We have heard since the summer
season great deal about the WAR
on Sleeves but if this war still con-
tinues it must be fought with the
winds for there are no longer two
sides to the question; short sleeves
except for evening wear-are now,
practically, nonresident, and for one
three-quarter-length sleeve we find
three full-lengths. For afternoon cos.
times, TO be worn on occasions OF GER
emony, we find the three-quarter-
length sleeve very much used, but all
the coat sleeves are long or are worn
over blouses, or bodices, which show
the tight sleeve reaching tor over
the wrist. Most women will find the
long, rucked-up sleeves very becom-
ing. and some dressmakers insist on
mounting them on tight lining, but
my personal taste is all against this
plan. The sleeve will wear much bet
ter if lined, but then it will never look
so smart and pretty as the sleeves
which are made of supple material
and allowed to push up against the
arm, like a mousquetaire glove. In
point Esprit-for evening wear
these sleeves are delightful, and the
upper part, from the shoulder to just
above the elbow should be compare
lively full so that the net may fall in
soft folds From elbow to wrist the
sleeve should then be gathered on the
inner seam and fastened with tiny
hooks and eyes-the piece extending
over the wrist being shaped like a
small bell and allowed to reach the
knuckles. A black taffetas blouse
with sleeves of this order is de

find numbers of small tassels intro

a cluster of leaves. Tassels-and oil
the most beautiful kind-are enjoying
field days this winter and on the

SPENT FREELY in PROSPERITY.
Spectator Scorned to Make Provision
for Lean Years.

The late Townsend Percy, spocu-
lator and promoter, who made and lost
more than one fortune in the course
of his life, used to be fond of repeating
some of his mothers witticisms at his
expense, generally brought about by
his eXtravagances during his periods
of prosperity. Once Percy had driven
four-in-hand for year, when an I'M
fortunate deal" made it necessary for
him to reduce expenditures and sell
his horses, on which occasion she said
to him.
Townsend, don't you think that it
would be better to drive one horse
four years, instead of four horses one
year?"
Another time, when on the verge of
financial crash, Percy still owned a
considerable stable, and gave no out
ward sign of pecuniary embarrass-
ment. His mother met an old friend
of the family about this period, who
congratulated her on her sons sue
cess in life. Il am glad that Townsend
is doing SO well" said the friend.
Yes, indeed" remarked the old
lady. Townsend has six horses and
seven carriages and eight dollars. =

Mr.. Miller obtained the cradle from

of age, She was the mother of ten
children and each one had been car
ried on her back or swung from a
tree limb in the little wooden cradle.
The cradle was inherited from her
mother, and she and her brothers and
sisters had also been reared in it.
The handle is of hickory and is
peculiarly formed, the formation be-
ing the result of the three-fold pur'
pose to which it was put in the
northern wilds over a century ago.
First, it was used for carrying the
cradle and the little red papoose.
Again, in case of an accident, ii

and striking on it's face.
In the third instance, when the
mother had to attend to her house

tree and to keep the little one con
tented, she would hang on this handle
