May Ignore Davis Trophy.

NEW YORK, February pa COM
mittee. appointed by the United States
Lawn Tennis Association at Its last an
nual meeting, will decide the matter of
sending team to Australia to try for
the Davis international cup this year.
The general opinion appeared to be that
it would be difficult to secure first-class
players willing to lose the four months
that would be consumed in a journey to
the antipodes and back, and that il would
be better to let England win back the
trophy, if possible. and then endeavor TO
wrest it from that country.

Excellent Rowing Material.

From present indications Georgetown
has the best rowing material this year
that has appeared at the university for a
number of seasons. a good coach who has
the reputation of turning out champions
and a captain and stroke who has been
headed In a race under two miles but
once in the last three years. and that
race In his freshman year. the first time
the captain ever sat In a shell.
The Blue and Gray has had two Fights
out the past week, and the coach will
have another out this week. The preps
were out Friday and yesterday, and are
a husky set of men.
This will be the first time in the his
tory OF the university that a spring class
regatta has been held on the Potomac. Its
object is to induce candidates to get out
on the river earlier than usual and to
reward the men for faithful work On the
machines. The gold medals for toe
winning crew have been put on exhibition
at the college. The officials will be an
nounced later.

SLEEVES SAVE THE GOWN.
Change in Style Frequently Makes En-
tireIy Original Model.

Much of the trouble in making a
gown look well lies in the sleeves.
Often one can change a dress, which
is old style or which one thinks not
becoming, into an entirely different
style of dress by remodeling or putting
in entirely new sleeves. Luckily for
those who have to wear their evening
frocks two seasons, the sleeves can be
taken out and new ones put in, which
do not have to match the rest of the
gown except for color. The sleeve can
be literally made of nothing; 1t Is not
necessary in the least that 1t be like
the frock; 1t can be different, SO long
as 1t is more or less the same color as
the trimmings of the gown.
A net, voile, silk, or cashmere dress
can be remodeled with sleeve made
entirely of lace and chiffon. The
foundation is cut smaller than the
usual dress sleeve at the top and this
upper portion is covered with eight
rows of lace, about three-quarters or
an inch wide and the rows sewed
close on top of each other, the edging
of one Just covering the top edge Of
the row below it. The lower part of
the sleeve is full circular piece which
is made of chiffon and is trimmed with
successive rows of the lace. The lace
in this case should be sewed on an
inch or an inch and half apart.

Burton II. Barnes. a wealthy American

daughter of the Paolis. from the muir
derous vendetta, understanding that his
reward is to be the hand OF the girl he
loves. Enid Anstruther. sister of the Eng

clio to Marseilles on board the French
steamer Constantine. The vendetta pur-
sues and as the quartet are about TO
board the train for London at Marseilles.
Marina is handed mysterious note
which causes her to collapse and necessi-
tates a postponement of the journey.
Barnes gets part of the mysterious note
and receives letters which inform him
that he is marked by the vendetta. He
employs an American detective and plans
to beat the vendetta at their own game.

Edwin.
Now the best way to do it?"
Over this they hold consultation, and
the result is that next morning when
they are off Porto Ferrajo. still finding
the felucca in sight, they take the fol-
lowing action: That day, sailing well
beyond the famed island of Monte
Cristo. the night coming on dark and

on the vessel and turns about, and the
next morning, piloted by Graham, who
knows this sea, they are alone at an

Fancy Work Apron.

A most convenient apron and one
which is charmingly dainty and neat
is made of an oblong OF white lawn.
Both ends of the apron are first
hemIned with a half an inch hem. to
which lace is sewed, slightly fulled.
One end is then turned up so as to
form a pocket. Both sides of the
apron are sewed to the sides of the
turned up portion. Three pockets are
made from this large one, by dividing
the width of the apron into three equal
parts and stitching on the lines, from
the top to the lower edge of the
turned up part. These seams, as well
as the side seams, have a pretty fin
ished look If they are neatly cat
stitched or feather-stitched. Ribbon
half inch wide is then run through
the top hem of the apron and through
the hem at the top of the turned-up
part. The ribbon which is run through
the top hem is used to tie around the
waist
