FASHIONS-FOR CHILDREN.
Ho End of Pretty Designs and Materials
for Mothers to Choose From. ’
Published by special arrangement with the
New York Sun.
New and original ideas in children’s
clothes are not a marked feature of the
fashions this season, but there are no
end of pretty designs and materials
from which to choose, and mothers
have only to glance at their own youth-
ful photographs to be assured of the
great improvement which Dame Fash-
ion has made in children’s dress during
the last twenty- five years.
A child’s figure is considered in these
days, and, whether she is angular or
over stout, her gown is made to dis-
guise rather than accentuate her de-
‘fects. Skirts are out either in circular
form, fitting closely around the hips
.with some fullness at the back, or made
inZstraight breadths shirred in at the
waist and widely hemmed at the bot‘
tom. The circular skirt requires a. lin-
ing, but, like the full one, it is devoid
of trimming. Full baby waists gath-
ered“ into a belt, .with short puffed
sleeves and frills of embroidery on the
shoulders. are the usual style for guimpe
dresses of lawn, dimity, and gingham.
Blouse waists are as popular as ever,
and then there are all sorts of little
coats with wide collars. These are
more especially for wool and pique
dresses.
Sailor dresses for small girls are very
popular, and they are made of serge,
linen and pique, in all the pretty light
colors, either striped or plain. White
pique with a pale blue stripe is very
pretty, with the wide collar of plain
blue linen. Linen and ecru grass lawn
are both very much used for children’s
wear, and all sorts of accessories, such
as vests, collars, revers and frills, are
made of the lawn, either embroidered,
plainly tucked, or lace trimmed, for use
on wool gowns. ' '
Batistes with colored and lace stipes,
flowered and plain, are made up into
guimpe dresses for little girls, and for
older girls with blouse waists and wide
lace-trimmed collars. Bright flowered
or plaid ribbons and small white pearl
buttons are the usual accompaniment
for trimming. The challies were never
so pretty for children’s wear as they are
this season, with their dainty Dresden
flowers, and dressy gowns are very
satisfactory made of this material,
with a little lace and a ribbon for- a fin-
ish, and it answers the purpose of {silk
very nicely. Crepe de chine, crepon
and fancy silks are also used for the
little gowns. but with dimity lawn.
white muslin, challie, pique. and wool
materials a child can have a very pretty
summer outfit without any of the more
expensive dresses. White muslin made
over a silk underdress and trimmed
with insertions of embroidery forms a
charming little dress.
Checked wool materials are extremely”
popular this season, and plain blue and
brown serge is as much used as ever.
Vests of ecru batiste, with 'narrow in-
sertions of embroidery set in crosswise
or up and down, and wide collars of
the linen edged with batiste embroidery
sewn on flat, makea stylish finish for
either blue or brown dresses, and bright
plaid ribbon for bretelles and collar
band give them the needed touch of
color. ‘
The sleeves are, like those on the
grown-up gowns, gradually losing their
fullness.

BRYANT’S OLD HOME.
CEDAR MERE STILL KEPT ’As THE
' POET LOVED IT. '
It Still Stands on the Roslyn Hillside.
Here the Poet Wrote a Great Many of
His Poems, and ,it Was Here He Pas’sed
Away. ‘
Just as it was when the poet knew.
it, the home of William Cullen Bryant
still stands on the Roslyn hillside in
Long Island. It was here that the in-
spiration for many of his sweetest
poems was derived, and where the poet
himself passed the latter days of his
life. The spot and surroundings well
exemplify Bryant’s love of nature,
for:
Here is continual worship: nature here,
In the tranquility that thou dost love.
Enjoys thy presence.
Here, too, amid all the beauties that
he loved and admired so much, the poet
died.
Cedar Mere is the pretty name that
Bryant bestowed upon his Roslyn home.
The large two-story mansion, with its
broad piazzas, looks down upon the
waters of the Sound. It is built of
heavy oak to withstand the severe
winds that in winter beat upon the
headlands along the Sound shore.
