The Char's Children.
The children of the Czar of Russia are
always dressed with extreme simplicity,
says one who knows something about the
domestic life of the Remotions. The lit-
tle grand duchesses wear plain white
cotton 01 cream serge"dresoos, with sail-
or collars and plain black silk bows tied
in an English navy knot. Their hats
are shady white straws, 'trimmed with
black ribbons and fastened on with elas-
tics, Their shoes are of stout black lea-
ther, with very soft uppers and sensible
!heels, and they wear black' stockings of
cashmere, with no openwork frippery. On
Sundays and holidays a little more elab-
oration is permitted, but even then the
little Romanoffs do nee, present nearly so
fine an appearance ae many American
children.

Junior Coiffure,
For very young girls there is nothfn9
prettier than the hair parted in the
front and brought hack over the ears
to the nape of the neck, where it is
braided, looped and tied with a broad
ribbon. Fair hair always looks well so
dressed, but dark hair will be equally
pretty and girlish -looking if the front
portion is tied on top of the head in a
pompadour effect, then braided and
looped and fastened with a ribbon, at
other half of the lair to be braided in
the nape of the neck and arranged e.0
above. This looks neater than the wavy
fluffiness at the elites of the face -so
picturesque -looking when the hair is fair
-and neat effects aro always best for
dark hair.

then the second is a compliment to his

a failure, then can he be blamed for
