WATER.
ming the hook of a pocket scales
through the blight of the smell, the
angler raised the fish.
''Three pounds ten ounces" said
he, ''and with a belly rounded like q
fifteenth century prior's."
Then he lay Cynoscion RECALLS
back upon the deck, a living jewel
bathed in brine. His sides were sill
very, with irregular dark, undulat-
ing stripes. His eye looked like a
spot of jet in a circle Of amber He
lay perfectly still except for a faint
motion of his fanlike rudder. AS
the light touched his armor the
FURNISHED scales took on iridescent,
Kaleidoscope. hues.
''Do you think he is dead?" asked
the angler.
''No, sir; he is only wind-blown."
The angler leaned over the side
of the boat and placed the fish gen.
side, supine, inert. But the waves
handled him and the juvenescence of
old ocean trickled through his GRIM
son gills. His body began to tilt un-
til it stood nearly on an even keel.
His dorsal fin rose like sail on the
far horizon. Cynoscion RECALLS was
alive again. One flirt of his mighty
tail, one heave of his virile, flexu-
Gus body, and he was gone, leaving
the angler wet with the spray of
his parting salute.
Two hours later the angler went
down an elevated railway staircase,
near Central Park West. At the foot
of the stairway carriage was watt
ing. In it sat woman wearing an
anxious look.
"Oh, John,' she said. II am so
pleased to see that you have come
back in time. Really, I was getting
ightened.'
''Well, my dear, I don't see what
there was to be afraid Of"
"Why, do you know, was afraid
you would not get back before all
the fish stores were closed."--N Y.

Canndn's Gam Fields.

To one who knows what the vast
solitudes of northern Canada really
mean the dread of game extermina-
ton does seem rather uncalled for. The
latest census of Labrador gives it a
population of one man to every 35
square miles. This can hardly be called
an inconvenient crowding. There are
almost as many persons in a single
East side New York block as there is
in the whole of Labrador. Why should
game become extinct in this region?
| must confess can see no reason why
the caribou and the bear and the other
animals should not live out their lives
just rs they have always done. The
number killed by man must surely be
quite Insignificant. The same condi-
lions obtain in northern Ontario, the
greater part of the northwest terri

state of affairs in the world of fash
ion. Yet so feeting are the delights
of the summer season, and SO swift
ly do the wheels of fashion move
these days, that as an advocate of
true economy I advise women to pur-
chase as little at time as possible
and under no circumstances to al
low themselves to be in any way
taken in by the many bargains in the
way of summer raiment, no matter
how great the temptation to buy
may prove to be.
The prettiest afternoon gowns
worn by the smartest women are in
variably those of distinctively pic
turesque nature. Dressy little cot
ton frocks have fanciful collars or
fichus of dainty embroideries, while
the summer blouse of the moment
has become thing of beauty under
the benign influence of gorgeous en-
broidery and fine old lace, put on
with liberal hand. The craze for
loose effects shows to particular adj
vantage in the pretty little boleros
and short sac coats of the moment,
which are considered very smart in
deed. All white and black and white
effects are as much sought after as
earlier in the season, but I am
bound to tell you that the all-black
gown is considered the SWEETEST
thing going. The newest models of
the latter very much resemble coats
of mail by reason of the large
amount of steel and jet paillettes
that are. being used in tunic form,
over an undertakes of closely-plaited
silk muslin or fine black French net.
A few of these we're in evidence late
in the spring, so it is hardly novel
note, although very striking one.
Alpaca is fabric that seems never
to quite disappear from fashions
list, though it's popularity is often
an uncertain quantity. Just now,
however, it is much in demand, par
ticularly for travelling purposes, and

The coat especially must be cut and
finished by a first-class tailor, other
wise the whole thing is irredeemably
ruined.
Truly, taffeta silk has had revival
quite unprecedented. Smart evening
gowns, charming afternoon dresses,
handsome mantles and swell-looking
travelling coats are all being made in
this chene surfaced fabric. They are
mostly made in plain colors, and
very few of the old-fashioned spot
ted effects have appeared, though
they are still procurable, and GER
tainly take wonderful light and
shades when properly manipulated;
but just now Dame Fashion seems
very decided in the interesting mat.
ter of colorings. Lace blouses
trimmed with narrow pipings of
taffeta are being made to wear with
taffeta skirts later on. This is con-
venient and pretty fashion, if not .
generally becoming one.
Speaking of skirts reminds me to
tell you of change that is coming.
According to report that reaches
me from over the water the skirts
of all except evening gowns are worn
by the -Parisians only just to touch
the ground; in fact, in some cases
just to clear it. Many of the smart
est plain alpaca and tatfeta skirts
are made in this ideal manner. In
direct contrast the evening frocks
are longer than ever before. Surely
this is wise fashion, and I am con-
WINGED that those of us who love the
virtue that is next to goodness will
welcome the dressy frock whose skirt
does not collect dust and dirt with
each times wearing.
The most successful summer gowns
are those that are the most individ-
ually distinct. A dress that is all
frills and furbelows without any dis
tinguishing mark is not the one most
approved by Dame Fashion at the
present moment. A dress recently
seen, which carried out this distinc-
tive idea to perfection, was fashioned
of white poplin, the skirt cut in tho
loose flowing lines of the Louis pc"
Rod, and worn with q bodice coat
to match. I need hardly say the
wearer of this gown was fair and
tall and wore it as though it were .
part of her own beautiful self.
Within the week have seen two
or three lovely frocks made of cof-
fee-colored lace over underdresses of
pale green or white batiste. One of
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1902-09-25

