For woman of 5 feet 5 lSS pounds is
the proper weight, and if she be we'll
formed she can stand another ten pounds
without greatly showing it. When her
arms are extended she should measure
IRON tip of middle finger to tip of mid
dle hnger just feet 5, exactly her own
nelght. The length of her hand should
be Just a tenth of that, and her foot just
seventh, and the diameter of her chest
a fifth, says the New York World. From
her thighs to the ground she should
measure Just what she measures from
the thighs to the top of the head. The
knee should come exactly midway be-
tween the thigh and heel. The distance
from the elbow TO the middle finger
should be the same as the dis
tance from the elbow to the middle
or the chest. From the top of the
head to the chin should be just the
length of the foot, and there should be
the same distance between the chin and
the armpitS. a woman of this height
should measure twenty-four inches
about the waist and thirty-fOur inches
about the bust, if measured from under
the arms, and forty-three if over them.
The upper arm should measure thirteen
inches and the wrist six. The calf of
the leg should measure fourteen and
one-half inches, the thigh twenty-five,
and the ankle eight. There is another
system of measurements which says
that the distance twice around the
thumb should go once around the wrist,
twice around the wrist once around the
throat; twice around the throat once
around the waist, and so on, but the
first is the measures used by sculptors
who have gained them by measurements
of the Greek statues.

SUNDAYS AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Mrs. Cleveland's Old-FashiOned
Notions AbOut Its Observance

Notions About Its Observance.
Mrs. Cleveland has some good old
fashioned ideas about Sunday, and does
everything in her power to lessen the
work of the servants on that day.
Luncheon at the White house is served
early and is cold, and the servants have
all the afternoon and evening to them
selves. the president and his wife usu-
ally dining at their country house on
that day, says the New York World.
during the summer two colored women
prepare all their meals, but when the
season for state DINNERS begins French
chet assumes the reinS of government
Ill the kitchen. Mrs. Cleveland is
much beloved by all the dOmeStics, who
have become attached to her by the
same frank, pleasant manners which
have won her friends among all classes.
When she came home from her long
Journey i'll the West and South she
went into the servants department of
the establishment and received quite
an ovation from the domeSticS, for each
OF whom she had CHEEKY Salutation
and whose faces and names she remem-
berS with the same accuracy that has
helped her so greatly in her social du-
ties as wife of the president, where she
is called on to recollect a prodigious
number OF persons she has met very
casually.
Her personal friends she receives
very informally in the morning in her
own sitting room. She wears great
deal on such occasions morning gown
of blue-gray plush, exactly the color of
her eyes, whose tints bring out in high
relief the healthy freshness of her skin.
When she and the president are alone,
or are entertaining informally, they use
private dlning-rOOm, which is one of
the handSomeSt in the house, and has
none of that hOtel-like stiffness which
makes the state chambers so unhOme-
like. Mrs. Hayes was very fond of this
room, and during her regime she had a
very handsome set of carved mahogany
made for it, consisting of sidebOard,
buffet and side table.
The dining table is round. This room
is lighted entirely from the sides, in
stead of from above, the illumination all
coming from brackets holding pale rose
cOlOred shades. Side light is always
more becoming than that from above,
and Mrs. Cleveland finds her guests
look very charming in this level, pale
rose radiance. The sideboard is adorned
with beautiful glass and some very fine
gold and silver plate, part of it dating
from the Monroe administration. Among
these are two very handsome soup
tureens, tea and coffee urns and a pair
of crystal and silver claret jugs. The
forks and spoons are of gold and were
ordered by Van Buren. The hand
sOmest china was ordered by Mrs.
Grant and Mrs. Hayes. There is srl-
perb set that the latter had made from
special designs. All Mrs. Cleveland's
wedding presents which took the shape
of household goods are out at Oak
View, except such things as she needs
for personal daily use which the White
house stores do not furnish.

ATTRACTIVE SLEEVES.
The Styles Which Cloak the
Charms of Pretty Arms.

