THE gas-light after'l2 o'clock at night
is SO poor tina! it would be we'll for the
city authorities to look into the matter.
The streets are scarcely illumined enough
to see the distance Of half-square, while
some are not lighted at,all. TO those who
have to work within doors after that time
it is a source Of great inconvenience and
much Of drawback. We would be
pleased if something could be done by

HINTS ABOUT DRESS -MAKING-The best
modistcs are making coat sleeves almost
closefitting. yet far shorter than formerly,
with cuffs or pleated frills around the
wrists to show the white inner frill or lace
A great many pulled and shirrcd sleeves
are worn in the street. Cuffs are of SIM
PIE shape. merely corded on the edge, and
decorated by 4 small bow two pleatings,
headed with a scarf of gros grain ribbon
or \ bias band Of the material or of the
trimming. trim grenadine sleeves. Bas-
ques are rs long WASTED as the wearer's
figure will permit, and follow the natural
outline of the figure us closely rs possible
Long side forms in the back are seen on
most French dresses. Vest-shapped trim
mings and long revers collars, with square
corners low in the breast, are fashionable
for the fronts of basques. 1t seems almost
impossible to make the neck Of the dress
too high and close for style. no matter
how great the discomfort. Skirts of French
dresses are made longer in front and on
the sides than formerly, concealing the
foot entirely. This is an uncomfortable
and uncleanly fashion Side pleating for
trimming skirts of dresses are not made
rs full rs they were formerly The fash
ionable modistcs now use twice and a half
the length of the space to be covered. in
stead of three times the length. These
pleais must be caught on the wrong side
in the middle, pressed fatty above, and
allowed to flare below; rows of sewing
machine stitching holding then in place,
and may make them more regular looking,
but add nothing to their beauty.-H1rper's
