PROPER AUTOMOBILE TEST.
"Trip Made by Two Men from saR Francisco to New York With
 out Accident

A new transcontinental record for automobiles has been established by two men who drove a comparatively small machine of American make from San Francisco to New York, says the Brooklyn Eagle. They left the former tcity on June 20. They arrived here, muddy, tired, but not materially the worse for their uncommon experience. They averaged about 80 miles day. lThey crossed mountains. They trav Iersed deserts. They trundled over all Ixinds of roads In all sorts and condi- tions of weather. And through 1t all their machine met with no serious mis- hap, fact which will help reduce the Automobile joke of the funny papers 10 Its proper level of inooaspicuity Once sbefore the continent was crossed by an I'automobilist, but he did not make as good time as did these two people This most recent test of endurance is worth a great deal more in the development of the motor car than all the homicidal road races that have ever been arranged sn Europe or elsewhere. Eighty miles n day is not high average, and 1t could doubtless be bettered by larger cars and by more reckless drivers, but it is fast enough to show what the automobile Is capabIe of in the way of endurance. And endurance, or the capacity to wear Well, not speed. should be the first es- kential in the construction of motor ear.

WOULD NOT ADVERTISE.
Englishman Found That the Call Oi POIiteness Made It Im-
 possible.

He was an Englishman, and although he had lived in New York for several years he chung to insular opinions with tenacity that puzzled his friends. For one thing he disdained typewriting ma- chimes. But even though his aversion for that necessity of the modern age was we'll known, his acquaintances were hardly prepared for his latest exhibi- ton of extreme punctiliousness in the matter of correspondence. That came out through his reply to man who had advised him to advertise in the daily papers a certain commodity which he desired to sell, relates the New York Times.
 "Oh, but I don't want to advertise" |" demonstrated the Englishman, Tt is too much trouble.'
 His adviser. combated the point. 'T don't see how you make that out" he said. "All you have to do is to write out your 'ad' and pay for it, andlafter- ward read the answers. fail to see where the tremendous amount of trou- ble comes in.''
 But you forget the most important point-the answering of all the letters I shall get" said the EnglIshman.
 The man with advice to throw away looked curious. and the Englishman proceeded to explain
 An advertisement in New York pa- pers calls out 50 confoundedly many letters, you know," he said. T have had occasion to advertise twice since coming to this country, once for home with congenial people and again in re- gard to fur huff happened to find, and each time it took me three days to clean up ensuing correspondence.
 But you don't mean to say" ex- claimed the amazed adviser, "that you answered all the letters you received?''
 T certainly did," returned the Eng lishman. What else could a gentle man do? Those people had been kind enough to write to me, and even though most of the letters were worthless they represented time and labor and expense, and common courtesy demanded that I reply and tell the writer that could not see my way clear to transact further business with him"
 'Oh, of course" said the adviser, eff you hold that view of commercial amenities I cannot urge you to adver- tise very often"
 The Englishnan shook his head sad- ly. "You do not seem to appreciate my point of view" he said. You Ameri- cans are so impolite in business af- fairs"

SLEEVES AND NEcKWEAR.
Problem of What Becomes of Last sea- aOR's Gowns Suggests Question
 of Feminine ExtravaEance.

One wonders whether or not the aver age American woman Is becoming more extravagant Certain 1t is that very few last years frocks are being worn this summer. The problem of what becomes of all the discarded last seasons gar ments is really very puzzling. They just disappear, says the Philadelphia Ledger, to be seen no more.
 AS proving this, we may recall last summers rage for elbow sleeves, fitting the arm snugly and destitute of any decoration, save, perhaps, velvet rib bon run through beading in the hem. 1t may have been because the style was really only possible to the girl with plump, pretty arms. and because of the painful revelation resulting from it's af fectation by the angular maiden; but anyhow, who sees an elbow sleeve In the street gown of to-day? These pretty things, now voluminously beruff1ed, are reserved for house and evening wear or for lawn fetes.
 It is exceedingly difficult to make over an old-style sleeve in order to se- cure anything approaching good result. The case of the tight sleeve is almost hopeless. Those which f1ared at all can be provided with lace or null under sleeve, over which the top can hang bell fashion. There Is no prescribed length for such bell: some of them terminate at the elbow and others fall to the wrist Tn the latter event, if the bell is not wide enough. 1t may be slashed here and there to make sure that it will pret- tily reveal the lace or other decorative material beneath.
 We said above that the case of the tight sleeve was almost hopeless. There is just one way in which it can be mod ernized, provided one has sufficient material. Cut off the sleeve several three or four small tucks around it. Att tach to it one of the new flowing puffs, which are confined by shirrings around the upper arm and caught into narrow cuff at the wrist. The result is agree ably modish.
 If 1t is considered the thing to cover the arms this season, there is, at all events, no law compelling one to 1 swathe the throat in lengths of heavy satin ribbon, as in wretched summers past. In town, to be sure, women do not permit themselves the luxury of a throat quite unconined, comfortable as 1 1t would be to do so; but they suffer no hardship, owing to the delightfully."- airy styles abounding in washable stocks. Many of these are of laca, toned just suf- ficiently to maintain their shape. Others boast many rows of insertion or fagot- 1 ing and others again are of such thin, sheer lawn as to be very cool and com fortable. We wonder, almost, how we ever got along without such accessories, they are so easily adjusted and give such a pretty finish to any gown. At the various resorts stoclfless waists are worn.
 ! A charming idea for neck ruf1e is in- tended to dispense with stock. It is a few inches deep, and is made of fine white null, with edge and insertions of Valenciennes. Tiny side plaits provide fiufiness, and there are usually stole l ends in front. It demands a certain knack of adjustment, but put on right is | extremely becoming.
