~ HOWE ITS PROBLEMS IND ITS INTERESTS
THE LONDON SLEEVE.

One must be q little careful now In
cutting out ones sleeves, for the styles
are changing and sleeves that are fash
ionable now may be ruined for wear
later on. The newest London sleeves
are cut in coat sleeve shape. but with
the top immensely large From the
shoulder to the wrist the sleeve tapers
gradually until il is very tight indeed at
the hand. while at the shoulder il is very
large indeed This is called the London
sleeve. and II Is one Of the smartest
tailored sleeves of the year.
But the woman OF style does not want
a tailored sleeve save or her street
gowns. She prefers something prettier.
something more delicate and something
more feminine She wants a trimmed
sleeve And she would like something
with a cuff and droop-
The dropping. sagging Sleeve holds Its
own pretty we'll The new shirt waists
show voluminous folds of sleeves with
something OF droop near the elbow,
either just above or just below There
is not the long bagging, saggfng droop
which was once so very fashiona BILE, but
there is a fullness which viii not down
and cut in spite of many efforts to put
1t out of business
The bell cuff for card parties is pretty
and 1t shows the hand and gives one a
chance to wear bracelets. This cuff Is
shaped precisely like a bell. 1t flares
full around the knuckies and is stifYened
and trimmed. It is tight at the top and
sets very snug 10 the wrist. 1t is a
typical bell euff.
Sleeves are again made very long, and
this Is awkward for card playing. but
they can be showed up a little without
injury 70 their outline Indeed. there is
very little outline to the new sleeve and
with the puffs, the bags and the safr-
rings one must learn TO imagine the nat
ural size and shape.

NeU VaISfs and TRIMMINGS

4 study of the new waists reveals the
fact that they are heavier than the
waists of last season and that a greater
variety of materials is used in their
make
Evening waists are stately rather than
fragile. and there is a return toward
substantial effects. One can use ones
old brocades to very good advantage,
for it is brocade which is The thing
these days.
Scrim has been revived for neck trim
ming, and the newest stocks are made
OF scrim embroidered in green four-leaf
clovers, with a big embroidered clover
leaf at the front.
There come such beautiful trimmings
these days that one must pause before
the counters on which they are dis
played, whether one can buy or not.
Truth 10 tell, they rank high in the
artistic world, these trimmings, and
they actually make a gown stylish. no
matter how poor its materials.
Sets Of trimmings come on cards for
the decoration of q. dress. And one can
buy Oriental goods by the yard. A
square yard of brilliant trimming, all
designed in strips, can be cut apart and
used to decorate a dress

Gaze of Dependent Children.

children in Australia is to board them

for expenses for food and clothing An
investigating committee ascertains what
families are willing to care for the
children, and determines what home is
best adapted for the child in question.
The family is required to send the child
TO school at the proper age, and after
the age of fourteen, when he is permit
ted to work. his earnings are not for
feited to his caretakers but deposited in
the bank until he is old enough to be
counted an independent man. The cost

Not all may wear dead black.
One way Of making it becoming is by
means Of the snarkle of pailettes and

Silver sequins combined with black jet

result. A certain grande dame with
gray hair is superb IN this combination.

Greenville Bought Enough Liquo,

While tho official figures cannot
be obtained, the grand jury which
is now investigating the county
dispensaries, has the amount of
the total sales of whiskey in the
city Of Greenville for the fiscal
year, which closed on August l,
and 1t is understood that the
amount Is more than S155, 900.
This includes the three whiskey

also make enormous sales.

developed situation that was
extremely unfortunate, As it was
entirely unnecessary. The effort
was made ny the president Of the

former Senator Nc Laurln from
speaking and the effort was parti-

sident announced that if McLaurin
spoke II Nould not be with his

Salu ln0C nc had been denied by
the president the courtesy of
making an announcements, which
he would make after tho meeting.
He referred to what MIR. McLour-
in had done for the Cotton as.
sociation and his mastery Of the
subject of cotton.
Mr.. Archer reiterated his
position.
Mr.. E. u. Smith said he want.
ed, as president of the association,
to defend his position. This is
non.politlcal organization and from
the nature of the case must be.
He had insisted that politics should
not be discussed at these meet
ings, but, said he, "I have no
right to say to any man before
you Join this organization you
must promise not to run fol of
fice.' He would be fool to DO
that and | would be fool to ask
him to do it." Any citizen in
terested is free to come in and TO
speak at these meetings.

the text it was all right but if he

left also but whether their dcpar-

Both reasons were probably
