Olympic Goddesses In Balloon Sleeves.
Suitability of Fashions.
While the rumors of smaller sleeves were
really rumors they were of little conse-
quence, but now that the best Partisan
modistes are modifying the amplitude to
an appreciable extent matters begin to look
serious. There has been great deal of
ridicule expended upon the immense
sleeves that have been universal for a
year SO, but no more than was drawn
out by tight sleeves, jerseys, bustles, big
hats, little bonnets, high heeled shoes,
common sense Shoes and, in fact, every
fad or fancy that has ever prevailed
in general attire. But big sleeves have
had their advantages and when they are
finally extinct men will wonder why wom-
en- seem to have such large waists and
narrow shoulders. Bouffant arm cover
ings have the unique quality of being be-
coming to both too fat and too slender
women. They made the waist of the
stout woman look smaller and the shout
ders of the slender one look wider. When
they go, they will be regretted by that
large number of women who would rather
look pretty than appear classicaIly correct,
if they cannot do both, which few persons
can. 1t is all very we'll to say that the
Venus of Melos would look out of place in

Dainty Perfume.
The modern woman has taken to
burning incense at her own shrine. The
latest thing in jeweled smelling-bot-

from milady's chatelaine and when
lighted diffuses delicate perfume and
tiny cloud of incense.

a very elegant young woman in a tailor
made gown and a fetching millinery
getup produced her whilom smelling
salts at the most affecting moment OF

the cover and a fine streak of circumam-
bient vapor curled softly up and stole
athwart the rootlights, there was a

There was a corresponding hole in his

MAKING OVER Skirts.
An Enectua1 Remedy for One That Is
Good But Too Short. ~

LIS
Good But Too Short. -
One of the trying things a careful
woman has to undergo is the accumu-
lation of skirts whose bindings about
the hem are muddied and frayed. The
old binding may be ripped or and a
new one put in place, and the skirt
neatly prepared for more wear. But
there comes time when the skirt will
be entirely too short should another
binding be attempted, but the skirt is
a nice one. a little soiled, perhaps, but
too short for mending. If the goods is
black, SO much the better, as good black
always makes over to greater salts
faction than colors. Rip it carefully
apart, take the stiffening out and wash
the goods nicely. When dry enough
press it smooth and free of wrinkles,
and put in a new interGning of stiffen
ing. About the hem put another piece
of black goods to make what is lacking
in length. This should be bias. To
cover the seam four little folds of black
silk are put on, one just above the other
very much after the fashion of mil
liners folds. If the skirt is still too
short and fits smoothly over the hips,
a yoke may be fitted very neatly; a
pointed yoke of the silk folded like the
bottom trimming, and above that
In Topped bow at the back of the belt
and yoke will make the garment the
desired length and add smart finish.

Proportion and symmetry.

What is a weIl-proportioned waist?
Lady Haberton- says: THE true pro-
portion is q difference of ten inches be-
tween the circumference of the bust
eGd that of the waist. Thus woman
whose bust measures SO inches should
have waist measuring 20 inches. Bust
- inches, waist 80 inches, and SO on.
7 cry few corsets are made in this pro-
portion, and if they were, still fewe~
people would buy them, as fashion dc
crces that the waist should measure
from IL to Is inches less than. the bust"
IN the course of time, women may CONG
20 realize that true artistic effect is
only attained by a proper respect for
TzopCrtion and symmetry. Plenty ac
knowledge this truism in most things

SAN Francisco, Feb 26.-A we'll dress
ed man 40 years of age, who is known by
the names of Edward Thompson, Charles
Gordon and Addison Mills, is under arrest
in this city on a charge of giving
two worthless gold bricks to M. q.
Richie, Napa county vineyardisl,
security for a loan of $4,000. Mills
paved the way for the loan by telling
fairy story of the fabulous fortune that
could be obtained by developing
d rich mine discovered by an In
dian. He was assisted by
versatile confederate who posed
first as an Indian prospector and later
as an assayer from the Philadelphia
mint. Two gold bricks furnished by the
Indian were later examined by the Same
nun in his capacity an assayer, and
declared to be worth $4,000. On the
strength of the supposed assayer, Richie
gave Mills $1,000 in gold, and received
