Certain details of dress are being
hotly debated at the present time, and
in the end we shall all follow the
whim of the moment, as we are al
lowed to do in these happy days. Last
spring the new fashion Of long sleeves
was much heralded, which for some
queer reason the dressmakers tried TO
force us to accept when summer was
coming in.
The fashion, so far as summer was
concerned, was foredoomed to failure.
But when autumn arrived, of course,
the time of the long sleeve had come,
and down it crept accordingly until
now, when, apart from the prevailing
frills, the material itself reaches down
half way to the finger tips in the cid
familiar Bernhard fashion.

Bedight reached to the beach as if
to pick up his fish Instead, he reached
six inches farther, took quick, strong
hold on the bottom of one leg of the
warden's trousers, gave a mighty tug
upward and, as the disconnected ma
tive turned a somersault in midair,
broke for the boat Seeing his evident
intent, Miss Andrews encouraged the
leap. but alas for human precision!

there was clatter, a scream and the
next instant Miss Andrews found her
self in seven feet of water. She came
up with a gasp and would have swum
to safety, for she was athletic, but the
mayor, in the same predicament, came

cases a friend would encourage her

the list grew. The young man got so
much mail matter that San Antope
