What tbe Little Folks are Wearing
thia Summer.
BERTHA BRO WR ING.
Batiste of all descriptions is the
material most in vogue for young
girls' dresses and children's frocks,
of dressy order. Taffetas a'e also used
usually of a fancy type show.ng small
checks or equally small broche ef­
fects on a plaiu or changeable
ground, and iu medium tints, For
ordinary wear there are pique, lineu
ami neutral fabrics fashioned into
frocks of simplicity aud trim style.
Tl>e dressy gowns for young girls are
simple too, but not without some de­
gree of elegance. Many of the skirts
have oue or two tlouuces about tbe
lower edge and these are often set
on with deep bands of embroidery or
lace. Tucks and ruffles are much
used while the knife plaitings ot
■atiste are a much favored garniture
for frocks of dressy order.
A great simplicity pervades the
linen, pique and light woolen suits
for girls. These usually have a plain
skirt trimmed only with bias folds ot
the material. The Jacket is a short,
narrow semi-fitted one with basques
never exceeding four inches In length.
Girls from twelve to sixteen do not
wear tbe corselet skirt nor are they
suitable for any but fully developed
figures. The Parisian girl attains the
age of sixteen before she Is considered
sufficiently developed to wear such a
style.
FOR THE TOTS.
For younger children from five to
twelve, the same materials are used
with tlie exception of taffetas. For
these, tlie skirt is usually completed
by a blouse while tucks and very
narrow frilling are the favorite trim­
ming. The la>st frock may l»e of eye­
let embroidery having a ribbon sash.

A free scholarship in scientific ami
practical agriculture is open to some
young man who can demonstrate bis
fitness for the privilege. E. J. Hol­
lister, the Dean of the Winona Agri­
cultural Institute, at Winona Lake,
Indiana, announces that he will give
tills free scholarship, providing for
tuition and living expenses for tbe
two school years. Thus it will be
seen that the young man who wins
this scholarship will get through with
comparatively little expense to him­
self. Tbe course given in tbe Insti­
tute embraces agriculture and horti­
culture. Tbe student will not be al­
lowed to take up any special line,
either in the practice or tbe acquiring
of these kindred sciences. However,
special privileges may be granted
where the student shows a decided
taste for specializing. Competition Is
open to young men over sixteen years
of age from any State in the Union,
of good character, endorsed by two
well known citizens. Those who wish
to compete should write to tbe Deau
not later than August 1st. giving a
brief history of their life and live
reasons why they desire to take up
agricultural science. The work is
simplified so very much at the Insti­
tute that candidates having a Com­
mon School education should be able
to succeed, and after graduating have
an opportunity to take up practical
work at other |>oints where the Dean
is now directing the development of
small farms or reclamation projects
and where lie is very much in need
of the assistance of trained young
men. By reason of this uecessity, be
offers this scholarship.
