A skirt of fourteen breadths will teem ti many women to require a too extravagan amount ot trimming , particularly If ever ; scam Is to bo trimmed , as Is much tin fashion , and so It should ; be said that skirt : ot ordinary gores are neb out of fashion. 1 plain skirt of front , side gore and back 1 very fashionably made with the front breadtl bordered all round like an apron , say with ni edge of fur and a thread of. embroidery o a passementerie applique Inside , and the sain border all round the toot.

Have ; high turn-over collar and sleeves like thos , described above , running down on to th hand. Finely checked velvet Is very fashionable It Is not as dressy as plain velvet , and I suitable rather to out-of-doors toilet and da wear ; but I have seen n gown of It In blac , , .nnd rose , made for the Countess C tskl , ths was quite beautiful enpugh for a diner Intlm even at the Grand Chateau , where It Is to b worn. A facing of black velvet Is on th .skirt , the upper edge cu > In Inverted scallop and bordered with Jet , and from the angl ot each scallop down over the black a vert cal strip of sparkling cut jet passementcrli Jf. . . . . _ SHEPHERD'S PLAID.

So only the few cling morbidly to the vi that swathes the body and hides the fac The change Is commended for hygleti reasons , and physicians strenuously unite discountenancing the practice. Also with this Innovation a briefer perl of absenting one's self from visitors or sm : affairs prevails. U Is never good taste for widow to return to society formally und eighteen months after her bereavement , b sisters and daughters reappear to the exte of Informal teas and "at home" days aft six months of mourning. Many of t smart women of New York even mlnj whlto with the sombar color at that staj and several consider it strictly correct tote to the , play , or even to the opera , In stre A fortnight after n death the faml should send out mourntng cards , as , for I stance , ex-Secretary Whitney did tlter M Whitney's death. The black bordered e velopes sent to all the member * of their v lllns- list enclosed the mourning cards himself and daughter.

Nothing should bo written op them either time ; expressions of regret are und stood by the courtesy of the card leaving.

The Dryn Mawr girls are particularly en thusiastic over this sport , and the Smith college - lego students are In training for a match game someday Thanksgiving week. , A picked nine from the sophomore class will bo pitted against a picked nine from the freshman class. The Smith college girl Is Immensely Interested In basket ball , which she also calls cradle ball. At llryn Mawr the students are equally as devoted to this game , Indeed , their In terest In It Is tremendous , and vies with five o'clock teas and theatricals In mitigating the ennui of 'varsity life. The freshman and sophomore classes are particularly allvo to this sport ; Miss Klsa Uowman Is the captain of the sophomores' nine , while Miss Corlnno Putman Is the leader of the freshmen. WHY THE GAME IS POPULAR. The beauty of the game or ono of Its beauties , for It has many Is that It can bo played by any number , and the more the merrier. It Is usually voted. The. Ideal num ber , however. Is nine on each side. There Is a goal keeper , two backs to assist , a cen ter , a right and left center , tWo forwards and a homo man ( I. e. , woman In this case ) . The end and aim of the game la to tors a ball , which Is the alzo ot a small foot ball , Into ono of the two large baskets suspended at each end of the field. The winning1 side Is the one that lands the ball In the oppon ents' basket. The basket Is placed about ten feet high. When the game Is played In the gymnasium the basket Is bracketed to the side of the wall. For outdoor use , It Is supported at the same height by an upright post. The , price of baskets or goals Is $15 per pair for Indoor use ; when supplied with a jplpe or post for outdoors , the cost Is somewhat more. The balls , which are covered with leather and about twenty-four Inches In circumference , cost about $3 each ; a rubber-coated ball can be purchased for $1.15. Basket ball can bo played In a gymnasium , In a largo room , or a small field , or a large field ; If In the latter , as many as thirty or fifty players may take part. APPROPRIATED BY WOMEN. The man who originated the game or In vented it , or whatever the proper word may be , did not Intend It merely for amusement , his Idea was to provide a good , all-around physical exercise , and as such It cannot ba Improved upon , combining as It does runnlnr , jumping , bending and twisting ; nearly every muscle and Joint In the'body Is brought Into exercise. " Mr. James Nalsmlth of Springfield , Mass. , originated basket ball about three years ago. As soon as It became known among the gym nasiums It spread like an epidemic. Prima rily intended for young men , for whom most of the good things of lite are Intended , It was soon taken up by ycung women , who de clared that If there was anything good In the game they would like to become ac quainted with It. The girls forthwith bought n book of rules , which they mastered In very brief order , donned their gymnasium costumes and began playing at once. The fine points of the game , however , wera only acquired by practice. RULES OBSERVED. The three players who are designated as "forwards" occupy the third of the ground nearest the opponents' goal ; the "centers" occupy the middle third , and the "backs" the defensive third of the ground. The "for wards" of ono team stand near the "backs" of the other. Out of doors , with plenty of room , the field may be 150 feet long , the goal lines running through the baskets perpendicular to THE BASKETS. ho length of the field ; the side boundarle 100 feet apart. The ball Is put In play by the referc : hrowlng It up In the middle of the field ; thi B done at the commencement of the game at the beginning ot the second half , afte each goal and when a foul 1ms been inadi The time of play Is two halves of twent nlnutes each. A goal IB made when the ball la thrower or batted from the ground Into the basket provided It stays In. It Is a foul It the ba ! a struck with the fists or kicked. The ball must bo held by the hands , th arms or body may not be used for holding liNe No pushing , tripping , shouldering or strlh ng la allowed ; Infringements ot this rut count as a foul. The score la counted by points. A gos counts three points ; a foul , one point fc the opponents. A majority of points decide the game. THANKSGIVING SOUVENIHS > . Clmrinlnc Now Pavora that Will 15o eUToen friends. Brownies In all colors and attitude are to bo given as favors on Thanksglvln day , either sent as gifts or forming part of dinner. The favorite device for a table souvenir Is sizable llttlo follow with a burdensome pack c chocolates on his back. For larger glfl they are mounted by dozens on fancy boxe filled with bon trans. Two hundred of th packmen have been ordered from a cand store to supply a college dinner , the Ilrowi les wearing striped sashes of orange an black. Sweetmeat boxes are all taking approprlal shapes for the day , and the fortunate wome who are so pleasantly remembered will fin their gifts artistically designed after turke gobblers and wishbones. Some will t mounted by a sterling silver wishbone bavin a strip at the back which forma an easel an small hooks projecting to serve as pen rest U will be a charming addition to one's wrl Ing table. It Is quite the best form to inclose In thei boxes any small silver ornament , and quli number ot daintily bound prayer bool and hymnals are to be sent with violet ThU Is an eupeclally appropriate thought , i the holiday la observed With religious rlti more than merry making. I have also heai of some exquisite rosaries as gifts to thcx In the Catholic faith. "But devices for the men are Just as muc desired as for the women , " said one who wi lit showing mo some of the orders for Thank s ; giving , "and , " she continued , "you would 1 li astonished to flnd how many men love cand We have a constant stream that pours I nga buying small boxes that they may hide a their coat pockets. " lit For their men friends women have orden m Brownies , ot coune ; who. Instead ot carr its Ing chocolates , are loaded with clean. Fo nt balls In favorite colors