and one has the elbow cuff with the puff or
second sleeve extending from that point to
the wrist, while the other is the old-style
bell-mouthed arm covering, with the sec
ond sleeve pouching below it upon the wrist.
On these two types infinite variations are
skillfully played In one instance, as the
group of sleeves shows the fullness of the
under portion Is caught down close at the
wrist by a smart little bracelet of black vel
vet ribbon, fastened with a jeweled clasp.
In another example the cuff Is turned back
at the elbow, slashed, opened and then
laced up again with gilt cords; again, the
round cuff is overlaid with lace, and finally
edged with chenille, and below it blossoms
out prodigious wheel puff.
To the woman. seeking purely artistic
effects the elbow cuff and puff will never
appeal. Rather will she lean to the long
pointed vestment sleeve, or the perfectly
simple bishop pattern, or invariably concen-
trate the puffiness If she must have It, close
about the wrist. Some Of the new Paris
frocks are made Of spotted taffeta, or cloth
of gold shining through thin chiffon COW
ering, but without exception the fullness at
the wrist Is greater than anything our own
dressmakers have yet ventured. Doubtless
we will exaggerate the puff greatly when
the foulards and voiles come into actual
service, and meantime every woman Is eau
tious not to let the puff fall too far over the
hand. In undersleeve ethics the great loose
wrist bag may extend north, south, east or
west, to the great discomfort Of its wearer
but 1t should not fall over her knuckles.

With the near approach of Merry
Shrovetide,' when in households without
number the pancake Is predestined to turn
warm brown cheeks to the enraptured
gaze it is of interest to note the historic
significance of this unique correlation be-
tween pancakes and piety. when Lent"
says a noted Catholic ecclesiastic, was
kept by q strict abstinence from meat all
through the forty days It was customary
to use up all the drippings and lard in the
making of pancakes. To consume all 1t was
usual to call In the apprentice boys and
others about the house, and they were
summoned by a bell which was naturally

more predominant on the spring gowns

elegant night dresses are supplied with the
biggest or the quaintest wrist puffings that
their designers ingenuity can supply. The
lace evening gown sleeve bursts into ex-

wrists and through the tulle gilt or silver

concentrated at the elbow. A stitfiy wired

of the modern dress artist sufficient, but
not superfluous. sleeve ornamentation.
A little investigation and observation, in
deed, goes to prove that there are just two
kinds of undersleeves so far in existence.

Mile. Jane Derval, the winner of the Gil
Bias beauty contest held in Paris a year
ago, received $1,000 year from a we'll
known dressmaker to wear his clothes ex-
clusively and advertise them among the
atrical folk. Her employer has just sued
mademoiselle for damages, claiming to hold
proof that she received 81, 500 from a rival
to propagate the idea that while she wore
the garments made by the PLAINTIFF on ac-
count of the salary paid her for doing So,
she preferred his rivals gowns.

Water in the Air.

Gentleman'S Magazine.
 It is seldom realized, save by aero nauts and mountaineers, how much watary naZe the lower air contains. Blue sky itself is but the ultimate fad ing out of haze. and when whole lower blue above is bluer than before only by reason of the haze there being more at tenuated The result of the most recent investign tions carried out chiefly by high flying kites goes to show that though at great heights the air may be spoken of as dry. this Is but a relative term. Com monly about one-half of the water vapor in the air is left below by the time the first mile and a half is climbed; but the actual moisture present varies with circumstances. Thus up to a few thous-
 and feet the air is drier during winter and at night and damper during summer
 and by day than it Is near the ground. In the light of these facts 1t becomes easy to conceive how in certain condi- tions of moist weather and on a dark night the Heaven may be seen even at long distance. Under the clear skies of other lands reflection may be seen on the under surface of cloud over great ranges: thus the cloudheaps over thun- derstorms on the American prairies may sometimes be seen at night on the hori- zon at a distance amounting to some 200 miles. Again, 1t will be easy to grasp more clearly manifested to the observer who, whether in balloon or on noun tain side. has climbed above Its lower moisture levels Here the explanation Is simply that from his new point of view the haze is seen against the dark earth, while being itself illuminated by the light from the sky above.

sometimes that of artifice. But Mir. Booth elected to represent Hamlet in a style far less familiar and far more r~. mote from ordinary life than he used for any other character in his large repertory. It was not that his Hamlet was all in one key; that its moods were not many and diverse; that the actor did not finely discriminate between the son, the Prince, the courier, the friend, the lover, the artist and the wit. The contrary was true. It was as fuil ot delicate and just differences as one could wish But, through its prevaihng quality, made constantly prominent by the tragedian's methods, certain denp- ite and necessary results were reached. Hamlet differs from Shakespeares other tragic heroes both in his supernatural experience and in his unique spiritual constitution. s-" To Hamlet, by the conditions of his life and his soul.

 After all, there is a fine fitness in that closeness of association between Edwln Booth and Hamlet the Dane. which Is to abide as long as the man and his art and his life are remembered. In his largeness and sweetness, his rare den- cacy and sensibility, he was nobly hu- man to the core, after the creatlons of the poet. Like the melancholy Prince. he was required to drink the bitter wa ter of affliction, and to hold his peace when his heart was almost breaking and in its extraordinary depth and re- serve. his soul, even as Hamlet's ana as Miltons.

The Brahmans.

Contemporary Review.
 Let us consider for a moment the white Brahman. As we know the Brahmans today they are race of immense intel lectual energy. but of no large creative force; not productive of great poetry, great dramas, great pictures, great policies, great undertakings. Yet their mental force is high and indubitable. We shall therefore find them as the lntel- lectual opponents of the three other h. dian races-as they are today the intel lectual instruments of the race which govern India.
 When we first meet the Brahmans, they have a definite form of faith and ritual But what 1t shares with the faith of the yellow races Is much more im- portant than are the points of difference Like the yellow races, whether In Korea, in China. or in the Vindhyas and Eastern Ghat~, the white Brahmans bullt up thef life on a foundation of the inVislble' they perceived the other world behind thls not in general and indefinite sense, but specifically, as the abode of their dead fathers and grandfathers; and 'the way of the Fathers" is the accepted descrip- ton for their belief during whole period of India's life They lay the greatest emphasis on the special temperament which gives access to that hidden world and the whole tenor of their lie Is olrect- ed toward heightening this temperament They feel about them everywher this hld- den world, with it's viewless dweliers' and they consider all earthly possessions as valuable only in so far as they make Tor communion with that other world' so much so that in the civil law Whlch grew from this belief, and which governs India today, the right to inherit and the duty of sacrificing for the dead are one anu anu the same thing. For us, t'lls u"va,,.Is ',,,r'; ever on the threshold of the other world is hardly intenigible; but the fault lies with us, not with their belief. we ,ack imagination. we lack insight; we iacK that vision. that inner fervor. which hlts the veil. But what is hidden from us was revealed to them. ,
 Nothing greater exists or can eNis'I |" this our life. than the sense or our nm mortality. our triumph over death, our rising from the tomb. And this great gre ,,rt and vital truth was the heart or 'he - most ancient Brahmanism-rsinS the Woru m it's true sense as the special belief or the white BrahmanS.
