FINE COLOR EFFECTS.
Many thin gowns seem to depend on color
for their effect and are very llttlo trimmed.
Soruo are In crosswise tucks. The whole
blouse Is In Inch tucks'running round and
the skirt Is tucked to the knee. The sleeve
tops are tucked also. This seems to glvo
body to the material and kc < n > It In form.
Such gowns If elaborated have a band of
black velvet ribbon sot between each tuck.
For foulards especially this Is the latest Idea.

AUTUMN SUGGESTIONS.
The reader's attention Is called partlci
larly to the above toilet , an It has In
some elements for autumn. Gowns will 1
made like this In cloth , and the matcrlft
and colors In the hat nro the latest woi
In millinery.
A toilet that had much success was
black trlinmod with bands of black gillpui
laid over orange. The material wi
ctnmlne. A wide band of the trimming rn
down the front of the blouse nnd down tl
front of the shirt to the foot. Then tl
remainder of the blouse was covered wit
narrow bands of the guipure running roun
The top of the slccvo was formed of tv
double ruffles , one falling over the otht
and both striped round llko the blotis
Manilla straw hat trimmed with black vc
vet nnd flowers ,
An Idea that has been popular all summi
Is Illustrated In n gown of pcvres blue vel
Ing trimmed with narrow white soutacl
braid. The upper part of the blouse to tl
top of the neckband nnd out to the vet
edge of the rolling collar , nnd the skirt I
the knees nro covered with bands rim tilt ;
round. The braid docs not go directly r
the blouse , but on n yoke collar wit
epaulettes attached , the whole making 01
rounded outline over thu sleeves. I hn\
seen at ono of the dressmakers n modi
like this for autumn cnrrlcd out In grco
cloth nnd brown snutnche.
Plaids nnd checks continue their trim :
phant career. Nothing Is In more fnvi
with chic women. The cnecks are In bint
nnd white only ; If color Is used somcthlr
Is lost from the style. This something
simplicity. There Is little now to say as
their make-up. They absorb quantities
black velvet ribbon , and black , white ni
silver braid. Some In silk made for cor
mnnlous wear are trimmed with plaltlni
of black chiffon. Thus a checked silk ski
has three flounces of black chllTon and tl
blouse Is covered with the chiffon.
Some of the new Jackets have flarlr
cuffs at the wrist. They arc not very wld
but they stand almost straight out , and ai
slashed In two places. Very few polntt
rcvers are seen ; they arc for the most pa
all straight and run down to the edge i
the Jacket.
Very much admired arc gowns of blac
foulard flowered with a large pattern. Tin
are made up without a vestige of trlmmln
the pattern being quite decoration enougl
The skirt Is shirred round the hips ai :
hangs very full , and the blouse Is shim
or else has some full yolc drapery. Tl
Idea Is to cut the material as little as po
Bible. The style of these gowns Is In the
simplicity. They are considered ceremon
ous enough for dinner and evening wca
The necjc Is made high , as Is that ot all hi
the ball gowns at present , hut the sleevi
may stop at the elbow If desired.
MATINEES AND TEA GOWNS.
More things than the long traveling cloa
toke their cue from the loose box coat. Th
morning gown used to bo fitted behind an
bolted In front , but now It touches the flgut
nowhere but at the shoulders and hanf
loose all round without suggestion of bel

plaited , or else they have plaits only In th
middle of the back and front , according t
the material. Thin ones are made of ecr
battsto and of light wools printed llko th

white on blue , white on black , red on whltt
Very delicate ones are of dotted Swiss mm
Iln over color. They fall from a yoke and th
loose sleeve reaches over the elbow. Warme
ones are of flannel. I have seen one of grn
flannel , side plaited , and trimmed wit
bands of narrow black velvet ribbon , a clue
tor of bands near the foot , another part wa
up and a third Just below the black velvc
yoke. Square epaulettes of velvet fall out 01
the sleeve , carrying out the line of the yoke
And another of plaid annel In which thcr
Is much white and yellow , trimmed als
with black velvet.
A rr.oro formnl style of house dress I
made with a Garibaldi blouse and a fill
skirt In plaits or shirs. The blouse I
gathered on the shoulder under the stra ]
stitched down over the scam , a stltchc
box plait Is down the middle and th
hlouso droops over the belt all round. I
should bo made In soft material such a
foulard or liberty silk. This model serve
for n simple breakfast gown or for a rlcl
afternoon reception gown at home , accordlni
to the material used , and there Is consldera
bio chance to vary the design. For aftcrnooi
a pretty gown has the skirt of black llbert ;
silk printed with a cashmere pattern , and j
blouse of scarlet chiffon. Over the blous
may bo worn a sleeveless bolero of blac ]
velvet. Another has the skirt of red foul
ird and the blouse of cream chiffon , wltl
licit and collar band of black velvet.
Gowns having n similar effect are madi
also In ono piece on a prlncesso lining
This permits the addition of some loiif
lines running from the shoulders down
Dno thus made has the skirt of browi
China crepe figured with white , and tin
jlouse of white crepe. Over this nro lali
loose fronts running from the shoulder
lown to the foot , of the brown lined will

