the new wraps causes an exclamation
of dismay at the size of the sleeves,
a glance at the sleeves of the waist is
sufficient to solve the mystery. No or
binary sleeve could ever be put over the
sleeves of the fashionable waist Of to-

large purposely, to avoid any crushing
of the lace or material The sleeves of

Guided among the materials

cloth gown in summer, unless for some
cold day, was considered most inappro-

is sc great that there are as many or

makers as though~the season were au-
tumn instead of spring. Ore reason why
cloth is possible in summer wear is be-
cause it is now woven so much lighter,
and while. Of course. there must needs
be warmth il 1t, it is not such heavy,
hot material as might be supposed.
The trimmings that are now fashion

Owing to the effective quarantining and efficient sanitary precautions at Guaymas and other places, there is not the slightest danger from the plague entering Sonora or Arizona, but to make absolutely sure, the of ficiais on both sides of the line are taking all necessary precautions and are to be commended for their prompt action.
