NEW YORK , Sept. 16. There Is always so
much to bo said about the fcmlnlno sex on
the subject of clothes that small boys and
their needs are apt to bo overlooked. And
whllo wo must all admit that llttlo women
demand the first consideration on the score
of clothes , at least small boys have a right
to exact a certain degree of attention. There
ls not much difference nowadays In the mat
ter of clothes between the rising generation
and tholr elders. Simplicity and smartness
is the order of the day for the little children
of the rich. Datblng and grooming are the
first considerations , dress comes next , and
absolute freshness and freedom Is a slno qua
non. They are no longer smothered In lace
nnd embroideries , and the curly , long-haired
boby period of the boy Is growing steadily
shorter. The mother sighs tearfully at the
first crop of golden curls , but swallows her

regrets bravely , for first of all BIB wants her
boy to be manly , to hold his head erect , and
carry himself as a fitting lord of creation
should , and thereby avoid even the first In
timation of the "Klrl-boy" stigma , so apt to
cling , and cause many storms of rebellious
tears In a tempestuous childhood , for tliu
first thing n boy knows Is that ho Is a boy.
The baby period , generally accorded to the
ngo of fi , Is soon over , and very shortly after
the childish bpsom begins to swell with n
secret envy of the other fellows , their sen
iors by a year or BO , who have already at
tained the dignity of knickerbockers.

or white galatea , plain or striped. The large
yoke and shield are trimmed with narrow
white soutache braid. This Is also a pretty
fashion for making brown /Hollands / , pique or

girl frock and the more mannish kilt , which
comes next. The zouavo kilt , to bo worn
with blouse waist , Is made of fancy wool
mixtures , Scotch plaids , velveteens as well
os plain colors. The ono shown above Is of
royal blue cloth , with small braided pattern -

these Is worn the blonso waist of whlto mus
lin , tucked or frilled with round collars edged
with embroidery or lace to match the ruffle
down the front. Wide silk tics of crimson

oil or any of the colors In the rainbow , are

ply hemmed and tied In a large bow. Others

brown cheviot knickerbockers and Jacket ,
or red , whlto or blue sweater according to
season. Tbo cap Is of brown cheviot to

For high days and holidays velvet or
velveteen suits , knickerbockers and llttlo
round bolero Jackets In black , royal blue and
garnet , trimmed with silk braid. Black silk
stockkiRs and patent leather pumps.

tight trousers ending at tbo knee or Just

flush of their debut from tbo kilted skirt ,
these llttlo trousers are tied with ribbons
at the knees. The same blouse , mentioned

touch , and are denned by two rows of round
buttons. The turnover collar and wldo

Ings. A Jockey cap Is worn with this.
For boys who have Imbibed several drafts
of anglo-mamias from their much-traveled
Hlstcrs the Kton suit , from the ugcs of 10 to
14 , Is very stylish. It has , however , never
attained tbo same popularity hero as abroad.
With tLli , of course , the long trousers are
worn.
FOR LITTLE
The wise mother of several boys , or even
ono , for that matter , will see that they are
provided with overalls. These are very nec
essary for thoS)0 who have suburban homes ,
and Indulge In outdoor sports to any degree ,
as any well regulated boy In these enlight
ened days has been brought up with a proper
taste for. Overalls are a great savins here ,
and little bo s from 3 years of age to 11 can
enjoy their saving grace. The favorite ma
terial for these Is blua denim of the regular
farmer's variety and pattern. A llttlo boy
of 3 or 4 "looks too cunning for anything , " to
quote the usual fond mamma. In thcsa hlgh-
walstcd little work make-believers. The In-
Olspensablo deep outside pocket Is a conspic
uous 'feature on the right side. For boys
of this ago a funny llttlo deulm Jacket , with
outsldo pockets and uncompromisingly
straight front and back , Is sometimes used ,
making the suit complete. Older boys dis
card thU accessory with scorn , preferring to
revel In shortslecvcs aud suspenders , Just
like a man.
Blue serge suits with brass buttons are
a novelty for the coming season. Thuy are
made with medium tight trousers to the
knee , with three buttons on the outside
scams. The front and sleeves of the jacket

as the average waistcoat , nnd there are wldo
pieces extending under the arms and securely
fastened , and make an entirely separate and
distinct feature unllko the old chemlsette-
Ilko affairs , which were much shorter and al
ways slipping out. The upper part of these
has a little design , usually a sheaf of wheat
or two , forming a clrclo and embroidered In
the oanii ! color as the suit. These plastrons
are also worn with bailer suits.

