IT. rut, t4JL but tiiey make up In beauty of material ' und In color for the scarcity of trimming, and the prices asked for the bent of the little model are by no meani low: In thl i dy of beautiful hroadclotha. however, It should he an easy matter for a mother of cood tavte. to have an attractive coat ir.adw. for her little daug-hter at compara tively little expense. Sturdy everyday coats of dark or medium color may be bought ready made for prices so reasonable and modela so pretty it hardly pays to have such garments made, but when one cornea to the light colored coats of fine cloth the prices soar suddenly and distressingly, and though there may be more of a modish air to the ready made roat than to the on made at home, the latter will certainly cost less and a clover seamstress can turn It out In very satis factory form. Setting; aside the all whit coat, always In demand for little folk, the soft rose tones and pas'. i-l blues are the tints best HkiU for child coats, with vivid red always popu lar and certain soft biscuit and mode colors of the ohuracter once known as champagne perennially bloon.injf. The rose fciudf in all materials are peculiarly lovuly this season and the de signers of children's coats have evidently appreciated that fact, for they hava turned out llltlr nmdols In' all the dcllcste soft pinks from the creamiest, lightest rose petal to a soft French rose with the silvery bloom which appears In so ninny of the roae tints. One sees, too, coats of the fralse and other berry pinks or rods, hut there is an unwritten law of good taste which has generally prevailed In connection with lit tle children's clothes and which decrees that the odd and unusual tones those colors generally grouped as degrade are stilted to sophisticated wearers rather than to children, and to the latter are glvah the franker, purer colorings, though thege may bw softened to pastel demure ners. Borne of the very prettiest among the liew and tiny coat models are made of the fTirt brondcloth tn soft rosa hue and are piuW. up quite severely, with only a Utile self-strapping for trimming and a small turndown collar of beaver, chinchilla or with ermine as the only relieving not Tbes4 same models are offered, too. In the piiHtel blues and the prices range from r5 fo ). In other models of cut and finish simi lar to those Just described dark velvet coUarVa,re substituted for the fur collnrs, but the latter have more cachet, and a beaver collar with a creamy pink cloth or a pastel blue with chinchilla Is altogether charming. (Jay little couts of bright red cloth with collars of lustrous black caracul are ptactical and pretty for serviceable wear.'f t '. ' Braid trims many of the light colored coat tut the braid is of color matching the material and mi st not be too lavishly applied.: Little bands of the cloth very finely soutached In self color trim aume prUy models, and the method In which these bands are used gives originality to the one tone coat. Our artist has sketched a model of this class in all white which was extremely successful, and examples as good may be found in all tha popular coat colorings. ' -'-"Wat-' braids of varying width trim many of the light tan and biscuit shade, the braid of course matching the cloth, and black braid is often used upon the dark shades of blue and red. Buttons covered with the coat material are considerably used for trimming, and in the realm of the wee tots, us In that of the grown-ups, lines of buttons fre quently ornament the outHide sleeve seam throughout Its entire length. One of the coats pictured here Jias an effective treat ment of scallops and buttons down the front and on the aleevea and ia a particu larly smart little model both in paste pink and paatel blue. The heavy corded silks of the Ottoman and Bengaline classes are popular with the designers of children's coats, and some very charming, dressy -coats are made up in these materials. The model with tur collar already described In connection with the broadcloth coat ia produced with varia tions in the heavy corded ailk, and less Be. vere corded ailk models, have broad open work stitchery inaide all the hems and a quaint silk fringe finish around tha col lar. A childish model evolved both in broad cloth and corded silk has. a wide collar crossing low in front and buttonholed and embroidered in self-color silk all along its outside edge. The turnover cuffs are alm ilurly embroidered and two big penrl but tons fasten the front. The same model Is familiar in pique and linen. . The tiny bonnets of felt, velvet and silk Grover Cleveland and Dr. George L. Miller When Grover Cleveland announced his first cabinet In lsiti a great many people were