"MLLE. SALLlE" PLEASES
AUDIENCE AT NATIONAL

John Slaviu tripped In on the Ma

utes later was followed by that clever
little English coincidence, Katie Barry.
Through them and a capable company,
Mile SaIlie." a new musical comedy,
was first disclosed 10 a Washington
audience.
Robert b. Smith is credited with the
hook and lyrics, while Raymond uab-
bell, whose tuneful score OF "Fautana"
is still fresh in ones mind, has fur
nished the music.

audiences have seen Slayin, but II need

ROAD TARRlNG.
It Is Carried on on a Large Scale In
France.

R%oad-tarring on a large scale has
been seer in France during the prep
aration for the Grand Prix race. The
tarring is carried out on the Lassail-
ly system by the use Of the most i'm
proved apparatus for heating the tar
and applying 1t to the surface Of the
road. Commenced on the 25th of May,
the operation lasted scarcely ten days
for the 100000 square yards which
were covered, employing two gangs,
each made up Of six drivers and eight
horses, together with eight men for
spreading the tar, counting the men
needed for sanding the road after the
tarring. A fine road is the result of
this operation, says the Scientific
American, and it shows that by the
use of the proper apparatus a large
extent of road can be treated within
a short time and with a small amount
Of labor. At the last moment the OK.
cess of sand which covers the layer of
tar will be swept off by the four
sweeper wagons employed by M. Las.
sally, when the cars will be able to
run under ideal conditions. Such a
process, far from being an extra ex
pense, is now recognized as an actual
economy, seeing that the cost of keep
ing up the road becomes much less
and this pays for the tarring ex
penses, and may even exceed the lat
ter, as has been found during a Ions
series Of observations made in France

Hints by Which the Home Dressmaker
May Profit-Some Novelties
Among Those De-

The best way for the home dress
maker to give distinction to her fall
gowns is by the design of her sleeves.
Below will be found four of the best

quetaire sleeve, trimmed with buttons
and braid, and the very full sleeve,
with the material set in box plaits
and tied over the elbow with a huge
knot Of ribbon, says the New York
World.
The sleeves shown in the illustration
are described as follows:
1. Long full sleeve with deep cava-
lier cuffs, to be worn with morning
gowns, house dresses, separate silk
waist, or where long sleeves are re-
quired. The cuffs can be made Of
odds and ends of lace carefully joined
or of one good piece of embroidery.
2. All over lace undersleeve with
cape of the same material as the
dress. The sleeve forms one large
puff and a smaller n coming we'll
over the elbow.
8. Three-quarter length sleeve for
coats and jackets, the fulness at the
shoulder and tight-fitting round the
lower part of the arm. The sleeve
itself is of cloth with stitched band
around the cuff and running up the
side of the sleeve. The bands are
edged with tiny buttons. The cuff IL
finished with ruffles of finely plated
cambria.
