For the tailor-made coat the moder-
ately full coat sleeves. rather high and
square at the shoulder, but not empha-
sizing these lines to an exaggerated
degree, and the modified gigot quite
full at top and rather close below the
elbow, are the two models that have
the greatest vogue.

of the sleeves In 1atly-stitched, small

There is no denying that the gigot
idea predominates in sleeve modes.

OF that we have accepted and shows
itself rather in the fact that the sleeve
is broader at the shoulder than any
point below than in exaggerated full

mILkMAlDs SING AT WORK.
Music Proved to Have Good Effect on
Field of MILK


Dairy farming approaches nearest
to perfection in Switzerland. and there
the milk maid with the sweetest voice
commands the highest salary.
The relationship between good sing
ing and good dairy work was proved
aeveral years ago at farmers con-
gress at Interlaken.

ed in silence. yielded 200 quarts Of
milk; MIXED by maids with fair
voices, they yielded 220 quarts; MIXED
by maids with beautiful voices, they
yielded $40 quarts.
This proof of fact that had long
been suspected set premium on the
mlkmaids who could sing we'll. They
who could not sing well took up at
once the study of vocalization, and
hence it is that Switzerland has so
many singing schools.
Milking time In the little mountain
republic is easily remarked by the
tourist on account Of the enormous
volume of song that then scars up.
Silent milking. in the eyes of the
frugal Swiss farmer. is almost crime
and the dairy maid, who milks in ST.
lence, ia certain to be discharged.
Swiss maids who apply for places In
diaries are examined as strictly in
singing as in milking and butter-mak.
