Elbow sleeves will be a feature of many
of the summer gowns, and the pompadour
ruffie is d pretty finish for the transparent
close-fitting sleeve.
A revival is promised of the old-time silk
mittS for summer wear and especially with
the elbow sleeves. One style of mitt has
applique flowers of lace in the finest net.
A soft wooden cloth, plenty of rubbing
and a mixture of three tablespoonful Of

Gloves should never be mended with silk
thread. When a seam in a glove starts,
sew 1t with cotton thread to match the
glove in shade. Silk floss is one of the
best things to use in darning stockings.
The flare in some of, the tailor skirts is
produced by opening the seams on either
side of the front and at the sides and In
sorting a plating of the material. In dressy
hin gowns this fullness is sometimes of
lace.
Thin gowns in general are made with the
separate skirt, the foundation skirt being
either in silk or lawn and cut in the cir
cular form with a plated ruff1e around the
hem. Whether the outside skirt is cut
circular or not, this shape seems 10 prevail
for the underdress. but in very many in
stances il is cut circular with a wide
tucked fiOunce below the knee, headed by
two rows of lace insertion.

ribbon trimmings, insertion bands, and
graduated designs in silk applique, ar
ranged upon the skirt to impart the APP

French cheviots and the softest of cam
els-hair fabrics are among the most ia
vored of textiles for handsome tailor made
costumes for the spring. Gray and chest
nut brown are leading %colors, and a gown
of opal gray camelS hair is made with a
Breton blouse trimmed with Persian en-
broidery. The skirt opens down the front
over a simulated underdress, decorated
from belt TO hem with bands of the en-
broidery, set on about five inches apart,
each band arranged to V slightly just in
front, instead of crossing the undertakes IN
straight horizontal lines.
Blacks and whites are the rage-that is,

The BOyIess Town.

A cross old woman of long ago
Declared that she hated noise.
1.-The town would be so pleasant, you know,
If only there were no boys"
She scolded and fretted about il till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead,
And then. of a sudden. the town was still;
For all the boys had fed.
And all through the long and dusty street
There wasn't a boy In view:
The baseball lot where they used to meet
Was a sight TO make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base.
And the paths that the runners made:
For there wasn't a soul in all that place
Who knew how the game was played.
The dogs were sleeping the livelong day
Why should they bark or leap?
There wasn't a whistle or call to play,
And so they could only sleep.
The pony neighed from his lonely stall,
And longed for saddle and rein.
And even the birds on the garden wall
Chirped only a dull refrain.
There was no one TO climb the trees;
And nobody had n single taste.
Save only the birds and bees.
There wasn't a messenger boy-not one
To speed as sucn messengers can:
If people wanted treir errands done
They sent for a messenger man.
There was little, l ween. OF frolic and noise:
There was less OF cheer and mirth:
The sad old town. since IL lacked its boys.
Was the dreariest place on earth.
The poor old woman began 10 Weep,
Then woke with a sudden scream:
Dear me-" she cried. Il have been asleep.
And o what a horrid dream.'

Harper's Weekly.
Professor Harris, national commissioner
OF education, reports that in 1890 the public
high schools of the United States gradu-
ated 2O,944 boys and 1924 girls. The girls
seem to be getting rather more than their
proportion of the public secondary educa-
ton. The boys are taken from school
earlier than the girls and put to work.
Probably, too, many of the girls find a
special profit in the high-school course be-
cause they expect to be school teachers.
At Delmonico's, in New York, the other
day, a WOman's debating club discussed
whether the college girl is fitted for matri-
mony, and 1t was hotly argued that she
wasn't, and that the old-fashioned educa-
the japanese think. They have tried the
Western education for their girls and put
it softly down as unsuitable.
But surely TO us the idea that ii is in
advisable to train a woman's mind beyond
a certain moderate limit must seem alb
surd. If the objection to girls colleges is
based on the mental training they give 1t
cannot have much force. If ii Is an objec-
ton to college-taught manners and an OBJ
Streperous individuality there may be more
TO be said. One strong argument for giving
girls as good an educational start as pos
Sible is that after they grow up they stay
at home more than men do, and find in do
nestle life and the companionship of chill
dren conditions less stimulating to their
minds than the outside interests which en-
gage the attention of men. A mans bust
Eess often develops his mind in spite of
the lack Of early training. When a woman
mind doesn't get its due start betimes it
may not get it at all. Still, there are plenty
of women whose minds and characters get
a very full development without very much
book learning of any sort. There are very
able persons, men and women, who read
very little, and there are shoals of dOlts
who read constantly. Folks differ. 1t
seems rash 10 say that colleges fit or unfit
girls for marriage unless you know the
girls and consider what manner of men
they are fit to marry. College could not do
a girl a more useful service than to unfit

