THE TALE OF A FISH.
AS Related to Rio Friends by the
Veracicus Jenkins.

They had been discussing fish and
fishing, when jenkins suddenly added:
Did | ever tell you about Pitt Sing.
my pot Japanese fan-tailed goldfish?
Bought her from Jake Hope for $40,
and she is no longer than your finger.
But about her intelligence. OF course,
she comes when called and eats out Of
your hand and all that childish non
sense; but here's thing she did
which indicates thought, reasoning.
brainwork. One day candlestick fell
from the mantel on to the thick glass
bowl in which Pitt Sing was dream
ing. The Candlestick cracked the
bowl and knocked small hole in 1t.
Pitt Sing, all alone In the drawing
room, saw the water that was essen
tial to her existence flowing through
the hole and what do you think she
did? She plugged up the leak with
her tail, anl in that position, | found
her on my return an hour or so later.
She had saved her life, but the end OF
her tail, from exposure TO the air, was
all shrlveled and cracked. | had to
massage 1t with cold cream before the
poor little thing could swim again.
There was painful silence for few
minutes; then when Dumply said ii
looked like rain everybody but Jen

Yellowstone Park.

The reservation known as the Vel
lowstone National park, set apart for
public uses by an act of congress
passed in 1872 covers a tract of about
65 miles in length from north to south,
and about So miles in width from east
to west, lying chiefly in northwestern
Wyoming and overlapping to small
extent the, boundaries OF Montana on
the north and Idaho on the west.
This gives an area of 1912 square
miles, tract that is nearly the area
of the states of Rhode Island and Del
aware combined, and nearly half as
large as the state of Massachusetts.

Good charade words are ingratitate,
turkey, sinecure, dramatic, and
telescope. A good amusement is
soap bubble contest, nail pound

superstition party where each guest
wears his or her favorite aversion.
OF course l mean something to rep

disregard its many special advantages
when applied TO theater coats and
wraps generally, while, then, it is to
be noted that the sleeve of elbow
length-or rather, shortness-caa now
be discarded by all those who may
prefer the more protective and becom-
ing sleeve, whose career continues to
the wrist, and whose claims to re-
newed favor are at last being recog-
niZed.
Blouses are of universal interest
and women are constantly needing to
add to their supply Of these most con
venient garments. u our large illus
tration above we di;play variety OF
patterns. from which helpful sugges-
tons may be oh, lined for the making
of these garments.
The special features of fashion
which vary from those of the fall and
winter season of 1905 are theRskirts
and the sleeves, both having become
considerably s'ra'lar. The ordi2ary
tailor-made mans sleeve is prominent
| ly adopted on the long coat, while the
skirts invariably TT closely round the
hips, and beast their little fulrcss in
the center of the back.
| The short skirt and the long skirt
are alike in evidence, and since each
may nest successfully play a different
part, there is no reason that the
charms of beth should not be recog-
nized imrartially.
Although there is much talk OF - lk-
ing velvet dresses with the short
skirts and long coats, | would hold
that, as general rule, the long skirt
looks far better in velvet. Velveteen,
however, may have success as a
short skirt, and besides these checked
and striped velveteens of which have
already spoken, | have met some with
blurred spots upon their surface, and
others with a pattern Of some conven-
tioral design in fine black.
The models in hats all seem exactly
alike, invariably of the bell-shaped
style, the only alternative being the
beaver toque, which has an upturned
brim, and is trimmed with a couple of
skeleton feathers or fanciful
mount" of plumes.
The tunlc swathed round the figure
is the latest novelty for evening wear,
though it is, of course, bat a revival,
like all good novelties. II is made OF
good crepe de chine, and dra lged
round so that it fits quite tightly over
its lining, while 1t is bordered with a
thick silk fringe, and it rests on a
brocaded or embroidered petticoat.
Numerous are the tweeds in stripes
and the most successful rival to the
stripe is the costume which consist
of checked skirt and plain coat
such checked skirt being constantly
made OF velveteen, while the coat is
invariably of cloth. Then there acC
some checked tweeds strapped viii

Ii is in coloring, rather than in CON

has ordained for the coming season
are to be noted, and while the general
outline and scheme of our garments
are these with which we have become
pleasantly familiar during the past
few months, everything viii be trans
