NEW YORK, August H.-There Is no
question but that the balloon and even
the leg Of mutton sleeves will fade away.
Flat sleeves are unquestionably coming
into fashion. A modiste just from Paris
told me a day or two ago that the latest
creations Of the best dressmakers over
there show scarcely any fulness at all
I'm the shoulders OF the dresses. There
fore. 1t is not too much to say that an
other season will see us practically back
10 the old style OF tight sleeves.
Just at present the most popular sleeve
Is that which has a little globular puff-
ing at the top, and is plain from there
90 the wrist. This putting may be pro-
Vided by the sleeve itself or by an adj
ditional piece forming short extra
sleeve. Another way is 10 have 1t plain
except for a few pleats set in on the
shoulder. which style may have an epau-
iette or not. as one pleases. Sil an

Tie programme for the evening waa
appropriately selected and happily ess-

INFANTS CLOTHING.

Many Excellent Reform Designs
Have Been Exhibited Recently.
A great many designs have been
brought before the world of mothers
for infants clothing. Several of these
deserve full approval, as from ahygienic
point of view they possess double the
value OF the old-fashioned patterns
Particularly is this reformation to be
commended in the exclusion of the linen
day shirt for the vest of finest hand
knitted or woven wool. The former tiny
garment is no doubt pretty and dainty
in appearance, but its comfort is much
to be questioned. The woven vest may
be described as an ideal shirt, as it con-
tains the minimum of weight with the
maximum of warmth. Its silky smooth
ness is comfortable to the tender skin,
and it never falls into the chafng rucls
and wrinkles of its linen companion.
The design for the long flannel is a
thoroughly comfortable one. 1t is made
with~a little straight bodice cut from
one piece of flannel and nicely orna-,
mented with trellis work of fine coral
stitching worked in white working silk,
which stitching also is carried around
the rest of the bodice, giving pretty

HOW TO POLISH SILVER.

Dear friends, tale I'll tell Cthough per-
haps you know it welD,
How to polish up the silver TIL 1t shines
Without labor when you're tired house;
keeper or help that's hired,
Will tell you all about IT in these lines.
Peel potatoes three or four-theugh Il
small you might peel more
Bell them just about three-auRrtars Of an
hour;
While they're boiling add some salt, or the
whole will be in fault,
And your temper turned from sweet to
awful sour.
Take a tarnished silver mug, spe9n or
sugar bowl, or jug,
Put them in and let them bell q little
while;
When you take them out youth find that
the tarnish stayed behind,
And their brightness, I am sure, VIII

Perfect Fitting eff q Gown Requires

Perfect Fitting eff q Gown Requires
Careful Thought and Study.
The day has come when dressma1lers
can and do hook upon their calling a.
a profession that commands respect
They are now rightfully termed art
lists, and are just as much entitled to
the name of artist as the men and wom-
en- who create lifehke statues from
marble, or who with pencil and colors
reproduce nature with master strokes,
providing she does the work consider
tiously, with careful thought and
study, with always a regard for the
eternal fitness of things
No class OF women anywhere has ac-
complished as much and made as much
progress with 50 little help as have the
dressmakers. Artists, doctors, law
yers and people in all professions have
recourse to libraries whose shelves are
filed with books containing valuable
Information and assistance in their
line, but there is q curious dearth of
literature on subjects useful to either
the professional or amateur dress
maker
While we have many American and
foreign fashion journals sufficiently
versatile and fetching in their styles of
fabric and details of cut in dress, there
Is nothing to tell how to cut. fit, haste
and sew, or the why's and wherefOres of
doing certain things in certain ways
to obtain the best results. Dressmak-
ers are prone TO selfshness. and keep
good points they may discover in their
line to themselves, while in other pro-
LESSONS more Iiberality is shown in this
particular, and new ideas are Published
and spread broadcast for the good of a1s
interested in the same line of thought
and study. Until this narfOw-minded-
ness is overcome, and dressmakers be-
come more altruistic, they will labor -
a disadvantage.
Many women who have talent for
creating handsome, stylish and WELL
fitting gowns are denied the opportu>
nifty of showing their ability in this
line, all for the want of opportunity to
educate their propensities. and friend
ly, sympathetic hand Of encourage
ment from those whose knowledge is
sufficient to lead the less fortunate.
Dressmaking. when not properly I'M
derstood, means the hardest and most
wearing drudgery in which a woman
can engage. But, properly studied,
and practiced accordingly. it Is made
comparatively easy and very remu-
nerative.-Mary K. Howard, in WOuls

NEAT FLOWER STAND.

The flower stand which our illustra-

tages ofastationary window-shelfa and a
portable flower stand. The space of the
bay window is nearly all left vacant for
other furniture, such as sewing-mn-
chine, sewing~chair, etc When ex-
trennely cold spells make it necessary
to move the plants to warmer quarters

easily done by taking hold of the two
wings, lifting them slightly from the
floor and drawing the whole, wheel
