Modern MHIr lrl Dletnlra tlic Style of Her Wnnlrolic. NEW YORK, Juno 14. The little Amorl enn girl early learns the price and penalty she pays for being tho best dressed little human of her sex and ngo In this wholo, round world. On Saturdays and on after noons the children's furnishing shops aro crowded with young folks and their mammas, trying to purchase tho vacation trousseaux before the summer exodus be gins. Some of the little girls slip right Into the situation and at the mature ages of 8, 10 and 12 years have made up their minds exactly what they please to wear, and maternal dissuasions and commands never for ono moment nltor their opinions or selections. However, whether tho child or tho mother chooses, and It Is tho rulo for tho mother to meekly give way before her daughter's likes and dislikes, tho result Is refreshingly and charmingly effective. A turn through 'some of the children's departments of tho big shops Is almost suro to leave the pleasant Impression that so ugly Juvenllo garments aro mado up. Allied to tho extreme prcttlness of the llltlo one's clothes thcro Is displayed the most amazing varloty in the cut, color and decoration of tho garments. Fine bright checks, In tho light silk and tho gingham 'suits, have assumed a strong position In tho wardrobo of every little miss and thcro nro veilings and popllnettcs and mohair gowns mado up In every color that the elders admlro and patronize. Ono com mendable phaso of tho children's clothes this season Is the absence of any llttlo modes adopted from the grown-up's eodo of smart costuming. With tho exception of tho underslcovo the children" have borrowed nothing this year, nnd, happily, small girls of 10 or thereabouts will wear fewer shirt waists nnd odd skirts than formerly. A complelo gown of cotton, linen or wool Is tho proper thing for wear, cither to church or on tho playground, and as little laco as possible Is used on the frock of tho very fashionable llttlo woman. Embroldory Is the most approved trim ming for every day and very best frocks, and, when It Is tho case of n tea party eult, tho needlework Is of tho most ex qulslto quality, often dono by hand, as well as tho tucking of the One lawn yoko collar and slcovcs. Lovely llttlo dresses for Juvenllo occnslons are mado of the most glittering silk warp poplin, with ulceves, yoko and frill of white or tea-colored em broidered SwIbs, and tho sash Is tho Bort of thing a little girl may be Justly vain about. HllilHin Snnuilfi mill Jowi-leil Coinlm. Panno t-atln, Liberty satin nnd Loulslno silk sashes, plain with double hemstitched ends or elaboratoly figured with field flow ers and deeply fringed on tho ends, are the two most approved types of girdlo for the ample and Ill-defined waist lino of an S or 10-ycar-old belle, and n Bnood of ribbon of tho samo typo as the sash should adorn tho flowing coiffure of tho fair llttlo merry maker. A ribbon on wnich la strung a crystal heart or a gilt acoru Is the ono neck ornament a child should wear, and, no matter how fancifully the waist of tho gown Is mado, It properly buttons In tho back. In tho matter of children's shoes a chango has come about and this spring little girls aro seen wearing tics that laco and havo a llttlo moro heel than- tho mere spring usually, allowed. Somo of tho Oxford ties aro made In soft vlci kid, with ornamenta of patent leather, but on the wholo this change Is to bo deplored, and tho best foot, covering Is now and always will bo a high buttoned shoe with a flat solo; at least for children whose ankles need support and whofce shoo laces aro rarely In order. pretty old-fashioned strap slipper has been reintroduced this spring for dancing and lull dress occasions. Lastly, among tho small novelties for girls, tho decorated combs must be men tioned. Band combs as a rulo aro not ornamental and aro always uncomfortable, but Just now they nro turning out short toothed round combs that hold a child's hair In a pretty, low pompadour about her faco and lend as effcctlvo a touch of color to her dark or blondo locks as would the gayest hair ribbon. This Is because tho rldgo of tho comb Is set with bright rod coral, turnuolso or, cut ambor beads. Some llttlo girls, It Is true, elect to woar combs with filagree gold or silver bands, In which pearls andrhlnestones aro set, but these llttlo ones havo yet to live nnd learn great deal concerning taste. Flower lluta for the Cilrls. Tbe prettiest Idea ever carried out In children's millinery Is that of making hats distinctively devoted to a slnglo flowor In ono or varlogatcd colors. Just now a llttlo girl wenrs n daisy hat, a poppy hat, Iliac, primrose or wild roso hat. A daisy hat will bo of puro white lawn' shirred on a wlro frame or of delicate white chip, and Its Qecorntlon, Insldo and out, will' consist of ono or throo kinds of daisies, Tho brown nnd yellow-hearted blossoms, with tho daisies having plnk-ttppod petals, form a thick wreath' about tho crown, nnd Inside' tho brim a handful of tho flowors h ar ranged to He ngalnst the wearer's hair, No other flowor Is UBcd, nor Is any ribbon employed; nevertheless tho result Is artls tlcally most satisfactory.

