The fashionable dressmaker always desires you to be under her guidance. She dislikes ones having too much in dividual taste, or too pronounced an opinion about froclz. Indeed, unless you are very firm, and really annoy her, she will tell you precious little about how your gown is to be made.
 Everything is a surprise, and when you have asked:
 " Are you going to use green velvet around the waist or black?" the answer is likely to be-
 "Nimporte," wait and see. And then when one does see the frock, one doesn't know it. This plan has its advantages and disadvantages. If you want a thing very much you are likely not to get it; but what you do get may be better than your wishes
 First we saw the bridesmaids toi- ltes, and they were dainty and sim Die to degree. which r axe them more artistic than modish-taere is great difference, you know. It is to be a White and yellow wedding, with yellow roses as the flowers
 The froclls were of white mousseline de soie' over white satin, and the skirts were absolutely untrimmed. Around the bottom was deep hem reaching half way to the knees. The soft, full waist had immense bouffant sleeves to the elbow, and were drawn down over the white satin lining with slight 1ullness in the front, while the collar was frilled band of the mousseline with rosettes at either side. Around the waist was drawn broad yellow satln sasha regular old-fashioned broad sash, and it tied in full bow at the back. This touch was so charming ana original, as the sash for many a pay has not been in vogue. liked it, but madame said:
 Wait until you see all the other ap- pointments."
 The slippers and gloves were in one oox with the hosiery. The slippers were of yellow satin, with tiny rhine s'one buckles, and the yellow silk

stockings were embroidered in yellow roses, while the gloves were of white glaee kid-the newest fashion, but I do not think it will be success.
 The hats were large Leghorns, pie turesquely trimmed with white plumes and long, narrow buckles at one side. These six frocks were made exactly alike, and this shows artistic sense, for to have two bridesmaids in one color and two more in another, and so on, is a horror too often perpetrated. The great trailing train was swept across the cloth, and we saw the bridal robe a perfectly plain white dress, of the heavy bride-satin, as it is called. It was fastened in the back, and bertha of rare old lace was drawn across the shoulders, and tied in knot at the bust with short ends, reaching the waist. It was most quaint, and 1 asked madame if was not an unusual wedding gown. Her reply was:
 'sYes, but we thought it would be a little bit original to have Miss - gowned in this artistic way on the day of the wedding. She is an exquisitely beautiful girl of the English type, and the wedding will take place at her mothers country place up the Hudson" The froclz was absolutely untrimmed, but one did not wish it otherwise. The veil was to be of the same lace as the bertha, both being heirlooms, and & diamond sunburst was to fasten 1t di- rectly in front, but no other jewels were to be worn.
 The travelling gown and several of the prettiest of those just completed were exhibited next, The going-away dress was a pretty brown crepon, made with just touch of white, and as the journey was only to be from one coun- try place to another, it was not neces- sary for the usual service cloth dress to be worn. This brown crepon was very dainty, and the arrangement of the bodice especially pleasing. The rufies of crepon on the sleeves were an inno- vation, and were piped with white sat in falling from elbow to wrist. The full Paquin blouse had narrow piping of the white on either side of the front box plait, while the collar had band of the white placed directly in the mid- dle, and was covered with brown net. The hat to complete the costume was brown rough straw of the sailor shape, and the white satin rosettes, and the brown trimming of quilts, with narrow roll of velvet, was very pretty. Pale tan suede gloves and a parasol of brown, with awhite handle, were the finishing touches.

Water Wheels.

The point is made by writer in ono
of the mechanical journals that the
greatest obstacle now encountered in
the successful operation of water wheels
is, from an economical aspect, the too
often entire absence Of engineering skill
in utilizing the power, and that many u
water power would develop greater eff
cheney were it properly controlled and
had the turbine been selected because Of
its adaptability to the conditions and
been properly set. On their introduce
ton, he remarks, turbines We're used
singly, hut now they are used either
singly or i'll sets of two or three or more,
as expedient, and i'll batteries of sets
by the use, too, of iron or steel pen
stocks and feed pipes the expense of in.
stalling has been largely reduced and
far greater economy in the use of water
secured; the growing demand for large
units of power has also been satisfied,

horsepower turbine was almost unheard
of, turbines of 5000 horsepower are
now employed.

Mystery That Scientists Have Not Yet

Been Able to solve.
Naturalists long ago studied the com
position of the gas contained IN the
swimming bladder Of fishes and discov-
cred that It consists Of the principal
constituents Of the air-namely. oxygen.
nitrogen and carbonic acid But these
constituents are not mingled in the fish :
balloon in the 9ame proportions As they
ara IN the atmosphere, and besides their
proportions do not remain always the
same IN the fish. Sometimes the bladder
contains hardly any oxygen al others
oxygen constitutes nins%ehths IF the
whole contents.
The variation III the quantity If oxy
gen Is somewhat mysterious, and nat
uralists have offered sevssal different
suggestions as 10 the cause Of It some
think tho fish may be able 10 control the
quantity Of oxygen in its bladder by its
own will. Blot, distinguished French
naturalist, thought he had solved the
problem by discovering that the proper
ton Of oxygen WAS larger in fish that
lived at great depths and smaller in
those that lived near the surface of the
sea.
But quite recently new observations
made from the Prince Of Wlnaso' 5 yacht,
Princess Alice seem 10 prove that Blot
was mistaken and that the deep dwell
ing fish carry no more oxygen IN proper
ton than do those living in shallow wa
ter. Some Of the fish whose swimming
bladders We're examined by the natural
lists on the Princess Alice came from
depth Of no less than Tile.
They We're compared with fish which
seldom descend below 200 feet in depth
and with others which prefer depth Of
about 800 or GOO feet and all had near
" the same proportion If oxygen to aid
