There is no denying the fact thaE
the sleeves of the present day resem-
hle very closely those worn sol''e
twelve years back.
As vet they are not so 1uily eAas-
gerated and the principal duliness l7
still noar the elbow, but the puff is
mounting rapidly upward and in many
evening gowns the sleeve now con-
s,sts simplv of one large pun at
the shoulder with a soft cape OF lace
falling over it.
Severe tailor gowns and Simple
Jackets made for hard wear oVel
shirtwaist have the tight coat sleeves
hut for elaborate costumes, a1terhoon
and evening gowns, as well as a'i
kinds of wraps, there is no limit 10
the size of the sleeve, and on the
; house gown the greatest ingenuity IS
ofttimes required in order to get 'he
required amount Of trimming ana
bandwork on the given amount Of ma
terial.
With gowns of voile, chiffon clof n
and manv other soft materials it is
a good idea to render the gowns still
LIGHTER and softer by having the
sleeve made entirely of chiffon OF the
safe shade as the dress. Again with
the fashionable three puff sleeve the
INNER fold may be o. silk, or OF what-
ever material the dress happens 10

fon. In this case the color must le
identically the same or the effect will
not be at all attractive.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

are among the luxnries that COM
nand lace and often disproportion-
ate price in the shops and which the
girl with nimble fingers can fashion
fer herself for a fraction of that price.
The best shops have always odds and
ends OF fine lace that they are very
glad to close out for next to nothing.
and here is the needleworker's op-
pcrtunity. Facings for the levers
that are making such a furore abroad
are another home production that can
he made dainty and artistic at little
cost. and the girl who paints can have
hand-painted silk that royalties COM
mand in their safe garments and ap-
ply it to her smart velvet costume
with the most exquisite effect.
Vests with cuffs en- suite are very
smart worked in kid or suede of deli
cate tint The old-fashioned nailheads
il all sorts of colors are often used
with spaneles between, and every
EEown kind Of embroidery from the
fines, flo to the ribbon encrusted en-
broideries Of the Marie Antoinette Pc
riod are in the highest kind of vogue.
The thinnest and sheerest of hand
kerchief linen or batiste is used for

accom- pany the design. Little floral
SPRINGS and sprays are done in tn
finest of white linen thread, all tho
tucking is hemstitched, and he old
time veilings add to the fairy-lke ap.
pearance of the finished article.
Beaded bags maintain all of their
vogue, this largely, one suspects, be-
cause they are intrinsically expen-
sive productions, and the machine
made imitation can be told at a
glance. The oldtime patterns that
are determined by the sequence of the
beads in stringing are still favored,
and very gracefully. indeed. do they
accord with the revival of the other
old-time features in dress. Some of
them are shown With exquisite hand

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
Judge FeatherstOne Was Much Affected
But Responded to the Sentiment
In a Very Happy Manner.

Just before the special term of the
court adjourned yesterday afternoon
Gen. nj. l.. Bonham rose and stated to
Judge Featherstone that he had been
directed, as president Of the local Bar
association, 70 express the appreciation
of the bar for tho manner in which
Judge FeatherStone had presided over
the court as special Judge. All the
members of the bar, he said, had known
Judge Featherstone for many years,
and had the warmest friendship for
him. On that account they had felt
personal pleasure in having him come
back to his old home TO preside over
the court, but aside from that, he said,
the ability and cOnscientiousness dis.
played by him on the bench had made
a deep impression on the members Of
the bar, as lawyers and as men, aud
he took pie elsure ia voicing the seuti-
ment Of the bar.
Gen. Bonham spoke very earnestly.
His remarks were seconded in few
well chosen remarks by Hon. Geo.

members OF the bar and as lawyer

admirable discharge of his duties.
Judge Featherstone was taken by
surprise and was much affected but re-
spondod to the sentiment that had
been expressed in few remarks He
said there was no place to him like
Anderson, his old home, and he had
felt pleasure as we'll as a pride in
| coming here to hold court. He hal
tried 10 discharge hi; duty honestly,
