A very old material has come to the
front again. 1t is satin de laine, and,
made up into street costumes, it has all
the beauty of broadcloth without the
weight of the latter material. The light
pastel shades are used for these latest
tailor modes and the trimming consists
of stitching or band of the material, or
velvet of the same shade. The skirts
are in most instances single, the stitch
ed bands often concealing the seams of
the jacket and the skirt.
Never was there such a rage for deco
ration. As plain materials and long
smooth lines are the present vogue
there is every opportunity for the dis
play of trimmings. Prominent among
these are fringes and the Juror grows
every hour. They are used not only on
skirts, on bands and on flounces, but on
the ends of sashes and as finish for
the shoulder caps which appear on so
many of the handsomer costumes of the
coming season. There will even be ell
tire gowns covered with mesh work in
silk thread. Fringes are even used on
hats and on the ends of fancy neck
wear. Tom Thumb fringes from one
half to one inch wide are being used in
the making of allovers whose founda-
tons are variously taffeta, velvet cloth
and mousseline de sole. The fringes are
sewed on in various designs and the
sion for softness and fiimsness is &C
countable for the adoption of this class
of trimming. The stylish woman now
moves without a rustic. The materials
of her gowns are soft and fiimsy and
the lining is soft finished silk or satin.
Next to fringes in the line of decora-
tons come the appliques. These are to
be had by the yard or in set pieces for
the fronts of dresses. The plain cloth
gown in our large Illustrations this
week shows one of these applique de-
signs in black and white.
very rich and costly trimming TO
which / have already alluded is lace
with applications of fur. We illustrate
this week handsome foundation
flounce for this fur ornamentation. AS
it is very costly to buy, there will be
many of our readers who will be glad
to make it at home. 1t is a work that
gives plenty of scope for ingenuity.
The foundation for the fur in our de-
sign is French batiste, and where these
large bold lilies and the finer leaves are
are shown, it is there that the fur has
to be applique, the markings and the
outline worked either in buttonhole
stitch or with fine lace cord, or where
worn in the evening with some rich
brocade or gold cord. The scallops have
a foundation of network, the edge
worked with French embroidery cotton
Nos 80 and 100, and the uniting bars
have picots. A golden seal, brown seal
and beaver are the best furs for the
purpose, unless fine sable can be used;
but it is possible to procure from fur
riers small cuttings which, though in
valuable for lace, are useful for very
few other purposes, and some of the
cleverest makers of this lace adapt
their patterns to the morsels they have
in hand, and thereby greatly improve
the aspect of the work.
For all such laces it is necessary to
have some bold substantial flowers,
and it would seem that such laces never
look so well as on a groundwork of net.

DOGS THAT CATCH FISH,
Trained to Jump From Boats and Secure
Goldfish Hauled Up by Their Masters.


Dogs trained to catch fish are among
the features of everyday life on the
barren shores of that distant part of
Labrador which belongs to Newfound-
land. The valuable cod fisheries along
the LOO miles of Labradors coast
yield about one-fifth of Newfoundland's
total catch of cod, and furnish en-
ployment annually to thousands of
hardy fisher folk. The fish with lines
from $50 to 200 fathoms long, two men
to boat. and each man using two
hand lines. The usual bait is capelin
When fish are plentiful it takes a very
short time to fill boat with cod. A
number of the fishermen have trained
their dogs to assist them in catching
fish.
The rapidity with which the fisher
men haul up their long lines when they
feel bite robs the fish almost entirely
of life and breath by the time it reaches
the surface of the sea. 1t comes to the
top as completely exhausted as d sal
mon that has been played by an angler
until he can tail it with his hand and
so avoid the necessity of gaffing ii. 1t
is one thing, however to bring a heavy
cod to the surface of the water and an
other to get it into the boat CATS
and landing nets are unknown to these
tOilers of the sea. If they can lift the
fish into the boat by the line, all is
WELL but this is often where they fail.
II the fish is large and but lightly
hooked, as is often the case. the hooks
break away from its mouth when the
attempt is made to haul it from the
water The fish, still quite inanimate
in manner and appearance, floats away
| from the boat on the surface of the
waves. This is only for moment,

