There is no question but that even the
leg of mutton sleeves will soon a
away Flat sleeves are pnquestionably
coming into fashion. A dressmaker just
from Paris told me a day or two ago
that the latest creations of the best
over there show scarcely
any fullness at all in the shoulders of
the dresses. Therefore,, it is not too
much to say that another season will
see us practically back to the old style
of tight sleeves.
Just At present the most popular
sleeves is that which has a little globular
putting at the top and is plain from there
to the wrist. This putting may be pro-
vided by the sleeve itself, or by an
additional piece forming a short extra
sleeve. Another way is to have it plain,
except for a few pleats set in on the
shoulder, which style may have an epau-
lette or not as one pleases. Still another
style is cut and pleated SO as to give
the effect of a double puff across the
top of the arm, sometimes very little
fullness being used, and sometimes a
good deal the sleeve itself being loose
above the elbow.
All the sleeves mentioned may be in a
single piece, though those with a cir
eular putting are generally cut in two.
Sleeves running IN tucks across or gath
cred lengthwise in tiny puffs and mount
ed on tight-ftting Innings are very fash
ionable just now, as they suit thin fabrics
particularly we'll but there is a. decided
tendency to prefer palmer forms in the
very latest productions.
+ Dressmaksrs continue to cut sleeves
fully long. but che points coming down
over the hands are not seen SO frequent
Is as of late. Lace ruffles, however,
eSncealing a portion of the hand. are
seen on most of the smart t~oiiettes- A
very small minority of garden party
costumes worn on different occasions
lately have elbows rather wide and finish
ed with deep lace ruffles, but this sort
OF sleeve IS generally reserved for house
gowns and teagowns. l might add, toe,
that many low evening gowns have quite
long sleeves.
Jacket and coat sleeves will, of course,
be diminished in width as gown sleeves
grow smaller, but to accommodate the
inside sleeve a certain amount of breadth
at the top is necessity Therefore, the
new coats ana jackets which We viii
begin to think OF presently will continue
to be mounted in plelts. though shallow

Anotaer thing is certain, and we may
as wei make up our Iainds to it-bustles
are coming into vogue again..
Not the monstrosity Of which some of
US were. guilty a few-years ago, but a
modern attain which will really be quite
acceptable. TIL best of the new style
bustles is made in sections; that is, the
hip pieces are cut and padded to fit the
natural figure.
There is many a girl who is disposed to
dread summer as a season when old Sol is
permitted to feed at will upon her couate-
nance, TO the undoing OF the prettiest COM
plexien; and, naturally enough, as it is
the time of outdoor ife-of boating, of lin
gering near ii not actually in the salt sea
wave, and of INDUCING in all those pleas
Ures that unite in the creation of the I'M
coveted freckle. A pleasing tan which
produces the effect OF an even coat OF
ockre brushed over the face and throat,
can be endured with a moderate degree of
resignation. Sunburn. though unbecoming
and painful, has the earning advantage
Of being only temporary. But the freckle.
in all its notified profusien, gives its us
ual.y sensitive possessor the feeling of
being an zeyesores says H2rper's Bazaar
Now. whatever may be said about only
the wslitest skins freckling, it is no con-
ISOLATION to the white-skinned ones to mo-
tice after every exposure TO the forcing
summer light thai their faces are growing
to look more like some goods of bizarre
polka dot pattern.
In preparation for the campaign against
the tawny freckle, as we'll as against the
less enduring disfsurements of the warm
season, loads of ammunition in the form
of b~ieacIles and lotions and whitewashy
mixtures are carried to mountain and sea-
shore and country each year. There are,
however, many women and girls who
would rather ndure the affections that
heset the complexion, from exposure than
make a sort of salad of the countenance
at night by the application of oils and
vlnegars, and, as they consider them, kim
dred unclean mixtures.
But really there is no reason to chal-
lenge the sun TO do his worst to ones
milky skin when there is means of pre-
venting the %unsightly results a means,
so simple and cleanly and reliable that
not one of the fair sex who wishes to
preserve her complexion need hesitate to
make use of it. And then the receipt pos
sesses the saving grace of arousing no
trembling uncertainty as to the poisonous
character of the things that enter into the
composition of the wash.
The preparation of the beneficial wash
Is simplicity itself, and the Ingredients
purchasable anywhere at very reasonable
cost. If a half pound of olive oil soap pure

ore gallon of boiling water then, after
It has cooled, one quart of the best alco-
hol and one ounce of oil of rosemary be
stirred in, the result will be as admirable

lection agaist tine suns blemfshes as any
woman can desire. And not only in sum
mer, but at all times can it be used with
benefit. The best method of applying is
to moisten a wash cloth with the liquid
after the customary morning bath, and
to rub thoroughly over the face and hands
and any parts that need the treatment
