4 GLANCE backward at what the
n dressmakers were preparing this
time last year shows what a revo
luton of fashion has been going on
right before our eyes, and one which
some Of us have hardly realized even
if we have noticed it..
First of all the sleeves-for these are
really the points which date a frock and
a photograph unerringly. Last years
unwieldly wrist puff has vanished, a
thing for which one is or ought to be
devoutly thankful. The newest things
in arm coverings are smartest when
they are shortest; the more abbreviated
their career the better style they are.
Butterfly sleeves are among the latest
caprices Of fashion. They are just full
puffs deeply shirred or plated into the
over featherbone cords right or the cen
ter of the forearm, and little loops Of
the same cording tackled to the lining
to hold out the material in butterfly
shape. Needless to add that this sleeve
ends above the elbow; and a perfect
cascade of lace or mousseline or chiffon
frills wends its foamy way just as far
down the arm as may be becoming.
A delightful style for the short
especially suited to the organdies, dot
ted Swisses, batiste; and even to the
crepe de chine frocks that are so dressy
in even their simplest Appearances
the ombrelle sleeve that is entirely GOV
cred with ruffles either Of lace, of the
material itself, or fashioned from plisse
chiffon frills, each with an edge OF
Valenciennes whipped on. This shape
must be cut perfectly circular If it is
to hang right; and the ruffles must over
lap each other.
Parisians Cling to B1ouses.
The cleverly dressed Parisienne is
still clinging determinedly to that smart
little blouse effect which goes so far Il
atone for many deficiencies of figure
On this side Of the Atlantic, where il
must be confessed we are far more tickle
in matters Of fashion than they are il
France, where the modes are made, this
same little blouse effect has been de
clared passe; but like SO many othe,
features Of the passing styles. it is
doubtless, only dropped for a while, t.
be resumed again with even more fervo
than at first.
With the recent revelations of tn,
waistline, and the demand that it shall
take to itself a %roundness and a slender
ness to which it has long been
stranger, this same smartly dressed
Parisienne makes a clever compromise
That cute little blousing or sagging lin
above the waist in her bodice is LITE,
quite a trif1e; and now with a very dee
ceinture this blouse, while it is pres
emit. does not interfere in the slightes
with the svelte curves of the waistlin
which prevail in all of the modish frock
of the summer time.
And, by the way, this same ceintur

part of the gown. Once the sleeves ot

lining or fashioned separately over a
tapped featherbone foundation, according
to its style and character. Some of the
cleverest inventions in this line simulate
style with very handsome buttons, n
the bodice blousing over this loosely,
with perhaps q smart frill around the
edge for a trimming.
Changes in Skirts.
The skirts Of the summer frocks, too,
are nightly different from those Of the
summer past. While shirrings are still
in good standing, especially for dispos-
ing Of what might prove to be superfu-
Gus fullness, there is less of the yoke
suggestion to the skirt tops thar there
used to be. All of the best materials,
the v%oiles, the henriettas, the t~affetas
and messalines, to say nothing of the
cotton weaves which are out in such
numbers that to recount them were a
needless task-all of these are of the
kind to hang in good artistic folds when
merely adjusted with a few rows OF
shirring at the waistline.
This mode brings back the vogue OF
foot trimmings; and whatever scheme
Of decoration is planned for the skirt
is usually disposed on or Immediately
above the hem. Those smart little bouil-
Tonne bands are now fashioned with
featherbone cordings in the edge; and
a stiff little quilting of the material or
of silk or even of velvet ribbon closely
plated is poised at the top. All OF TING
latest frills are made to stand up instead
of following the dropping lines of last
season: a hint that the clever girl who
is compelled to remodel any OF last
YEARS gowns will not be slow to take
heed of.

NOVEL SUGGESTION FOR SHIRTWAIST SUIT.
Simple in effect and still elaborate in detail, this charming design
will work up well in silk or Sicilienne for a shirtwaist suit. There
is a unlned yoke of lace, the regulation lace collar fits in well, and
may be laid upon velvet, and to this combined yoke the blouse is
applied in overlapping sections, each one seemingly buttoned to the
succeeding one. The seeveis a full puff with doublecuff effect over
the elbow puff, while the skirt has a yoke in the same overlapping
style as the waist, and to this the fullness is applied in forward turn
ing plaits, two to each gore. Overlapping diamond pieces of the
stitched material decorate the skirt above the hem.

