Innumerable tiny hand run tucks, narrow Valenciennes frills aet on by hand, herringbone or feather enten te and fluffy knot and bowe of ribbon are a uaual the methoda of elaboration to which the makera of parry frocka for email children resort Occasionally some variety la Introduced by mlngllngof laces, flue real baby Irlah being combined with Valenciennes, or a fine real cluny Insertion finding a plaee In the design, and of couree there ia Infinite vari ation of detail. It la In the fancy dress party that the email folk have a chance to depart from the conventional llmltatlona of child toil ets; and though, aa many mothere contend. It la a nulaance to prepare fancy costumes for the youngsters, the fun that thoae youngsters eucceed In getting out of a suc cessful costume party ought to repay any effort of preparation. The Mansion House party la London always bring out a tremendous display of the possibilities In fancy dresa for children, and lta seems rather a pity that New Tork has no corresponding function, no one oc casion upon which we may enjoy the charming spectacle of bundreda of little folk In quaint and carefully planned cos tumes whose Inspiration has been found In very land and every period. But If we hare no gTeat fancy dress party for chil dren, at least the holiday season Is full of mall affairs of this kind, and mothers, seamstresses and costumers are called upon to exercise much Ingenuity In the rnetter. Of couree, there are costumes that may be hired, chiefly of the commoner and more obvious types, end there are costumers who. If money need not be considered, will turn you out the most elaborate costume desired; but the average mother cannot hlft responsibility m this fashion and a majority of the little costumes are pre pared at home with the assistance of the family eeamstress. If the mother has taste, delightful effects may be achieved at comparatively little expense, but considerable understanding and Ingenuity must be brought to bear upon the problem If genuine success Is to result. In the first place, the possibilities of the child must be considered, and right here the fatal error often occurs. Few parents are actually able to estimate with Impartial, mind the physical charms and Imperfections of their own children. Probably the dispensation Is a merciful ne, and a child Is fortunate in Ua certainty Activities rraaaie for Hla-at Keek Gewu. WENTT-KOUR women out of the rip I million or two members of the J I sex In Oreater Nw Tork deem tue present time propitious for dress reform. Th lid has been tightened in manv directions calculated to improve the moral and hu tons of the metropolis. "Why not," they ay. -put the lid on decoUetU gowns T Ar they not dangerous to th health of th wearers and an injurious strain on th eyes of men?" No doubt of It. Tha leader of th two dosen is Docter Adelaide Waller Stein, a woman of experience professionally and socially, and ah claims to know th hidden and exposed perils of th abridged garment. Every member of the club Is Pledged never to appear in public wearing a bodice cut lower than the collarbone. "Three years ago," aald a woman, com menting on the proposed reform. "I mad a trip around the world, during which I made this discovery: That in no other country on earth is the high, stiff collar worn by women to the extent that It la worn In America. In the orient a woman Wearing a lace collar wired as high as her ears and fastened up tightly, or. a stiff linen collar, would be looked upon as a freak, and even in large European cities the fashion of covering up every smallest fraction of the neck with some sort ef .uncomfortably stiff bandage doesn't begin to be practiced as It Is right here in New York. Btlff collars ruin the shape of the neck. "Personally, I am dvoted te low-neck gowna. and seldom wear anything else of an evening, even if my neck la far from plump. Fortunately for me. bones ar in fashion." A well-known painter of the nude, al though without enthusiasm on the subject of any organisation which might wish to censor tht dimensions of a low-necked gown, nevertheless advanced on or two opinions not exactly flattering to New Tork women ef fashion, fiaid he: "There are three classes of persons In New Tork who frera an artistic standpoint frequently offend when they get into a low-necked gown. These ar th smart set, so-called; the theatrical set, and th demimonde, and the worst of the thre ia the smart set, because It considers Itself immensely superior to the other two classes. "It goes without saying that lq this class there are many exceptions- It la true also that th number of persons in this class who offend against the artistic Is larger than it used to be. At least that ia my opinion. "Tou will notice perhaps that no por trait painter of distinction ever paints a woman wearing a bodic such as may be seen any night In that sacred circle of boxes at the Metropolitan Opera bouse. The new club with the wonderful nam Is right about such gowns being demoralis ing.

