Ko   Bait   Is   JSeqalrod and tho Sport Is
Full of Fna,
I&JrTr as November's chill days draw
to a close the water-side population
halls with glee the return of the season for frost fishing, says tho New York
World, Theanan who has never leaned

all along the Bast and North river j
shores and up the sound. Tho outfit'
inquired is extremely simple and cheap.
No bait is needed, and, last hut not
least, the game once caught is about
the finest pan fish of all the salt-water
fish. At this (season thesa slender, sil-
•vc-ry fish cruise in great shoals along
■shcfiljr nosing into all tho crevices in

piles and woodwork. Usually they swim

heek lashed on a pole. The tackle is
thus' made: To a light, round stick,
about an inch thick and three or four
™lSet long, ia iu.sb.eu a stiff two-and-a
JiMHeot wire (an umbrella rib is just
-tne tfeisg). io the wire is fastened a
large but very slender and keen fishhook. With this effective weapon yoh
can sling out frost fish by the score. Tho
method of using it is this: Yo(u lean
ove"vflhe edge of the dock and peer
clownv-iong the edge of the wood-work.
Soon yeu see a frost fish or a dosen of
ii'.ora nosing along. Slipping the hook
into the water, with the point outward
(otherwise yoa will be likely to hook
the wood and break the tackle), you
work it cautiously under the fro3tie.
Then with a quick jerk upward you impale him and land him on the pier.
After a few efforts you will seldom miss
a single flsh. It is prime fun, but you
sittat be warmly clad to enjoy it. ■'
Remember, too, that lying on the edge
oi a wall or dock is a fine position to
empty yont pockets, so do not carty

Announcement has been made tbat
the bustle is to be revived, says the
New  York  World.    In its incipient
stages it has already appeared.   The
obnoxious little accessory of woman's
toilet which for the last five years has
BP-es in disuse is-no longer to he ignored.   A premonition of the renewed
interest in the formidable little pads,
which  supplied  nature's  defleleacie1.,
was given when padded hips came in.
A  tiny  roll   measuring   about  eight
inches across and four deep is to be inserted in the drcr*-  -*■'• ,    Since the
abolition of hair has become
necessary    to to   something
which will fill lirements and
hold out ths ; irt of a Louis
Seize coat.   Th .; seems to fulfill
the mission art........ly,    If hair-cloth
linings or bustles are to be the alternative for modish gowns, women, it is
thought, will choose the lesser of tht
vsvCr - wife, Widen 15 tlie ->L->£lt_. The
blls.lo is light in weight, ifc absorbs no
moisture and it does not attract the
dust and dirt of the sidewalk- In
ISurope the bustle has already assumed
generous propurlions. Hair cloth
modeled into a triple box plait or three
organ plaits aro tho newest examples
from the manufacturing concerns. It is
predicted that tho evolution of the
short bustle into tho old-fashioned -filter, which corresponds to a hoopskirt
relieved of wires across the front, wiil
be very rapid. Then there is but a step
further to insure the restoration cf the
hoopskirt in all its circular glory
Wire bustle3, capable of being increased
or decreased in size, are among the winter's novelties in this line. There is,
however, some timidity evidenced by
tho coatumers hero in thrusting the
bustle upon the public. A cautious
movement is on foot among modistes to
pave the way for it3 acceptance by the
public. With this object in view, whalebone is being inserted in the seams ol
dresses at the back. This makes a
graceful curve and imparto a much-desired basis for tho ftillnesa which is the
distinctfve feature of all up-to-date
costumes. Maidens who affect the ess-
thetic in dress will deplore the revival
of tho bustle. Less obnoxioui. styles
cany disfavor vrttk those esthetes, and
their objection to ita adoption laay act
count. Small ree^s Jn tho back ot