Tribute to Hie Orcnt AVrllcr 111 Iii-
ilitrltiK Mnrlilr.
It was generally predicted shortly after
the death of Mrs. Harriet Beechcr Stowo that
there would soon , bo some Important me
morial Bculpture-of her and now that predic
tion Is In a measure fulflled. In the rotunda
of the state capital at Hartford , Conn. , the
old home of Mrs. Stowo during her last
years , there Is at present exhibited a model
flora of the troplM. ' Ono bountiful belt had
carved around ItTi Trprny of 'ho ' naypot vine
with bloflnonm and leaves , whllo the llttlo
purse to match cpriUlne.l on the fl.in a clus
ter of the flower * , buds nn.l tollae. An
elegant card < > i-as carvel In graceful
sprays of cactus 'Ttlossonis with a border of
Interlaced therms , A small sat'h > 1 , such as
my Isdy finds convenient on .1 short railway -
way trip or oven when driving down town ,
shows the long feathery plumes of thd pam
pas grass. As at , present these articles are
made only of leather carved In Mexico , they
r.ro still suPlclently "xpenslvo to have them
Included only among very stylish accessories
fur tl'f fashionable woman. The merchants
claim that before the season Is out come
American mamifaclnVor will Invent a ma
chine to do tho' carving and In that way
place Mexican carved leather within the
reach of these wtfmen who , though fond
of the unique and beautiful , are not bkescd
with exorbitantly long pocket books.
CIGARETTE HOLDERS.
The newest In cigarette holders are of
filagree silver. Strange as It may appear
to these women around whom st'll clings tlio
old-fashioned Idea that tobacco may only bo
used with propriety by the sterner > ex , these
tlatnttly designed and finished sllvnr aillclui
are Intended for women only. They beat *
slight resemblance to tbo old-fashioned sli
ver bouquet holders of two-scoro years ago.
They are of silver filagree so flue as to re-
Bcrnbto lace work , and of course each one
has an especial and a beautiful design. Throe
designs are all of them floral. II appears the
association of women and flowers still re
mained In the head of the designer , though
making a receptacle for the cultivation of
so mannish a habit.
THE LADIES' PIPE.
On the few pipes , which are also IntondeJ
for women , the' tracings of silver and gold
over the brlarwoo'd a d bowls arc not floral ,
but appear to fqllow itbe conventional Greek
and Roman designs. . The stems of those
dainty 'little ' pipes they arc aW small ar >
of'the clearest a'mtfer and soHb of 'them
quite long and curved. These "pipes for
ladles" are only to bo had In a few shops ,
and , strange to say , the merchants seem a
bit ashamed of keeping thorn. But there Is
no shame In the woman smoker who w'alks
up to the counter and calmly a ks to see
"ladles' pipes. "
OPERA GLASSES.
The very latest In opera glasses have