angcd n bolero effect , really a big box plali

falls loose to below the armholes , and rlsci
ilgh in the neck to form a standing collar
rho effect of this Is exquisite ,
Short house Jackets are loose also ant
itralght nil around , A pretty one of bnlzt
lannel In side plaits Is trimmed with i
iluster of black velvet ribbon , running
tround , beginning at the depth of n yoke
iml continuing around under the arms , cacti
land ending behind with a bow , which makes
> row of hews down the mlddlo of the back.
The high collar band Is circled with the
nmo ribbon , with bows behind , and bands
.ml bows are at the elbow. Other llannel
ackcts are double-breasted and plain , and
invu an applique on the edge of llannel , In
contrasting color , cut In n fanciful pat-
em , Thus , green on dark blue , dark vlo-
ct on rose. Hut such trimming Is difficult
Dr the amateur. In another style Is a Jacket
f chamois-colored cloth , trimmed with nnr-
ow white ribbon , The fronts nre open ,
, 'lth straight rovers all the way down , and
lie revers are striped across with the rib-
on , each ribbon ending In a tiny rosette ,
he same trimming covers the turn down
ollar and the lower part of the sleeves ,
mong the Jackets In silk-faced mollcton , an
ffectlvo one Is made of gray-blue , lined
iroughout with black silk , The collar Is
iced with the black , and the sleeve , made
i a loose puff to the elbow and ending In
rulllu. has the ruflle lined with bluck.
Is finished with blue ribbons.
CHILDREN'S DRESS.
Following the taste for long lines , chll-
ren of both sexes are wearing , as has been
ild In a former letter , blouses of extra
ngth , This entails for'the girls a skirt In
roportlon , and for the boys a sailor collar
i large that It looks like a roof. If knee
ousers are worn then so much of them
i covered by the blouse that they , llko the
klrt , have an air of being very short , and
hen long sailor trousers are worn they
re made less wide than ordinary , so as to
[ cover In appearances some of the length
nt off by the blouse. It goes without say-
ig that not all children are thus dressed ,
ut this Is a well defined style where the
: st Is vogue or commonplace.
As model of full dress for children may
D cited a costume being worn by the 6-
nr-old son of the countess of Sayvo. Sailor
ousers down to the heel of line black
rise ; blouse of white serge , with sailor
illar of red silk covered with Irish guipure
ce. Sailor knot of red silk. Manilla
raw hat with large rolling brim ana black
band. And another costume being worn by
thu little son ot the countess dc Pnnlsse-
Sassls. Short trousers of dark blue serge ,
nnd blouse of white alpaca , with blue silk
collar , on which arc stitched two bands o (
whlto silk near the edge ; sailor knot of
blt > silk ; hat like the first. The hnlr la
worn short. It Is to be remarked , however ,
tlmt some boys ot this age have the hair
In curls.
For girl's dress great use Is made of flax-
colored batiste , which has been found both
practical nnd cheap. The thicker qualities
are not transparent nnd so can be made
up over ordinary cotton linings. When :
elaborate dress Is wanted the thin linen Is
used to make a transparency over color. At
n full dress model for n 12-year-old girl may
be described a toilet being worn by the
daughter of the Countess dc In Landc. It
Is of flax-colored linen over blue silk. The
blue skirt Is gored and reaches nearly tc
the nnkle nnd the linen covers It smoothly
and Is quite untrlmmcd. The linen Is
pialtcd over the blouse. The sleeve Is close
and wrinkled , with n puff nt the top , like
an adult's ; blue sash tied behind ; white
breeder of It known , It the princess looks
kindly on his offering and cap bo aroused
to special Interest In the btcca. the puppy
represents that thnt particular type of dog
Is guaranteed an era of fashionable approval
In London society. >
In the Inst English dog * hJw ( this was
successfully demonstrated when1" ( he princess
benched a handsome new Rirssl.ln hound , a
Dorzol , nnd carried off qn 'armload of
prizes. The beautiful creature ! 'belonging ' to
the Imperial family of wolf hMun-ls , of which
the czar possesses the noblest' specimens ,
was sent the princess two yours nco by a
Russian dog fancier of notd rind since the
stntcly Alo.x , In his roURh. white nnd fnwn
colored coat , carried off first honors every
loyally fashionable woman In England has
purchased or bid for a Uorrnl uuppy.
As n matter of fact , three ftnll , slender
dogs are scarcely to bo valuedr except for
their beauty and quiet companionship , but
the princess apparently especially delights
In her Russian hound chiefly for his size
nnd gentleness , as. In nil her kennels , not
one lap dog nor one fierce specimen of the
canine race Is to bo found. The only little
fellow she ever owned was n bright eyed
Japanese spaniel , the breed from which all
our King Charles' and nicnhlm's come and
"Jnp , " as ho was called , was by her spe
cial order painted Into her portrait by
Liiko Fields. With this exception all her
doRM are Inrgc hardy outdoor pets. Sev
en magnificent collies alone nro counted
In her collection. Sandrlnshnni Dainty ,
nnd Newmarket Nicety , being among the
prize winners nnd her fnvorltcs. whllo four
great danes , two snowy and two tinted
Pomeranians , a couple of dignified Scottish
deer hounds , n whole troupe of smooth coated

