THE SEATTLE PosTNTEIuGENcER SUNDAY JANUARY II 1892

and pale blue satin point is turned back
over the cuff and is caught in place with a
large white pearl button. The sleeves of
certain tweed dress, which has been very
much admired. are trimmed from the elbow
to the wrist with bands of braid, and the
braid is fastened bysyelvet buttons
None of the new cloth dresses have per-
fectiy plain sleeves; and if one may be
permitted TO judge OF whole dress by
single sleeve one may say that Just in pro-
portion TO the elegance of the dress are
the sleeves made more and more fancifuI.
For evening wear very grotesque eff
fects are produced. They are beauti-
fully grotesaue, however. and are de-
cidedly picturesque In their peculiarities.
1t is the aim to have the effect classic, and
woman with handsome neck and shout
ders has every opportunity TO make a real
picture of herself If she chooses TO dress
with little taste.
One of the most beautiful of the sleeves
of these picturesque evening gowns has a
broad band of braiding or passementerie,
which extends over the top OF the shoulder.
The shoulder is then left bare to be covered
a little lower down with another band of
the passementerie put on IN broader fash
ion. so as 20 form the top OF short puff
sleeve Elbow gloves are worn with this
sleeve and the erect Is prettler than can
be described.
Another evening gown has a shoulder
puff put on in epaulette fashion, so as TO
initiate lamp shade. 1t Is made of silk,
and the silk is tied with cord, leaving a
slight puff at the top, which is gathered
on TO the shoulder. The silk is then laid
upon the sleeve in narrow plaitings, and
is pulled in double putting to
the elbow Still another style, which
is still more classic, has an epau-
Iette of passementerie which stands
out upon the shoulder, setting off the
whiteness of the skin in beautiful effect.
A very heavy putting of chiffon extends
from under the epaulette and makes a
short shoulder sleeve.
An infinite variety of these fancy sleeves
is possible and. by the exercise of little
skill and artistic taste, a woman can man
age to hide her defects and bring out her
good points, so that she is thing of
beauty in her evening gown, even if she is
not so in her street dress.
Our grandmothers, who were the proud
and happy owners of only one silk gown
and who considered themselves fortunate
to have such possession would be
amazed beyond expression if they could
know the recklass extravaganza with
which we In our day use the precious
silk. All the new gowns are
lined with silk or satin. Satin
mervellieu is of fine, firm yet heavy
texture which adapts itself beautifully
for dress lining, and, therefore, il is of
satin merveilieu that the newest dress
Innings are made. One must take very
good care to get quality OF silk for lining
which will not crock or cut; or otherwise
there will be the unpleasantness of finding
a lining all cut and worn when the out
side of the dress is still as good as new.
The same thing holds true of skirt
Innings. No skirt hangs as well as the one

has more than one double. Willie Van
derbilt met her at a ball given by Mrs.
Elliott +. Shepard. She is now 80 years
old, but hardly looks %. She has a simple
figure of medium height. Her eyes are
soft hazel and her hair dark brown. Her
complexion is cream white. More than
one OF her doubles has written to her in
closing photographs, and one who en-
joyed the name of Smith-so unusual.
you know-actually claimed relationship.
Miss Marie Kissam one of Philadelpnia's
upper ten, is said to be her handsomest
double. She often comes 10 New York,
and she is on Mrs. Vanderbilt's calling
list. There is cloak model, too. en-
ployed by big Broadway house on the
strength of her resemblance TO Mrs Van
derbilt, and she is said to be worth a hun
dred times her salary annually to the firm.
Mrs. Chauncey NJ. Depew tells the
story herself of meeting her own double
in a Fifth avenue store The double was
the head of a department, and appar-
emily did not know how nature
had favored her, for she and Mrs.
Depew were equally astonished when
they met face TO face. Mrs. Depew
has other doubles besides. One is the wife
of Professor Watts. of the scientific school
of Yale college. Mrs. Depew is 40 years
old. of medium height, with well-rounded
figure. She has tine carriage which i'm
parts dignity to her appearance. Photo
graphs do no justice to her, for the charm
of her face is largely in its sweetness and
expression. Her soft brown hair is worn
in curls high on her forehead and head.
Her eyebrows curve beautifully and long
lashes shade her brown eyes.
Mrs. James q. Blaine has had many
doubles, too. One of the closest IS a school
friend Mrs. Thomas Finley, of Chicago.
Mrs. Harrison, since she became Mrs.
President. has had them, too. A head
typewriter in the census bureau is said
to be one of them.

IL really seems as if women's hands and
arms are claiming more attention than
thew had ever done before. In sleeves one
sees fancifui and almost startling designs
in cut and make and trimming.

Eye Measurements

A good eye is an almost essential re-
quisite in a good mechanic. No one
can ever attain distinction as me-
chanit unless he is able to detect ordi-
nary imperfections at sight. so that he
can see If things are out of plumb, out
of level, out of square and out of proper
shape. and unless he can also detect
disproportioned patterns. This is a
great mechanical attainment and one
which can be readily attained by apy
ordinary person. OF course there are
defective eyes as there are other de-
fective organs. The speech, for in.
stance, is sometimes defective but the
eve is susceptible of the same training
as any organ. The muscles, the voice,
the sense of hearing, all require train
ing. Consider how the artist must
train the organ of sight in order to de-,
tect the slightest imperfection in shade,
color, proportion, shape, expression,
etc. Not one blacksmith in five ever
attains the art of hammerlng square,
vet it is very essential in his occupa-
ton. 1t is simply because he allows
himself to get into careless habits A
little training and care are all that IL
necessary for esa.-Manufacturers

A HORRIBLE DISCOVERY.

what Curious Nefghbors Found In House
Near Manchester. EnSland-A Terrible
Crime of a Husband who Lost His Nerve
and Fled.
LONDON. Oct 20.-A horrible affair
has come to light at Oldham. near Man
chester. A man named Mellor lived IN
a house in the Hoilins road at that
place. His wife has been missing for
some time, but apparently nothing
has been seriously suspected. Some
neIghbors. paying an unexpect-
ed visit to Mellor's house,
noticed that hole had been dug in the
kitchen, having every appearance of
having been intended as grave for
somebody. They informed the police,
who at once proceeded to the house.
The police made a search. and soon
was thought to be that of Mel
!or's wife. Her throat had been cut
and the body was covered with stab
wounds, showing that she had met a
cruel death by violence. The remains
were in such a condition that it APP
peared the woman had been dead for
weeks. A barrel of quicklime was
found in another room. no doubt in
tended for use in the grave. Mellor has
been put under arrest.
1t appears that the Nellor house had
been closed for weeks, a circumstance
which excited the majority of the
neighbors. Several of them entered
the back yard, and peeped into the
kitchen window. There they saw that
the stones forming the floor We're
heaped in corner. and that a large
grave had been dug. They at
once carried the news to the
police, who forced an entrance to
the house and found the corpse of Mrs.
Mellor in a pantry under the staircase.
The body was lying on a rough rug.
and was naked, except that the lower
limbs had some undergarments on.
The remains were decomposed and it
was apparent that Mellor, after pro-
ceeding to certain extent in prepare
tons for concealing the crime. had lost
the nerve TO finish the job. and aban.
Toned the house.
