IN THE DOMAIN OF WOMAN.


I s%picuous advantage thar by this device.
The owner Of e very ~faultless upper arm
never hesitates to drape that portion Of her
arm In a Countess Of Airie. which Is al.
ways a sleeve of some soft, transparent
goods, opening over the top Of the white
member, held at shoulder and midarms by
a pair Of snowy clasps Of jewels or beads
and met at the elbow by a fully ~wrinkled
white suede glove.
1t Is surprising to note. in view Of the
gracefulness Of the sleeves, the extreme at
tentlon any dress Interested woman gives
TO the decoration. Of her arms, with a
Countess Of Airlie sleeve the glove must
be fitted with extreme. care. very tightly
and smoothly at the wrist and the wrinkles
must swell and ripple easily to the elbow.
On the left wrist a bracelet is worn so
large that it falls over the hand and thereby
subtly conveys. an aspect Of length and
slenderness to that member.
With all muslin gowns a pure pompadour
sleeve is the fashion, and this, as is char
acteristic of nearly all the sleeves this
season, fits plainly down to the elbow;
there 1t hounces out in countless frills,
sometimes Of a color and materials that
contrasts with the lawn or muslin OF the
gown, though one full and very long hounce
OF the ringed, dotted or figured batiste
usually falls over those of the undersleeve.
! One of the quaintest variations Of the
countless multiplications upon the e~nticing
Du- Barry theme is the ideal sleeve for a
simple summer evening froek or a June tea
gown. The sleeve in this instance is cut
enormously wide, Of nainsook, net, wash
silk, or what you please, provided that IT
will gather very full into the - nhole
without creating u~ngainly bulk. Just mid

HEROIC. WOMEN OF FRANCE.
Thirty-Three Have Received Medals
of Honor for Conspicuous Service.

Thirty-Three Have Received Medals
Of Honor for Conspicuous Service.
The list Of those who received medals of
honor for military achievements from the
French government was exceptionally small
last year, and for the first time in a genera
tion did not include the name OF a woman.
Thirty-three women in all have received
the decoration, but OF these twenty have
followed their old friends and comrades
who proved their courage. Only thirteen
remain to wear the medals and tell the
stories Of the deeds that won them.
Most OF the women are old, gray haired,
comfortable, given over to domestic peace
or the most unmAftial business occupations,
but they have seen stirring sights in their
day. There was Marie Vialar, the first can
tiniere Of France, for instance. She was
living until a few, years ago and her name
Is still honored In the One Hundred and
Thirty-hrst regiment OF the line. She was
only 20 when she went with the army to the
Crimea. She was good to look at and she
carried the heart of q soldier under the
blouse Of the cantiniere.
In the war Of 1870 she distinguished her
self even more signally. Her regiment de-
manded the medal Of honor for her, but she
waited sixteen years before the decoration
was given to her.
soeur Gregoire was another heroine Of the
Crimea. She had made the Italian cam
paign and won fame there, but in the
Crimea she achieved wonders. Her left arm
was amputated on the field Of battle, but
that did not keep her from going with her
regiment to China, where she died.
p Maman Chocalot, as the soldiers called
her. Jean Bannemere by baptism, was an
other of the early cantinieres, and one of
the most popular ever known In the French
army. She had not the slightest compre-
hension Of the meaning Of the word fear
and the stories Of her reckless daring would

she was captured by Prussians, and she
swallowed the dispatch before the eyes OF
her csptors. The deed won her q dscora-
ton and years after the medal Of honor was

Trimmings.
NEW YORK, March 14.-Think twice and
look carefully about you before you decide
upon the sleeve for your new summer
gown, whatever that may be, since thereby
hangs a good deal Of the distinction and
smartness OF the costume. A sleeve cannot
be lightly chosen, for Paris has regulated
the use Of the quartet Of captivating shapes
that prevail, along with their notifications.
The Countess OF Airlie, the Du Barry, La
Pompadour and the Georgian sleeve are the
four styles whence all variation emanate.
The Georgian shape Is the latest recruit
and a conspicuous French designer orig
mated 1t, primarily for use in the makeup
Of those wonderful dotted foulard n
broadcloth gowns that were FIRST built In
her work rooms. The arm Is dressed closely
In silk to the elbow; at the joint the silken
cylinder flares and from under its width
springs a cuff Of cloth that is very wide
mouthed: this falls we'll down to the hand
and is decorated diagonally with four silver
a ll-shaped eighteenth century horseman's
buttons.
Over here some OF our dressmaker's ana
tailors call this the John Gilpin sleeve and
inside the cloth cuR the arm is clothed in
q white avn or linen undersleeve striped
with lace.
BY virtue Of airy charm the Countess OF
Airlie takes FIRST rank as the evening
sleeve. though It is in perfectly good taste
to elothe the arm as a la Boucher, that is
closely to the elbow. with q drapery Of silk
and chiffon caught up at this point with a
jeweled ornament. A woman who reVels in

