(Fro= Mgre's Jostrata of Dress end Yeshiva in advance

The new summer costumes this season meant the most
curious contrasts in style, the result of borrowing from
such different periods as thc reign of Louis X's., and the
time when Directoire jackets and large bonnets were
considered the ioust becoming attire with which a woman
could adorn herself ; the variety of the toilettes, and the
confusion of modes is most fanciful and attractive. Ladies
who arc both young and coodlooking, are charming in
their gentlemanly coats with lappelo and revers. lad Moir

the root end decorated with &coquille jabot of Mechlin or
fine Breton Ise,
! Ladies with slender figures, who wish to make the most
of • email waist, wear Judie bodices with long paints and
full peniers, which by adding to the apparent suie of the
hips, diminish that of the waist : those who are of larger
proportions adopt tho Directoin costume, which moulds
the figute gracefully and allows otf • rounded contour.
The tavourite model far seaside costumes is the Florian

OPENING OF THE FREENASONS' HALL

The new Freemasons Hall wail formerly taken posses-
sion of on Hondas evening last. A great number of the
brethren easembled on the occasion, and the business of
the lodge was transacted for the first time in the new
lodge room, which la both handsome and commodious,
'locfitted up in a manner characteristic of the Order.
The brethren found ample accommodation, and everyone
expressed his entire aatiefaction with the internal
arr.apicementa both for comfort and convenience.
. . . . .

After the forseel i;si;;;;; of lie lodge had been trans-
acted, the members of the Craft, numbering about fifty,
sat down to a sumptuous cold collation in the banqueting
hall below the lodgeroorn, and a very enjoyable evening
was spent We hope shortly to be able to announce the
grand opening of the hell by the provincial officers, on
which occasion there will doubtleaa be • lance muster of
the brethren from this and surrounding prorincea. We
feel sure tbe opening of this hall for the sole porpoise of
Freemasonry is • step in the right direction. as the
brethren have long felt the necessity for a masonic
temple of their own, which for a society like this was an
absolute want at Portland. inasmuch that when lodges are
hold at hotels and public houses the noble ends for which
such societies were formed, are often detested, and they
must always labour under the greatest possible disadvan-
Wm. We are glad to learn thet the Freemasons through.
out the country are working in earnest and are building
lodge-rooms of their own. We have been informed that
the lodge room will accommodate 50 brethren, and that
the same number can comfortably sit down in the
banqueting hall.

WAIFS FROM THE ROCK.

A certain official from "over water" whose presence
on the Rock indicates that someone has "over-run the
constable," recently paid • visit to • distant part of the
Island. On the return journey his courage seems to have
reached boiling heat, for he waded into & pond to cool
himself, but with the mud at his kneel and the water
at his neck, he found that the remedy was as bed as
the disease. On the calm night air rose the ery.
" Help ! ! Help ! ! !" and to the evident satisfaction of
this public functionary, help was forthcoming, and in
• pretty plight he wended his way to his distant
home.

" When the drink is in, the wit is out." This lea truth
which is daily confirmed. Here Ls • local illustration
of it. Some young men " would a fishing go," but
imbibing too freely, one of them very kindly (?) sent
another of his friends to stir up the fishes, but not
being able to swim, he sank twice, when another
companion went to his assistance and brought him to
terra *rasa.

"In the days of Auld Lang Syne " head stones appear
to have been diverted from thew ordinary use. In the
neighbourhood of Fortune's Well, a new hearthstone
being required in a dwelling house, the old one, which
had become broken, wee taken up, when it WWI found
to be • carved headstone, which had been wrought to
the memory of one "Jennings Attwool," who died in
IM-1.

A vacancy, I hear, will shortly take place amongst
the superior officers of the prison, by the removal of
the junior deputy-governor. I am sorry to hear it, for
he is much liked.
The " Pompadours " have settled down amongst us.
Their disembarkation was • mast tedious affair, for
the trooper lOW not put alongside the jetty, but
lionches used for their conveyance ashore, a few
being brought at atone. A. they landed they found
their way to the citadel, same by the eht-seg road,