are designed no leather , tied with bows of velvet ribbcn ai Is filled with peppermints. Larger ones a ire fitted up to hold : pipes or cigars on a imokli eyn table. Cigar boxes ot papier mache are fill ° n out with chocolates , and high hats of biai are bound with the college colors ot the r celver and filled with bon-bons. The ha are made durable enough to serve as rece tacks for Invitations or cards. f lid FOH FASHIONABLE WOMEN1. to One of the newest thing * to tend a , BUI a woman Is a theater bonnet ot the most pro nounced English typo with tha lingo bow of , satin ribbon at the back and email gold or Jeweled pointed crown. To this crown In stead ot lining Is attached a sizable silk bag filled with candles. When the lining Is re moved the chlo llttlo bonnet serves Its right- Tut use. These are some of the gifts for the day of thanks. As to decorations for that most mportant function the dinner chrysan- then-turns are to form n great part. How- themums aer to form a great part. How ever , a noted Broadway florist "promoter" tells mo he Intends to Introduce holly. This Is a decided departure , ns Christmas Is the rightful legatee ot that one of nature's be quests , but this florltt has the berry ready in tlio shop , and Jo 'going to use It on some of tils most fashionable customers. He will Form A huge wleUbono of It In the center ot ono table , making an outline ot leaves about it ; IU JolnlnRiplace will bo accentuated by an licrolc bow ofi holly red ribbon. At cither end of the table will bo great cut glass-vases of American beauties. The favors are to bo crimson satliif hand-painted boxes of bon- Lions with tiny judlock and key ot silver , that they may * crve as handkerchief boxes after. I I Jo At one dinner in Jack Homer plo Is to bo made of papier irtflcne ; the slices designated for their owners by broad yellow satin ribbon attached , thebnlrtic painted on its surface. Each guest Isntoitlraw , and wilt flnd his pet liobbImpersonated. . The man who has grown rich manufacturing stoves will get a toy stove. The gen who Is fond ot the races , a tin thoroughbred ; the daughter who Is an expert golf player ; finds her ball and stick , and so It goes. ' " * A dainty Idea to bo carried out by n Fifth avenue matron Is to give to each guest as souvenirs , calendars for the coming year , the frontispiece being a masterly water color of the guest , taken from a photograph and painted by a good portrait artist. It will bo a souvenir to retain for one's grandchildren. Potted plants are to constitute a most pop ular remembrance , especially the great ragged Japanese chrysanthemums. They grow from eight to fifteen blooms , cost from $5 to $3 , and last about four weeks , being , therefore , inoro satisfactory than other varieties ol flowers. Terus are always desirable and the pot tied with a huge bow of carnation rib bon constitutes aa graceful an attention as the most fastidious woman would desire. I'Al'Kll rilOUKS. I'rctty Fancy Urcuoi Mudo ut Improved Crepe I'uper. There Is a new wrinkle In dresses. As a matter of fact they are all wrinkles , for they are made from the pretty crepe tissue papci that Is far more' crumpled than the hornet ot the cow that figured In the talc ot the house that Jack built. Latest of all , a clever modiste , who had an order to produce something unique in n dress for a fancy costume party , where the gowns arc nil to be artistic and not comic , has made a dream of a dress of the nen American paper crepe , which costs 30 cents a bolt or roll. . The model has for a skirt lining a dainty white lawn petticoat with lace frills about the foot. As the tissue skirt Is attached to It only at the belt , and Is tacked here and there below with easily removable threads , the pet ticoat , after serving Its assumed purpose as a lining , will , with a few snipped threads bo intact for Its original use. The bodlct lining Is n ready made corset cover of flue muslin , which can be had In any of the shop ; for a quarter In a good fitting pattern. The fair wearer Is to Impersonate the ' { Spirit of the Edelwelsse , " nnd the gown Is made of the whlto crepe paper with garni tures of edclweUse