once you began searching the stream for
fish there were all sorts of strange and
pretty things to be seen at the bottom
colored pebbles and the like; but when the
pebbles were picked up and dried all the
colors disappeared. This, however, was so
perfectly in accord with fairy stories that
Tommy didn't mind
After a time he found a loach with it's
wavy body set nose-wfse toward stone.
Very cautiously he got his hand below it,
and with a mighty jerk sent 1t high onto the
bank. 1t was a most successful capture,
and put him in good temper at once. But
a dead loach was no use to him, and he had
brought no jar with him; accordingly. he
held the fish in the water with one hand
that it might not die prematureiy, and with
the other made a dock for its reception.
When the loach was transferred to this 1t
appeared rather fiabby and inclined to lie
over on it's side; but Tommy had hopeful
temperament.
What are you doing?" asked voice.
Tommy stood bolt upright, with his legs
straddled. and stared round.
Hello Miss Mortimer he said; - say,
you did give me a fright!'

Outing Gowns.
From Harper's Bazaar.


There are for the autumn some good
gowns being turned out in cheviots covert
cloths and the double-faced cloths. There
is not great deal Of difference noticeable
since last spring In the cut of the skirts;
some have the double box pleat, others the
inverted box pleat, and there are some with
an almost plain habit back. The newest
have one box pleat. stitched fat TO the
skirt itself with rows Of machine stitching
that form point toward the belt. This Is
supposed to be more becoming than the
straight lines of stitching. Another model
has three smalf box pleats that are shaped
to be quite small at the belt, and are
stitched fiat on either side for a short dis
tance below the belt. and II the cloth be
heavy II Is cut away under the pleats. The
jackets are tight fitting. rather short and
made like the old-fashioned dress waist
with q round basque at the back, and
opened at the throat with small revers and
ned-doWn collar.

These evening comfortables take the
shape of capes no bigger than broad fur

the hem of the happy wearer's gown. A
