Sleeves In Summer.


Sleeves are becoming an objective
point in the costume This is proba-
bly, due to the extreme tightness Of the
skirts and the desire to increase the
width of the shoulders as a counter
balance. Plain sleeves are becoming
only in perfectly formed woman, and
hence the efforts Of the mOdistes to
introduce them have failed. Among
the sleeves seen on eight imported
gowns, the first sleeve is that of an
apricot-colored satin. 1t Is cut in q
point on an epaulette of mousseline de
sole. The bottom is cut out in points
upon a putting of mousseline. There
is vine of embroidery at the top and
at the hand. The second sleeve is that
of plain cashmere gown, and is made
elegant and becoming by tucks. The
third sleeve is that of a wool challie.
1t is cut in two plaits on each side
under a rosette; the top is open upon
q plating of mousseline de sole, with
small ruches. The fourth sleeve is
that of silk poplin gown, with gui-
pure insertion and ruches of mousse
line. The fifth belongs to tailor made
gown, and the sixth is that Of mauve
wool, cut into several parts and fas-
tened down by buttons. The seventh
sleeve is that OF a gray poplinette
gown, the edges finished with ruches OF
mousseline de sole. The last sleeve,
of black satin, has the upper part COW
cred by CULTURE, which is framed by
loops of ribbon. Sleeves will in the
near future form a still more important
part of the gown than they do even
now.
As to the tight skirts, there is some
thing almost shocking about the swath-
ing lines which now so unequivocally
reveal the entire figure of fashionable
woman. She has Invested herself OF
every possible morsel of inside drapery
which it is given her to discard, and
wears her frocks meat" to quote a
big man milliner, over combinations or
long woven vests which reach to the
knee, where they are Joined by lace or
silk founces. Of course, this new
skirt, fitted as it is without single |
wrinkle over the back, when trailing a |
foot or two in length over green lawn |
or velvet pile carpet, is all very well;
but how about the half-attempted, half
version Of the country
who just misses the right
curves and grows creases in the wrong
places? Then, indeed, the drastic de-
is obvious. The new dresses
In her hands become deeds of disaster
Instead of things of beauty, and there
Is much crashing of teeth over disap-
pointed ambitions.

A Petticoat Novelty.

In these days when so much depends
upon the fit of the dress skirt around
the hips and the exact fullness around
the foot, the silk petticoat is an article
of much Importance The very latest
skirts are Gu with circular yokes and
fitted carefully and smoothly around
the figure, with no gathers at the back.
All kinds of brilliant plaid and striped
goods come for fashioning these skirts.
silk being a prime favorite, and they
are trimmed as delicately and elabo-
rately as any evening gown.
A very pretty skirt was made Of coral
pink taffeta, with large black squares
scattered through it. A deep circular
RUNE was added at the knee. This was
trimmed with double ruffie, accordion
plated and finished with a narrow
heading of shirred chiffon. Bows OF
black satin ribbon were set around the
foot of the skirt at frequent intervals.
Flounces made of alternate rows OF
ribbon and lace insertion are another
fancy, and plaitings of black and white
net trimmed with rows Of ribbon are
very effective trimming. For q very
dainty decoration plaitings OF clinton
cannot be surpassed. and in every case
ribbon is employed, this being consid-
cred very elegant feature OF the fash
ionable petticoats.

She Walks In Beauty.

0hs walks In beauty. like the night
OF cloudless climes and starry skies:
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more. one ray the less,
Had half-impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens DER her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure. how dear their dwelling
place.
And on that cheek. and DER that brow,
so soft, so calm, yet eloquent.
The smiles that win, the tints that glow.
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is Innocent!

