In Stock Borough a village scare over a predicted comet end of the world ends when schoolmaster Marten vanishes after the eclipse hoax. Milly and John survive with old Mr Patterson and wife, find buried silver, and jest over the near miss as the town recovers its wit.

It highlights organdie designs with a low backed bodice, gathered full ruffle, lace edging, and a modest hem.

A new chakia design borrows from a dressy frock made of yellow bengaline. The garment features a plain skirt and a refined silhouette.
A fashion blurb describes a shirred front waist with a bengaline belt and braided trim, plus a shoulder ruffle finished with braid.
