Long Sleeves of shirred Chiffor.

The girl with thin arms will rejoice
In the gown which has long sleeves of
shirred chiffon. They are stylish,
pretty in every detail and immensely
becoming to a slender arm, while,
alas, they must be abjured by the
woman of embonpoint, as they make
her arms look altogether too muscular.
Crepon of fine weave can be shirred
almost as wella as chiffon or sheer sllken
tissues. a slender young girl has the
upper part of her skirt shlrred tight
down to the lining. This is really a
deep yoke over the hips, and the full
ness is all below the yoke. This looks
very stylish with the long sleeves of
shirred chiffon or crepon. This model
is recommended for an evening dress
for early September or October. We
have enjoyed wearing our elbow
sleeyed bodice In the hot, hot summer
months, but the cooler evenings are at
hand. A long-sleeved gown is espe-
cially useful at hotel at summer re-
sort. If your sleevs are long you can
step out Of the corridor or Off the
perch and enjoy the evening air, even
if it be rather fresh, or salt. With ell
bow sleeves you would probably re-
quire wrap which would hide the eff
fectiye bodice.

Big Mining Contract.

The largest contract ever let by o
mining company in the state Of Colo
RADIO for the delivery Of ore to reduc-
ton works or smelters was made last
week when Dudley NJ. Gray Of Grip
pie Creek closed a contract with the
Independence mine management for
the delivery of 200 tons of ore per day
from that mine continuously for n pc
riGd of five years. The work OF break
ing ore at the mine for transfer under
the terms of the contract agreement
with the reduction firm has been be-
gun. Outside of the immense magni-
tude of the contract in the matter of
the ore tonnage which it involves for
the whole period stated, it also repre-
Sents the greatest amount of value in
ore production for any like period of
tine which has ever been made from
any exclusively gold-producing claim
containing the same amount of pro-
ductive territory within its prescribed
limits.

She fixed over her own ancient black
bonnet during the temporary absence
of her daughter. She smiled to her
self when she was alone. Once. in
deed, they even heard her singing.
That don't sound like hymn tune,

piciously.
It's The Banks and Braes O. Bon

They made their escape while the
youngest scion of the house of Malone
was being put to bed upstairs. Down
through the dusk, between the rows of
struggling gooseberry bushes that
caught at her gown, out into the path
around the wheat field skirting the
corn, grandma skurried like a little
gray rabbit. And there. on the high
road was Billie waiting for her-Billie,
kindly, encouraging, swelling with the
importance of the adventure. How he
did strive to restrain her impetuosity.
How he did explain that they had lots
of time. that the seats were already
secured that she would be tired out
before she got there. But neither
speech nor movement was to be regard
ed in the exhilaration of that delicious
experience. How sweet the green things
smelled with the dew on them!
All, never would the memory of that
night fade-that "witching, wonderful
night" The entrance into the lively
town, the sight of the domed canvas
tent, the hurrying crowds of pleasure
seekers, the lighted shops, the smell of
the sawdust, the glimpse of tired faces,
the torches, the music-best of all, O,
incomparabiy best Of all-the circus it.

so witty a clown break his bones on
collapsable barrels, and set the benches
in a roar! No such agile acrobats ever
balanced ladders and dangled from tra-
pezes. No such lovely ladies ever
poised and pirouetted on bareback
horses. No such stately Amazon ever
lashed her steeds to victory. And all
the rest merged for Billie into one eX-
quisite glow that was almost pain
pain and rapture-when he beheld:
Upon a milk-white pony,
Fit for fairy queen,
The loveliest little damsel
His eyes had ever seen!
It was over. They had enjoyed II all.
They had seen the animals-every one.
They had eaten popcorn, and drank
lemonade, and munched peanuts. And
now they were plodding back to the
farm along the road that stretched
ahead lik a ribbon of amber velvet.
Neither spoke. Their hearts were toe
full-hers with memories, his with i'm
aginings. They were as Daudet repre-
sents Parisians after the Salon: "Sa-
tiated, but not weary, still thrilled by
that air charged with artistic cleo
tricity." They made no mention OF
the morrow. Not even reproach then
could wrest this experience from them
Are you tired, grandma? Rest on

be tired tonight. I've had beau-ti-

The night was magical. The sleep

A curious instance of the exploits
of the Chinese secret societies is fur
nished by a European who is familiar
with the country. China, he says, Is
honeycombed with secret societies. 1t
Is practically the exception for a
Chinaman not to belong 10 one of
these associations, not all of which,
however, are intended to serve such
mischievous ends as those aimed at by
the Boxers. Many of the societies are
comparatively harmless, and much re-
semble the guilds Of mediaeVal Eu-
rope. Almost every trade and calling
has its secret society. The occult
power welded by these bodies is eX-
perienced by residents In China in
connection with their domestic serv-
ants. The beplgtailed cooks and
buffers are adopts in the art of lining
their pockets at their masters ex-
pense, their favorite practice being to
overcharge their employers in con-
nivance with the tradesmen. The trou-

Foreigners.

BILE is that there is nothing for 1t but
to pay this tax with resignation. 1t
Is useless to discharge a servant who
habitually makes you pay more than
the market price for your meat vege-
tables and other supplies. His secret
society knows to a cent the amount
of the squeeze" in which you have
been squeeze" being the
suggestive pigeon-English expression
for the illegitimate profits in question.
The new servant Is informed by the
society of the squeeze" extracted by
his predecessor, and with impertur-
bable impudence he will continue to
levy precisely the same toll. In the
unlikely event of his having leanings
toward honesty. the servants secret
society would wreak dire vengeance
on him for his treachery to his order.
The amount Of the squeeze" varies
with each employer. 1t is regulated
in the main by the extortion submitted
to by the resident on his arrival in
the country.

Wide Ends to ourLonr sashes.

Have you noticed how long and also
how wide are the ends of the sash rib
bons when worn at the back? The
ends reach almost to the hem of the
skirt. When made of ribbon, of course,
the width is the same at the top, mid
die or at the end. But where the sash
is made of silk or liberty satin or other
shining material, it often happens that
the ends are decidedly wider and more
important than above. This is a mil
liners achievement, to make the sash
look the same length, for ut the foot
Of the skirt, being further away, it
