Many, years ago at a seaport town
on the North Sea-, Port Lethen, a fire
occurred in one of the fish-cutting
houses, and partially burned the end
Of the structure, which was piled full
Of lightly sailed, freshly caught had
dock, which were lying on beds of
dry kelp.
After the flames were extinguished
and the charred top and side Of one
Of the piles of fish were removed, the
Master pulled out one of the slightly
smoked haddock, still warm from the
heat. He smelt It, while the curious
group of men around him watched his
every move. He tore off a piece of
the fish, and, and tasting it, took an.
other bit, sagely nodded his head, and
passed 1t over to the foreman, Sandy,
saying: Taste you 1t, Candy! 1t is
nae so nasty"
This proved to be a great day In
Port Lethen, for every fisherman in
the town had haddie given him free

smoke from the burning kelp; and

almost exclusively, else, as one tailor
said, Il would make the suit too heavy.
II is hard to see just why light weight
Of black silk will make the jacket any
heavier than the same weight of light
silk, but the tailor knows, trust him.
The lessening of trimmings in tailor
gowns is due to desire to mark moro
plainly the difference between street
gowns and the more dressy attire that
may serve for calling. While the one
has become less ornate the other Rttain-
ed an even greater degree of deiicscy
than marked it last winter. Its sugges-
ton Of perishabiity. which in some cases
is very strong, may lie in its color or tex
ture. sometimes in both. Rarely fine
dressmaking is going into these get-ups.
Three of them are put here by the artist,
two of them in the first large picture.
The left hand one was light tan voile,
with tan antique lace sleeve puffs and
brown silk ornaments. Its companion in
the picture was white lace net trimmed
with medallions of embroidered white
linen. 1t hardly need be pointed that the
material here gave ample suggestion of
delcacy. The third example is at the
right in the concluding picture, and was
white crepe de chine made over white
and trimmed with black chantilly. De-
spite the dressiness of this grade of at
tire there's n considerable range in the
degrees of its complexty. Thus the first
of these three, but for its glorious sleeves,
might count as tailor suit, while the
other two are amply fine for most wom-
ems best dress-ups

weights of materials that really one al
most could live in shirt waist suits all
summer. White ones are to be very
stylish, and if woman's allowance for
the laundress is ullimited, it is feasible
to do, as one young woman declared she
should this summer, and wear nothing
but white throughout the season. But
the amount of the weekly washing will
be startling if that course is followed. In
the whites there are thick, thin and al
most transparent materials to choose
from. Piques and linens will make SER
viceable suits; so will madrases and
cheviots. For extremely thin ones, the
finest of handkerchief linens are beauti-
full, These white gowns have one de-
cided advantage over colored ones In
that they can be boiled and made to look
as good as new each time they are wash
ed Some of the delicate colors that are
pretty when freshly made will not stand
hard washing. There is so much danger
of fading out that half the time they
come back from the laundress looking
rather grimy, so are not as serviceable
in the long run as is white.
White with n little black in it either
as dots. lines or figures is admirable, and

suitings in novelty goods where gray and
white are combined are in favor and are

Fish Eiected by Volcanoes.

The stories of dead fish thrown out
by volcanoes have been revived by
the recent West India catastrophes.
In particular, great quantities of them
are reported to have oeen cast into thi
sea from the island of st. Vincent. II
is pointed out by French expert, Nj.
Girardin, that these fish are simply tho

craters during their long period of in.

clogged, then fills with water and thu
water is in time peopled with fish that

NEEDS OF THE OLD FOLKS.

BY Rev. Frank c. Bruner.
Many are the needs of the old folks.
How the children are crowded with
business. They long to hear from their
offsprings, of whom they have such
tender regard. How in the long ago
they cared for them. Why does not the
long-looked-for letter come? Often pa
rents have no greater need than to
hear from those that used to be their
constant care, How often they had
rocked them to sleep when tired out
from play, tucked them in when the
night was cold and the ground was
white. In retrospection how often the
old folks see the children, little and
helpless, clinging to their skirts when
they could put their hands upon them
and caress the darling of their life.
