion, but if a more dressy effect is desired for danc ing school or party wear, both yoke and sleeves can be left unlined, allow ing the skin to peep through. Bound the neck, outlining the yoke and fin ishing the wrists, are ruchings of the muslin, edged with tiny lace. The collar is high and of the tucked ma terial, but has a frill of lace, and up on each shoulder is arranged a bow of white ribbon. To make this waist for a miss of fourteen years one and five-eigliths yards of material thirty inches wide will be required. Some of the Color* In Vogue. There have been blues and blues of many shades, and now green is com ing in, and yellow combined in its many different tones is the color of colors. With the yellow is combined in some cases turquois blue. Many of the blues used are quito dark, and shades of brown are being welcomed. Brown is a useful and always ladylike color, and the ecru which is seen in hats is also a color that wears. Novel Corsage Ornaments. A new corsage pin is a diamond cherry leaf, with a gold stem and sin gle turquoise for fruit. A pink pearl of great beauty, and enormous value, is rimmed with diamonds and sup ported by two large white pearls; and xll these are set among scrolls and leaves of diamonds, with single dia mond drops, and on one side a tiny chain of diamonds. Another corsage ornament is a large shamrock com posed of three huge white pearls, set in the finest brilliants; a smaller sham rock shows a black, white and pink pearl, each encircled by brilliants, and connected in the centre by one single fine stone. A novel ornament is a ribbon of diamonds tied into a suc cession of true-lover's knots in gradu ated sizes, each bow forming a sepa rate brooch. The New Skirt Panels. The newest trimming for skirts—es pecially those o/ evening gowns—is in irregular panel. By an "irregular" panel, a straight panel from waist to hem is not meant, neither is a broad insertion outlining au apron included in this term. The new pauel may be of any shape or size, but it must cross the skirt in some manner that is grace ful and not conventional. The Newest Ties. Sailor-knot ties of pique have loose ends, which, when spread out, look like butterfly wings. French cravats of Valenciennes lace insertion and muslin are tied in loose knots with pointed ends like handkerchief cor ners. Scarfs of crepe-de-chiue vith knotted fringes are among the neveat ties, and lend themselves to varied ad justment. Pretty <Jnr<len Hats. Garden hats are prettier than ever this year. Black velvet bows and pink roses seem to be the inevitable selection for adornment. Sensible Jewel Pockets. Very sensible jewel pockets to be fastened to the waist band underneath the dress skirt are now provided. The flat pocket or bag of soft leather has an ample and convenient opening for the baud aud an inner purse with metal frame which closes securely. Serviceable Morning Gown. No material makes a more service able morning gown that is tasteful at the same time than does French flan nel, either striped or figured. The plain princess wrapper shown in the illustration is made from the material in soft shades of gray, with lines of black, and is trimmed with black bands. The adjustment is accom plished by means of double bust-darts in front, nnder-arm and side-back gores, with a curving centre seam at the back. Each portion is shaped be low the waist line to produce the rip ples at the back and the necessary width at the feet. The sleeves are two-seamed, aud fit snugly, there be ing only a slight fulness at the arm's WOMAN'S WRAPPKR. eye. At the neck is a turnover collar, and at the wrists are worn frills of lace. To make thiß wrapper for a woman in the medinm size will require six and one-eighth yards of forty-four-inoh material. j CHILDREN'S COLUMN. || The Fiiii<lrr-Hao and Kalu-Man. "I know what makes the ruin," said Bess To little brother Will. "I'll tell you all about it, if Y'll Ist keep awful .-till. "Y* see, 'way up above us—oh. So awful far V bitch, The Funder-Man 'n' Bain-Man livesj They lives up in the sky. "They's got tholr houses in the clouds— -Ist hid away somewheres, Y' cau't go up to see 'em, 'oauso They ain't got any stairs. "The Rain-Man thinks he owns tho clouds, 'N' fusses every day With Funder-Man because he can't Have everything his way. "But Funder-Man ist points at 'im 'V shames 'im awful hard; Then ltain-Man's sorry—'vites 'im to I'lay over in his yard. "Although they's friends, 'n'gets along Like all good neighbors should, Sometimes the Funder-Man gets mad 'N' whips the Bain-Man good. "Growls at 'im—'Bumble-bumble!' (you Can hear it ist as plain), Then the Bain-Man cries, 'n' cries, 'n' cries! 