Tho American small boy Is his mother's pet, 'not alone because he la a handsome creature that shows oft line raiment to the greatest ndvantago, but also becauso ho is eagerly willing to let his ndorlng mamma select his wardrobe for him. Ills only oh jection to new clothes seems to be that they necessitate a trying on. Bo rloverly, however, Is much of tho boy's tailoring now dono that only a measurement secures an excellent fit nnd tho maternal Judg ment does tho rest. In this respect tho American mother's tasto Is usually ex ceptlonally good, though a trlllo Inclined toward too close Imitation of tho fashions followed by mon. Llttlo boys that aro well equipped for tho country will wear pink golllng coats and flat "automobllo caps that are miniature reproductions, of thoie made ur bir uniiucrB, uoo-taiiea evening coats, with flat leathor tra.vollng cases to carry them In re counted among the belongings of every well equipped youngster over 10. As a mat er of fact, modern llttlo boys are men In all but size nowadays after they have got nto their teens and only the clothes of the llttlo fellow who writes his ago in one figure are any longer quaint and child like. Checked linens aro made In pretty suits for tho small fry and the wide white collar that turns back over tho shoulders Is tastefully decorated with rows of small, round pearl buttons, Elouno waists with full trousers have passed a llttlo out of oguc, apparently, for playday suits, slnco most of tho now ones noted have tho upper garment shaped like a Jerkin and belted In easily at the waist line or a llttlo below this point.

The automobile hlrtwalst Is the latest thing In fashlondom and though the garment may on occasions run to all sorts, of glorification In tho way of laco yokes, diaphanous textiles and rib bon accessories It Is In the main an aston ishingly simple Creation. 1 It Is said that in gay Parts, where tho nutomobllo received Its baptism, so to speak, and the dressy Bhlrtwalst first bios-. somcd Into being, the fair ones are turn ing with delightful zeal to the English se- crltlcs they at first despised. Certain heavy linens, In coarse, Irregular weaves, tho very same, Indeed, that supply tho butchers' aprons and French porters' mocks, are cut In severe shirtwaist models. A stock nnd belt of whlto plquo supply the only ornamentation for a blue, red or brown linen shirt. Tho narrow, folded or crushed bias tlo Is made of the colored linen, and sometimes a dashing effect Is created through the addition of a scarf bias of tho shirtwaist Jcxturo to the trim sailor hat. Iu this ciiso tho coarse stuff Is made to fold flatly and trimly about tho crown nnd brim, but It tho waist Is fashioned of some airy textile, Swiss, mull or French muslin, the hat scarf may tlo vellwlso over the brim and float Its ends merrily In the breeze. Nnrrnrr licit for Little WiilM. Two nutomoblle shirtwaists Tiero shown nro respectively of scarlet dotted Swiss and bluo nnd whlto striped porcale. A pleasing yoko variation Is shown in tho Swiss gar ment, whero the plain whlto yoko of fine tucks -is stitched heavily with red thread. Tho most popular shirtwaist sleeve of the season Is pictured with both, as woll as the very narrow leather belts, which, coming in colors to match tho new textures, are now w'orn with all filmplo "cotton shirtwaists. With a black patent leather belt the metal work will present a stylishly black surface, but some of soft dressed nnd others of undressed kid, In dcllcato colors, be dazzlo you with silver and gold slides and buckles, the belt itself narrowing from back to front till the buckle tongue seems a mero nothing.

Florists tell one that plants should never bo potted In glazed pots. But the conditions under which tho florist works are very different from thoso which tho amateur has to contend with, where rooms aro hot and dry and the soli in tho pots docs not keep moist as It. does In a green house.