falling slightly over the hand and were
made of the Venice guipure.
l have described this beautiful gown
at length as it was made of epingle

rich toilettes Indeed, velvets both cut
and uncut will be extremely fashionable
this winter. Here is another elegant
dinner gown, this time princess form.
1t is an ivory white satin and has a
square decollete. The front is entirely
covered with guipure. which gradually
slopes off into a flounce en- forme,
which passes entirely around the skirt.
Beautiful rosettes of velvet mousseline

no means the specimens of canine mag
nificence usually known as Newfound-
land dogs. They more nearly resemble
Eskimo dogs than anything else, and
are often quite wolfish in both manner
and appearance. 1t is even believed by
many people that the blood of the wild
hrutes of the forest flows in their veins.
At post near Hamilton Inlet not long
ago the door of a house in which an in
rant was sleeping in a cradle had been
left open for a short time during the
temporary absence of the other men,
bers of the family. When the mother
re-entered the house she found only the
bones of her child. The little one had
been completely devoured by dogs.
The Labrador dogs are excessively
quarrelsome, and. wolf-like, always at
tack the weaker. All seem anxious to
take part in the fray, and scarcely a
season passes without the settlers los
ing two or three dogs during the sum-
mer from wounds received in quarrels
among themselves. Peace is instantly
restored even if 20 or more are engaged
in the ARRAY. by the sound, or even
sight, of the dreaded Eskimo whip used
by the Labradorians These people have
seldom succeeded in raising any other
domesticated animal on the coast. Cats,
cows and pigs have all been destroyed
by the dogs. If ever dog is brought
10 ~ he ucuse his doom is sealed At
the first opportunity the others will
pounce upon him in the absence of his
master and worry him to death. This
is the tnVarlable fate of any privileged
dog on the coast that is permitted to
enter his masters house and to receive
the caresses of the different members
of the family. The preference excites
the deepest jealousy in the breasts of
the Labrador dogs, and they patiently
wait for an occasion to avenge them
selves.
In the winter these animals will drag
a commetique or sleigh, so or so miles
a day over the snow. They haul wood
from the interior, carry supplies to the
hunters in the forests far back from
the rocky and desOlate coasts, merrily
draw their masters from house to house
and with their wonderful noses pick
out the right path even in the most
pitiless storm, If the traveller will only
trust to the sagacity of an experienced
leader he may wrap himself up in his
bear and sealskin robes and regardless
of piercing winds and binding snow
drifts, these sagaciOus and faithful ami
mails Will draw him securely to his own
door or to the nearest post. The COM
metique is about 30 inches broad and
10 or II feet long. The runners are
shod with whalebone, which, by fric-
ton over the snow, soon becomes beau
tifully polished and looks like ivory.
The commetique is well floored with
sealskins, over which bear or sealskins

fish and seizes it in his mouth. Return
ing consciousness, FASTENED by the new
sensation of being taken entirely from
the water and firmly gripped between
the Jaws of its captor, often produces
lively struggles on the part of the fish,
which add considerably to the difficulty
the dog has in swimming back with
his burden to the boat. The dog rarely
releases his hold upon his wriggling
captive until safe within the boat.
Sometimes these dogs have larger
game than Goldfish to struggle with in
the water. They are trained to plunge
into the ice-cold water in the spring of
the year and to act as retrevers for
their masters when seal are shot from
the shore on the surface of the sea.

of Newfoundland and Labrador are by

The Eskimo dog of pure breed, with
his strongly built frame. long, white
fur, pointed ears and bushy tail, is
capable of enduring hunger to a far
greater extent than the mixed breed.
But the latter beats him in long jour-
neys, even when fed but once day.
An Eskimo dog will travel for two days