For Garden Party Use.
Your frou-frou woman, with a love Of the
picturesque in dress, devotes her attention,
both intellectual and financial, to the mus
lin boom. Her taste in silk leads her to the
embroidered pongees, her interest in wool
draws her to satin-spotted v~eilings, but her
heart and thoughts are ever with the mus
Inns. Those most luxurious silk and mohair
muslins, the braided muslins and Pima cloth
from Manila are the newest items on her
shopping list. An idea Of the ever increas-
Ing elaborateness OF these transparent
gowns IL conveyed by a picture Of one Of
the latest triumphs Of a prominent Dress
maker. Two points. in this engaging little
toilet must be mentioned; one Is that knot
Of ribbon on the skirt. It's the new ribbon
for muslins, one Of its surfaces is black,
the other Is pale green MORE. A little later
1t will prevail conspicuously, just now 1t is
a scarce and special novelty from the other
side, where IL is called La Contesse.
The second important feature which this
model displays Is the crowning touch, the
toque Of big yellow roses. without going
into explanatory details we may say that
the muslin is a composition in we'll assem-
bled yellows, rose .tints and touches Of
green;. accordingly the hat is a shape of
pale pink satin straw, trimmed with yellow
roses and green foliage, and let the reader
bear In mind that q flower toque is the
full dress headgear for the next six months.

TO ADD INCHES TO HEIGHT.
simple Exercises that Give POise ana
Grace to Movement.

This is particularly for the maiden or
youth who is not tall, but desires to be SO.
One must hold ones self erect In the first
place, without the least bending Of the
knees, which must be drawn in firmly, but
not held tensely.
This erectness of pose can be acquired
without stiffness by practice. Draw the
hips we'll back and throw out the chest.
Carry the head high and we'll poised.
This poise can best be attained by walk
ing about the room five or ten minutes daily
with something's book or basket-on the
head. If one can balance a weight on the
head while walking. the movement Is from
the hips, instead Of from the waist, which
improves the gait and makes a woman more
thoroughbred In appearance.

fashioned stretching. both early and late

PULLED AN ELEPHANTS TUSK
An Operation That Took Much Time
and Cocaine md n Number
of Horses

Il think the most novel thing l ever
saw was the pulling of an elephants
tusk," said a travelling man recently
to Cincinnati Commercial Tribune re-
porter.
1t was three years ago this summer,
while l was in the City of Mexico.
Everybody that has ever lived in Mex
leo has heard of the Orrin Brothers
circus. 1t has the same reputation in
that country as Barnum has in this.
One of their attractions was a big ele-
plant that was known by every man,
woman and child in the city, as it had
been with the show for over 20 years
and had carried most of the people on
his back. He was gentle, and was as
big favorite as old Jumbo.
Zone day one of the animal men re-
ported to the Orrins that the big ele-
plant was acting strangely. a sur
geon was sent for, but he could not dis
cover what was wrong. The keeper
the next day reported that the animal
would not eat. The surgeon was sent
for again, and he found that the ele-
plants tusk was decaying a t the roots.
Cocaine was injected and other med
icine applied to ease the pain, but the
big fellow seemed to suffer more each
day. So it was decided to pull the tusk.
But how to do it was another thing.
The surgeon, with his assistant, how
ever. decided on a plan. 1 was invited
by the agent to witness the operation.
''The big elephant was led into the
middle of the mena gerie, where stakes
had been driven. He was then chained
to the stakes and pulled back on his
launches. His big trunk was strapped
up over his back. Animal keepers were
stationed all around with hooks to
fight him if he became mad during the
operation. The doctors then began
work. Almost water bucket full of
cocaine was injected into the gum and
side of the head. The doctor, being sat
isfied that the big fellow was dopy,
took an augur and bored hole through
the tusk near the gum. This took a
long time, but every now and then more
dope would be injected. After the
hole was bored through the tusk a steel
rod was showed through the hole. To
this a strong rope was attached. The
long rope was then covered with tar.
and the rope was wound around the
tusk. The rope was then run through
a pulley attached to several stakes. a
team of four horses was in readiness
and the rope was attached to the traces.
When everything was secure the horses
were whipped up. 1t was long, hard
pull, but out came the big tusk. The
monster elephant, however, fought
and tried to get away, but he was
chained so well that he was powerless.
After the tusk came out the big fellow
was released, and he went back to his
quarters, evidently more satisfied
than any one with the operation.