blossoms , a suggestloi ot the palest pink'being Introduced to sug gest the blush of the dawa upon the pure beauty of the snowy edelwelsse. Each bolt of tha crepe supplies for 3C cents three and a third yards twenty Indie : wide. The flowers can bo had already made or made to order , from any one of the now numerous manufacturing artists In crept paper , or deft fingers can make them a home. For flower making It Is economical te buy the small pieces which measure ten bj eighteen Inches and sell for 35 cents ; dozen. , The cdelweisce uress Is not seamed up Ir cither skirt or bodies , for although thc > papei fibre Is surprisingly tough , prettier effect ! are had by catching the seams together , a : In this Instande , .with knots of tiny blossoms The pale plntt Is1 introduced down ono 'sidi of the skirt unQer'overlapping breadths of tin white , which 'aro'held ' by trailing clusters o the flowers , looking for al ! the world natura enough to be tlie'Veal Alpine beauties. The bodice is loV with a tfiiy ruchlng of thi pink about the shoulders , and falling away It place ot a bortlia'Is a fringe of the blossoms There are large -puffed sleeves of tha pink and the only seams In the bodice are on thi shoulders and ! under the arms , where tin crepe IB lapped and held with a single fln < vine made of 'the blossoms. All the strain ot course , Is upon the lining underneath. An Immensely fetching frock to be won by a dashing brunette at a forthcomlni Smart charitable 'bazaar , where she is to bi eneof the faahlonablo sales girls , Is to b wholly In a beautiful ruby shade with trim mlngs _ of ruby taffeta ribbon. Pale yellov would" make a love of a dress , also palo vlo let , or apple green. In ordering cither thi violet or yellow It will bo necessary to as ! 'or the "medium' Uiado in each case , as thi shades listed by the dealers as "light" li tlicjo shades are too pale for evening wear. There Is no limit to the combinations tha can be made with the variety ot tints to b lad , and any pretty evening frock can b copied In the crepe. A colored silk pettlcoa makea a good lining for a colored paper crep dress , and the white corset cover could stll Jo utilized if one did not care to go to th trouble of buying colored ( Inlng , and th greater trouble of fitting It. Necessity is no longer the best mother t Invention. Ingenuity has usurped the throne Some Novel Funcy Work. The only real novelty In needlework tha the season bas shown so far is In part a re vlval. Tapestry work In old-fashioned cross stltcl done on canvas was seen In some few In stances last year , but not until this presen autumn has the work been done upon fin satins and molro stripes. In this entirely fresh application the nov city lies. The method Itself Is old , but th effect Is entirely new and the work bids fal to bscome Immensely popular. The very handsomest completed piece o work yet seen la a large sofa pillow of dul old blue. The material Is heavy stripe * moire , combined with satin , and on thc-s latter stripes the embroidery Is done. Th pattern Is a slightly raised fleur do Us. It I worked In all hued browns , and blcndln lines with lights ot tender yellow. As It 1101 stands the silk looks like some old and rar brocade , and the colors are a very dellghl The perfect success has been obtained throug the use of exactly the best colors. Ono ele mcnt ot crudity would have spoiled th whole. The woman whose pride the cushlo Is Is an artist , Instinctively she chooses th tones that do best work. Unless others wh will follow In her wake are equally glfte they have need to pause and to gain advlci The crude sample-like work of a generatlo or two ago will not be tolerated now. Th tapestry Is like It only In the method b which It Is done. The stitch Itself any chll can learn. The- real effort lies In comblnln tones. Many of the dealers In ncedlewor designs have bits ot work started and pri pared. The canvas Is basted over the sill the figure Is complete to serve as a modi and the necessary wools and silks for con pletlon accompany each piece. Given such a outfit and auch a start , there U no espech skill required to finish what Is already Ix Kim.

