nized as favorite model and is chosen for all
sorts Of garments from negligee to ball gowns.
The various cape and cap-like pieces offer many
pleasing possibilities in the way of their cut
and decorationl
Newer than the sashed sleeve hanging straight
from the shoulder is the one cut off diagonally,
being shorter in front than in back, and which
barely touches the centre of the upper arm. An
other attractive edition of the cape model is
that with pointed or handkerchief corners; us
ually decorated with tassels or other similar
garnitue. This style sleeve is seen among the
handsomest of the imported evening gowns.
THE PUFFED SLEEVE.
A single puff reaching to the elbow or midway
on the upper arm with or without a twist of
velvet or chiffon, is extremely fashionable for
formal evening wear. The puff reaching the ell
bow is usually supplemented by small under
sleeve for afternoon wear, and frill of lace al
ways hides the elbow; for it is the height of
vulgarity to allow the bare elbow to peep out
The gloves should at all times be long enough
and then secured by the new fancy pins to the
sleeves.
The fullness of the puff is concentrated at the
elbow not the shoulder, as formerly, so that the
natural shoulder line is apparent, and the folds
sweep away to the elbow, growing larger as they
co. Undersleeves are made just to cover the ell
bow and extend for several inches below it, or
to drop three-quarter or full length, extending
over and closely fitting the wrist The short puff
sleeve however, is seen at its best when grace
full termination of lace and chiffon finish it
and little undersleeve extends down about three
inches, where it is met by the long gloves
series of puffs are often shown alternating

IGsNNM| is the custom followed by. some flower
lovers to start at that time and plant
few bulbs every week or so, and in this man
ner they are insured of constant showing of
blossoms.
The most popular bulb of all this great family
of rapid boomers is the Chinese sacred lily 1t
may not be generally known that this famous Joss
flower belongs to the narcassus family, and the
knowledge is sure to lend to the satisfactory eX
periments with these various bulbs that will re-
suit in the most delightful of holiday gifts.
To have the Chinese Lily at its best it must
be started into growth, in its dish of pebbles and
water until about three weeks before it is desired
to have them in bloom, it requires only twenty
four days of development before the buds begin
to Open if it can be given plenty of sunlight,
otherwise twenty-eight or thirty days should be
allowed for developing the bloom stalks
1t was a sweet-faced old lady, phianthropical-
ly inclined, who gave me the sage advice below,
and, as she is widely known for her successful
ventures in window and conservatory gardening,
and especially among the bulbs, which she de-
lights to start into bloom at intervals all through
the winter months, to gladden. the hearts OF her
friends with occasional tokens of floral remem-
brance.
Its the most delightful pastime to start these
bulbs into growth and watch their rapid develop

"This is all the paraphernalia required" she

dainty rustic tabourette standing beside it, on
which were grouped the basket of bulbs, pan OF
potting soil, with the various pots, and bits Of
broken crockery for arranging the drainage II

the surface with knife, and arrange the bull

Vinegar should be used with caution, as it
leaves a stain in some delicately colored fabrics
1t restores the natural color to faded blue ma
terials, if used in the second rinsing water. 1t
also restores pinks, reds and light green's.
Muriatic acid removes red iron stains without
destroying the most fast colors.
To remove ink, use lemon and salt. 1t will
take the color out of coored materials, so it
good ink eradicator is milk, but it must be used
while the ink is wet. Oxalic acid will also re-
move ink stains. All stains should be removed
before washing.
To preserve dark colors, use oxgall. A little
salt in the water will keep black, blue and green
from fading. Uncolored articles may be soaked
over night. To keep white things from turn
ing yellow, boil them first, then rub gently, blue
and dry in the open air, where there is good,
strong sun.
Chloride of lime will whiten fabrics that have
become yellow, but it should be used with eau
ton, as it also eats them Potash and strong
soda also injurious.
VALUABLE THINGS TO REMEMBER.
Colored things should be washed quickly and
dried quickly. They should not be exposed to
the sun, as the sun will have the effect of fad
ing them In washing fannels, YOU SHOULD use
only lukewarm water. Never use yellow soap
on hannels, as the resin in it is bad for the fan
nes. Instead, make a lather of pure white
soap, and that
ii very soiled, add a tablespoonful of boraz
dissolved in a little hot water to every four gal
Ions of the water, two tabespoonfuls OF
household ammonia, But if the fannels are col
ored. use borax instead of the ammonia, as the
ammonia will fade them.
Do not rub them at all, rubbing will fiat
ten the woody surface and make them hard
Just squeeze them and turn them over and over
and over in the water. Do not leave them in
the water any longer than you can help, if YOU
would prevent their shrinking
When clean, wiring lightly, and rinse in wa
ter of the same temperature as the first water
! Dry quickly without heat, roll, and set aside.
Laces and fine things are better dried in th'
house, as the wind will tear them. They should
be starched in hot water starch, and dried be