About a year ago the fashionable
world was startled by the sudden ap-
pearance of the wide, full sleeve. and
SO great was the change from the plain
tight sleeve that fit like ''Ze paper on Ze
wall that many of fashions fair de-
vOtees seemed at first inclined, for the
first time in history, to rebel against
the good old DANES mandate, says a
writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer. How
ever. enough of the fair ladies" ac-
cepted the new style. extreme as it ap-
peared, to prevent it from falling into
''enOQueS deSweitude." and thus it has
been kept before the fashionable world
until familiarity has at last robbed it of
the ungainly proportions at first at
tributed to it, and ii now bids fair, with
all its variations, TO become quite popu-
lar.
The painfully plain sleeve is no
longer considered the sleeve par ex-
cellence for the fashionable toilet, but
something ornamental, matching, of
course, the trimming of the garment, is
much more stylish.

MY SWEETHEART.

She is not beautiful, know
Perhaps she isn't even pretty;
And, sure, no man alive could call
Her either clever, wise or witty.
To knowledge of the "ologies''
And "isms," she makes no bold pretension
She's ever ready to admit
They're quite beyond her comprehension.
She's simply satisfied with life;
Deyoured by no high flown ambition,
She never "agitates" for rights
Nor talks in public of her mission"
She's but modest little maid,
And lowered with few of natures graces;
Yet, for one smile from her, pass
Unmoved by all the fairir faces.
Her eyes are blue and bright, and yet -~'.
l must confess I've seen eyes bluer, ..
And brighter, too, but lie 'er heart
That's fOnder tenderer or truer.
Her face, her form, her ways, belize, 4.
From rigid standards make DETECTION;
Where others most would criticise, &
"Tis there my eyes most find perfection. Il
Her voice is not at all music, no, ~
Nor in the dance her foot the fleetest; 5,
And yet somehow, of all sweet girls, ~
My little sweetheart is the sweetest. =
Within my heart high -pedestaled.
She sits supreme-but God above her;
She rules my life, know not how,
Nor why. only know love her.

DREAMS.

As / came through the valley sleep
Upon each side n frowning steep,
a dream my weighted steps o'ertook:
Il am the fear thou wouldSt not brook
Through all the hours of light,
But thrust my face from sight,
My whisper from thine ear;
Now close on thee | wait
Thy secret fear
And | foreShadow fate"
As came through the valley sleep,
Where singing waters hidden creep.
a dream arose and kissed my brow;
Il am the hearts desire, whom thou
Nouldst lift no voice TO greet,
Nor own me conQuering sweet,
a mounting cordial fire;
am thy bosom mate
Deep hearts desire
And | foreshadow fate"
Whose comes through the valley sleep,
Whether he wake 10 laugh or weep,
Meets with no herald from afsr,
No warning gleam of natal star;
But III her regal place,
And with no masking face.
Jnhoodwiuked and unbought
Most pure, iuyiolate,
The lord of thought,
The soul fOreShadowS fate.

Girls and the Whistling Craze.

''There are few young ladies in So
ciety who can not whistle" remarked
professor of music, who has great
many pupils in aristoeratic circles, to a
New York Mail and Express representa-
tive.
"What has given them the whistling
craze?"
The wonderful whistling perform
ances of Mrs. Alice j. Shaw and Mrs.
Jennie II. Campbell have stimulated a
legion of beautiful imitatOrS. But the
feweSt number can whistle with any
thing like success. They can carry an
air through very well, but the shading
and the piceolo-like melody are absent.
1t is sometimes very amusing to see
young lady pucker her ruby lips and try
to whistle some popular air to her own
accompaniment on the piano. The ac-
whistle is often marred by glaring de-
flclencieS in the art of blowing sound
through the lips. Mrs. Shaw's flute
like notes are simply phenomenal
compared to the average young
lady's, and those who expect
to initiate her successfully must
in the first place he assisted by natural
aptitude. Some men can whistle with
ease, and produce notes of clear, cryS-
tai quality, while others who are good
musicians, too, can scarcely whistle a
common tune. The same can be said of
women. Some years ago it was a rare
thing to hear young lady whistling, but
now nearly every household has young
daughter that goes about the house try
ing in dolce far niente way to initiate
the birds. / remember the time when
it was considered very unrefined for
young lady to whistle, and the mother
always chided her by repeating the
very trite lines about whistling
woman and Growing hen never coming
to good end. All that is changed now,
l mean among social circles in
the large cities, and the mother
and father are just as proud of their
daughters whiStling accomplishments
as they used to be of their skill as mu-
SicianS. The mandolin, guitar and
banjo for the present are relegated to
the back stgirS of unpOpularity to make
room for the new craze. l know
young lady who can whistle VALID
teufel waltz with such sweetness of eX-
preston that her listeners are charmed.
Her beautiful lips seem principally con-
structed for waltz time, for she does no
other pieces as well. 1t takes practice,
confidence and natural gift to attain
the highest rung of the ladder as
whistler. Mrs. Shaw is the great diva,
and stands unrivaled. In a few years
all the young ladios will be better
whiStlerS than the young men,"