Philadelphia Times.
There is one girl Of this town who is find
ing out, this lenten period, a deal about
herself that she didn't know before. Being
too delicate to fast, and too poor to give
much of the coin of the realm to the needy,
she determined to keep lent by cultivating
that charity that neither thinketh nor
speaketh evil.
1t seemed an eminently proper thing to
do. and mademoiselle felt a little twinge
under the shoulder blades, as if her wings
were starting. after she made her resolu-
ton. She rather feels now, however, as if
they had gone back" so to speak. She is
also, as We said, getting some side lights
on her own character by reason of this eff
fort that don't show it up as quite so sweet
and angelic as had been her secret opinion
of it.
She never considered herself a malicious
person, nor a particularly uncharitable one.
But after two weeks of constant endeavor
not to speak i'll of her acquaintance, blow
up her dressmaker if things sartorial were
not just to her liking, give the cook a piece
of her mind. nor correct her mothers old
fashioned pronunciation of some word,
much to the ~latter's embarrassment, she
concludes she has been rather an lima
tured. captious individual to live with.
If she has opened her mouth once TO say
her chum was lawfully clever, but dread
fully -bad-tempered." she has done. ii a
dozen times. But she has clapped it to
again resolutely when she thought of her
vow. She has been all ready to join with
JUNCTION in the tongue slaughter of her enc
mics, but has remembered in time 10 SAY
no evil"
She has been clothed with humility and
sitting among the lowly now for the past
few days, for 1t has been somewhat Of a
shock to find how many times she has had
to bite her tongue in order to cut short the
uncharitable speech that was coming. Her
tongue is quite sore. likewise her vanity.
But her character is steadily gaining in
loveableness.
Rather a worthy lenten penance, isn't Ii?

The Slav and Woman.

Abhorrent even to the strongest
"Slavophile" is the position occupied
by woman in the family and in social
life, says q writer in tho Outlook. To
escape the charge OF prejudice, shall
quote q few proverbs current among
the Southern Slavs-a few out of many
hundreds:
"The man is the head, the woman is
grass"
"One man is worth more than ten
women"
a man Of straw is worth more than
a woman of gold.
LET the dog bark, but let the wom-
an keep silent"
HE who does not beat his wife IS
no man."
What shall I get when I marry?"
asks q boy Of his father. 'For your
wife stick. for your children
switch"
Twice in his life is q man happy
once when he marries, and once when
he buries his wife"
And the woman sings IN the fusSIan
folk song, which l have freely trans
lated:
Love me true and love me quick,
Pull my hair and use the stick"
Although there are love songs of an
other kind. in which the woman is
praised for her charms, she becomes
virtually a slave as soon as she mar
ries. and the little poetry Of the folk
Song does not accompany her even to
the marriage altar. She is valued only
for the work she can do in household
and for the children she. can bear. and.
should this latter blessing be denied
her. her lot becomes doubly pitiahle,
and she often seeks release by suicide.

CHAPTER XVIII.

In the week which followed Nell's
departure for London the spirits of her
uncle declined day by day until the
red-faced, genial innkeeper had be-
come little more than the shadow Of
his former self.
He missed his niece more than he
would admit even to himself. And al
though it is true that his mind had be-
come tainted with suspicion Of her
truth and honesty, he would have been
ready and willing to receive her back
and to forget the doubts which he
could not wholly stihe. But Nell was
sharpsighted enough to understand
this state of feeling, as revealed to her
unconsciously by her uncle in his let
ters. So she made excuses for re-
naming in London, and George Claris
was left lonely.
The innkeeper, although he did not
share Clfford's entire confidence in
Nell, was grateful to the young barris-
ter for it. But he said that Nell had
forbidden him to divulge her address,
and Mr.. King must wait for the girls
own time for making it known to him.
Just before Clifford left reluctantly
for London, lie had another interview
with the detective Hemming, who, aft
er having disappeared for fortnight.
had returned to the scene Of his inves-
tigation.
Hemming was reticent, but gave
the impression that he was more
strongly convinced than ever that he
was on the right track as to the per-
petrator of the murder and Of the
robberies.
well, what are you going to dog
asked Clifford impatiently. Are you
going to set another decoy to work"
Hemming looked at him shrewdly.
1T won't be any use," answered lie
dryly, until"
Until what?"
"Well, sir, if I must say it-until
Miss Claris comes back"
Clifford controlled the anger he felt,
since an exhibition of it would only
have closed the detectives lips more
tightly.
II should like you to make an expert
ment, though" said he. "Will you
make it on my account? want it
very we'll done, no matter what it
| costs"
You're throwing your money away,
sir" replied Hemming civilly. Still,
if you wish it, and choose to pay for
it, of course it can be done"
Clifford found a card, and gave it to
the detective.
There is my address, said he. II
| rely upon you to do your best"
And you won't he dissuadcd, sir,
from useless expenses"
NO
Before they parted, Clifford and the
detective had arranged between them
the details of little plot which Cliff
ford thought would certainly suffice
to excite the appetite of the astute but
daring thief who was at the bottom
of all the mischief.
In the week following Clifford's de-
parture, therefore, there arrived at