The timbers are as stanch and perfect
as they were fifty years ago, and give
every evidence of enduring for a can
tury longer.
’The house was designed in the old
Colonial style. A wide hallway ex-
tends its entire length. The interior
style is also Colonial. There are old»
fashioned open grates, huge chimneys
and carved balustrades. In the hall,
library and drawing room there are
many valuable paintings, photographs
of poets and authors, and many fine
steel engravings, representing a portion
' of the poet’s collection.
Bryant first came to Roslyn in 1844.
He was always more than a summer
visitor to the village, for in its affairs
he took a decided and manifest interest.
Its poor he helped, and ,when other
troubles beset the community he fre-
quently came to the rescue with money
or advice.
The Bryant Hall and Library bears
testimony to his munificence. This he
built, with the sole stipulation that the
village should always keep it in good
repair. In 1890 the village put over
the entrance to the hall a tablet hear-
ing this inscription:
“In honor of William Cullen Bryant,
who founded this library A. D. 1878,
this tabletpis erected by his grateful
fellow-townsmen, A. D. 1890.”
A Pink Marble Bridge.
A new bridge to be erected over the
Tennessee River at Knoxville, while
not to be of unusual size, will be, the
engineer in charge says, a wonder in
the engineering and architectural
world.
It is to be built entirely of pink mar:
ble, quarried in Knox County and
within a few miles of the site. It will
be 1,600 feet long from “out to out” of
abutments, and will be 240 feet long in
the main spans of arch, which, it is
. claimed, is 20 feet longer than the
longest arch in the world. It will rise
at the crown of the channel spans
105 feet above the water, making it a
decidedly imposing structure. It is to
be a solid marble bridge from side to
side, with a fifty-foot roadway over
100 feet above water, with the four
largest spans in the world. The im-
mense arches will be eight feet deep at
the keystone, fifteen feet at the skew-
bac-ks, or spring lines, and will spring
from piers thirty feet high and forty
feet wide. The piers go to solid rock,
the substructure limestone, twelve feet
below the water surface at the bridge
site.
The arches and spandrel filling will
be constructed of concrete. The para-
pet walls will be constructed of sawed
marble slabs, with (heavy blocks on
pilasters every fifteen feet, projecting
above the wall proper and giving What
might be called a semi-castellated
effect.
With the Minority.
There are no compensations in life
more delightful and soul satisfying than
those that come from service and sacri-
fice for the welfare of our fellow-men.
It has never troubled me to be
in the minority. If you want genuine
pleasure in a battle go in with a minor-
ity on some great principles affecting
the welfare of society. You feel the
bracing of muscle and nerve, the rising
of the will power, the determination
not to go down. It is glorious—Chas.

KARMA, MAHATMAS, THEOSOPHY.‘
Devotees of the Occult Have an Election
and a Big Time.
Themeeting of the Theosophists in
New York to elect a successor to the
late William Q. Judge, Was a. large oc-
casion for the disciples of occultism. In
describing one of the meetings, follow-
ing the election. the New York Sun
has this breezy description: .
At the afternoon session the mystery
breathe, even in the hallway outside
the meeting room. Within were only
those who had penetrated to the depth
of esoteric lore, such as Claude Falls
Wright, Dr. Buch, Mr. Page, Mr. Ner-
esheimer, and such. They entered rev-
erently and a deep silence reigned. Out-
side in the hallway were collected about
100 of the less advanced. Quite late the
newly elected President, Earnest T.
Hnrgrove made his appearance in the
hallway. ~
“Make way!
whisper along the crowd, which divided
to let the young man through. He pass-
ed with bowed head and his hat in his
hand. Then began a low buzz of re-
strained conversation. It continued un-
til Claude Falls Wright appeared at the
doorway and in tones speciailly resur—
rected for the occasion from the depths
of his diaphragm murmured:
“Silence! Silence! There must be
less noise. .It interrupts the train of
thought; the mighty forces that
are at work within; the .essence that is
working toward a mighty end for the
benefit of the race must not be dis-
turbed.”
