THE SLEEVE ORNAMENTAL.
Rich Laces to Be Worn This sumner.
with Many Jewelea Orr
naments.


The sleeve beautiful in these days is
also the sleeve ornamental, and with.
out exaggeration it is safe to say-that
no weIl-considered sleeve is lacking in
more or less liberal garnishment of
lace, says fashion authority.
AT the glove counters lace glove
sleeves are sold measuring all the way
from ten to twenty-five buttons in
length. They are no more than lace
mittens with thumb strap or socket,
and intended for use on occasions
when it is desired to transform a
short-sleeyed evening body into long
sleeved one. The actual arm covering
of the dress itself is arranged
with an open puff% and pearl
clasps to pretty well cover the
top OF the arm, from which at
the rear falls a filmy wing of lace.
Worn thus the costume is quite cor
rect, and it is also correct to draw a
2O-button cream point lace glove clear
up under the silken puff, fasten it
there and thereby in IS minutes gain
the effect of long-sleeyed body.
There is, however, no embargo
placed on the kind or color of lace util-
lied in sleeve composition, and it is
permitted to let the Imagination run
riot through history and romance and
copy any type of graceful lace sleeve
that may catch the fancy. Enormous
Louis XIII. and Henry ". sleeves are
highly popular; the full under portion
being made of lace that is heavy and
usually lined with colored chiffon,
while the cloth or silk portion is
slashed open up to the outer seam and
then fastened at intervals with jewel
clasped bows of velvet. Such designs
cater to the fancy of tea-gown and
coffee-jacket wearing women, or ap
pear to very elegant advantage on gay
easy house waists and on voluminous
evening wraps.
With prompt recognition of feminine
wants and fashion tendencies, the
manufacturers have put forth series
of charming jeweled sleeve ornaments,
clasps, buckles, ETC., and the way in
which the dressmakers utilize such
helps to ornamentation, is shown in
a design of a sleeve for spring
tailor suit. Down to the elbow the
satin-faced summer cloth sleeve.

| ly. Below the elbow the long tube of
| goods f1ared like a wineglass and its
back was sliced open in a graceful U.
Cream-color Irish point lace over
puff of canary-co1ored taffeta filed all
the bottom of the sleeve, and stood out
crisply about the hand, while across
the rear of the puff loops of black vel
vet bebe ribbon were draped and
caught upon the cloth cuff in rosettes
of ribbon fastened with large rosettes
of sparkling French paste and gray
pearls.
When a c1ose-ftting lace glove is
worn to the wrist it is the fashion to
display handsome bracelets on the
forearm, and they now make the most
charming sleeve bangles of flexible
gold, or silver, or gun-metal chains.
Tiny Jewels are caught in the fancifuI
links and gold salts bottle, in the
popular shape of an English walnut,

single carved stone, hangs as pendant

HOUSEHOLD INFORMATION.
Some Suggestions That May he of
Service to the Young
Housewife.

Individual strawberry shortcakes
offer a particularly nice way to serve
the dish as luncheon or dinner
course, says the New York Post.
Bread and butter crisps to serve with
salad need a fresh loaf baked so as to
give square slice. With sharp knife
cut off all the crust; butter one end of
the loaf, and shave off in the thinnest
slices possible. Roll each slice tightly,
and fasten with a wooden toothpick.
Lay on f1atpan and place in quick
oven until crisp and lightly Drowned.
Remove the toothpicks, and serve hot,
piled on a plate over which is laid
folded napkin.
If alcohol is used to clean gilded pic
ture-frames-an nothing is better for
the purpose-it should be applied very
lightly with a camel's-hair brush. The
beaten white of egg is also a good
cleansing agent for the gilt, and needs
the brush application with the same
light touches.
Oculists say that kerosene lamps
furnish the only best artificial light
for the eye. AS against the flicker of
gas and the trying glare of the electric
light, the oil radiance is greatly to be
preferred. From. sanitary side, too,
oiI-lamps are not so injurious as gas.
The latter is killing to plant life, as
florists well know. lighthouses and
greenhouses are invariably lighted
by kerosene-lamps.
An excellent plain staining fluid for
floors is permanganate of potash,
which may be used in proportion of
an ounce and half to gallon of boil
ing water. The crystals cost only ten
cents an ounce, making the stain
among the cheapest that: can be pro-
cured. As is well known, it is an ex-
cellent disinfectant, so its sanitary
value is appreciate. The easiest way
to apply the stain is to use a painters
fat brush, working with the grain of
the wood. If after one coat the stain
does not seem to be dark enough, a
second may be applied. The floor
should then be gone over with two or
three coats of linseed oil rubbed in
with piece of flannel or chamois, and
final polish, if that is wanted, of
beeswax and turpentine. The beeswax
and turpentine are mixed in the pro-
portion of two ounces of the wax to
four of the fluid, put in covered YES
sci. and set where a slow heat viii melt
the wax. Stir the mixture smooth, and
when cool it is ready for use.

