any plain waist may be made stylish and use
full by making sleeves of plaid. Add a collar
aud belt OF the plaid and the waist is done. A
plain fold of the plaid down the cenrer front
may be added, or a strip laid over each shou lder
seam ending in point over the sleeve.
Sleeves OF chiffon in silk or satin bodice
make a drsssy waist.
A handsome bodice OF silk or satin may be
made TO do admirable service by adding sleeves
of printed velvet, or of the checked or striped
yelveteens.
The upper sleeve is the melon sleeve. 1t is
principally popular for evening and house
wear. 1t is cut in sections and over the seams
joining these is laid narrow jet of gimp trim

A GOOD CHANGE.
Los Gatos Mail.

1t is charged by his enemies that j. D. spreck-
els is the new political boss of the Repu blican
party in San Francisco. The proof of the
charge would be very hard to produce. Mr..
Spreckels evidently has great ability as a
leader, but it is eqnally evident that he is far
too much of q gentleman to be success as a
political rounder, ward politician or a boss.
But even IL the charge were true, the change of
bosses from Martin Kelly, Dan Burns and
Senator Mahoney to John D. Spreckels is SO
great as to leave great cause for thankfulness
and congratulation.

and an alarm was at once sounded. The
hose cart was hastily brought to the fire;
but when a connection was made to the
plug it was tho same old story, no water,
the plug was froze up. An effort was
made to get water through the pump sta
ton line, but when steam was run into the
pump it made two revolutions when the
valves stuck and the pump could not be
fired in time to do any good. Hot water
was then procured and one of the borough
plugs was thawed out; but by this time the
machine shop and jenkins large tenant
house were roaring mass of flames. The
bucket brigade was doing effective work in
saving nearby houses, but it looked as If
the residence of Il. H. Evans was doomed
to go. Just at the critical moment the
water came with sufficient force to save
Nj Evans house. The fire started from
the furnace under the machine shop and
when discovered the shop was SO full of
smoke that it was impossible to enter it
and save anything The household goods
