was seated one evening in the
warehouse OF a friend in the quaint
old town of Newberne, North Caro-
lima. On the opposite side of the
street was an African church in which
a revival meeting was being held.
From the partly opened windows
came the sound of shouts and the
usual melodies of the colored race.
Suddenly the door opened and three
young colored women emerged there
from. The one in the middle was be-
ing supported by her companions on
either side and her arms were swing
ing in the air, and as they walked
along the street she shouted in wild
emotion something that sounded like
Got salvation, FOun' my Savior!
Hol' onto my Lawdi" and was led
away by her friends. Cleaning up the
Office in the corner of the warehouse
was an old colored women. Turning
to her I said: "Auntie, what is the

why, bless your soul, chile." Aun-
tie responded quickly, don't you
know what's the matter with her?
Why, she's got 'iigion! But she ain t

but she got it again.
How did she get it again."

Old STYLES in Sleeves.

Sleeves are the most talked of fea-
ture of the new spring designs. They
differ radically from the sleeves OF
last season in having the puff always
at the upper, rather than the lower,
part Deep cuffs are also much in
evidence and elbow sleeves. full and
fluffy, are never to be more popular.
The old-fashioned mousquetaire
sleeve, made famous by Bernhardt, is
TO be worn again. It's leg O mutton

new models and it fits the arm rather
closely its whole length. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that this sleeve is

Rroner Ihinn in Sleeves.

A word as to details. The sleeve OF
the moment is either one of two styles
"a large bishop to the elbow, set into
a long, easily fitted sleeve over the
under arm; in separate blouses or
shirt waists this is buttoned close to
wrist, but in the walking suit blouse
it is sufficiently easy to admit of an
other sleeve beneath, if the weather
or occasion makes this desirable. The
still more popular leg o mutton sleeve
is now rarely plain fitting; it is full
in its length. and, though cut to the
arm below the elbow. is quite easy,
often gathered or plated along the
inner seam above and wide enough to
need no buttons. In both these pat
terms of sleeves the cuff extends well
over the hand.

Belts.

Deep belts have taken an upward
turn in the back, where in some ex-
aggerated instances they reach in two
sharp points almost to the shoulders.
The downward droop at the front is
no less exaggerated. The Victorian
.corslet is the newest effect 1t is
made of soft finished taffeta or other
soft silk and is very wide. In front
the deep point is stiffened, and at the
back, there is a deep shaped buckle.
The front is or inches deep and is
rounded at the top where it is Dor
dered with ruching and otherwise dec
GRATED. Pompadour silk is used for
these belts. Many of the high girdles
when of plain velvet or silk, are often
elaborated with jewelled buttons or
tiny bows.

With in Life.
Never climb a hill until YOU get to
it, advises a writer in Medical Talk
for the Home. We remember as child
rem that in riding through the country
we had dread of high hills. How
often we saw far ahead of us, on the
road, formidable looking hill. How
high and rough and steep it looked.
and how we feared it. How hard it
would be for the horse to carry us up
such a hill. We were sure he would
slip and fall and maybe upset the
carriage and so, with the greatest APP
prehension, we would approach the
dreadful hill. But how surprised we
were as we came nearer to find the
hill receding, growing flatter, and real
ly no hill at all when we reached the
point that seemed so high and craggy
and dangerous.
So it is with many of life's perpexi-
ties. How darkly they loom up before
us, what a black pail they spread
around us. But when we get close. up
TO them they have vanished entirely.
We spoil SO much OF life in fear and
foreboding. We let slip the beautiful
moments that are ours and spoil them
by dreading the moments of the future
with which we have nothing to do.
We ride over the nice, level country,
forgetting its beauty, unmindful of it's
delight. dreading the hill that never
comes.