Then he disappeared. Dead silence re-
sumed its reign, but there was a goodly
proportion of women present and it was
good betting that the reign would short-
ly be terminated. It was. Soon the
buzz broke out again, very gently, but
still with force enough to encourage the
Sun reporter to ask a. question from the
man next to him. '
“What are they doing inside?”
. “Sh!” he said, with so profane an ac-
cent that the reporter dropped him and
tackled a moon faced youth with stringy
hair which interfered with the set of
. his collar. ,
i “Can you tell me what is going on in-
lsi’de?” the reporter asked.
I The youth almost had apoplexy. His
I face turned purple, and his eyes turned
up until the pupils disappeared. With
a low, gurgling moan he ejaculated;
‘ “Sh-h-h-h-h.”
I Any one might have supposed it was
la countersigu. The reporter on this ba-
sis, approached a nice old lady in cork-
screw curls who was communing with
herself in one of the corners, and ejacu-
lated:
6 tSh 1!)
“Sb!” responded the old lady, with
great promptitude. ‘
Much encouraged, the reporter tried
the question on her.
“Can you tell me what the, proceed-
ings behind those doors are?"
.“Sh-h-h-h-h!” broke out the old lady,
prolonging the word to the forty-sev-
enth degree, and shaking her corkscrew
curls very violently,whereupon a dozen
or more others. joined in, and the repor-
ter felt as if he had inadvertently tapped
a steam boiler.
Finally a mornful looking man took
the reporter aside and asked in sepulch-
ral tones what he wanted.
“I’d like to know what they’re doing
inside,” said the reporter.
“Karma,” replied the mournful look-
ing man. ~
reporter. .
“Karma is not who; it is what,”re-
sponded his informant, thereby giving
an explanation of that mystic word
nore concise and definite than any hith-
erto heard at this convention.
“But how do they do it?” asked the
reporter.’
“Sh!” said the mournful man with an
emphasis which may have indicated
that he didn’t know the answer to that
question, so the reporter tried him with
an easier one.
What is the process they are going
through in there?”
“They are absorbing the essence of
the spirit of ecstasy,” replied the mourn-
ful man, rolling up his eyes with the
easy action of a patent window shade.
“Do I understand you to mean that
they are taking a drink?” inquired the
reporter, still striving after accurate in-
formation. -
"Young man,” said the Theosophist,
after a scrutiny of entirely undeserved
severity: “such matters as eating and
drinking have no place in their lofty
thoughts, They are struggling with
the gmighty problem of the past, the
present and the future. ,Only those of
lofty spirit can take part in that coun‘
oil. We all hope some day to attain to
it. I am now here in the hope of re-
ceiving some, of the psychic influences
that emanate from that room.” ‘
The reporter didn’t notice any psychic
influences emanate, but he did see
Claude Falls Wright perform that same
act 'some‘ time later. Mr. Wright’s
aureole whiskers had paled three shades
and there were under his eyes those
puffy rings that may indicate either an
hour with the gods of which he made
mention or a night with the boys. The
reporter asked him what business had
been transacted within. Mr. Wright
turned a shade paler. ,
“Business.” he said in ahushed voice;
“do not speak of business. This was a
meeting of the higher spirits.”
“But can you not tell—3’
“I can tell nothing. It would be sac-
zilege. The common he rd would not
understand those mighty secrets that
we reverently discussed. ,It is horrible
to think of that the mysteries of the age
should be made common by the power
of the press. What was it you wanted
to know?” '
suggested the reporter.
' "He was there, but he did not reveal
himself, nor will he do so for a year
after Mr. J udge‘s departure to greater
wheres of activity. But he was there.
. )h, yes; he was there.”

The Saddle
Question.
This is an illustration
of the old style saddle.
‘ If you will observe it
carefully you will note
that it fits like a glove
(and a' saddle should
not). It presses the sen-
sitive parts, causes sore-
ness, stiffness and chaf—
ing, and has made cycl—
ing to a. certain extent
injurious, because few
could enjoy a long ride
without fear of injury.
