Sleeves.

How much the fashion OF a dress depends
upon a sleeve-that is, the correct" fash.
ion! The cut of a sleeve can stamp
gown as Of yesterday or today. and the i'm
portance, therefore. of having none but an
up-to-date model is obvious The short
puff sleeve has no rival for the time, and
worn. with long gloves there is nothing
gloves the short sleeve is trying to the
lower part of the arm unless this happens
to be particularly pretty In form. little
ruse therefore, that may be adopted Ia TO
make the sleeve of day blouse full and
longer by four or FIVE inches than the ell
bow, gathering 1t into cuff which can be
unbuttoned and allow the sleeve to be
pushed up as far as the elbow where, wher,
worn for out of doors;-it Is met by d long
glove and presents the smart appearance Of
the short sleeve. When worn indoors how
ever. the sleeve can be dropped and cover
the lower, part Of the arm, the cuff being
buttoned at the wrist. In the reign OF
Queen Elizabeth sleeves were, OF course, a
very elaborate article Of dress. being sep
arate from the rest of the apparel, so that
they could be changed at pleasure They
were OF every possible Variety of material
and work, from gold tissue embroidered
with pearls and diamonds to plain silk or
cambria wrought with silver. The habit of
having sleeves detached explains the GUS

Neapohtan crop, and though many Of the
trees recovered enough strength to put forth
fresh leaves this year they had not the
strength to bear fruit but by having rested
they will be all the better next year so
that the crop of 1907 may be expected to
reach high level of abundance and quail
Wy. Last year, too, the fragrant lemon
groves of the French Riviera were "un-
timely nipped l. tn bud The valleys
showed the black and leafiess skeletons of
trees that should have been In leaf and
blossom and many of them, shriveled past
recovery, had to be uprooted
The Neapolitan lemons are the finest Of
all and come when they are most wanted
not nature regulates their maturity. In
certain districts in Italy, particularly in
MAORI, they are grown on estates which
once belonged and some of which still be-
long, to the ancient nobility of the land
who in restless political times lived on their
estates outside the city and cultivated
lemon groves as part of the elegancies Of
their pleasure gardens.
Here the trees are not allowed to grow
beyond six or seven feet in height and the
ripening of fruit is artifcially retarded by