TKETIIINU JIAIIl K9i .Sumo ot tlio Itlnkn Children Hun in Outline Tlirlr lint Troth. From the time n baby begins to teeth till ho first molar IB through his life Is not only mrdcnsomo to himself , but to every ono else. Next to colic teething ranks ns the greatest lecp destroyer , and , moreover , carries so lany Ills In Its train that many llttlo ones le from cither sheer lack of care or care wrongly expended. The first teeth come through at from hreo to eight months , and nro followed at In- ervnla by the others. When the baby forces verythlng Into his mouth and "slobbers" ontlnually the teeth are shooting Into the urns. Eonio time after the first one , then mother peepi through , and then follows a ircathlng spell. In our grandmother's day every ailment itherwlse unaccountable , was laid to teething. .tatter day doctors not only disavow this , nit even go to the other extreme and claim hat teething Is a comparatively painless peratlon. This opinion Is not shared by mothers to any great extent , -for observation ends lo prove the contrary. Even slight iressuro gives pain , white gentle rubbing cases lie nch ? . The truth Is , teething upsets the system , mil EO makes the Inroad ot disease easy. 'ho stomach and bowels are especially af- eotcd and from not being attended to produce onvulslons , spasms , cramps , etc. , and In- Identally a very nice mortality , The stomach U nearly always the aggres- or. Overfeeding Is one cause , and unsulta- lie food , too heavy for the delicate organ o digest , Is another. Up to the sixteenth t r\t I tr fc/r" P""rV g -if/f.f t-ryr. ' , . * t-lvp. ' UPPER AND LOWEH SETS. month a baby needs nothing but milk. At this time the first molar Is on Its way , and eight more teeth to come. A judicious diet will obviate a great many troubles otherwise encountered at this time , for the stomach and the eye teeth ( canines ) which follow the first molar , cause great disturbance to the system , which Indiscriminate feeding fosters. The worst feature of teething Is convul sions , not only terrible to look upon them selves , but leading to so many other evils , Idiocy being the worst. Hot water Is the sovereign cure , cither a foot bath or full length. Thin cloths dipped In cold water should be laid on the forehead , and If the doctor has not come by the time the baby recovers consciousness , give an ancma ol warm water and castllo soap. This causes the offending matter , If there Is any , to pass off ; all after efforts must be made toward warding off others. A light diet , pure air , cool head and warm feet all tend to this end. end.Tho The bowels require particular attention during teething. Any great Irritability or fever can often be cured by a phyalc. II moderately loose , they need no care , but 11 bound , they must be looked after at once. The mouth nnd teeth , too , need dally care From the day a child Is born Its mouth should be washed out with pure \\arm water , and once In a while borax water , which not only sweetens the gums , but often pre vents "sore mouth , " once considered a neces sary adjunct of babyhood. As the teeth de velop they should bo carefully looked alter , and any decay taken to a. skillful dentist. The subjoined diagram shows the first and permanent sets complete. The central In cisors are the first to bo cut , at from the thlrJ to the eighth month. Then come the lateral Incisors , up to the tenth month. The flrsl molar or bicuspid , up to the sixteenth month the canine cr eye and stomach up to thf twentieth month , and the second molar up ti the third year. After this there Is a cessa > lion of cutting , the first set being complete up to the sixth year , when the molar knowr as the sixth molar , the first permanent tooth comes In. These first teeth should never be pulled til ready to come out of themselves , with tin Idea of bettering the second set. ThU li another Idea relegated to the past. The root ! of the first teeth are absorbed by the second and the teeth shed when the permanent one ; are ready to come through. Generally th < longer the first are retained the better tin second ones are. This sixth molar Is verj often classed among the first teeth by mother ; and allowed to decay unrestrained under thi Impression that another will follow. Tin dentist often Is the first to tell them of thei ; error. The first shed are the central Incisors , a about S years , the lateral follow In anothe : year , the first and second bicuspids In twi nore , the canine next , and the second mola ; at about 12 years , which gives It the name o the twelve-year molnr. The wisdom teetl are the last , end the set Is generally com pleted al 21 vsars. The lower teeth nearly always come througl first , two or three months before the upper When the operation Is reversed many think I a herald of early death , of which , of course examples are not wanting. A prominent chll dren's doctor says ho has found a tcndenc : to teft-handedness to go with this condition and cites many patients to carry out hi ; theory. It Is almost criminal for mothers to neglec their children's teeth. Sweet stuff shoult 30 prohibited as tending lo rot them , the dall ; cleansing Insisted on , and an examlnatloi made every three months to forestall decay Aching teeth should never be treated habltu ally with oil of cloves , creosote , etc. , becaus these- only glvo present relief while assUtlnj decay. A 2cent ! bone filling will stop th < ache and preserve the tooth , and be a causi of deep thankfulness In after years to botl parent and child , 1'nmlnliie Notr * .
