pretty they are. Then, again, more
luxurious blouses are embroidered by
hand and silk. There is distinct Dill
minution in the favor we exhibit to-
wards Paisley blouses draped over

whatever that, when the fur coat be-
comes again our daily wear, the cloth
and velvet bodice win be banished
from our best regard, and chiffon or
lace blouses come in once more for
their full need of appreciation. Very
few of us can walk comfortably under
the weight of fur coat over cloth
or velvet bodice. The ordinary dark
shirt plated or tucked, with jeweled
buttons for it's sole adornment is very
popular for morning wear. Long,
loose velvet coats are amongst ele-
CANT extravagancies, and a novel
fashion is velvet dress worn with a
long satin coat, the outlines Of both
being definitely square.

Ioh+nino PoIka-Dots a Dress.

Altoona. Pa.-Mrs. H. E. Gingerich
of East Altoona was the victim of one
of the queerest freaks lightning ever
played
Her wash was hanging on wire
stretched between pear tree and the
house. Seeing a storm coming, she
hurried out to take down the clothes.
While she was thus engaged there was
a binding fash and she was knocked
down. The bolt had struck the pear
tree and run along the wire into her
body:
Her dress was polka-dotted with
holes the size of penny, the holes
looking as if they had been cut, the
edges not being singed. Immediately
under each of these perforations,
which were numerous, a blister the
size of the hole was raised on the
flesh. as If she had been scalded.
The woman's garters were clearly
cut in two, and the eyelets of her
shoes were made red hot, and burned
her severely. She suffered terribly
from the shock.

Where Women Propose.

In New Guinea 1t is considered
against the dignity of the man to
even look at a woman. and conse-
quently the women must make all the
proposals. If girl thinks she would
like 20 marry a young man she sends
a piece Of string to the sister or
mother of the man, and they ap-
proach him. If the girl breaks the
engagement the man may meet and
beat her, and If he breaks it. her re-
latidns may treat him the same. NO
time is wasted In counting and they
must make up their minds at once.

George M. Bowers, commissioner OF
fisheries, hopes to be able to give local
anglers some encouraging news soon.
He has started a move that is destined
to furnish black bass enough to stock the
Potomac river to such an extent that
good sport may be had at any time dur
ing the open season. All that is necessary
is to get favorable action by Congress
and the work of establishing a pond
culture station will be pushed forward.
Commissioner Bowers is extremely anx-
ious to establish such station in Mary
land or Virginia, believing fish enough
to stock the Potomac and other streams
can thus be supplied. Thousands Of big
mouth bass are soon to be put in the
Potomac They are to be brought here
from the overflows Of the Mississippi
and represent the rescue work OF the
fisheries commission.
Attention is being directed by the COM
mission to the culture of yellow perch
this season At the Bryant Point station,
twelve miles from this city. more than
1eO. 1000. 900 eggs have been gathered. while
at Hayre de Grace the number has reach
ed something like 2O0,0OO.OO0 While the
yellow perch is intended for market pur-
poses. anglers fully appreciate that there
is good sport catching the larger ones
with rod and line, and are applauding
the efforts of the fish commissioner.
It was a repetition Of the same old
story told by fishermen. The big ones,
and they were whoppers. got away. John
w Hurley and William ]. Sturbitts had
the story TO relate after last Sunday S
trip to Knoxville, a short distance from
Harpers Ferry.
1--WE had good sport" said one of
them, although the biggest of the fish
escaped.
Sturbitts got Seven bass and Hurley
landed eleven. The largest of them
weighed about two and one-half pounds,
but the big one Sturbitts failed to land
weighed fully seven pounds. The fisher
men have the word of John Leopold for
the weight of the fish, and John, who
is regarded as being one of the best
fishermen alon gthe upper river, has
landed many heavy ones.
If / had landed a fish every time l
got a strike, said Sturbitts, Il could
never have carried the string, but Sc
cured as many as any sportsman should
take out of the river In a day."
The big fish took the bait and gave
Sturbitts a fight of almost thirty min
utes. and when he felt satisfied he could
not bring 1t ashore. he handed his rod
over to the more expert angler, but the
latter had not better luck
I'VE did manage to get the whaler
within ten feet of the boat" he stated.
but the hook broke and away went the
fish,"
Hurley had similar experience. al
though he says the fish he had weighed
no more than four pounds.

They were we'll provided with bait and
had great stories to tell when they re-
turned home.
1.-The bass We're biting about as fast as
the white perch bite at this season." de-
clared Kearney, exhibiting a string OF
eighteen fish, but they would run with
the bait and get away.
And. after ALL. he added. Its just
as we'll that didn't get every one that
tackled our bait because there would be
none left for the fall fishing
Several of the bass weighed about four
pounds each. None weighed under one
and one-half pounds. -
Big white perch and rock are providing
plenty of sport in the deep water about
the city. Many good catches have been
made this week off Analostan Island and
in the deep water between there and the
Chain bridge, a number Of particularly
large rock having been landed. The
water has been in better condition this
spring than usual and anglers have been
correspondingly lucky.
There is also good sport to be had
along the Eastern branch or Anacostia
river. Perch and pike are being caught
there. and some large catfish are also be.
ing landed George Ratherdale. one OF
the fishermen on the branch, has caught
number of catfish weighing more than
three pounds each.
Mississippi catfish have been unusually
plentiful this season. They are caught

bridge and in the deep water off Analos-
tan Island

members of the Washington Anglers
Association, made their last effort of the
bass season at Great Falls several days
ago. They found many others there, al
most every rock being occupied by
fisherman: the shores were lined ana
still others were in boats.
Reaches and smeitS were used for bait.
and the anglers enjoyed fine sport, many
large fish being landed. Burgee landed
three fish. none of which weighed less
than three pounds, the largest one
weighing three and three-fourths
pounds
It was the first good run of small
mouth bass that had been found in that
vicinity this spring, and local anglers are
sorry the season here is over.
Thursday was the last day of the
spring season for bass fishing in the
District of Columbia, and during the
coming six weeks the fish will have a
rest, May % being the date for the open
ing of the later season. In Maryland
bass fishing is permitted until April 10,
but 1t is unlawful to bring such fish
into the District during the closed sea-
son. the law making possession as much
of an offense as the catching.
A surprising feature OF the Maryland
law is that IT permits the use of only
one hook TO a line. There is scarcely a
Washington angler who goes to Mary
land. however. who uses but one hook.
Thursday many took advantage of the
last opportunity offered to try their luck
in the District for bass and spent the
day about the basin.
