Children's Corner.
Children's Corner. BY UNCLE JOHN I I Judging from some of the postcards that have reached me for the competition, I must say I think a few of you are dodg- ing the question a bit. It is not the story of the worm and the early bird that was asked for, but your opinion as to whether the worm was an early one or a late one. Had that worm been out all night and not reached home beforo the bird caught it, or was the worm an early one which had started out earlier than tho bird? Try again. You will have time. Try the answer in prose or in verse-it does not matter which. While you are thinking about it, let us have a look at our letter basket. It cer- tainly contains a variety of little letters and notes. 1, Villievs-place, Jersey-road, 1km v- maen, near Swansea. Dear Uncle John,— It gives me great pleasure of writing you this letter. It is the first time for me to try and help your Corner to become larger, and also hoping that you will accept me as one of your nieces. I am sending a few riddles and a joke. What is the.longest word in the English dictionary :Smile.s. When does Christmas come after Box- ing Dayr—In the dictionary. Why is an infant like a diamond?— Because it is a dear little thing. DID NOT WANT A WIFE. The Tramp: Please will you gimme er few pennies ier me starving wife? Old. Baciieior: Not me. In the lirst }llaoo I haven't got any peQnies; in the second plaoo i have no earthly u-se i-or a btarving wife; and in the third place I don't want a wife anyway. -Annie Morris (age 12211). 3, Greyhound-row, Felinfoel, near Llan. el^y- i>ear unCle John,—This is the lirst tiine tor me to write to you.

The child was very pleased, and thought; much of his father's cleverness. Shortly afterwards the child took his father's new hat suddenly, and threw it out through the window. Father," s-aid the boy, M whistle your own hat back now." ;I.'he other pssengers laughed very hpartih when they saw what the child had don.¡ H a man -?M born in France, and edu- cated in England, and lived in Wales, where would lie be burie(l'In his grave.

For the Ladies. The COMING FASHIONS. Designs and Patterns of Beautiful Dresses. By MADAME GWENDOLEN HOPE. I There are somo extremely pretty party dresses, both for children and grown-ups, being shown at the moment; and there is a tendency to glitter on all of them. As these frocks will mostly bo worn under artificial light, this is a delightful fashion—one, too, in which exct-Ilent effect can be obtained at a minimum of expense. Evening coats and cloaks, too, are a- delight in their beatify of texture and graceful lines. The days of the long straight coat or cloak have passed for a while, and the new season's garments cling abousi the figure and drape them- f selves into the most alluring lines. _I A NEW COAT AND SKIRT. i The costume here sketched is .made of J navy gabardine, and is trimmed with bonei buttons. The collar j", made of moleskin —a pelt that is having a tremendous vog-ue this winder. The fashionable width it will be noted, is attained by the pocket- like bands at the sides. There i6 a half- belt. -which draws the coat into the figure very slightly at the back. The sleeves have a distinctly -maspuUnc cnt. an d are finished by smart wen-shaped <"u&'?. carry- ing ? single l»one button. These ?r? buttons r e rfnfa?d on the strappings of the s?'rt with ? very smaK ?n'ect. FROCK FOR A LITTLE GIRL. I The charming little frock for a child I illustrated "here is made of pale blue crep ?-de-chi ue and net. The cut of the garment is both novel and pretty, with its tiny gathered flpiLnce-Q at back and front .and the apron-like panels at the side. The little bodice is cirf all in one, in true Magyar stylo, and the tiny sleeves and the low-cut neck have a pretty out-line of stitchory. What lUtle fulness iberc, is to the bodice is caught in at the waist, and beneath this the fleuncv, begin to bunch out. In white the frock would do delightfully for party use A DRAPED TOQUE. The draped toque has become quite at feature for wear in the winter; and the one our artist has given us hMe is raad« 1 of gr?cn and gold brocaded ribbon. A black mount, is a smart finish. In a j toque of this chaiACter everything de- pends on the deftness of the fingers that manipulate the mnaterial of which it is made. and the end and e at which the mount, is put in. The shape must fit well down on the head, and must gradually widen out until the desired size of crown I is reached
