tendency toward the Second Empire MODES.
the sleeves and somewhat compressing them
are much liked, and there are other modlneo

Several of the best couturiers retaining
the short waisted skirts as a feature or their
new models, but the tops are quite dlnerent
from those worn with the now passee Empire
gowns A good example is a gown suitable for
the theatre or the restaurant dinner for II is
supposed TO be completed by hat made of old
blue crepe trimmed with little velvet In a
slightly deeper shade. The skirt is untrimmed
and hangs from high draped belt OF velvet
For the top is little close cape OF old lace,
the tint of ivory. bordered all about with velvet
and closing TO make pointed decolletase at the
base of the throat. The cape is somewhat short
of the elbow but there are under sleeves Of
the crepe embroidered with silver.
One sometimes the street short coat
of tan or black cloth worn with skirt of fancy
wool or velvet. This innovation for II certainly
Is one, may become more prominent In the
spring, but II is doubtful If it will have last
ing influence. That short coat shall match
the skirt has been the dictum for so many
years. and II is difficult to get away from the
idea that this is tbs only correct form of dress.
Nevertheless, costume seen in the Bois the
other morning looked most attractive the
slender, youthful wearer. The skirt black
and white checked velvet made with broad
box pleats and just clearing the ground. The
short jacket. slightly curved 10 the figure but
on the paletot order was of suede colore1
cloth with a shawl collar of suede and trimmed
with small, kid covered buttons. One could see
glimpse of red waiscoat. and the hat was a
broad, fiat toque of red velvet, having one
side a bunch of fancy red feathers.
Fringe has been used diSCreetly all winter,
and occasionally il is the dominant note of a
gown. A costume of blue velvet has the bodice
shaped like a big shawl collar, crossing in front
and edged all about with a silk ball fringe
The big armhole seen again here is finished with
the fringe giving the idea of a sleeveless bodice
The sleeves are of lace in the same shade OF
blue and fall into high chinchilIa cuffs.
Another costume with fringe is a gray cloth,
trimmed with gray and steel passementerie
There are four embroidered panels the skirt
finished with a deep fringe of silk and steel.
The gown has high draped corselet Of lib-
erty satin. and over this IS a round collar with
no visible closing. covered with the passemen-
tere embroidery and finished with fringe.

of the boy toes Then the surprised bear suddenly
stood up and began to look the boy in the face AS
the terrified youth sprang up, he thrust out his left
hand as guard and struck the brute with all his
might between the eyes with the other But the left
hand lodged in the two of sharp teeth and the boy
and bear rolled into the river together
But they were together only instant. The bear,
of course could not breathe with his mouth open the
water, and had to let go Instnctively, the bear
struck out for the farther shore
And the boy certainly had urgent business on that
side OF the river he did follow but kept very STILL
cnging to the the big bowlder till the bear had
shaken the water from his coat and disappeared the

Then the boy pale and trembling from fright and the

In two minutes the boy was out on the big, long,
messy log, kicking his boots off, and in two minutes
more he was dancing up and down on the humid, cool
moss, and naked as the first man when he was first

further end of the great fallen tree lay lodged on
huge bowder in the middle of the swift and
surging river. His legs dangled down and he
patted his plump thighs with great satisfaction.
Then he leaned over and saw some gold and sill
yer trout, then he Topped over and lay down on
his breast to get a better look at him. Then
he thought he heard something behind him on
the other end of the log! He pulled himself
together quickly and stood erect, face about
There was bear! 1t was one of those mean,
sneakng, long -nosed, ant-eating little fellows, it
is true, but it was bear! And bear is bear
to boy, no matter about his size, age, or charac-
ter. The boy stood high up. The boys bear
stood up. And the boys hair stood up!
The bear had evidently not seen the boy yet.
But it had smeed his boots and clothes, and had
on all fours, with nose close to the mossy butt of
the log, it slowly shut1led forward
That boy was the stillcst boy, all this time,
that has ever been. Pretty soon the bear reached
the clothes. He stopped, sat down, nosed them
about as a hog might and then slowly and lazliy
got up; but with singular sort of economy of
old clothes, for bear, he did not push anything
off into the river.
What next? Would he come any farther9
Would he? Could he? Will he? The long,
sharp little nose was once more to the moss,
and sliding slowly and surely toward the poor
boys naked shins. Then the boy shivered and
settled down, down. down on his launches,
with his little hands clasped till he was all of a
heap.
He tried to pray, but somehow or another,
all he could think Of as he sat there crouched
down with all his clothes off was:
Nov lay me down to sleep"
But all this could not last The bear was
almost on him in half minute, although he did