Miss Catherine Gogging. secretary of the Chicago Teachers' federation, gives som startling reasons why school teachers gen erally do not regard marriage aa a de sirable vocation. Miss Goggln is unmar ried and ia proud of It. Her opinion of th "lord of creation" Is tart and yellow she regards him aa a "lemon." From Inquiry and investigation sha deduces the facts and conclusions: Ninety per cental the school teachers in the fnited States are women. Sixty per cent of these are irrevocably destined to stngls blessedness Eighty per cent of th teachers led te the altar are forced to work for their liv ing after marriage. Ten per cent of the wedded ones become divorcees. Of the remaining 10 per cent only one teacher In ten finds any bliss In married life. Thes fig-urea are based on deductions from real life," says Miss Goggin. "As treasurer of th Teachers' Federation and most active manager of the pension fund. I have had opportunity to prove m state ments by facta. There are approximately 4.000 school teachers in Chicago. Of these, klut ar women. And there are 1.000 bach elor girls now teaching Chicago's young Ideas hew to shoot. The comparison is typical of th situation all over the United States. "Th reason for these are three-fold. Ia th first place, men ar afraid of school trad. era Above all things men bat to be bossed. And they look upon young woman whs follow the vocation of school work as not only bosaers but li aggers.'.

A multitude of Illustrated books full of costume suggestions awalta study In any library, and If one does not want historic data the Illustrated children's books of modern publication offer a fertile field of search.

The Mother Goose costumes have the advantage of being seldom expensive or difficult to copy, and while elaborate historical costumes and costumes copied from famous paint- of Progressive Women in Various Walks of Life manda And this the fond husband eagerly avolda "Tha so-called master of the house doesn't want a boss for a wife. He wants a baby. He doesn't even desire th refinement and culture which a school teacher might bring Into his home. "Man holds his own liberty and peace of mind to be of greater moment than a piece of mind from his domestic partner, no matter how well equipped that mind may be. "In the second place, the schoolma'am Is afraid of ths man. Not that ahe fears him as a superior being. Her estimation is exactly opposite. Ths school teacher ia of an observing nature, and she is quick to heed th failures of her professional sister. She sees about ber so many ex amples of the failure of the marriage ex periment. ; 'The pedagogue is a gullible creatsre She la constantly associated in her work with the Immature mind. The teachers who do marry are not capable of intelligent choice. They are apt to be fooled by blarney. A smooth-tongued, sophisticated man may enthral th woman whose associ ates are the fresh, simple, youthful-minded school children. And after ths honeymoon comes misery. "The observant school teachers see this. They observe their few sisters whoa dreams of matrimonial f elicit ude ar real ized by th miseries, drudgeries and heart pangs of everyday life.

The fairy tale, too, are full of sugges tion for children's costumes, and the children of many lands are always well represented at a fancy dresa party. These foreign costumes may In some cases be as elaborate as one like. We have seen this last week a most exquisite Chinese costume prepared for a small girl to wear on New Tear's eve, and. thanks to the globe-trotting parents, the little lady will go clad In most resplend ent fashion, all rich silks and gorgeous embroideries and gold. But her little cousin, who Is to be a girl from Holland to wooden shoes and soft petticoats and muslin blouse and funny little cap, will be quite as attractive la her own way, though CO would cover the whole cost of her outfit. The Dutch costume Is a good and In expensive one for a boy. too, and Italian, Spanish, German and Russian peasants offer good models demanding little ex pense, while the Montenegrin, Servian and Hungarian costumes seem expressly de signed for first aid to comic opera and fancy dress ball costumes. We were told that at this same New Tear's eve party of which we have spoken a small boy and a girl whose pa rents are able to gratify any whims are to be dressed m exact duplicates of "Merry Widow" costumes worn by Dan tlo and Sonia In the famous dance scene; but though these costumes are delight ful It la only among the parents that they will be particularly admired. The chil dren will, as usual, give their votes to the clown and the Jester and Mephisto pheles and Red Riding Hood and the witch and the cowboy and the Indians and the rest of the old familiar figures. The flowers are sure to be well repre sented wherever children wear fancy dress. They afford opportunities for de lectable colorings and lovely effects, but they require skill and much artistic un derstanding In the designer and maker, for they are hopeless when bungled or when worn by children who cannot carry out the flower Idea. quartet of little maids representing the four seasons Is extremely pretty if well carried out, with delicate spring flowers and pinks and greens for spring, white and sky blue and roses or scarlet popples for summer, ruBsaf and crimson the school ma'am, should she not be con tent with single bliss? "In the third place, th school teacher is not equipped for the married state. She is not, as a rule, attractive to men." "Tou don't mean to Infer that tha aver age school teacher is homely T" Miss Goggln was asked. "Plain," she corrected. "Teachers are usually not pretty snd seldom can be called beautiful. The mind of the school teacher is above pomades, curling Irons, rouges and cosmetics. Her fao is no factor in de termining her fortune. A pedagogue's beauty will not change the percentage in her examination. And the school teacher has no time for specializing in dressmaking and millinery. "The beautiful girl manias before she has time to become a school teacher. And it Is a weH known rule that brains and beauty seldom go hand In hand. And an other thing, th school teacher is no adept at housewifery. ' "The average hired girl has a far better chance to make a horn happy than has the woman teacher. "And I want to say right here." con tinued Miss Goggln, with marked emphasis, "that ths average 'hired girl' is far better off than the average school teacher." Cwrae of Ens Una Facte) ry Life.

