Sleeves, we all know, are useful

they are nothing but voluminous ad-

In the matter Of reception toilets tho

was about as gay color as could be
worn, but now comes my friend Clara,
who has spent the past month in Eu-
rope, and coolly informs me that
bright yellow is to be the dominating
shade for party gowns. Yellow! just

news it almost took away my breath.
But sober second thought relieved mo

overcome my prejudice, but when the

the Illustration. They are large puffs,
falling from the shoulder in graceful

What you and used to call plaits
the fashion doctors have named
"plisse." The so-called fan plisse is
still used in preference to the accordion
plat. The other day saw a unique
winter outfit for young lady in which
the fsn-plaiting played most impor-
tant part. It consisted of a street
dress of light green cloth, coat with
tight sleeves Of dark green velvet and

AN OPEN ARCTIC SEA.
Tho Existence Of One L. Not Alto
oether Improbable.
The Extraordinary Experience of an Old
Arctic Sailor Among the Natives
81 the Fri:fd Polar
Regions.

That steamers can pass through the
Arctic ocean in certain years is the
opinion Of Capt A. Il. McGregor, based
upon his experience in the polar re-
gions. Capt McGregor has seen TWEEN
ty-three years service in the Arctic,
and commands the steamer Orca,
owned by the Pacific Whaling com
pany, of San Francisco, says the Port
land Oregonian. He was in this city
lately, and talked entertainingly OF
his experience.
Last year" he said. mine of the
Pacific Whaling company's steamers
and ships reached Cape BATHURST, the
fsrthest point north and east ever
reached by vessel of any kind. We
had been whaling in Behring sea. and,
having finished what is termed the
outside catch in July. we started fer
the Arctic TO finish the season. We
passed along the east shore, rounded
point barrow, and then made the jour
Fey TO the cape, which is near the Me-
kenZie river We cast anchor ard
wha]ed there the rest of the season
The natives were somewhat surprised
at our appearance, 6uS as they had
seen white men before, they soon over
came whatever fear they might have
felt and became very friendly. They
did not differ in the least from other
Esquimaux. We sounded the ocea n
near the Mckenzie. and found that a
boat drawing more than four feet of
water could not approach within thirt Y
miles of the river. The land on both
sides was mountainous and covered
with snow.
The oldest native told us that 1t
was many winters since white men
came in boats, which led me to be-
lievc that no boat had reached the
cape since Capt Col!inson was there in
1855. Capt. Collinson and his party
visited the place in small boats when
they were making survey of the
British possessions. but they were
compelled to remain there three years
before they could return.
Nv. could have made the trip from
the Pacific to the Atlantic last year if
we had so desired, but our business
was whaling, not exploring. We found
what is called the breaking ground 4
the whales. which lies between Cape
Bathurst and the Mckenzie river.
We left four vessels, the Norwalk,
Balaeva, Grampus and Newport to
winter there while the others finished
the season on the Siberian coast.
Those that wintered in the Arctic have
been whaling all summer. but we nave
had no report from them and do not
know if the ocean is open again this
year. Natives at the cape whom l
questioned told me that the ocean xas
fairly open three years out OF four,
and that there was great big sea one
year in five. Last year was what thew
termed great big sea- and they said
that the same conditions prevailed IN
1889. A large vessel could lot pass
through a fairly open sea. so the
chances of reaching Greenland
through the Arctic sea are ore II five.
From this am inclined. to believe that
Collinson entered the ocean when it
was open"

has added many dollars to the price Of
this soft and really elegant fur.
Astrakhan retains its popularity for
capes, although it is no longer used FOR
coats and Jackets The circular cape
of this serviceable fur has swept tho
markets, one Chicago house reporting
the sale of four hundred garments in q
single week. The advantages of As
trakhan are many. 1t never loses its
color and is not too heavy for spring and
autumn wear. But in buying an AS
trakhan cape great care must be shown
in the selection, as there is no fur
which has SO many counterfeits. 1t is
safe to say that no really good well
lined Astrakhan cape of the prevailing
2s-inch length can be bought at re-
liable house for less than forty dollars.
If anything is offered at a lower rate
the buyer is justified in questioning
the quality of the goods.

are kid gloves with immensely large

made especially for reception toilets.

Suede gloves arc always chic and

can always say something, and very
often something bright. A newly
landed son of Erin enlisted in Uncle
Sans army. He had not been in
the service very long before he was
put out on picket duty. He march
ed back and forth with his gun on
his shoulder, and kept repeating the
sentence which he was to say if any
body tried to pass the line-"Ad-
vance and give the countersign, adj
vance and give the countersign, adj
vance and give the countersign,"
he recited over to himself.
Suddenly man appeared, coming
