LENGTH OF BLOUSE SLEEVES.

reader Of Women's interests asks
about the correct length Of blouse sleeves.
The question is timely one, and the an
swer Is that they will be Of an appropriate
length. In other words, the style Of the
blouse will determine the length of the
sleeve. Tailored blouses will have long
sleeves; lingerie blouses, elbow length. The
iron bound rule for sleeves Is that the
long shoulder effect be given either by the
cut of the blouse proper or the fashion of
the sleeve itself. In the strictly tailored
blouse the dropping effect will be gained by
plaits and a long shoulder seam rather
than by the real kimono or cape sleeve,
which for laundry purposes would be awk-
ward and not particularly appropriate with
a severe bodice.

AUTOS AT A COYOTE DRIVE.
California Hunt Not as Successful as
Had Been Hoped For.

A large crowd of San Joaquin coun-
ty residents assembled at the Boil
linger ranch, in the eastern part of
the county, and enjoyed a coyote
drive, which was not as destructive
as the people of that district hoped
for. as the animals kept out of sight
and only a few were killed. OF late
the coyotes have been killing sheep,
pigs and chickens. The scarcity OF
dead animals has caused the coyotes
to invade the ranches and give the
farmer a lot Of trouble. As a general
rule. these animals seldom attack
stock. but when driven to starvation
they become bold.
It was with the hope that a large
number would be killed that a general
invitation was extended to the people
to assemble and make a roundup. All
kinds of vehicles, from the old fash
toned top buggy to the latest In au
tomobiles, were in evidence, and many
men appeared on horseback and join
ed the chase. One drive was made In
the forenoon and another in the aft
ernoon, lunch being served between
the W trips, Later another effort Will
be made to exterminate the trouble
some animals.