surprised that the nume of Dr. (.corse I j. Mltler did not appear In the list of the president's official family. It had been accepted as a fact all but accom plished that Dr. Miller would be the post muster general In that cabinet. His ser vices to the party, his close relations with the president, and his eminent fitness and high standing seemed to make him a most desirable man for a portfolio at th hands of the first democratic president to be seated since the war, but his name was not on tho list. For a time speculation was rife and much gossip was heard concerning the mutter. Finally talk died out, and only Dr. Miller's Intimate friend remember tliat such gossip was ever so freely in dulged In. Not even to these has the doctor ever talked of the matter, but now n writer gives in the I'tlca, N. Y.. Observer, the trui reasons for the sudden change of njlnd experienced by Mr. Cleveland, which lesulted in "William F. Vilas of Wisconsin bfins chosen for the place to which Dr. Miller of Omnha seemed defined. It Is an Interesting bit of hitherto unwritten his tory, and for that reason Is here repro duced in Its entirety. It Is published In the I'lka Observer of September 13: In a letter which cam" from the hand of Grover Cleveland a short time before he died. pro. .ibly one of the very last that he wrote, he remarked upon the death roll which has so thinned the ranks of thoe who stood with him, "prominent as leaders in dnys past In winning democratic victories." He had closely In mind, of course, Flayard, Whitney, Lamont. Manning and others who were with him In adminis tration. Since that letter was written Mr. Cleveland lias himself passed away, fol lowed by his first Posm;s'.er General and Secretary of the Interior. Colonel William F Vilas of Wisconsin, afterwards sena'or from that state. This leave us at liberty Justlfubljr to tell a story never, yet made public the story of how Colonel Vilas came unex pectedly to be selected as r"tmaster gen eral. Instead of the eminent democrat whom Mr. Cleveland has Irt-nd"d to n )ilnt and af'erwards regretted that be had not arplnted. That demoerst was our old friend. Dr. George I, Miller, native of Oneida countv. known then as tho foremost democrat In the norihwesr. who came many times to successive national conventions at the head of the Nebraska delegation, and was politically closer to Samuel J. Tllden and Horatio Seymour thun any other cltlien of the west. As the editor of the Omaha Daily Herald, which he early, founded as a patriotic duty, he had been the special Interpreter and advocate of the principles and policies of Tllden and Seymour to the democrats of the northwestern slates, for it was known to the whole editorial fra ternity of that wide region that hi utter ances were not alone ,ils own candid re flectluna, but the wise thought of these statesmen. The effect upon the party was long beneficent. He was also known, as he Is today, as the "Father of Omaha." For a generation or more he fqught Omaha battles. And they were great battles! It wa, for one thing, vital to Omaha that the great trans continental railroad should cross the Missouri river at that point. If we re member aright. Atchison. Kansas, down the Missorl. was Its chief competitor. The sue-, cess of one was fatal to the other. It lay with the great railroad men of the time to decide. Of course they were sought sought with arguments and pleadings; and there was no cessation until one side won That side was Omaha which has now a stcudly growng population many time that of Atchison, and has over fifteen lines of tallroad running out from its borders. Omaha is today one of our Important cities. The little town of those days had nothing to offer hi t Its advantage and the skill of their 'presentation. In this contest, as an editor and possessor of a high quality of leadership, Dr. Miller was foremost. Jour nej inge lie made, snd no chance v.us lost to reach the ears of the great men cn whose decision so much depended. Chief of these, it may be supposed, wss Jay Gould. But what befell years later say near the first of March, is- -that brings the rail road question und Jay Gould Into relation with the postmaster getiei glshlp? This. President Cleveland's cabinet was made up. Inuuguratl n was near at hand. Dr. Miller was down for the cabinet pcsitlon of postmaster general. He had the warm endorsement of the leading demo crats of the big states, for they knew him personally Seymour and Tllden and Ker na.i of New Yoik; Lyma'i Trumbull of Illinois; Gov. George tloadley of Ohlj; former National Chairman flarnum of Connecticut;' Famuel J. Randall of Penn sylvanianeed others be mentioned? Mr. Cleveland had tome to the