these was made somewhat after the
princess style and was remarkably eff.
fective down to the very smallest de-
tail. For less grand occasions are
the drill, canvas and linen de sole
frocks. They are simply made, and
little trimmed-perhaps an edging of
embroidery or fanciful ribbon-and
sometimes worn with little sac coat
of coarse lace. To carry out the slop-
ing shoulder effect now so much
sought after, many of the new neck
ruff1es almost seem like pelerines, so
broad and flat they are.
One of the latest things in neck
gear is a large fiat collar of glace,
partly yelled with another collar Of
finely pleated mousseline de sole.
From this I see still prettier evo.
luton from the old-time neck ruche,
and that is large fiat collar, sup
ported by chiffon or tulle, with long
flowing ends of the same.
Many fashionable women still re-
main faithful to the ostrich feathers
boa, not alone for it's becomingness,
but because it protects the back of
the neck and adds an imposing grace
to ones appearance. Nothing is more
difficult in these days of transparent
collars than to get a complete finish
to the back of the neck, and in this
respect the feather boa has no equal.
Chiffon picture hats in pale shades
will form large portion Of the late
summer millinery, invariably finished
with lace, either plain or jcweled.
No matter how fashions may change,
the large black hat, simply trimmed,
is always in good taste and wearable
on almost every occasion. An all
black picture hat is, of course, in no
way complete without ostrich plur1es,
which should even be of the best
quality.
After all, fashion is n wonderful
thing, and smartness still more so,
but the most difficult of all things to
obtain is the inimitable quality
known as "chic." 1t seems to me it
is the all-important qualification
which goes to make a really good
dresser. If one possess it, she can
wear old clothes and make them ap.
pear like new, and by the way she
puts on last years coat she can in
some way manage to give her friends
the impression that it is an up-t:r
date garment. In the matter Oh
dress "chic'' is far more important
than a large dress account, though
the latter is, of course, a thing not to
DO despised. KATE GARDNER

STILL NEEDS THE WORKERS.

The world still needs the workers, though
it may sometimes forget
That it owes the weary laborers an ever
lasting debt;
Without the busy toilers gold would cease
at once to buy
The things that please the palate or are
grateful to the eye;
The world still needs the people who must
labor day by day.
But the world keeps on forgetting, in its
easy-going way.
The lady in her satins, who IS beautiful
to see,
Forgets that those who labor lend her all
her witchery;
Without the busy toilers all the millions
she commands
Would not procure scented piece OF soap
to wash her hands;
Without the busy people who must labor
all their days
All her money wouldn't even buy new laces
for her stays.
The magnate who looks proudly on his mil
lon-dollar yacht
Forgets to give the carpenter single kind
ly thought;
He ceases to remember as he sips his splen-
did wine
That without the ones who labor there
would be no fruitful vine:
He forgets that all his money wouldn't
clean the crumbs away
It there were no luckiess people who must
labor day by day.
The ones whose names are famous, who are
high and great and proud,
Forget that pride would Gle without the
busy, weary crowd;
Without the ones who labor none could hope
for greatness here,
Without the busy toilers all We prize would
disappear.
Oh, the worlds still needs the people who
must toll through all their days,
But the world is so fcrgetful in its easy
going ways.

His First ~
Weak Fish
BY
sMICHEY FINN

THE sloop yacht Sibyl lay tugging
at her anchor rope in the middle
Of the Fishkill channel, in Jamaica
Bay. June had lain her smiling bene-
diction over all the land and sea. Gases
of grass in the black water waved in
the pulsing of the ebbing tide. A
strong breeze from the ocean had
kicked up fretful sea. The wind was
warning with the tide. The wide wa
ter reaches were alive with white caps.
The spume from the little waves swept
the deck of the Sibyl. It was bap-
tism by sprinklihg. The sun was rest
ing his chin on the edge of New Jer-
sey, throwing fiery pathway up the
lifting tide, and painting the horizon
with reckless prodigality of color.
The angler stood in the cockpit with
a ten-ounce rod in his hand. 1t was
fashioned with wood from the jun
giles Of Calcutta. A master workman
had welded 100 pieces of this resilient
wood together with glue such as Guam
arius used in his sobbing violin. The
rod was further strengthened at in
tervals with fibres of crimson silk.
The guides were lined with smooth
glass and the tip with amber. When
at home the rod reposed in rosewood
box carpeted with blue velvet. No
woman can ever take the place in an
anglers heart occupied by his best
fishing rod. That rod had skittered'
pork rind for pickerel in the wilds of
Pennsylvania. 1t had jerked the gym
nastic bluefsh from his environment
of blue water. 1t had thrown a thin
shadow over the smiling ripples of the
Neversink at the foot of Slide noun
tain. 1t had conjured leaping grilse
from the tide waters of. the Miramichi,
and still it's spring was arrogant, its
fiber unimpaired. >a'
The reel was mechanical gem of
solid silver. cunningly devised, like a
Jurgenson watch, its pivots running
on Jewels, its barrel multiplied four
times with each revolution of the
handle. The lightest touch would set
it whirling as if in sheer delight of it's
perfect bearings. For any one but a
high priest of the art Of angling to
touch this reel were a proclamation.
The line was of 12-thread linen of
special weave, with tensile strength
of ten pounds to each of the 800 care
fully paraffined feet. The cost of the
line only was sufficient to pay
months rent in a tenement house. The
double leader was five feet in length,
of carefully selected silk-woven gut,
and the hook of blued steel, keen and
cruel. 1t measured three-quarters of
an inch from shank to barb, and
would have held anything from
shark to a rubber boot filled with sand
in swirling East river racing tide
way.

guide. "We'll have to reef her goin'
in. Shall take up the anchors"