'N' that's what makes the rain." —James Courtney Cballis, in Chicago Rec ord. Tile Home of the Wood Klves. Have you ever seen in the depths of the forest a small clearing covered with tho softest, greenest and most velvety of moss? Around this clear ing are ferns whose fronds, bending over and touching at the top, let filter through only the softest of green light. Under these ferns, directly iu the centre of tho clearing, is a large toadstool, yellow on top and rose co.'ored on the bottom, and around it are six smaller ones, white, dotted with black. Such a clearing there was iu the woods away up in Shawano, Wis., and the children had a story that when ever such a clearing aud toadstools were to lie found there was also to be found a family of wood elves. Many a time have the children scoured over the woods litiutiug for a place of this description just to get a glimpse at the friendly elves who lived therein. Very old the father elf was sup posed to be, with a long gray beard that, as he sat upon the top of the largest toadstool, touched the ground beneath him. The six smaller toad stools wore the seats of the six sous of the old elf, and it was supposed that as their beards grew the toadstools grew larger, so that the tips of the b< ar Is always just touched the ground. So alike were the-e elf sons to the father elf that the length of t'.ie beards was the only thing that distinguished them from him. When this wonderful place was found you were to look into the ferns and say, "Father Elf, by the tree toad's croak and the foxglove's bite, answer my question." Then if the old elf was in a good humor he would *end one of his sons away immediately before tho question was asked him to get the answer, for the old elf knew what you were thinking. And then, quick as a flash, back would come his son, jump upon his toadstool, wag his gray beard at the old elf, and your question, no matter what it was, would be answered. In your rambles through the woods be sure to look for such a clearing, with its ferns and velvety moss and toadstools. If you don't see the ehes it is great fun looking for them, and you know that fairies are never afraid of children. —Buffalo Times. l'olitpnrsn of Spanish Children. I was much taken aback one day, writes Katharine Lee Bates, in the New York Times, by a rosy youngster twenty mouths of age. Not in the least expecting the infant to under stand, I said to his young aunt, who was exhibiting him with pretty pride: "What a tine little fellow!" Where upon that precocious roly-poly ducked his head in my direction and gravely enunciated: "Es favor que Usted me hace"—"lt is a compliment you pay me." I could hardly recover from the shock in time to make the stereotyped rejoiuder: "No es favor, es justieia" "No compliment, but the truth." Yot his Don Chub!>vkins sweetly re turned: "Mil gracias"—"A thousand thanks"—and I echoed this uncanny dialogue with the due response: "No las merece"—"it does not merit them." Servants, neighbors, passers-by, beggars, all prompt the children iu these shibboleths of good manners, adorning the precept with example. "Would you like togo with us to the picture gallery this afternoon?" I asked a laddie of artistic tastes at a boarding house table. "Si senora," he replied, whereupon several of the boarders, greatly scandalized,hastened to remind him, but iu the gentlest oi tones, of the essential addition "con mucho gusto," to which we were bound to reply: "The pleasure will be ours.'' The girls, even more than the boys, are bred in these formal fashions of intercourse. Every morn ing they ask if you have rested well, aud express grief or gratification ac cording to your response. In the Gulick school, mere midgets of six and eight, returning from class, will not close the doors of their rooms if you are in sight, though perhaps seated atareading table in the further end of the corridor, lest they should appear inhospitable. I have seen a thirsty child of seven, heated to ex haustion with the sun and fun of an Andalusiau picnic, refuse to tonch the water which some good Samaritan had handed up to the dusty carriage until the glass had been offered to every one else, driver included, leaving, in the sequel, little enough for her. On our midnight return from the Feria, this same nina of gentle memory, stagger ing and half crvinsr with sleemueHs. would nevertheless uot precede any ol be; - elders iu entering the home door. "After you," she sobbed, with hardlj voice enough to add: "And may yoj) all rest well!" "The same to you," chorused the adults, trooping by, and her faiut murmiur followed: "Ma»j thanks." "Shall I give you this fan when I go away?" I asked her once, "of would you ratlu.r have it now to take to the party?" She wanted it then and there, bu» what she answered was: "I shall be best pleased to take !t, when you like best to give it." You must beware of saying to £ little Spanish maid: "What a beau tiful rosebud in your hair!" Instantly the hand is busy with the pins. "7.t is at your disposal." You hastily protest: "A thousand thanks, but so, no, no, no! It is very well placed where it is." Off comes the florer, notwithstanding, and is fastened into your belt. Saved Just in Timo. Hetty Kaynor had not alwajr. lived l in Sag Hartor, but since her prand ! father had died he had left Hetty's ; mother sole heir, and so tw'> years 1 ago they had gone there U* make it ] their home. If Hetty had been the tnly child it would have been all rigtit, but she had a sister, four years older than herself, and a teasing b.'other, two years younger. She liked to be let iu all their secrets and when Coralie would