Ot course tho skirt band with this sort Is a serious problem, for If it Is a breath too wide It will bo forever showing above, nnd nothing can prevent a melan choly sagging below the girdle, but by her belts Is tho girl of the season known. For boating nnd mountain use for "damn service." as tho furnlshors put It, the shops are showing shirtwaist materials Jn soft wools, among the nun s veilings nnd figured and striped challles, some plain nnd checked summer flnnnols stand ing out with particular seductiveness. They nro flannel In name only, being of a silkllko fineness, In truth, It Is sail that .theso dcllcato wools nro ccoler than many of the cotton textures. In 'the looser weaves a comfortable ventilation Is sup plied and the addition of a wash front or "dtckcy" and cuff bands to be buttoned on will glvo the newly scmhbsd freshness so dear to tho trim girl's heart. A boating shirt of this soft,- summer flan nel In large checks of red and bluo shows a tucked and pleated "dickey" of white porter's linen, stiffened like a masculine shirt bosom, nnd worn en plastron, which Is to say on the outside of tho garment. , A pretty ono that, weather permitting, Bcems gay enough .for any morning occasion Is of whlto bunting, the course flag sort, with round red braid outlining yoko and collar. This fastens nt the back, a bocom ing artuico tor youtntui figures and one Just now much In cvidenco. But let the large woman eschew the back fastenings unless Bho wishes to omphaslze her avoirdu pois, 'fori these back arrangements, whloh permit an unbroken expanse at the front, havo a way of making such a one look hopolessly fat. l'ure White Wnlata Lend. Stitched bunds of plain- challle some times comblno effectively with the figured material, as Is hero .shown In the second group picture. So rampant Is the appetite for novelty that n, white lawn waist jnay own a front pleat,, tie,, cuffs and belt ot color. Ono exquisite little French shirt waist ot applo-blossorn pink mull had these details, In sky-bluo, some rarel,y, beautiful nemstitcning auaing iurtner Eiory in out lining hems. The favorlto shirtwaist, however, Is pure white nnd the lawns and Swisses that flood tho market all run to lace and needlework treatments, enchanting to behold. The prices charged nre not such ns to bring happiness to tbe heart of woman, but any girl who has been brought up properly can cnslly imitate tho expensive luxury at homo. The newest shirtwaists seem to be made moro skimpily than ever and most of them run to yokeless backs and a slight very slight pouching of the front.

Insect pests nre nlmost too small to be seen by tho naked eye. When the leaves turn yellow or look unhealthy, tako a magnifying glass and cxnmlno tho under sides of tho leaves for red spiders. The preventive and remedy for the red spiders moisture. This can bo attained by spraying. Be sure to wet tho under sldo ot the leaves, as that is thtlr chief haunt. When peoplo go out of their wnrm houses Into tho open air thoy put on wraps, If It s at nil chilly, but they do not reflect that tholr plants are Just as sensitive. Apd they havo tholr unfortunate palms nnr India rubber trees set out to decorate their front stops, when It makes a plant lover shiver to see tho poor things. Their only way of protesting against such treatment Is to turn brown nnd drop tholr leaves and then their owners wonder why! Nothing is better for plants than to be set out In a gentle, warm rain but avoid wind and cold rains, and never set a blooming plant out in tho rain, If you want the blossoms to last. When peoplo buy hyacinth and tulip bulbs In bloom they take great care of them until they fado, then they either neglect or throw them away. This Is a mistake. Keep on watering 'them, even if you have to set them in some out of the wny corner, but keep them In a light place, and then, w'hen tho weather is mild enough, usually by the end of March, set them out Into the ground In the garden or bock" yard, at tho edge of the gtass near the fence, or in any odd cornor, and by spring you will be re warded by blossoms, not large, but very pretty. Use the common garden asparagus as a green for bouquets of sweet peas. They aro both so light and airy as to make a most lovely combination. For palms and other large-leaved foliage plants In the house there Is nothing moro Important than cleanliness, frequent spong ing of their leaves. Do not give them drib lets of wator give them a thorough soak ing In a pall of warm water from a water ing pot whonover the surface of the soil looks dry at other times. This Insures tho whole ball of earth being kept moist. Roraembtr that heliotropes require rich earth and plenty of wator. They aro gross feeders and always thirsty and llko to bo sprayed. If this is borne 'in mind you will have abundance of bloom, especially If you give them an occasional dose ot liquid manure. Last summer my