Sleeves That Mako Thin Ones Look
Plump.
In the case of a slim arm the circular
trimming is the best, as it tends to add
to b apparent size, while n too plump
arm may be made more slender by the
upright trimmings
A fayorite sleeve for the plain cloth
gown, which admits of little garniture,
has the arm fitted quite snugly almost
TO the shoulder, narrowing down to alb
solute tightness at the wrist, where it
spreads over the hand in two deep
points. The only fullness of the sleeve
puffs out at the shoulder, smartly-not
at all in q dropping way, but aggres-
sively stiff, as if making up for the lack
of quantity. Often this style of sleeve
is made up in velvet for a cloth gown,
and finished at the wrist by a soft frill
of yellow lace. A far more dressy
sleeve is shown in a style suitable for a
handsome dinner or reception gown,
where moro or less e~laborateness is
employed. Over a tight lining of silk
is puckered thin mousseline de sole in
black or white from the puff which tops
the shoulder to the frill finishing the
wrist. The puff is made of dress ma
terial, and is made TO stand out as
stiffly as possible, finished oddly by a
huge loop and long ends of the silk
stuff caught at the top of the shoulder
by a fancy button and allowed to fiutter
away at the back. Twists of velvet,
fastened with fancy buttons, finish the
bottom of the shoulder puff and the
wrist.-San Francisco Chronicle.

The evidence was ~indisputable.
Smithkins had killed the chambermaid
who took charge of his room in the
big bachelor apartment house where he
lived. The deed was done in the heat
of anger, it is true, yet when it was all
over and Smithkins felt the cold clasp
Of the iron bracelets upon his wrists he
seemed to be as one who had found
peace and joy.
The judge turned to Smithkins in n
p%erfunctory way and asked if he de-
sired to take the stand in his own be-
half. The jury yawned wearily. A man
accused of murder too often sounds his
own d%eath-knell when he takes the
stand in his own behalf. The court and
spectators felt that Smithkins' doom
was sealed.
"My name is Algernon Smithkins,"
began the prisoner, land what I have to
say is merely a confession. l make no

IND OF THE CHESAPEAKE,
The Old Man-Of-war Turned Into n Flour

The Old Man-of-War Turned Into n Flour
Mill.
An English journal contains the fol
lowing item:
Hlt is not by any means widely known
that the Chesapeake, famous for her
historic encounter with the British
ship Channon in 1913, is in existence to-
day, but is used in the somewhat in.
glorious capacity of a -four mill, and Is
making money for a hearty Hampshire
miller in the little parish of Wickham.
After her capture by Sir Philip b. V.
Broke she was taken to England in
1914, and in 1920 her timbers were sold
to Mr., John Prior, miller, of Wickham
Hants. Mr.. Prior pulled down his own
mill at Wickham and erected a new onp
from the Chesapeake timbers, which he
found admirably adapted for the pur-
pose. The deck beams were 30 feet
long, and served, without alteration,
for joists. Many of these timbers yet
bear the marks of the Shannon grape
shot, and in some places the shot are
still to be seen deeply imbedded in the
pitch pine. The metamorphosis of n
man-of-war into a peaceful life-sustain-
ing Hour mill is, perhaps. as near an APP
proach to the prophecy that spears II
swords shall he eaten into plows and
pruning hooks, as the conditions of
modern civilization will allow"

"You would not believe that I was

said a very robust-lookipg woman at

winters, and when | started in on it for
the fifth the doctors said there was no
hope for me unless l succeeded in get
ting the better of it al once. l was
young and gay, and very far from want
ing to die, so L set myself to work and
by lint of persevering unremittingly III
two simple remedies | gained the vic
tory, and l would advise some of you
who are suffering from cold and coughs
to try at least the simpler of these two
cures. The first requires such con-
stancy of purpose that 1 am sure no one
would keep it up unless pretty far
gone, though it is nothing more than a
daily sun bath. All that winter long,
every day that the sun shone found me
sitting, stripped to the waist, for two
hours in the morning sunshine, Some
times my back was almost blistered,
but l knew that the warm rays We're
bringing me back to health and happi-
ness, SO I never C yielded to my in
clination to skip a day.
"The other remedy was mullen strip.

many cases of chronic coughs.

Care of Flour.

Flour should be kept with the great
est care, as it takes on the odor of things
about it, and becomes tainted almost as
easily as do milk and butter. As it also
becomes heavy and mouldy in a damp
place, it should be kept where weather
changes will not affect it. The lightness
and dryness of the flour of curse has a