These gentlemen, with others, have drafted a circular which will be sent to the chief em ployers of female labor in the city. It says that "organised drinking clubs" are producing serious results, physically and morally, among girls and women. Th clubs are formed for the purpose of sur reptitiously getting drink Into factories to be consumed In tea and other ways, of celebrating birthdays, marriages, and other social events, and of enabling girls habitu ally to drink together in public bouses and other places, after leaving work and on public holidays, especially at Christ mas "These drinking clubs exist la nearly every case without th knowledge of the employers, but in some factories they are undoubtedly carried on with th consent of th foremen or forewomen." Canon Denton Thompson made some strong remarks upon this deplorable state of affairs. He said girls and women were "invited, encouraged, and even coerced to Join drinking clubs, and to pay a weekly subscription of a penny or throe pence or even morev or to contribute to a general collection made by one in au thority. In one case that had come to his knowledge alcohol had been used in the manufacture of coffee which was handed round the works. All the women and girls were expected to Join in the drinking, and were persecuted if they refused. He bad good reason to fear that some of these clubs were organized in the Interests of public house managers.

Weairi aw 4 ladwatry. Th president of Bryn Mawr, speaking on a toplo of unusual import, expressed th following opinion: "We are now living In the midst of great, and, I believe, on the whole, beneficent social changes which herald th coming economic independence of women. Every thing seems to indicate that women will not only make their way Into all except a few of th trades and professions, but that they will be compelled by economic causes beyond their control to stay in them after marriage. Already in teaching, nurs ing, library work, typewriting, bookkeep ing, telephoning, telegraphing, they are steadily taking possession and driving men before them." Recent observations on this great topic are as follows: "The higher education ought to fit women for the single occupation of bearing and educating children, and it is th most In tellectual occupation that there Is in the world." President Charles W. Eliot of Harvard university. "Th purpoe of higher education of wo men is to give the power of Judging men. A college graduate ahould be able to Judge human nature." Prof. William James of Harvard university. Where Ctrl Leara Trades. Miss Florence Marshall, the director of the Boston Trade School for Girls, has Just Issued the third annual report, whl:h will be found interesting reading by those who have at heart the work of women forced to support themselves. In this school a girl of any race or creed may learn the elements of a trade, such as dressmaking, millinery, straw hat mak ing and power machine operating for different kinds of factory-made clothing. Th skilled trades eagerly tak the girls who have served the apprenticeship of the school. Girls from 14 to 17, who must leave achool to earn a living, may enter thla school, and evidently, with such preparation, girls ar much better able to begin the work of life. There) Is a Dlffereaee. In England to call a woman bomtly means that ahe Is fond of anything about home and is unpretending; in the United States It means not handsome. To be clever in England means to be dextrous and with us the term signifies good-natured or honest. We say crackers, they say biscuit; our mail is the post; and a baggage check in England becomes brasses, while they say luggage for bag gage. A tramp in the United States Is a vagabond, but in England any traveler may be so called. But there is even a greater difference of terms in different parts of the Ucfted States than In the two countries.

A great many printed fabrics ar going to b worn from now on. This Idea origin ated with a certain well-known Paria de signer early last year, but did not progress very far.

The vogue of velvet is very great this year and the chiffon velvets appeal to many as the most elegant of winter fabrics. A chiffon velvet cloak In a cranberry color was trimmed with narrow ecru silk braid. There was a wide lace trimming around th neck and the sleeves were trimmed with long ruffles of the lane. The lining of th cloak was c ecru silk and a big black hat was trimmed with ecru colored feathers.

The under-arm section extends only to a point below the hips, and the front portion and sleeves are finished separately, so that the line of braiding, with that which outlines the coat itself, extends from the shoulders around the arm-side, from the under-arm piece, giving excellent lines to the whole rarment. The sleeves sre cut on the litis of a plain coat sleeve as far as the elhow, and at that point are slaxhed at the back, the corners being turned back over aeruff of th cloth, braided In an all over design. t Chut Akett Wanaeau Alnslee's Magaxlne says that tbe Ameri can girl Is brought up to think more of herscif than of marriage, and that If she feels like it she will confer herself upon some man; the French girl, on the con trary, lias been taught to think more of marriage than of herself.