leghorn hat bound with black velvet and
trimmed , with blue satin ribbon. The rib
bon Is twisted Into a rope and the rope
passes around the bottom of the crown and
again close to the top of the crown still
twisted , and Is made Into a bow of standIng -
Ing loops at one side.
A new Idea In the trimming of children's
gowns Is to make applique patterns with
thin sleazy ribbon or silk braid. The ribbon
Is drawn up with a thread on one edge
where It Is needed to form curves. As an
example of this work Is a blue veiling gown
with the blouse front covered with an irreg
ular spiral pattern in white ; also a brown
mixed wool with brown ribbon on the skirt
and jacket.
The hats worn all Bummer by little girls ,
of a straw crown and chllton runic for brim ,
have grown In size till they look somewhat
extravagant. A now Idea Is , a close bonnet
covering the cars and tying under the chin ,
an exact copy of the women's bonnets of
1810. I have seen one on a child of 5 In dark
blue trimmed In the outside- with long-
stemmed rosebuds. No bow and no other
trimming.
The fashion In halrdresslng for little girls
Is that which may be seen in the well known
picture by Velasquez ot the Infanta Mar
guerite. That Is to say , the hair Is parted
on the left side nnd some hairs are caught
together on the right side opposite the
among the Inhabitants of a ' 'row of little
artistic houses In Sandrlngham grounds ,
always pointed out to visitors''OB "Her High-
ness's village. "
The village , of course , Is the kennels ,
where every dog sits unVicr his own vine
and fig tree and lives In supreme luxury
while two accomplished trainers and vet-
erlnnrles have an eye to1' ' their health and
manners. At one end of nit'1 ' row ot canine
homes Is a neat little house used as an In
firmary , where Invalids are succored and
where many valuable little puppies take
their first peep nt the wftrld. '
A-3 often as twice or three times a day
the princess Is among her1 pets' , feeding , cod
dling , sympathizing , taking out for exercise
or photographing some special beauty , and
about the grounds of Sandrlngham , when
riding along the ccimtrj' tah'es or visiting
cottagers , there Is Invariably a dog at her
heels. She subscribes liberally to all the
dog hospitnls and homes , is the first pa
troness of the Ladles' Kennel association
and one of the few women competent to act
on a committee of Judges at a bench show.
Perhaps her especial pride as a breeder
of gcoil dogs Is felt for her noble family of
Pomeranians , not one of wliich but shows
every point of high birth. Her white ones
have all those rare signs of beauty and good
blood , deep dark eyes ana Ink black noses ,

One of the very most enthusiastic dog
lovers In all England Is her royal highness ,
the prlucens of Wales. The same amount of
money that her Imperial mother-in-law
spends on fat cattle and her husband de
votes to horses and his stables the princess
lays out on kennels , that are the Ilnest
owned by any woman In the United King
dom , and at present shelter a dozen varieties
of canine t > cauty.
Not a dog fancier or breeder In Europe
but knows of her Interest In these pets , her
knowledge of an animal's good points and
her splendidly appointed kennels , and at In
tervals she receives from some famous stud
a particularly handsome puppy , Naturally
the imall dog la sent as a gift , but thu
ore the orange , black and 'chocolate tinted
Spitz In her group , for they1 are as dllllcult
to find and raise as chlncllla poodles or
pure-blooded Dutch pugs : When In her
royal highness' kennels a family of puppies
arrives , orders Invariably ro forth that not
a single Infant must bo destroyed , and.
after making her own private selections
from the litter , the princess takes Infinite
pains In settling her tiny pVotegea lu secure
and comfortable homes , Tile puppies , when
large and strong enough to leave their
mothers , are carefully distributed among
friends and relatives of the royal family ,
after their births have been registered In a
big recording book. Occasionally a Sand-
rlngham puppy Is sent anrely over ecas ,
oven as far as Russia and Greece and always -
ways with a moving appeal from the gentle
donator that great favor will bo shown the
llttlo animal for her sake.

"Tho fact Is , " he explained almost regret
fully , "we only build rocking cradles today
to order , and when they nro usually very
small wooden ones , made almost exactly on
the pattern of the one Baby White used ,
when coming over on the Mayflower.
"Perhaps too , It Isn't Just fair to tell you ,
but I hnvo discovered that the deslro for

by young mothers , who hnvo a pretty daintily

However , n majority of modern mothers

lines , nnd explain to me thnt they wnnt
something that stands as firm as n rock , nnd
If Its a first child the price of the cradle
