SLEEVES.

How much the fashion of a dress de-
rect" fashion! The cut of a sleeve can
stamp gown as Of yesterday or to-
day, and the Importance, 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 smarter.
But without the influence of gloves the
short sleeve is trying to the lower part
or the arm unless this happens to be
particularly pretty in form. A little
ruse, therefore, that may be adopted is
to make the sleeve of day blouse full
and longer by four or five inches than
the elbow, gathering it into cuff,
which can be unbuttoned and allow the
sleeve to be pushed up as far as the
elbow, where, when worn for out OF
doors, it is met by a long glove and
presents the smart appearance of the
short sleeves. When worn indoors,
however, 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 artf-
Gle of dress, being separate 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 ex-
plains the custom, prevalent in chiV-
alrous times. of a fair damsel bestow-

To make rubber shoes wear longer,
from the tops of old rubber shoes cut
pieces the shape of a heel. Smear these
pieces on the lining side with thick

the rubber from receiving the direct
pressure of the boot heels. and can be
renewed when they show the least

melt the alum over an intense heat,

Too little attention is generally given
to the hanging of pictures. They should
be hung as nearly vertical fiat against

The best effect is given by using two

wire appear instead Of the triangular
piece, resulting when but one hood IS
used. The effect is more restfuI in a
room where the pictures are hung ve--

PEOPLE PRIMARY ELECTION
LAWS IS PASSED
FIRST ELECTION IN AUGUST
Provisions for Strong Railroad and
Corporation Laws Reported.

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 22-The pri-
mary committee true to the promises
made IN the last campaign by the
democratic party, has reported a
mandatory primary ordinance to gov
ern the first nomination for officers
in the state. This primary viii be
held early in June, probably the first
Saturday and only applies to this
date as the ordinance becomes mop
erative and not a part Of the consti-
tuition after this time has elapsed.
The republican party may not see
fit to pay any attention to this Law as
it is not the policy Of that party to
allow the people, as a whole, to have a
voice in their nominations.
The expenses Of the primary will
be paid by contributions from the diff
ferent candidates. The democratic
party believes in bringing the rule
Of the state directly home to the peo-
pie. The constitution will also con-
tain a clause which will provide that
the first legislature shall pass a man
datory blanket primary law for the
nomination Of all candidates by all
parties Of the new state on a given
date. The expenses Of this primary
to be paid by the state. In making this
provision, the democratic majority
has met the well defined demand Of
the people that shey shall nominate
the officers Of the state, including
United States senators by direct vote
This is one Of the most important
platform pledges that has been re-
deemed by the party in the conyen'
zion.
