The most notable change in fashion
is that of the sleeve; the fullness of
year or two is to be transferred from
the upper to the lower part of the
sleeve. Pulled sleeves, with the puff at
the elbow or the shoulder, are frequent
~ worn, but these are not so novel or
so pretty as those cut very wide at or
little below the elbow and showing
underneath a pulled sleeve of white or
of some contrasting material These
bloused sleeves are very comfortable,
and the snowy whiteness of the lace or
muslin undersleeves gives a touch of
chic and brightness to an otherwise
monotonous costume. The lace under
sleeves are full and plain, but those of
chiffon or fine white muslin are both
tucked and plated. The dressmakers
are designing some very eccentric
sleeves on the new order, but it is not
probable these will be worn until fall.
Graceful scarf draperies are features

The Duchess of Connaught, who is
one of the most stylish of English roy
alties, has just had a very handsome
summer bodice completed It is made
with plain, seamless back, which, be-
low the waist, is rounded off and Joined
by single side piece. In the front the
bodice fits smoothly over a darted lin
ing and is pointed in front. The silk
vest is tucked from collar to waist,
where it tapers to a narrowness that
gives the appearance of slenderness to
a very matronly waist. Three bands of
velvet trim the waist and are united in
front by a jeweled ornament The
tucked collar is also trimmed with
bands of velvet. Underneath the up
right collar is applied wide. rolling
collar, finished with a chiffon ruching.
The sleeve is tight fitting and supplied
with an upper and under portion.

Banana Cream.-Scald the pulp of
several bananas and pass through a
sieve, after which add sugar and lemon
juice to the mixture. Set this in a pan

Enameled saucepans soon become dis
colored inside unless they are kept with
scrupulous care. An easy way of re-
moving stains is to put small quantity
of chloride of lime into the pan and fiji
it up with cold water and let it remain
on the stove where the heat is moderate
for several hours. The pan should then
be scrubbed and thoroughly rinsed and
placed on the rack over the stove.
When dry, it will be found perfectly
white and free from stains. Scattering
chloride OF lime over a sink will cleanse
it with even less trouble than is re-
CURED for a saucepan The lime should
be spread rather tlickly over the sink

brush and flush the sink with water.

New Cycling Costumes.

The leading idea in the newest cy-
cling costume is that skirt and bodice
should be of different materials. As to
the stuffs used, almost any of the thin
summer cloths are suitable. Sometimes
a checked skirt is worn with a bodice of
plain cloth. This is a costume that was.
of course, much worn last year, but not
by cyclists. To wheelwomen it is some
what of a novelty. A pretty cycling
dress carried out in this way consists
of a skirt, closely stitched round the
hem, of checked brown cloth and an
open fronted short coat of nut brown
cloth trimmed with stitching. The
reVers collar and cuffs are faced with
white cloth, almost entirely covered
with fine brown fancy braid. The coat
can be worn closed If preferred. shirt
of soft, white washing silk and a rustic
straw toque are suitable accompaM-
ments. A skirt which answers for ell
Their walking or cycling purposes is
slightly draped or raised by tabs at the
hips.
Cycling skirts are rather wider than
of yore and are mostly finished round
the hem with stitching. In choosing
cycling costume 1t is advisable to con-
slider material that does not readily
show dust and one that. though tolera-
bly, substantial is light wearing. Ex-
cept for the stitching alluded to, cycling
skirts are untrimmed. 1t is rather
good plan to line up the skirt for cou-
pie of inches or so with leather, which
can easily be washed and sponged free
of dirt. A neat little cycling bodice fits
tightly and is fastened over slightly on
the left side with buttons similar to
those which are used on the skirt front.

wine, the thinIy pared rind of half 3
lemon, the cloves and sugar. Let all
simmer very gently till the fruit is
quite tender. Let it get cold; then take
out the cloves and lemon rind. It is
then ready for use.
Date Pudding.-Take six stale sponge
cakes, four ounces of dates, one and a
half ounces of sugar, the grated ripd
of one lemon, two eggs and milk enough
to moisten the cakes. Stone the dates
and cut them into thin strips. Beat up
the cakes with a fork, add the dates
and lemon rind and the eggs well beat

the mixture. Bake in moderate oven

RRoMNINGs INSTINCT

Robert Browning used to tell a story
which illustrated with startling effect his
constituencies to outword impressions. 1t
was an incident which occurred in a re-
mote section of France where he used
to spend his holidays.
He had taken a stroll toward sunset
with his sister, relates the Youths Com
panion, and had reached the crest of a
hill which commanded a broad prospect.
1t was lovely summer afternoon, and
the landscape, with It's soft and mellow
tints enveloped with yellow haze, was a
dream of peace and tranquility.
Gould there be anything more rest
full than this scene?" the poet exclaim-
ed. 1.-THE whole world seems at peace -
What 1t was that impelled him to do
it, the poet could not afterward explain.
for strong contrasting effect; but he
caught his sisters hand and pointing di-
rectly down the valley below, added:
DO you see that potato patch there?
What would you say if there were a
man lying there at this moment who
had been foully murdered?"
His sister smiled grimly over the sud
denness of the conceit and they strolIed
homeward
The strangest part of the story remains
to be told. There was a man lying muir
dered in the potato patch at the moment
when Mr.. Browning pointed toward it
The body was found within few hours
and not long afterward the murderer
was arrested and convicted.
The poets sensitiveness to contrasting
effects in nature and life had enabled
hi munconsciously TO play the part Of
detective.

LEWIS ACADEMY NOTES.

In spite of rain and storm the work in
all departments of Lewis academy has
fully satisfied all interested.
Overshoes, umbrellas and raincoats
have been in constant demand while there
have not been as many wheels" visible
as usual.
The work of drill for the various June
contests keeps Professor Scott constantly
and continuously in demand
The Thursday morning rhetoricals are
better and better as the weeks ron by.
Flowers, more flowers, is the cry heard
from the botanical laboratory.
Anxious eyes are peering into every
nook and crany for some new flower or
plant to be mercilessly required to sur
render itself to critical inspection. While
the botanists are culling flowers, the
students OF language in all departments
are now humble and quiet, but are just
as earnest in searching for Roots"
The chorus class had rest this week
during Professor Marshall's absence at
the Hutchinson jubilee, but will hail him
as a leader of known worth at the next
recitation.
The primary grades were so eager to
attend all their recitations that the
teachers had some trouble in prevailing
on those who came with wet feet and
damp clothing to cease from work long
enough to properly care for their health.
Inquiries and calls for catalogues for
next year are being made frequently by
patrons. Let the good work go on.

Stories of Authors
Anecdotes of
Literary Men,

MAURUS JOKAI AT SEVENTY FIVE
Maurus Jokai belongs to the company
of the elder Dumas and Sienkiewicz, al
most rivaling the former in the number
of his books, says the New York Mail
and Express. He is now seyenty-five
years old, but as young in mind as ever.
His fame did not spread to this country
until few years ago, though his novels
had been translated into nearly all the
tongues Of continental Europe for years,
and read with enthusiasm, The most re-
markable feature of hi sstories is the
evenness of thir quality, no matter
which one the reader takes up, he is
sure to be greatly entertained in royal
fashion by man Of inexhaustabie i'm
agination, who, in addition, has the adj
vantage Of an equally rich fund of ex-
perfence- A patriot and a revolutionary,
prescribed by the Austrian Government,
he saw war, exile, and the dangers of a
hiding place within the forbidden lines
His first marriage was a romance amid
the alarms of strife. He married a sec
ond time last year, at the age Of sew
enty-four.