gently push her away, she would ftroll oil'to the beach. One day she stood in the doorway as Coralie and Beunie were talking. "Now, you listen,Beuuie," said Cora- I lie, "and I'll teil you a secret, but ' you mustn't tell Hetty, because she can't keep a thing to herself." Hetty's eyes Hashed as her sister spoke, and then when Bcnuie ans wered, "Yes, Cora, you and I can al ways keep secrets, but I suppose it's because she's so wild." "Well!" thought Hetty, "I'll show her if 1 can keep a secret or not, and to hear that little ' snip say he can keep secrets. Oh, oh, it's dreadful and I'm two 'whole years older than he is. Anyhow, mamma and I have a sec et that thev don't know anything about, so thove's some satisfaction in that. If uir.mnia trusts me and don't tell thoni any secrets they needn't tell me theirs, localise mamma's are the best." 1 All this time she had been walking on the beach, going further and fuither fr-nn home. "My!" she ex claimed. "The sun setting, isn't it beautiful! Why, 1 wonder who owns this bout. 1 never saw it here be lore; welt maybe it's the captain's." Indeed, she had never secu it be foie. Arid she was uot likely to see it again if she didn't hurry up, be cause the tide was coming in. "Mamuia, mamma," cried Coralie, "we can't find Hetty; we were down to the be»'.li and she wasn't there." Coralie rushed iu all excited. "Can't find he ?" exclaimed Mrs. Uaynor, ""well she'll be home to din ner." And she went ou with her work. But still her thoughts were of Hetty. "Supj o>e she should go too near the water and fall ill, and the tide carried her oil' to sea?" She thought of all the dreadful things that aie imaginable. "Well," she said aloud, "I can't work until Hetty's found." She left the house with Coralie anil Beiuiie, and started to find the lost child. Meantime Hetty stood by the boat, never dreaming that the tide wus coining in, and if help didn't come soon there would be no hope, and she must soon enter her watery grave in a perilous sea. "I wonder whose boat this is," thought Helty. "Why!" she ex claimed, looking at the name, "it's JJtichelor Gray's; he'll come for it FOOU." It was petting dark and the sun had set. Hetty looked up at the clear sky above. "Ther 's tho evening star," she exclaimed; "it must be after seven. I must go." She turned to go, but welire was her ho:ue? As she was going to climb in the boat that the tide was surrounding fast, a heavy hand was laid on her shoulder and she turned,only to see Bachelor Gray, "Why, Mr. Gray," she cried, startled by the heavy touch. "Hetty." he asked, "do you know what time it is?" "Why, no," answered Hetty, look ing puzzle.l, "is it late?" "Ten minutes of eight," answered Mr. Gray, and as he did so, Hetty st.irted ou a run, and cried: "Look out, Mr. Gray, the boat's movingl" Mr. Gray quickly stepped from the ; moving boat just in time to see it go ; splash into the water and the tide ; carry it oft'. They walked home side by side and Mrs. Kaynor was just going in the £ate as Mr. Gray and Hetty were. After that Hetty knew all Coralio and Beuuio's secrets and she never strayed away from home so far again.—Brooklyn Eagle. ]laml-Or?an Profit*. J As a result of a bantering conver sation among a lot of clerks in the Lou i don bankruptcy court several weeks ago, two young men made a wager by the terms of which they were com pelled to spend a day going about the streets of London playing a piano | orga". They hired the or van foi ; §1.25 for the day, dressed up in theii j shabbiest clothes, put oil as foi'lorr looks as possible, and started out on« morning. They found the poor peo> : pie of the tenements the most sytn | pathetic and generous, and they leaped | a good harvest of coppers, with ai : occasional sixpence. At tho end o ; the day, after paying for the rent o the organ, they found they had col locied about $lO for their eight hours ! work. ill pT^LlfP^. Mothers take more pride in the garments of the baby than in those of any other member of the house hold; dresses of sheer India linen, soft flannels, dainty woolen socks, cashmere shawls, afghans in bright colors, all are the most expensive that the family purse can afford. It is not necessary that they should be renewed frequently, as almost the only wear is in the washing. Ordinary soaps should never be used; they will weaken the fibre of light materials, causing them tCr tear easily or to wear into holes. IVORY SOAP IS PURE AND HARMLESS.

During the Presidents visit to the Hot Springs of Yirgiuia he drove with Mrs. McKinley to one of the little resorts in the viciuity, where he registered modestly as William Mc- Kinley and wife. Shortly after the President had entered his name ou the register a young lady of fashion able mien approached the desk and wrote in a bold hand under it, "Miss Blank, Washington, D. C." "What have you done? What have you doue?" cried the clerk in a dis tressed tone as she laid down the pen. "What do you mean?" asked the girl innocently; "I've done nothing but write my name." "Yes," replied tbe clerk, "but you have written it directly under the President's signature, and we had intended to frame that page."