with the problem.
OF all changeable things in fashion what is
changeabe and capricious than the sleeve,
and what detail assumes a greater variety of de-
signs in single season? A waist, skirt or coat
will remain fashionable twice as long as a sleeve
thus it easily determines whether a garment is
passe up to date.
A yard or two of extra material is very wise
investment, for by careful treatment gown
that seems doomed by the cut of the sleeves will
do service for another season at least.
Designers love nothing better than to change
the contour of the sleeves, addi lg new touches
and tricks which complcate the matter for the
woman who cannot be held up by passing whims
Sleeves are either growing smaller or larger;
the size and shape of the puffs and the objective
point of concentrating the material are other
queries which are constantly arising
One leading house goes in for small sleeves
that cling to the shape of the arm; rival one
displays large bouffant effects, so happy medium
is the safe rule.
The only practical way of treating the mat
ter by alotting to each class its various lengths

In costumes of a semi-tailored nature the
sleeve usually seen is of threequarter length, full
at the top and rather close fitting at the elbow
topped by fiat cuff
Speaking of cuffs let say that these are
wider than worn during the later summer and
autumn, and assume many novel shapes. WIDE
turnback cuffs are in favor and extend above the
elbow in many of the new models with an un
dersleeve as a finish.

you are afraid that the laundry will spoil them.
If for the latter reason, then you would not care
to have your family laugh at you because you
were either ignorant or so careless as to spoil
them yourself. In either case you do not want
a reputation for ignorance of such things for
this is an accomplishment which every woman is
expected to possess, just as much as she Is ex-
pected to know the alphabet. So you will prob
ably sit up and listen attentively to what l have
to say.
In the first place, you want to use soft water
in which to wash the clothes. Rain water is soft
because it lacks saline matters, but it cannot al
ways be recommended, because it takes up dirt
and SCOT. You can tell whether not the
water you are using is soft by the rapidty with
which YOU can make latheP in it. Soft water
makes lather quickly, and therefore if you use
soft water you do not waste the soap.
To soften the water expose it to the air, or
else boil it, Another good way is to add little
soda, but you must dissolve the soda first in
boiling water it has tendency to burn any
fabric to which it adheres. Borax will also
soften the water and SO will a mixture composed
of lime and soda, diluted with alcohol.
In choosing a soap, you should take into ac-
count the quantity and quality of alkai which
it contains The best and most economical soap
for this purpose is yellow soap, made of palm
oil, resin and soda.
THE ALKALIS IN SOAP.
Alkalis have the power of dissolving dirt and
grease in water, and so of removing them. The
three alkalis in common use are soda, potash
and ammonia. Potash should never be used on
woollen fabric as it makes wool yellow hard
er and less elastic. Ammonia is the least harm
full to woollen goods, as its only undesirable eff
feet upon them is to make them shrink slightly
Soda has the same effect as potash upon wool

But she explained that it is only for the occa-
sional potting OF the holiday bulb that this side
porch rustic arrangement is satisfactory; for the
regular business of the seasons bulb potting there
is nothing so convenient, she assured me, an
old-fashioned roomy washstand, with the antique
arrangement OF two little shelves, secured to the
upright, and generous drawer to hold the knives,
trowels and drainage material for the potted
bulbs, and the pebbles for the water bulbs And,
later, watching her at work, at this convenient
stand, L was convinced of the truth Of her state
ment.
"For potting the bulbs in the soil you must
first arrange the necessary drainage" she eX'
planned, she placed bits of broken crockery or
oyster shells in the bottom of the pot. 1t is not
necessary to fill the pot to a depth of an inch OF
more with this drainage material, as it takes up
too much valuable space-although this method Is
usually recommended little piece of oyster shell
or bit of broken dish arranged in such way
that the soil is kept from clogging up the drain
age hole in the bottom of the pot is all that is
necessary Then fill in the soil firmly and press
the bulb securely in the soil Hyacinths, tulips
and the majority of bulbs planted for winter
blooming should be entirely covered with soil,
but the different varieties of narcssus- which are
often sprouted before planting, and which very
quickly throw up their green shoots, should be
planted with the tips extending well above the
soil
RAPID BLOOMERS.
These bulbs do not require much root room,
and one of the prettiest arrangements is large
pot or hanging basket containing half dozen
or more bulbs of the narcissus, with few tiny
oxalis bulbs planted among the edge to supply
the dropping green, While the masses of bloom
ing oxalis will trail over the Sides the stiff state
ly bloom stalks of the narcissus will erect their
fragrant flowers in the centre of the pot, and
the whole will present one OF the most bewitch,
ingy beautiful and fragrant combinations that
could well be imagined.
Then from the generous depth of the shelved
capacity beneath the drawer of the old wash
stand were brought forth the dainty necessities
for the water bulbs. These consisted of several
round glistening bowls of perfectly smooth glass
large enough TO hold several bulbs of the Chi
nese Sacred Lily, and few little cut glass ar
rangements for single bulb each. The water