had In solid gold and silver In all the new
colors and finishes , and In aluminum. Thq
special point of recommendation for the last-
named metal Is lightness alone , for It Is not
nearly BO pretty or handsome as silver , ant )
more expensive. Opera glasses of mother of
pearl and fine gll.t , It appears , have had
their day , as the merchants seem anxious
to be rid of them , and are offering them
at unheard-of low prices. Those of ordinary
black leather being high-priced , some of the
dealers claim that' the really etyllsh glass
for the comlngJaeasoit will bo leather cov
ered , and perhaps Wjtho expensive Mexican
carved leather. ; *
COLORED TATIONERY. i
The newest things In stationery and for
the writing topjp rare all highly colored.
Hyacinth , blueCjistlfiflower and rosy cerise
are the fashlonible I > colors for a stylish
woman's paper' qVifclopea and correspond
ence cards. Though. fhcse colors are BO vivid
as to savor of vulgarity , tbo texture of the
paper Is so iierfwct "aliil the shades BO beau
tiful as to leave inly tbo Impression of
elegance. Of cnlp ( black Ink only Is to bo
used ; colored lfa ] 3 are decidedly bad form ,
and on all thcsflunew , papers , even bluet , It
ehows up as perfectly as on white. Tbp
effect on the i 'rlsd. which Is the loveliest
of the rosy Bli ca. .la as pleasing as It Is
unusual. A blue JqHer , a pink letter , a
green letter or a yellow letter are almost
as usual as av hltoIptter , but when tbo
postman leaves' one ' &t rosy cerise we feel
Indeed as though It werd our red-letter day.
VENTILATED SHOES.
The latest shoo designed for the comfort
of womankind Is tba'Ventilated sort , so venti
lated as to produce r-ourrerit of fresh air In
the ihoo with every step of tbo wearer. This
U accomplished by means of a tiny metal
tube in the back of the heel , which Is hol
low. The air passes through the tube Into a
well formed by the hollow In the heel , thence
out to the solo , which has a hollow space
between the outer and Inner leather. The
Inner sole being perforated the air passes
Into the shoo , These shoes do not differ In
appearance from any other well-nude article
of the name quality. And now that they are
being made by several factories It Is claimed
they will become universal- ! ) popular and
prove a boon to women with tender feet.
COMBINATION FE.VTIIERS ,
The latest for hat trimmings Is a combina
tion of ostrich plumes with fancy feathers.
These are seen In all shades , and will be
much used. An elegant brown ostrich plume
had springing from Its center , completely
covering the stem , a succession of soft brown
quill feathers , resembling more than any
thing else the slightly curled feathers at the
base of a duck's tall. The effect Is pleasing
as well as novel. Feathers , It appnirn , will
bo used more than ever. Whole hats are
made of them , and not smal bats cither , but
big , broad-brimmed bats , the brim under
neath often being of a contrasting shade from
the top and crown. Then , too , felt brimmed ,
tani o' shantcrs will have crowns of feathers
so arranged as to resemble the breast ol
birds. These feather hat crowns mny bo had
In several different colors , dyed nnd In nut
ural colors of various fowls. Another new
trimming for winter millinery Is a ruche of
older dowfi and ostrich feathers. These nro
In all colors and make A soft , pretty trim
ming.
Jet Is among the very latest trimmings
for silk and velvet gowns. The Jet Jacket of
last season has gone out , and Its place Is
filled by the Jet blouse , or low-necked Jut
waists. Skirts will be trimmed with Jet
panels on the sides of various widths , while
the whole front breadth of many elegant
gowns will bo covered with Jet. This , It
would seem , Is to be a Jet season , for every
conceivable trimming for an elegant gown
Is to bo had In jet.

