nothing more effective than to insert
a filmy puff of chiffon, or some fine

OF the sleeve as 1t is If 1t is full enough

as the sleeve. Finish this cuff with
lace or gold braid. Use the best por-

which should be trimmed the same
as the turnback cuff. Now, between
the two cuffs put in an airy puff Of
chiffon or lace, and make the pun so
that it will have a rather dropping

through this transparent pun. and the
sleeve cannot fall to have a very new
look.-Grace Margaret Gould in Wo-

The fashionable street suit is the

and is undeniably elegant 1t is made
up in delicate tones and it is the suit
that will be seen at Easter end at all
times when broadcloth is appropriate.
A practical coat for spring is the
heavy long straight cloth coat which
can be worn some time yet and kept
for driving and automobiling all sum-
mer. These long cloaks resemble the
automobile cloaks of few seasons
ago, except that they are little more
modern in cut. The shoulders are
fuller, the collar is wider, the skirts
are fuller, and the bust sets snugger
The differences are trining, yet one
notices them at a glance. 1t is strange
how the styles go out and how old
fashioned one looks in the snug little
coat Of five years ago.

Miss Jeffrey's Rest Spell.


Miss Ellis Jeffreys, the English ac-
tress. is unusually popular with the so
ciety folk In New York, who delight to
entertain prominent players, and she
found her time much taken up in con
sequence.
On one occasion, while she was play
ing In Days. change in her company
was about to be made. and 1t became
necessary that she should attend early
morning rehearsals. For a week pre-
Viously she had been leaving immedl-
ately after the performance each eve
ming and attending one or another Of
the social functions that were being
given In her honor. Then she was
forced to arise at 8 each morning in
order that she might be at the theater
by l0:30. and It required all her moral
courage TO arise after three OF four
hours rest.
II was no use TO complain, for 1t
had TO be done. She could not prove
ungrateful to her friends, for an ac-
tress must make all the new friends
she can and still keep the old ones.
She could not neglect her work, OF
course, and II was absolutely neces-
sary that rehearsals should 20 for

and called the rehearsal All re-
