 According to the eastern papers the rolled-up sleeve fad Is the rage of the sea- son with the summer girl at every resort By the seashore, among the mountains, wherever the summer tourist roams the bare arms are everywhere in evidence. No fad has enjoyed such universal popularity In years And the darker the coat of tan or the thicker the freckles the better. To display an arm the shade of an unusually black negro Is evident, of course, that one has been In the ia sfiion and sleeveless for a long time.
 The fad is equally popular with both men and women. It is, besides, quite the correct thing to go bare-armed on tho street or other public places, and for women even to attend social functions with these abbreviated sleeves. The fad dates from last summer, when it was ob- served in a modified form. A few vent uresome ladies at Newport were first seen with barred arms upon the golf links or while boating, but fashion frowned upon any extension of the liberty. This year, however, all is changed. No matter how thin or unpresentable the arm may be, it must be worn barred.
 The waists for early autumn are called the Edna May" and button down the back with small buttons. They come in black China, China silk and crepe de chine as well as in lighter shades.

Newport, R. l., Aug 2-I have come to this queen of watering places, with its fog-banks on which the sun beats down until feel like lobster in the process of changing color. That is, I don't like it during July and August, but I must be where the people are-that is the people associate with. I don't like them as much as I used to, but I tolerate them for what they have. I like the life they live, but get awfully bored by them and their ways. Still, even heaven must get monotonous, so I change my comforta- ble quarters in the great city and come down here to think I am at the seaside. say think. because see more of the dusty, badly fenced Bellevue avenue than do of the sea. Now and then Gerry or others of the yachting contingent take me out for a sail and~every morning But as to being at the seaside, 1t Is non sense to talk about it here. It is what we see the least of.

Speak Language of the Other, Yei

From the Chicago Chronicle
 Cupid won in the Court of Justice Doc ley at the Maxwell street police station yesterday. when his honor enjoined the novelty of seeing two lovers who could not speak a word to each other. The in- teresting couple gave their names as William Serkova. 549 Lake street, and Rosie Strauss, 576 Lake street. Serkova Is Greek, and he has been In this coun- try but a short while. He speaks no English Miss Strauss Is a pretty, dark complexioned young woman. She IS Jewess, and cannot speak Greek. This. however, does not discourage her, and with a smile she informed Justice Doo- ley that she was engaged to Serkova, and that the wedding bells would shortly ring.
 All this was told in the English lan- guage. and was not understood by the defendant The court was surprised.
 And you mean to tell me that you have been keeping company with man with whom you are unable to speak, asked the magistrate.
 "Oh, we get along first rate" answered the young woman. We are very fond of one another. and have been engaged for some time"
 "But how are you going to understand each other after you are married?" asked the court.
 Well, I intend to learn his language, and l will also teach him to speak Eng lish.'
 How do you manage to converse with him at all?" asked the court.
 "Oh, whenever 1 desire to say anything to him have to call an interpreter"
 The prisoner was charged with selling horses in the ghetto Sunday. Miss Strauss pleaded for the prisoner and de- clared that he did not know he was do- Ing wrong. She said she would guaran- tee that the offense would not be repeat ed. and on her pleadings the court re- leased the prisoner.

A SkY-SCRAPER.
A Description of Americas Tallest .rr .a Smokestack. ss


 The tallest smokestach ever built in this country has just been completed at Constable Hook, N. J. It Is 365 feet above the ground, and in height is ex- ceeded by a few others In the world. The stack Is at the works of the OK ford Copper Works, which are opposite New Brighton, Staten Island, and resi- dents of that pIace, and, indeed of the whole shore of the island, have watched its erection with the greatest interest, as 1t has been designed with the idea of giving them partial relief from the smoke nuisance, of which Staten Islanders have been complain ing so vigorously.
 It was lgured out by experts that if the smoke from the twenty-seven chimneys of the blast furnaces, con- taining a considerable percentage of sulphurous, could be carried up to a sufficient height, it would reach a strata that would take 1t over Staten Island or any other contiguous terri tory far enough to permit the obnox, ious gases to become dissipated. In vestigations were made at the copper works at Laurel Hill, Long Island where there is a stack 295 feet high and for miles around, 1t was found, no one complained. Consequently, stack even higher than that at Laurel Hill was decided upon, which has cost something over $50,000.
 The construction of such a stack on the marshy ground at Constable Hook was very difficult undertaking and involved great engineering problems Only one firm in the world, the com pany believed, could do the job, and that was the Cutodis Chimney Con struction Company of Germany. They brought over their own men here. who had experience in laying bricks at al

 A very uppish young woman is Mrs Clarence Mackaye.

 Young Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who Is my favorite young matron, gave luncheon, by the way, I wish she would change her chef-and Kitty was there in wonderful French muslin gown embroidered by hand most exquisitely. She also wore a hat of grardenias and violets tha. looked fresh enough and tempting enough to pick. There was no collar to the gown; on the contrary it was cut away at the neck. beautiful piece of Maltese lace covered the should CTS, which was held by black velvet rib bon with long ends. A diamond star held 1t on the bodice. I like the idea. It Is being initiated. If a woman has a nice neck 1t Is just the thing; but If she has one of those cream-colored throats with big pens, suggestive of a picked chicken she had better go in for the Queen Eliz- abeth collar. A nice neck looks cool and proper when the humidity is 95 and the thermometer Is striving for a record.
