The little lingerie and net dresses for young misses are made as nearly as possi« ble like women's dresses, with the excepe tion of greater fullness of skirt and bodice.

Nemerous Noveltles for Infa While the styles In infants’ wear vary so little, each season finds some novelties added to this department, The style of the garments may not chahge, but the em- ployment of the seabon's latest novelties in material and trimming offers a great 7ariety to the consumer.

In coats the box coats and high waisted empire effects prevail, Infants and Childre Fineness, daintiness and exquisite quality in materials and trimmings are the char- acteristics of the dear little clothes in- tended for the Infant and small child. Some of the little dresses are beautiful in thelr simplicity, and even the most costly christening robes with thelr manifold com- binatlons of lace and embroidery bear: the same gentle air of daintiness and elegance. Princess and Yoke Robes. The long robes and first short dresses are made of the finest nainsook, Infants' robes are made in both yoke and princess styles. The yoke styles may be ornamented only on that portion of the garment, or may have horizontal trimmings on the skirts, consisting of tucks and narrow lace insertio; In the more expensive ones, real lace and hand embroidery are used, and in“those of moderate price machine tuckq and fine imitation lace. For this purpose Valenclennes lace Is most em- ploy ed A princess robe fit indeed for a small princess has the graduated panel front made of hand embroldery inset with fine lace medallions and hand run tucks that are a marvel to behold. It Js made with the round neck edged with narrow lace. As the price is $285, the lace and em- broidery are both of the hand variaty, But there are less expensive robes of the same general style that are sulted to purses of moderate means. Fremeh, Duteh and Princesss Dressen, Baby Irish, Irish crochet, Valenelennes and oluny laces are used in narrow bands and' edgings for the ornamentation of the first short dresses.

Then there are Princess dresses with the one plece front and flounce in the back, and with the sesh eénding under ribbon rosettes at either side of the front The Dutch dress has a square neck, short walst and short sleeves, and will make any chiid look like the plcturesque little Dutch maidens of the story hooks. All of these styles have lace trimmed skirts, or may be selected with the tucks for the sole em- bellishment of the skirts. A materlal that is quite new for the small child’s wear s cotton crepe. This is shown In smocked dresses, which are quite new, and several styles of smocking are ®hown. In the finest French crepe these little dresses are $, and they are being chosen by the richest mothers.

They are trimmed with shoulder capes of the material embroidered with sprays of flow- ors In the corners and scalloped edges.

For children from 2 to 4 years there are qoats of white washable corduroy, mado cape collar and fastened with pearl but- tons. They are unlined or lined with silk. They should be washed In lukewarm ‘water and soapsuds made with wool soap, and rinsed out In water of the same tem- perature.

Carriage and erib plllows are in heart and oblong shapes and covered with embrofdered white nain- sook, which may be slipped over a white, pink or blue pillow. The Infants' feeding plate is a usefnl novelty, as it is almost impossible for the baby to dash the food from the plate on account of the fancy half inch rim that extends up around the edge of the plate. This is decorated with a picture and nur- sery rhyme. Baby's feeding and toflet chairs now have china silk cushions tufted With baby ribbon and edged with valen- clennes lace, so as to keep the air away from the small back. The newest eribs are made of gold fin- ished wicker with a festoon of roses about the sides. These are either lned with tufted cusiions or have the sldes laced through with satin ribbons. The white cribs have part of the design picked out with gold and decorated with the gold rose festoons along the sides. Bonnets and Hats for Tiny Girls. The quaintest, most charming little hats and bonnets are to be worn by the tiny tots this spring, and it is easy to imagine the delightful pictures they will make when decked out In all the bravery of their spring attire. Dear little blossoms and ribbons are used for the decorations of the little girls from 2 to 5 years, and for the older girls there are hats with larger brims, poke bonnets and mushrooms that closely re- semble those their mothers will wear. And what gives more delight to the haif-grown #irl than to have her hats and dresscs look like mother's The most plcturesque of all the bonnets tor the chila from 2 to & years is the early Victorian bonnet. This is a tiny poke with a big crown, and is made of rough straw. Around the crown there Is a twist of pale blue velvet ending in a big stiff bow at the top, while set on the brim is a quilling of oune-inch velvet ribbon it tles under the chin with blue strings and is intended both for street and motor wear. Charming little soft bonnets are made of hair bralds and lace straw with a thin sflk Iining. These are round affairs which are rather broad. The trimming enhances this width, as big choux of ribbon are placed at the sides. Only one or two sprays of tiny flowers are used on these, Of course they are tied under the chin, and they are 5 #0ft that If the wearer should fall asleep In her carriage she can rest comfortably. The first caps worn by the baby are of fine embroidered nainsvok, wimmed with baby Irish and Valenclennes lace, or en- tirely composed of innumerable rows of narrow Valenclennes lace. Then there are the practical little sun hats made of white piqué or linen, many ot which can be taken apart to be washed The display of lingerie hat is more than usually comprehensive. FIRST HORSES IN THE WEST Earliest Horses on the Plains and Probale Origin of Wild Bands. The first horses of the western plains probably were brought there by the Spaniards. In 1545, more than fifty years Lefore Jamestown was settled. Coronado, the Bpanish captain, was roaming about the plaine of New Mexico, and he telis of the d6gs used by the Indlans to Maul their plunder on lodge poles, indicating that they had no horses at that date. In 178 the Spanish again worked their way westward across the plains, uns thelr letters tell of the astonishment of the Indlans at keelng the horses they had with them. The expedition was con< stantly losing horses, and there is little doubt that the first droves of western horses originated from theso strays. In the early days upon the plains they were as great a pest to travelers ag they are today. Woe be unto the luckless camper Who allowed & band of wild horses to get close enough to his gen- tle horses, turned out for the night, to sweep them off. —Bt. Louls Post-Dis- patch.