In the above cut is shown what might
be called the original style of full sleeve
and which migl also be entitled to the
distinction of the pioneer sleeve, as it
was the first to contend for honors with
the plain sleeve.
The upper part of this sleeve is of the
material of the dress, and is gathered
Just below the elbow into broad, close
fitting cuff of velvet braided and fin
iShed with buttons. Sometimes the but
tons are merely set Oh. and sometimes
button-hOleS are worked. Of course, by
means of buttOn-holeS better fit of the
cuff can be obtained.
In the next the plain sleeve is orna-
mented only with bows of ribbon, both
top and wrist, held i'll place by points of
velvet.
The other has cuff of velvet extend
ing in point at lack seam to elbow, Or
namented with handsome braided pat
tern, also extending to elbow.

SONG OF CONTENT.
I wouldn't be bothered with wealth

/ wouldn't be bothered with wealth
And the care that its keeping attends,
But want what is richer-good health,
And bevy of bonny good friends.
/ choose not to grieve DER the past
What is Grief but the soul of Decay?
Let me live on Life's joys while they last
What is Life but the stretch of a day?
Away with Ambition "a dream
A shadow that shrinks with the light:
Or bubble that, born on the stream,
Lives moment, then bursts from the sight.
But give me Content-'tis a crown

And the prince and the courtier and clown.
If they wish, they may take all the rest.

Girls Who Go to Plays Alone.

The question as to the propriety of
ladies going out i'll this city to the places
of entertainments unattended by male
escorts has ceased to be a question.
They simply go when they wish to and
say nothing about whether it is proper
or not, and that is exactly what they
ought to do. A civilization which does
not insure safety and respect to women
Improvement. Not every woman who
likes concerts and theaters has male
relatives ready to escort her. New
York is full of independent. self-sup-
porting women, who like to go when
ask no mans leave or aid,
since they belong to no man.
They go in twos, threes and fours to
whatever entertainment they wish to
see, and nobody respects them any the
less. In truth, it would be sorry day
for theatrical managers when they made
their theaters less than pleasant for un-
attended women. They know very well
that the bulk of their patronage comes
from the beautiful and emotional sex,
and ladies who are in the habit of going
accompanied only by other ladies pro-
nounce in favor of that habit. Some
times they say they "don't like the care
of man." of course, when the man
acts in the capacity of conductor, it is
necessary to make him feel repaid by
the lady devoting herself to his eyes,
ears and tongue, if not heart This
'having to be agreeable'' becomes
irkSOme unless she is much interested
in the man. That is why she prefers
companion of her own sex.

now has place in every properly ap-

japanese jars are generally used. The
majority put the petals into glycerine,

The best way to make pot pourri is to
put into the receptacle nothing but the
leaves of the flowers and salt. Rose
leaves must be used for the foundation.
as no other flower will hold the flavor
of itself. Alternate the layers of rose
leaves and salt, pressing the salt down
upon the leaves. When the scent be-

flowers or leaves may be added. such as
violets, heliOtrOpe, lemon, overbena or
