SUCKERS IN HARRIET
HAVE YEAR TO LIVE

Sentence has been suspended on the
suckers in Lake Harriet for one year,
but next spring they. must leave the
lake for all time or be seined. They
were due to be captured this spring,
but the difficulty in obtaining seines
at the time that they were focking to
the shoal waters prevented the round
up when conditions were favorable.
Now the suckers have gone back to
deep water and will be hard to get.
Some enthusiastic fishermen are anxious
to have the lake dragged anyway, as
even partial destruction of the hated
suckers would be blessing, but Sam
Fullerton, the chief game warden, ad-
vises against the plan SO late in the
season.
In the course Of talk with Alder
man John II. Van Nest, Mr.. Fullerton
promised to look after Lake Harriet
personally and to be on hand next
sprino with enough men and seines to
get every sucker in the lake. In addi-
tion he promises to put in as fine lot
Of bass and: pike spawn and fry as
were ever placed in any lake in the
state.

SPRING GOWNS.

What some call blurred plaids and
checks are really very lovely and come
in finest materials. A gray that was
almost a green was combined with or
ange and showed occasional touches of
pinkish yellow tones. The trimming
was white braid and buttons covered
with yellow silk, the waistcoat was OF
white silk. Even in voiles we find these
delicate color combinations; delicate
grays blending with soft lavenders,
green and white prettily contrasted,
champagne and pastel-blue. There are
no startling contrasts, the softest tones
are employed.
A great deal of white is introduced in
the costumes of the spring, and all
through the summer white will have
sway. The vogue of chemisettes and
deep cuffs of lace, of wide white collars,
continues, and it is hoped this quaint,
pretty fashion will have long day.
A fashion that is trying to make head
way, but which we do not bank on, is
the elbow-sleeve for wool street dresses.
1t is French innovation, which will not
Immediately find followers In this prac.
tical side of the water. 1t would quite
ruin us in the matter of gloves.
The afternoon gown with elbow
sleeves is an assured success, and there
is reason in this; for gowns for home
wear or afternoon teas and card parties
we can afford to go in for fanciful ap.
parel, but for the eXigencies of shop
ping and marketing we prefer a simple
style of waist and coat-the shirt-waist
suit for instance, the costume evolved
in this country.
Colored hats are appearing; the mil.
liners tell us we are to wear gay head
gear the coming season. Green seems
to be having its innings even more than
last summer. which was quite green
enough, we thought. Maline will be ex-
tensively used for crowns and trim
mings, and it is generally becoming.
Outing hats will be almost universally
of felt, on the whole sensible thing.