contests were not decided by fraud,
and Mr. Bryan knows 1t. Does Mr..
Bryan deny the authority of the DEM
ocratic national invention, which, by
a vote of CAT to 299, confirmed the right
OF the Illinois delegates to their seats?
Those delegates elected me national

The national convention again con-
firned that action.

to seat in the national committee Is
to indict the last national convention

and honestly do this? He cannot If
he expects to accept a presidential
nomination two years hence, for such
a nomination must come from those

ford to accept any nomination, much
less nomination for the presidency,

to be abbettors of high crimes and

Reported Clash Of Factions Over

special land office at that place. One
hundred and twenty-five persons will
file each day, the ones whose names

Under the present arrangements OF

The sensational reports of jobbery in

state Of Wyoming are positively de-
MED by the state authorities.
The purpose was to secure a uniform
system of irrigation and to protect not
destroy the rights of the settlers The
plan was approved by the interior de-
partment. The maximum price of $40
cash per acre for water rights is de-
clared to be reasonable.

SITUATION in MEXICO.
Reports Of Antipathy to Foreigner,
Shown to Be False.

tional reports sent out from Mexico re-
Gently to the effect that an uprising
was scheduled to occur In September;
also tina. the Americans and other
foreigners were TO be driven out APP
pears to have been almost entirely
without foundation. There is pract-
cally no opposition to President Diaz
and his administration, which is friend
ly and fair to all foreigners and for
eign interests. The first intimation
that there was any disturbance or dis
content in Mexico was received from
the United States. Recently there
was a strike OF the mechanics employed
by the Central Railroad Company and
some malcontents have used this as
foundation for starting rumors that the
Mexicans hated all foreigners and that
on the 18th of September there would
be a general uprising against Amer
leans, English, Germans and French
So widespread was the report that the
American ambassador sent out COM
munication to all the consular agents
in Mexico asking their opinion. The
replies uniformly denied any i'll feeling
against foreigners and those who live
here feel no danger whatever.

acy commission in the case Of the Rev.
C. Stuart Balm, the Baptist minister
who destroyed his own church by fire
last spring, yesterday declared him
insane. He was committed to The Mat

The report of the commission shows
that Balm had led remarkable dual
life. While student in the theological
seminary at Belfast Ireland, thirty
years ago. he was arrested for theft,
and committed to an insane asylum.
A year after his discharge his mother
sent him to this country. In 1887
he commenced a course Of study at the
Mccormick Theological seminary in
Chicago He entered the ministry in
1889 and for the next twelve years his
life was shown to be a record Of in
tense religious fervor, interrupted at
irregular intervals by lapses into de-
bauchery of the lowest type.
He was deposed from the ministry.

York and lived life of dissipation.
In 1905 he again was in a deeply re-
ligious state, and a Baptist clergyman
officiating in Newburg, N. Y. His re-
formation is said to have been due to
the influence of women who found
him on Summing tour.

cHAsEs MAN AROUND WORLD.
Pauline Coska Finally Marries Him
in Connecticut.

GMeriden, Conn, Aug. 15.-Pauline
Coska, who followed Frank S1Imboroka
almost all the way around the world
to make him marry her, after he had
backed out of the ceremony that was
arranged for them at Chicago, secur-
ed an accomplishment Of her desires
today when the couple was married
by Judge lF'enn of the city court.
Frank got away just before the GER
emony in the Illinois city and went
to California. The girl, who was
greatly Inundated by her desertion,
followed him The man kept on across
the Pacific, with the girl close on his
trail At Trieste, Austria, where both
were born, she was only few days
behind, but he had started for the
western coast of Europe, and soon
sailed for this country again, COM
ing in by way of New York.
The girl kept ON, and upon reach
ing New York, learned Frank had
come to Meriden. She soon traced
him. She quietly secured a marriage
license; them, hunting up the police,
told her story. They, with ready
sympathy, brought the man to the
court room, where he was told he
ought to marry Pauline. He finally
consented and the knot was tied.
THE couple left Immediately for Chi
cago, where the happy bride feels she
can now face her friends with the
knowledge that her chase was success
