To Insure a Well

The secret of a perfect-fttiug sleeve
depends largely upon how it is set in
the arnhole; if this part of the work is
faulty the sleeve will never set correct

Try on the fitted waist and see if the
armhole is large enough. Do not tam

for miscut here will ruin the waist.

THE HOWE, ITS PROBLEMS AND WTERESTy
Modelling in Butter.

People who visited thu Centennial Ex-
position in Philadelphia in 1876 doubt
less remember a lady who attracted a
great deal Of attention at the time by
| her sculptures and expert modelling in
butter. She would take a roll Of butter.
ana. with an ordinary spoon, knife. or
butter worker, soon convert the shape
less mass into relief of 'Isolanthe. -
Paul and Virginia. THE Hunchback'
and a thousand and one other forms
with such CELEBRITY and dispatch that
those who witnessed the performance
stood dumfounded at the marvellous ra-
pidity with which she could convert a
pound of stiff. gummy butter into the
beautiful and classic features of n
Penelope, NIobe, Clotho. or Helen. She
was the pioneer in butter modelling, but
since then others have taken up the
art. until of late years it has become
such a chestnut shat midway and fair
M -ers have abandoned it as an at
traction.
However. at one of the fairs recently
held In Germany a butter-worker APP
peared a plain peasant woman from the
3avarian hills, whose manner of work
ing In butter and the results which she
produced were altogether different from
those of the lady who attracted so much
attention az the Philadelphia centennial
Instead of modelling busts of Napoleon,
Frederick the Great, and Caesar, she
would simply take a roll of butter, and.
with a ma,let beat II out into a thin
sheet less than an ghth of an inch
IN thickness.
This done. she would then take a small
knife and pointer and proceed to con-
vert the thin leaf or sheet of butter
into what looked for the all the world
like the lace of crochet work. and which
she called butter lace. She had a com
plete set of furniture. chairs. lounges.
tables and beds in miniature and made
of wicker or some kind OF fiber. and in
less time than il takes TO describe. she
would proceed to cut out and model a
set of curtains, tides, chair covers
and tablecloths of this butter lace
which at a short distance looked like
real fabrics.
For this work she used the best ST.
berian butter. from the greatest butter
producing center in the world-namely,
Tomsk, the capital of West Shorthand
in order to secure the best results she
kept IL at certain temperature. neither
too hot nor too cold. More than likely
this Bavarian peasant woman viii visit
the st. Louis Exposition. She is also
quite handy at modelling in clay, but
being thoroughly ignorant of art and of
the famous personages. gods. etc, of
classic Greece her designs and ideas
run in an altogether different channel
from that Of the Philadelphia butter
worker

POPULARITY OF SHORT
SKIRTS INCREASES MUCH

Daily the increasing number of short
skirts is noticeable on the streets. And
II might be said, en- PEASANT, that they
are shorter than the short skirt Of last
year. The woman who trails her gown
over the pavement is a rara avis now,
and even she who clutches superfiuous
dress goods in her hand has become
very scarce. Instead women of all ages
and sizes trip along In skirts that clear
the ground by several inches, and Just
Incidentally show some OF the prettlezt
footwear ever seen. There would of
course need TO be this comp ansat ton

PRETTY STOCKS OFTEN
SEEN IN THESE DAYS

The stocks are as interesting as the
waists themselves this season. for they,
too, display many new modes. A stock
of white silk had a big silver buckle in
front. And through this buckle there
was drawn wide ends of scarlet taffeta,
three inches wide. hemmed upon each
edge. and the whole abundantly stitched
in red silk. These ends were pulled
through the buckle in such a way as TO
look like a great bow at the throat
Another stock was in white taffeta
stitched in green with the stitchery tub

with two stitched tabs of white wash

and coral red knots dotting the tabs
