NEW ideas for sIeevea.

Since sleeves have gone up in the
world of fashion, there is no end to
their airs and graces, to say nothing
of their variety. A fetching graceful
sleeve has an unusual touch given it
by an arrangement of silk rings, which
are sewed to the upper side Of the
sleeve. from the shoulder to near the
elbow. Through these rings soft rib
bon is threaded, and is finished with
long ends and rings. 1t is quite the
fad right now, when wearing either an
all-white or all-black gown, to intro
duce Just one touch Of color, and to
have that in the sleeve. A black NOUS
Seline-de-soie gown specially approved
by Nine. La Mode has full elbow
sleeves of the black mousseline, with
black silk rings reaching from the
shoulder to the elbow threaded with
apple-green Liberty satin. 1t is only
here in the sleeves that the color is
introduced, and the effect is extremely
smart. In this way a note of black is
added to a white or pale-tinted gown.

THE CARE OF FURNITURE.
How to Polish and Remove Spots and
Stains from the Wood
work.

The care of furniture woods IS an
exceedingly interesting part of the
intelligent housekeeper's duties. The
daily light busting must supplement
the weekly rubbing if the bloom" in
this instance not desirable, is TO be
kept away, says Harper's Bazaar. AS
a rule, the use of oily restoratives is
to be deprecated. Unless applied by
a tireless arm, and thoroughly rubbed
in, and thereafter the piece of furni-
ture kept in perfect polish by a daily
rubbing, the oil is sure to form crust
sooner or later, which is gummy to the
touch and not pleasing to the eye. For
this reason new furniture should be
kept as long as possible without the
application of such restoratives. Fur
niture which has been finished with
shellac or varnish, whether in glossy
or dull finish, should never be cleansed
with soap or water. Soap is made to
cut OILY substances, and in the per-
Torrance of the service for which it
is made eats the oil out of the waxed,
oiled or shellacked surface it touches,
and destroys it.
Where white spots appear on
polished surfaces from the dropping
of liquids or from heat, the immediate
application of raw inseed oil will gen.
erallv res tore the color. The oil should
be left on the affected spot for several
hours or over night. Alcohol will per-
form the service if applied at once
to rosewood or highly finished mahog-
any. In each instance, when the color
has returned, the spot should be re-
polished with a piece of cheese-cloth |
moistened with turpentine.

In THE HOME LIFR.
Affection of Their Families
for Granted.

AS people grow older they become
more and more dependent for their
happiness upon those who Immediately
surround them - particularly the
younger members of their own family
but, although they realize themselves
that this is the case, and feel that they
desire beyond all else the love and
affection OF the younger generation,
they do not always seem to understand,
says the New York Tribune. But in
order to receive what they crave, they
must themselves bring about the con-
ditions they wish for, by their own
method OF expressing their feelings,
and their manners to those of whom
they are fond. 1t is very much to be
questioned whether what is called ma
tural affection is as much of human
instinct as it is believed to be-that is
to say, whether the love for ones re-
lations is Independent of the latter's
conduct, and exists without encourage
ment. Take the fathers of families, for
instance, how many are crusty and
fault finding, and how few really en-
deavor to make themselves pleasant
companions to those about them. Such
men consider the love of their children
as their right, and never doubt but that
it is given to them. Whereas, it is
simply the conventional outer shell Of
affection that they receive, the real
pith and substance being totally lack
ing. Their presence Expresses and their
absence is a relief; natural youthful
chatter is hushed at their approach,
and the family would really be much
happier without them.
Sometimes, but not often, the re-
lationship Of mothers to their children
assumes the same formal character;
but women are more sympathetic and
more naturally trivial, and it is far
easier for them to enter into the in
terests and pursuits of very young
people than men. 1t is difficult and
often it is impossible for the latter to
become really companionable, but it iS
always in their power to make
themselves loved for their kind
ness and consideration, and it
behooves the heads Of the
to consider whether they
would not rather be loved than feared,
and act accordingly, not taking it for
granted that their wives and children
must love them on account Of the re-
lationship and pecuniary obligations,
but earning real, bona fide affection
by the only right method, i. e., recipro-
cal love and kindness.