roses became infested with tho nphis or "green fly." I mado nauseous decoctions of tobacco tea nnd sprayed them, which settled them for a time, but they returned moro voracious than ever. Then I soused them, and mysolf Incidentally, with vllo-smclling whalo oil soap, the effect of which was prompt but not lasting. Then a friend said, "Why don't you Just use Insect powder?" This I did and found it best of all becauso it was clean easy to apply and I could easily keep doing It at short Intervals, thus kill ing tho infant progeny as they arrived. Save all your wood ashes for your sweet pea trenches. Thero Is nothing you can use as a fertilizer that Is so good and It Is also a proventlvo of Insect pests. Remember that sweet peas Ukn lenf mould. Hcllo- tropo and mlgnonetto togother give the odor or wan iiowcrs. Plant sprayers aro expensive but a whisk broom Is In every houso and docs Just as good work as a sprayer bo suro to tip the plnnts ovor and wet the under sides of tho loaves. . If you havo a pot of flowers In bud give them all the sunshine you can but when the buds have opened keep them in tbe shade nnd they will last longer. Give liquid manuro weak and ofton, rather than strong doses. Many people fall to grow mignonette well. in this borough by reason of her promi nence In the performances of somo of tho leading nmateur dramatic organizations. Miss Parkhurst's mother was formerly an amateur actress of some note and the pro- motor of this new venturo Is a nleco of J. Slont Fassctt, although she makes no effort to havo tho fact known, as she prefers to dopend entirely en her own efforts for the success which already promises to reward her departuro from tho benten track. Miss Pnrkhurst is known among her friends In this borough ns of a decidedly self-assertive character. She says she thought out tho Idea of opening a shoe polishing establishment for women while commenting on tho troublo nnd embarrass ment of having her shoes cleaned, as she wished them, on tho, public street, or under tho observation ot men, Doing a woman ot quick action the though was soon fol lowed by the deed, and she was tho first In tho Hold In cither borough and is reaping the benefit. Tho shoc-shlning parlors which she opened nt 42 W'ost Twenty-second street aro furnished' daintily and appropriately, Just as a woman would desire. Thero aro laco draperies at the windows, with carpet on the floor, a writing' desk and materials for thoso who wish Jlo use them and a long distance telephone!' 'At one end ot the room, Shut offby screcns,'ls a pIatformnof Italian marble, on which there stands s"lx chairs. Hero threo email boys polish tho shoes of the patrons, free from public gaze. A manicure establishment la also maintained in conjunction, with tho shoe-pollshlng force. Miss Parkhurst' established, 'tho place about six weeks ago, Investing considerable money in tho enterprise. Bho has had, no previous experience In managlnga business, but has acquired a general knowledge, which Is serving her in good stead. To an Eaglo reporter she said: "I have no 'desire for notoriety in this matter, as I am in it for; tho -purpose of legitimate money-making and not to exploit myself ,pr advertise my relationships. I hopo to tako caro of myself and am suc ceeding' better than I hoped. Women pa tronlzo freely and I have frequent requests over tho tolephono for tho services of my boys. I would like to employ girls as boot blacks, but do not seem able to got any, as those who would bo neat in appearance do not llko this sort ot work. They may be willing, however, to benefit themselves in tho future. My personal belief is that a woman Is ordinarily as competent to carry on business as a man. I am certainly will Ing to try." WHEN A'OU fit) TO BUFFALO. Ilovr n Woninn Should Kriiilp Herself for the KxponUlon. Everybody is thinking these days about paying a visit to tho Pan-American exposl tlon nt Buffalo. As a rule men going to such a place incumbor themselves with as llttlo personal baggngo as posslblo, but women ore apt to think they will bo on .dress parado there and ns a consequence, much of their enjoyment will be spoiled. A very' senslhlo member of tho sex has given a few words of counsel to her sisters In this regnrd. "No woman can do sight seeing with any ploasuro or effect," she says, "when she Is attending all tho tlmo to her clothes. She don't want to be hold ing her dress nor to bo hunting for places to walk lest she spoil her dainty shoes. "I nm advising all tho women I meet to dress for tho occasion. Tho Ideal dress for a woman or a girl who Is to do the Pan-American is A short skirt and a shirt waist, a pair of strong shoes with strong soles, a hat with a broad brim and a sun umbrella. It Would also be well to place a pair of bluo glasses In her handbag, as tho grounds to tho other, thus spending your tlmo In long walks In the sun." Fur nnil Aliout Women.