means of clever relief and brilliant col

part history. Nobody knows the pro-

At all events, 1t is declared to be an
incident in the life of Baharam V of
the Sassanian dynasty. Baharam, ac-
cording to legend and plaque, was a
wonderful archer During one Of his
hunting expeditions, on which his IA
vorite wife had accompanied him, he
shot sleeping antelope with such pre-
cision as to Craze the animals ear.
The antelope awoke and, believing
himself annoyed by fly. put his hind
hoof to his ear to strike off the fly. A
second arrow sent by the royal hand
fixed the antelope's hoof to his horn.
The kings wife merely said. "Prac-
tice makes perfect" which touched the
pride of her royal spouse.
Indeed, as the penalty for her plain
speaking, she was sent out into the
mountains to perish, but instead found
shelter In a village. Here she lodged
in an upper room assembled by 20 steps
and, having bought calf, carried 1t
up and down every day. The king,
passing by four years later, was amaz-

The most savage specimen of the
crab species is found in Japan, seeming
to dream of nothing but fighting
delight in nothing half so much. The
minute he spies another of his kind he
scrapes his claws together in rage,
challenging him to the combat. Not q
moment is wasted in preliminaries, but
at 1t they go, hammer and tongs. 1t
sounds like two rocks grinding against
one another as their claws rattle
against the hard shells. The sand flies
as the warriors push each other hither
and thither until at last one Of them
stretches himself out In the sun, tired
to death. aL
But he does not beg for mercy or at
tempt to run away, only feebly rubbing
his claws together in defiance of the
foe. That foe comes closer, and, with
his claws trembling with Joy at his vic
tory, the conqueror catches hold Of one
claw Of the vanquished crab, twists 1t
until it comes on, and bears away the
palpitating limb as trophy Of his
prowess. Such Is q battle between
warrior crabs.

A Loving Cun.


Naturally some of the ancient city
customs are connected with the art of
dining. Gastronomy and the Guildhall
are inseparably associated One of the
most curious of these is the passing
Of the loving cup. which takes place at
all the guild dinners as well as at the
banquets Of the corporation. The cup
is two handled one with lid While
one guest is holding the lid the next
sips the spieed wine. A third, on the
other side of the drinker. stands I'D.
Then, the brim having been wiped by
a clean napkin, the cup is passed to the
guest holding the lid. He drinks in his
turn. while his next neighbor takes
charge Of the lid. In this way the cup
makes the round Of the table
This custom dates from Anglo-Saxon
times. The holding of the lid was not
then an act merely of courtesy, for the
guest who held it was thus pre- vented
from drawing his dagger and stabbing
the drinker, a playful after dinner
practice not uncommon in those times.
Meanwhile the guest who was stand
ing guarded the drinker from an as
sault from behind-Good Words.

Proposals are being entertained by
the French military authorities for a
new weapon, called the pistol saber,
which, if adopted, will be put in use
in several cavalry regiments. This is
an ordinary saber provided with a
small firearm lodged in the hilt. On
encountering resistant surface the
blade recedes and discharges the pistol,
a recoil of about tenth of an inch
being sufficient for the purpose. The
shot will, it has been ascertained, pen
citrate a steel breastplate. 1t is ex-
pected that the new weapon, which
weighs only one-third more than the
ordinary saber and which. of course,
when the pistol is not loaded, can be
employed in the usual way, will prove
very serviceable, particularly in en-
gagements between bodies of cavalry.

AL animals, even the wildcat, can be
subjected in some way to the dominion
of man and be domesticated to some
extent. Here, for instance, are two
very curious facts about cats. Many
persons, including some of our greatest
naturalists, believe that our English
domestic cat is descended from the
Egyptian domestic cat, yet all records
go to prove that the cats of Egypt liv-
ed in droves, were cared for in droves,
were fed in droves and worshiped in
droves, with the result that Egyptian
cats never got domesticated or became
half as intelligent as ours.
The like truth is suggested from In
dia, where monkeys are worshiped.
These are allowed to become nui-
sances. They are fed, and they have
any amount of liberty And what is the
consequence? They never lose their
innate savagery. The method of car
ing for them has been wrong All the
devotion and care expended on them
are practically wasted, and if we treat
ed our cats in the same fashion as the
Indians do these monkeys they would
become just as wild and undomesticat-