presidency- with none of the acquaintance over the I'nlied States which these statesmen possessed. At this very moment the tongue of envy whispered an Insidious suggestion In the new president' ear. Dr. Miller. Mr. Cleve land was told, I a friend of Jay Gould! They were intimate! Could Mr. Cleveland, he asked, tolerate such an Influence in his cabinet and have the public know it at the very start, as It surely would? Jay Gould was at that time at the height or the depth of his unpopularity with the American people. Hs name was one to conjure with. Mr. Cleveland was sensitive a to the Im pression his cabinet would make. The hour waa late. The story, false in essence, probably withheld until the last moment, there was no time to disapprove. Dr. Miller bad not been notified of hi selection and there was nothing to withdraw. Supposed to be desirous of a cabinet seat or expect ing some other recognition, was Colonel Vilas, with whom Mr. Cleveland was much Impressed, for he had presided over the national convention and notified Mr.' Cleve land of his nomination with an eloquence which had previously won fame. Colonel Vilas was a lawyer; had never been a busi ness man; but he was In thorough sympa thy with Mr. Cleveland's civil service kleas. He waa appointed instead of Dr. Miller. Cciunel Vilas was a brilliant man and a charming orator. He put civil service re forms into . better practice in Ilia depart ment, as The Observer recently showed; but sortie other cabinet place would have better matched hi qualities. Before the term of the administration expired the presdent found opportunity to make him secretary of the Interior. In later years President Cleveland came to know Dr. Miller well and to give him a full measure of appreciation. Even before that he had been known to expresa his re gret that lie had not made the doctor his postmaster general, and we have reason to believe that in this he was most sincere, 'in the letter from Mr. Cleveland which Is referred to In the beginning of this article we find thl paragraph appropriate here: "I, too." Mr. Cleveland wrote, "very re cently had a letter from our old friend Dr. Miller of Omaha. Tt I an aitonlshng thing that at hla age hi vigor Is so unimpaired, bis mind so clear, and his readiness to do political battle so keen." You see in this not only the ex-presldent's admiration hut the note of a fixed personal regard. A for Dr. Miller' age, he is still comfortably this side of the eighties; but he will reach them fill blooded, gayly, be loved by Omaha's young and old! mado to accompany these little coat are altogether delectable, but they baffle de scription, for much depends upon the ex quisite coloring and materials. The group of French models sketched here will give some Idea of the general character of the most fashionable little bonnets, but scores of others are pretty courted sketching, and a choice waa difficult. One admirable thing about the whole collection was the bullishness of all the models. The huge creations trimmed In nodding plumes which disfigured tha ba bies of a few seasons ago are lacking, and though some of these new model are curiously draped and shaped, a large ma jority of them are really childish. The little bowl of mushroom shape of the summer, with Its round low crown and nar row drooping brim, 1 here agaiii and Is rather more attractive in fine soft felt than It was in straw. A simpler and more babyish hat it would be hard to Imagine, and yet It has that Indescribable quality which for want of a bellur word wo call style. Borne variety is given to thoss models by slight differences of 'rimming and of course by the coloring, though the shape Is seen more often in white than In any other color. ,8ome of these models In fine white felt have ajie drooping brim in wide white braid and a soft white liberty carf with fringed ends knotted round tho crown and falling in two short ends at the back. Others have a chou and end for finish, and occasionally a rucho or puffing of silk ia substituted for the scarf, or a frill of chiffon or net or lace over th brim from under tho encircling ribbon. One very flat white felt of this same general shape has quilled white velvet ribbon wandering In a callop design over tha very low crown and the brim, and a cluster of small velvet dahlias, one white, one pale pink and one palest blue, set at one side on the brim. ' An unusual number of brown bonnets la noticeable among the models for very small folk the soft woven light brown trimmed in darker shades of the same color, or per haps a bonnet of creamy white felt trim med in one of these browns, snd there are many little brown coats with which the brown baby bonnet will harmonise.