Draped Skirts Threatened.

There is rather more than a rumof
that deeply and heavily draped skirts
are lowering on the horizon. just await
ing a favorable moment In which to
1annch themselves. Assuredly the vogue
of the draped bodice and the draped
sleeves seems logically to invite the
draped skirts.
Some of the smart imported embroid-
cred batiste robes for the extremely hot
weather show a hint, a shadowlng OF
this mode in the arrangement of the
many embroidered founces. The foun-
dation is absolutely circular in cut, and
the ~founces are arranged in f~estooned
lines, giving a draped effect to the
whole affair.
One thing, the present vogue of the
short skirt-that is. just short enough
to show the tip of the shiny black shoe
which is decreed the correct thing for
dressy wear-will have to recede; for a
|draped skirt that clears the ground all
around will be more than apt to give
even the tallest and slenderest beauty a

sover-adventurous c%outuriere, and that it

ed ON in doubt. They did not believe

lieve that he would take them into q
death which would carry him with

The point Of the island butting out
toward the bar was now close ct hand.
While the breakers from the ocean
come nearly to its shores, the men be-
lieved that the island could be passed
by the fat bottomed river boat.
But Jarvi headed straight ON.
"Why do you not turn to the rieht7"
asked Captain Budlong.
"We would run her into the sand, !"
replied the pilot. ...----. ...-......... 1880.
"But you are running her into the
Breakers" replied the sheriff.
cit is better for her there" coolly
replied the treacherous man ct the
wheel.
The boat began TO rock and leap like
a wild animal which found itself sud
denly in the clutches of an enemy. It
was but q shell, only intended for the
smooth waters of the river, and could
not be expected to live ON the ocean and
especially on the river bar, one OF the
toughest places known to seamen. The
men down stairs fell about the deck
like drunkards and while some became
deathly sick, others were alarmed.
Sankala could conceal her fears no
longer. "That man." she said, sis
taking us to our doom. The boat can
not live in this sea. He could have
passed the point OF the Island without
coming into the breakers. The water
is deep there.
She had come from her place OF con-
ceaiment and spoke with sill Of the
earnestness Of o woman, and the cool
ness of a man.
Jarvi looked around at her with a
ghostly smile of contempt, but did not
bulge the wheel.
Consider yourself prisoner" said
Captain Budlorg.
GAN right" replied the pilot. Then
he released the wheel and walked out
of the pilot house. The boat leaped
and reeled. The propelling wheel al
ternately rose above and sank deep into
the water revolving az uselessly Of
a futter-mill. The vessel was left to
the mercy of the breakers.
The last extremity had been reached
The sheriff drew his revolver, and,
pointing it at JarVi, said:
$50 back to that wheel and take Ut
out of this or shall shoot you like 9
dogl"
"All right" replied Jarvi in q con-
temptuous voice.
Then the man started as if he would
enter the door of the pilot house, but
he turned quickly and leaped into the
foaming breakers below.
Sankala. keenly alive to the impend.
ing crisis, bare headed and bare armed
sprang to the wheel. She glanced
down into the angry sea, and hurriedly
examined the shore line to the north
then with distended muscles she bore
down on the lever that governed the
rudder, and rang the engineer to turr
on the steam.

OPAL Fossil OF q Shark.

Since they were first discovered the
famous opal fields at White Cliffs, N.
8. W., have yielded many curious fos-
sis, particularly those of prehistoric
marine life. But the latest discovery
is a most extraordinary one, and will
prove of the deepest interest to the
scientific world.
1t Is that of a fossilized, or rather
opalized, member of the shark family,
which was found on block No 6, at q
depth Of thirty-five feet from the sur.
face. The Sydney press says that the
spectment measures 8 feet 6 inches
from the snout to the tip of the tail.
The body Is in seven sections, the cir
conference Of the largest Of which
(the head and shoulder portion) is
eighteen inches; each section is six
inches in length.
The deeply indented eye-sockets
show plainly, land thin veins of pur.
pie opal encircle the fish from tip to
tip" At the mouth these veins make
an oblong and clearly defined course,
though the continuity Is occasionally
broken. No particulars as to weight
are given, but as the fossil has been
sent to London these ond other mat,
tiers Of interest will soon be deter.
mined. 1t was purchased from the
finders by an opal buyer.