IN SITTING BULLS FAVOR.
The Famous Old Indian Chief Was
Surprised at the Rihe-ShOOting
of Annie Oakley

Probably the best rifle shot among
the women of the country is Miss
Annie Oakley, now giving exhibitions
at places of entertainment. Her
craftsmanship is surprisingly accu-
rate, and Is years ago Sitting Bull,
the famous Sioux warrior, offered all
the moEey in his possession, amount
ing to SCI, for her photograph. Sit
ting Bull knew good craftsmanship
when he saw it and wanted some
thing by which to remember little
Sure Shot" For months he had
been busy printing his name upon
cards and selling them at one dol
lar each. He had made SCI. The
next day he sent his treasure to Miss
Oakley, asking her to have a picture
made of herself and begging THAI
he might have one for his own. When
Miss Oakley returned the Sol and
with them photograph of herself in
shooting costume Little Sure
Shots" popularity in Indian society
circles went up ten points, says the
Albany Argus.
When only eight years old Miss
Oakley began to create sensation
by her accuracy with the rifle. At
10 Miss Oakley began her profess
sional career. Her first match was
in Cincinnati against a stranger for
$25 a side. The stranger was entered
against an unknown. The stranger
would have shot for more, but that
was all the money 1 had said Miss
Oakley Frank Butler was the
stranger. Miss Oakley, now Mrs.
Butler, the unknown.
Record after record has been made
since that first match and now Miss
Oakley is spoken of as the most re-
markable woman rifle and wing shot
in the world. AS early as 1884 she
broke 943 out of 1000 glass balls.
Her clay pigeon record is unequaled,
and with the live birds she holds her
own. In the fall of '95 came the
hardest work of all. She took a
company abroad and with the new
venture came worries and trials that
perplexed. But the travel was good
fun and the season well spent in such
an experience.

seasick Maiden Gives Up Every

Her Lover.

The maiden was suffering with seasick-

the incidents OF this story open, a veritable

ached at her most unromantic gaspings over
the rail and her agitated and strenuous
effort to lamp the hole in the bottom of the
sea, approached her tenderly,. relates the
Los Angeles Herald.
1T is too bad, he said, idiotically.
"Is-is it," she asked, satirically, as she
again made Pelee-oid demonstrations.
Too bad you had TO give UP" he contin-
ued, with the same beautiful intelligence
that characterizes all persons who try to
render first aid to the seasick.
YES" she said, with exasperated savage
ness, as she wiped the tears from her red
dening lids. Il have given up everything
but my love for you; and now"-she made a
wild reach for the rail once more, and, after
few moments, she completed her sentence
there, that's gone, too"
But they made up again when she was
better.

What the Union Pacific is doing in en-
gineering improvements is commended TO
other companies that operate in parts of
the country where such difficulties are
encountered as in the West. Straight roads
are economic roads, and they invite traffic.
The wild yanks and alarming rolls to which
passengers are subject on some of them
cause train sickness, which is a form of
sea sickness, and headache, and they cause
a rapid deterioration of cars and engines.
Those railroads make the best bid for
patronage that promise not merely speed,
but comfort, and steadiness is the more
comfortable, because it indicates security.
We have been eager to extend the mileage
of this country. Now might show some
expedition in reducing it by following the
example of the Union Pacific in straighten-
ing needless turns and lowering or raising
needless grades.-Brooklyn Eagle.
