THE RETURN a
 OF THE GIRDLE

The .colored sash and girdle is com ing back, this pretty fashion which has been lost for the. past few years in the vogue for Empire and One-piece effects, will be welcomed by many. There is no doubt that a1touch of col or at the waistline adds greatly to the becomingness of the white frock, while the smart effect on a gown of chiffon Or lingerie is not to be questioned. Soft shades of blue, rose, ecru. green. red, lavender, as well as black are mostly seen, in some cases the crush ed girdle ends in crossover finish at the left side; other styles show a mar rover girdle with military sash ends, that is one short end coming under the girdle and falling over. the top.

SCHOONER LOSES MAsTS.
Wind Blows Spars Of the Isaac Solo,

Reports received in this city from the
two-masted river schooner Isaac Solomon
state that the vessel was caught in the
heavy blow Wednesday and had both her
masts blown out. The vessel. it is stated

near Craney Island, and Mr.. Rose will &c

A sudden and extra heavy flaw in the
wind struck the schooner and bO. h masts
went over the side. In falling they car

said. none Of the crew was injured.
AS soon as Capt. Rose can have the
wreckage cleared up the vessel will be

Capt. Rose has been unfortunate with
his vessels of late. A month ago he had
the schooners Caroline Mears and the

time the MearS has been sunk by a navy
tug towing her rapidly out of the range
of the guns at Indian Head and the Solo
mon has been put out of service by the