corporation the right to operate the
road for so years, and also, for the
same period, all mineral rights in the

Ecuador, searching for minerals, and

discoveries of gold. The company

Mr.. De Leon, who is now on his
way back to Ecuador, says he is
heartily in favor of canal for the
development of trade with South
America, and that he is convinced the
Panama route is the only feasible
one. ''The objections urged against
a sea-level canal.' said he, "are really
not objections at all. Furthermore,
we already have the right to control
a canal across Panama, just as we
protect the railroad property there.

DEMAND FOR BICYCLES.
1t Is Larger Now Than in Any Pres
vfOus Season and Comes from
All Over the Country.

Based solely upon facts, the state-
ments that the aggregate sale of
American bicycles will be from 25 to
80 1-3 per cent. larger this year than
in 1900 may be safely accepted. Fur
Their than this, the demand from all
quarters for the highest grade of
wheel is to most satisfactory ex-
tent largely in excess of such demand
in 1900. More $50 machines and fewer
$25 wheels of the chain type, and 20
to rs per cent. more chainless bicy-
cles will be sold this year than has
been the case since the advent of the
chainless machine.
These are the facts as nearly as
they can be arrived at by chance or
ders received from bicycle agents
throughout the country. With the
sport itself as attractive from all es-
sential standpoints as it has ever
been, and with the country's system
of public roads in better condition
and far more extensive than ever be-
fore, the~industry has so equipped it
self as to produce bicycles 100 per
cent. better in quality and 800 per
cent. cheaper in price than was the
case when cycling, as new sport,
had attained the zenith of its Popu-
larity. Certainly no vehicle-consid-
cred from all standpoints of utility,
recreation, pleasure, economy, cost
and reliability of service-has yet
come to the front to take the place
of the bicycle, and that the public is
fully alive to that fact is demonstrate
ed by the size of the orders reaching
the leading makers, from thousands
of dealers throughout the country,
and the anxiety expressed by them
that these orders shall be filed with
out a days unnecessary delay.
These and other indications point to
decided increase in the popularity
of the sport, and highly prosperous

INC wheel Has No Rival.

An inventor, being asked what
after the bicycle?" replied: There
will never be any successor to the BIZ
cycle. because there can never be a
less amount of material put together
with greater skill that will answer the
purpose of human locomotion with
greater pleasure and ease or at less
original cost and current expense to
the rider. To consider its ightness,
its delicate beauty of appearance,
strength ana endurance, the price at
which it is sold, the uses it serves and
the pleasure and health it gives the
rider, it must unhesitatingly be pro-
nounced the consummate achieve
ment of our mechanical development
and the most benefcent contribution
that invention has made to civilization.

PEDESTRIANS Have some Rights.

That bicyclers must give warning
of their approach when they are ca.
reering along behind unsuspecting
citizens, who have not outgrown the
habit of feeling safe in the streets,
may be taken for granted, as in the
line of the teachings of common
sense. If a court should decide that
it is not incumbent on the wheelman
to carry bell, or to use il if he has
one, it is, nevertheless, enforced by
that stronger law, custom, which will
compel him to employ the signal. The
heavy truck needs no such alarm. It
makes itself heard for half a block
away, but the bicycle goes softly on
rubber, and the only intimation that
the incautious may receive of its ar
rival is vigorous bump. The rider,
no less than the walker, should wish
to avoid this, for the wheel is easily
tipped over, and a spill means pain
and repairs that may be expensive;
but long immunity from trouble has
made some riders careless, and the
least they can do for their own safety
is to carry bells and lights on their
bicycles and use them.-Golden Days.

to this effect: 'sThe whole story of
your relations with Mrs. Lesillian, OF

will not believe it except on your own
confession, and she is heart broken at
your perfidy."
To which I had shortly after, this re-
ply:

story shortly, and I trusted that her
love of me would lead her to remain
true to me in spite of this drawback,
the gravity of which do not deny. 1
was wrong, of course, not to have told
her in the first instance. I can only
trust that her generosity and nobility
of character will lead her to condone
the fault of one who was more sinned
against than SHINING.

and to listen to my explanation"
I showed Elfrida this extraordinary
epistle. She went as white as sheet,
and 1 feared she would faint, but with
an effort she recovered herself.

voice that was like a moan of pain.
