Short and Long Sleeve.

Notwithstanding that long sleeves
Aave been declared modish for all
but ball gowns, one sees short sleeves
In the majority of theatre frocks, and
there is no gainsaying the fact that
they are prettier, their grace en-
nanced by the long glove ripping to
above the elbow. The short glove is
really hideous in the evening. and
long sleeves do not convey the idea
Of full dress, no matter how elabor-
ately made nor of what sheer mate
rails. 1t is encouraging to see that
American women have the independ-
ence to revert to what is becoming
and graceful, rather than to follow,
sheeplike, wherever French makers
choose to lead

THE PATHFINDERs.

Over the hills fly the schoolboys' kites:
The wlndmills signal to cloud and storm !;
Keen are the blasts on the outer heights,
y But the heart Of the earth is warm.
Down in the valleys the grandsires doze
Round their logwood hearths; each gray
beard knows
That his barns are filed and the days
work done;
In the vaults is boarded his gold hard-won !;
( The roads are dug that his sons may ride,
And the CRIME Of the struggle put aside
"We planted our towns, we "Fostered
The elders tell eve journeys made
By chartless plains and seas, and brought
Earth,s trophies home, We toiled and
fought
That Law might stand" aWe took the
weak
To shelter, taught The wronged to speak Z
And one peers out where Ger the hills
The star its evening rite fulfills.
And we, he murmurs, keep alight
The lamps of faith, of love, Of right;
Through every valley that we go
They greet us in the easements glow;
At dawn, at sunsets touch of fire
They speak from chimney, roof and spire
The schoolboys tug at their broken kites;
The windmills groan in the grip of the
storm;
Keen are the blasts on the outer heights,
But the heart Of the earth is warm.

The waist is made with the fitted
lining, which is optional with the
front and back portions. 1t is tucked
on indicated lines. When the lining
Is used it is faced to form the chemi-
settle, but when it is omitted this lat
ter is attached to the blouse, the
joining being concealed by the trim
ming. When finished at the Empire
waist line the waist is cut off to the
necessary depth, and can either be
worn with the skirt illustrated or
with any similar one. When extend

lures only the usual finish of any
pretty belt or girdle. Both sleeves
are cut in one piece each.

I'M Stripes.

For two years the combination of
self-toned stripes or those of solid,
harmonizing colors has been a COM
monplace design. Now we have a
new thing in stripes. Next to one of
solid color is another one of plaid.
Each is about two inches wide. The
material in which it is brought out
most conspicuously is called pliss. 1t
is quite soft, and the introduction of
this plaid stripe is not as Earring as
it sounds. 1t makes up prettily for
house gowns.

trimmed with insertions or finished
in any way that may suit the indi-

ton crepe or similar material is util-
lied, the sleeves can be inset with in

similar way, and trimmed sleeves
make a feature of the more dressy
waists, although the simpler ones
are made quite plain and severe.
The waist is made with front and
backs. There are tucks over the
shoulders, and the neck is finished
with a neck band. 1t can be worn
with regulation collars of theamate'

the plain sleeves and the regulation