The duchess' Marlborough has a now
ambition. She alms , not only at restoring i
Blenheim to Its pristine splendor , but also
at restoring to her husband and his heirs the
London home which was theirs for many
generations. In other words , she has con
ceived the daring project of winning back
'Marlborough house from royal control , and
placing if once moro In the hands of the
Spencer Churchlllo. The magnitude of the
task to which she has bet herself may be
estimated' When- ono recollects that .Marl-
borough house lias become the recognized
town residence of the prince of Wales , and
that the heir apparent and his family have
conceived for It a great and lasting affec
tion.
tion.But wealth , tact and social Influence can
accomplish wonders , and stranger things
have happened than the abandonment of his
town house by a prince of Wales In favor of
a subject with reasonable claims to Its
possession.
Marlborough house was built by Sarah ,
the first and greatest duchess of Marlbor
ough , on the gardens of the old Friary. A
stipulation In the original lease was to the
effect that the Friary gardens should not be
built over. For this reason the gardens ,
although in London's very heart remain to
this day spacious and productive. Sarah of
Marlborough had quarreled bitterly with her
architect when the mansion was about to
bo built , and It Is confidently asserted that
this singular woman completed the plans
herself , and personally directed tholr carryIng -
Ing out. At any rate , Marllioroiigh house Is
ono of the moat admirably constructed
houses In London.
The Marlboroughs dwelled In Marlborough
house from the days of the great duchess
down to the first decade of the present
century , when the successive heavy losses of
the then duke and of his sou , Lord Bland-
ford , oused the family to part with it. In
order that Blenheim might be saved.
Hoyalty at once leased the house for Prince
Leopold , husband of the lll-Mtcd helrcsi of
Oeorgo JV. In 1S31 the queen dowager ,
Adelaide , went to live there , nd In 1863 thp
present qiiren assigned It lo the newly
married prince and princess of Waku as
tholr popular town establlihtnent. The
structure was much enlarges ! and Improved
on this occasion , so that , uhould Duchess
Consuclo succeed In regaining this lost gem
of the Marlborough coronet she will find 11
far more suitable to modern requirements
than It w when fortune the fickle caused
It to pass away from the house of Spencer
Churchill.
The chief authority for the rumor of the
duchess of Marlborough's Intentions In re
gard to tlio house Is a well known London
lawyer , whose nntno has long been n house
hold word for Ills skill and Ingenuity In
managing the most delicate affairs. Tt
would certainly seem natural enough tint
the latest successor of Sarah the Great should
do-lro to see HIP duke of Marlborough once
more seated In Marlborough house.

FASHIONS FOR LITTLE MEN.
In clay of Mrs. Stowe. designed for the
Harriet Bcecher Stowo Memorial association
of Connecticut by W. Clark Noble , the New-
York sculptor , which Is decidedly Interesting.
The statue , Including the pedestal , Is twelve
feet high and represents Mrs. Stowe seated ,
an attitude with certain peculiarities well
worked out quite characteristic and familiar
to these 'Who knew her In lite. Her figure
la robed after the Grecian conception of on-
nobllng drapery , and the head Is slightly
bowed , as one In deep thought. The face
expresses thought and deep consideration.
Kneeling at the side of the column that
supports the chief figure Is a suppliant con
ception ol Uncle Tom , stretching upward a
pair of brawny arms , from which hang broken
shackles. This figure Is not meant to rep
resent Uncle Tom so much , but rather the en
tire negro race , whoso gratitude to the gifted
author Is typified by the thankful attitude.
Both figures are to bo cast In bronze and
arranged according to the model , upon a
base and pedestal of granite.
The Harriet needier Stowo Mcmoibl Asso
ciation of Connecticut was formed over eight
months ago , and Includes the leading women
of the state , some of whom are related to
Mrs , Stowe. The object was to establish n
fund for a suitable memorial to bo erected
at Hartford. At the time It was given
out that the family of Mis. Stowo objected
to any statue being erected , hut this objec
tion was overcome , and a number of photo
graphs and other likenesses of Mrs , Stowe
were placed In tlio hands of Mr. Noble , who
began the work of modeling the figure early
In January of the present year. Ho chose
the middle period of the noted author's life ,
depleting her as she was In 1S70. Since
the completion of the design there has been
some discussion as to the advisability of
repretentliiK her an Mr. Noble has In hid
exhibited design or as she was when her
story was first published. Although no
change In the design Is at present con
templated. Mr. Noble went about the work
of gathering all photographs and likenesses
of her as slio was early In life , and from
these proposes to model a head In order to
secure the benefit of contrast , in. convincing
the doubters. Meanwhile , the statue will
remain on exhibition , the plan being to cast
It In the spring of 1SOS , after a suitable siU
for It has been selected.
Mr. Noble la a young New York sculptor ,
who has attained to considerable note
through several excellent pieces of sculpture
executed by him the best being , perhaps , his
bust of Phillips Brooks , the famous Amer
ican divine. He Is a graduate of Harvard.
and. although he has never studied abroad ,
ho has had the advantages which the schools
of Boston and New York afford , and has
managed to place himself In a very respected
position among his fellow-craftsraen.
As yet , no severe art criticism has been
applied to his latest work.
