Mousquetaire sleeves of heavy MI
lanese silk are in vogue. They are in
fourteen and sixteen button lengths
and have embroidered tops.
Millinery oddities include an un-
curled white ostrich demi-plume, the
quill covered with strip of feather
from the peacock's s breast.
Ends of sashes are fringed or tas-
selled or finished with whimsical
knottings and balls which hang from
long cords in irregular lines.
Wide bands of pretty embroideries
are inserted in some sleeves from the
collar and shoulders of the gown, con-
tinuing down as far as the elbow.
Rafia swagger bags with open
pockets each side the centre frame
are trimmed with colored leather and
have leather straps of the same tone.
White stockings or stockings
matching frock or hat are worn with
black shoes, and the colored stock
ings are often associated with white
shoes.
The chief point of difference in
new fashions over those worn a few
months ago is in the increased width
of the skirt and an accompanying
smaller waist line.
The draping of the sash is the last
touch of smartness. However the
sash is treated it must be tied low,
whether it ends at the side, the back,
or the front.
Sleeves cut in one with the rest of
the bodice are to be seen on some of
the newest models from Paris, and
they are so cut and modelled that no
armhole seam appears.

Why Women Marry.

The college woman or the edu-
Gated woman, does not fail to marry
because of any abnormality, but be-
cause she is too normal. We yearn
for and demand anothed atmosphere.
When the day is done, and the truce
of darkness falls over the earth, and
we sheathe our weapons and furl
our battle-fags, we long for peace
and pleasure. We have agoniZed,
we have made agony one of our
changes of garments; and we do not
wish to have the mental struggle and
attrition carried into the home. 1t
is not necessary that the educated
woman should fail in these things
if truly educated, she would not so
fail. She could give us counsel and
support in the warfare of life, but
she could not give us-what we most
need-the love and charm that
would lure us for some hours of
happiness from these sordid market
places and the stained arenas of our
daily strife. The reason why certain
women do not marry-to say 1t
bluntly-is that they do not know
why men marry-they do not know
their own powers of charm, and what
it is in them that appeals to and ex-;
halts of man.-Columbia State.

German Household Economy.

The American consul at Nurem-
berg reports on an interesting stat
istical study of household economy
in Germany. In the report considered
the government took into account
S52 families. the heads. of which
were asked to keep careful account
of the wage income from all sources
and the outgo for the period cover
ed by the study.
The total annual income was
$444,5O1, and the total expenditures
$453,0O5, leaving a deficit of more
than $4,000 at the end of the year.
For skilled industrial workmen
the annual average income in Ger
many, among the families considered,
was found to be s448. The average
income for all the families in the
reckoning was $521.70, while aver
age expenditures amounted to $531.-
60, which left each family owing ap-
,proximately $40 at the end of the
year.
When it is considered that these
averages may be accepted as the
averages for the better class of wage
earners in Germany it would seem
that, so far as the matter of compari-
son is concerned, the average Ameri-
can wage-earner, whether skilled or
unskilled, has little about which to
complain. The showing in Germany
is more remarkable on account of
the difference between earnings and
expenditures, and suggests the need
of larger incomes or greater econo-
my in household affairs, else wage
earners in Germany will soon find
themselves burdened by growing
debt which they cannot hope to over
take.

Waste of Energy.

In antebellum days Colonel Moore,
of Kentucky, owned large number
of slaves. He was a kind master and
never punished with the whip. One
day one of the field hands named
Jupe was guilty of some negligence
and was sent to the woods at once to
cut down and split up black gum
tree, practically an impossible task.
Jupe cut down the tree and labor
ed hard to splitsthe tough wood, but
in vain. In the meantime thunder
storm came up and Jupe sought ref
uge under brush heap. Directly
the lightning struck a large poplar
near by, splitting it into kindling
wood.
After the storm had passed Jupe
crawled out from his place of
security and, after taking a careful
look at the remains of the poplar
tree, which was scattered all over
the woods, said; 'fMr Lightnin',
wish you had just tried yo' han on
dis black gum. Any blame fool can
split a poplar! r!"-Cleveland Leader.

A DecOY.

Asa Paine, vice-president Of the
American Automobile Association,
said in st. Augustine of the automo-
bile industry:
Cars are now made to last. The
rich man no longer finds his 1907 car
unfashionable, like his 1907 coat, in
1909.
cat the beginning of the industry
car was antiquated in no time-so
antiquated that people laughed at it.
''They tell story in Detroit about
a dealer who had, in 1900, an anti-
quated 1895 car. He tried "ainly to
sell this car. He put lower ana lower
price tags on it-s1O0, $50, S1O-and
finally he put on tag to the effect
that the car was to be given away.
Even then there were no takers.
so one evening, desperate, the
dealer left the 1905 car in a vacant
lot beside his shop, hoping that some
one would steal it in the night But
when he came down to work the next
morning, not only was the old car
still there, but another one of similar
pattern had been placed beside it.. -

THE LATEST SKIRT.

The very newest Paris idea, the
lavendiere skirt, has a tunic appar-
emily turned up in a few graceful
folds just above the knees; coming
down almost to meet this drapery is
the long corsage, which over the hips
is very tight-ftting, cuirasslike.
These new corsages resemble the
jerseys of some years ago. They fiji
as closely to the figure, but are diff
ferent in that the figure itself is not
the same. Old pictures of Mrs. Lang
try (who introduced the jersey) show
a tiny waist and a sudden fullness OF
the hips, whereas the new form OF
cuirass resembles in outline the prin-
cess robe of the present day.
1t is nodded over the present fash
ionable corset, which suppresess the
hips as far as possible, and makes the
waist line a graceful but slight curve
set just little higher than the natur-
al point, instead of giving the con-
siderable angle at the hips of the old
fashioned long and close-ftting jer-
sey bodice. In the new gowns, as in
the original jersey, the underskirt is
laid in pleats, but now these cling
closely to the form.-Illustrated Lon
