Sleeves are always an important part
of a dress, but it very often happens
That these details receive less consider
alton than they deserve, with the result
that the success of the garment as a
whole is not as great as it otherwise
would have been.
The woman who possesses good arms
should rejoice in the first and second
sleeves sketched, for in both instances,
but particularly in the latter, is a we'll
shaped arm displayed to advantage.
The first is outlined with a faint trac-
ing Of embroidery and is edged with a
chenille fringe, strands of the same
material being used for the lacing
which holds the sleeve together. The
second is a splendid idea where ones
material has run short, as is so often
the case where sale remnants are con-
cerned, for this sleeve is composed sole
ly of three short lengths of soft satin
ribbon, knotted in the centre, where
each may be caught with a tiny paste
slide or fancy button. The ribbons are,
of course, Joined beneath the arm.

She Wants to Speak to Him.

My Dear Miss Doom:
I am a girl of Is and go to High
School. Every morning I meet a young
man who works IN a bank, and he
always stares at me. He knows who
1 am. as he is acquainted with friends
of mine. and I know all about him. His
people are very nice and he works in a
bank. Some days 1 can hardly keep
from smiling when We meet, as I feel
just as If I knew him. One day he
raised his hat. Do you think it would
be wrong to speak to him. l do not
mean to firt, as it does not seem ike
flirting. l met his sister one time at a
party. ANXIOUS.
You ought to find it easy to have
some one introduce him to you, since
you know so many persons who know
him. If you spoke to him without an
introduction you would regret 1t. How
would you like to have him go home
and remark to his sister that you did
not seem to be a very particular sort
of girl, because you scraped acquaint-
ance with people you met on the street?
You see that is what it amounts to.
Sometimes girls do not think of these
things.

Sadie left the door ajar and paused
a moment.
"Of course, 1 haven't read it; but
I'll sign it, Bertram. 1t gives every
thing to you. / suppose, as Mr.. Maxwell
explained. You and l have no other

Then we'll have him up and get it

Sadie FASTENED to her own room,
took some dresses out of her boxes and
laid them about as if she We're un-

1t was a suggestive commencement
to the drama which she had come to
act at Broadstone Towers, and the
sudden meeting with her husband had
agitated her more than she had antici-
pated.
1t had been one thing to sit and
think over the meeting in anticipation,
and another to come face to face with

good deal from the days of his shack
hood in that Western city, and was
different from Tho camp sponge, as Don

But he was still the same drunkard
as ever. His face showed that as plain
ly as his bleary eyes and trembling
hand and the blend of secret nervous
unrest and forced outward GOODNESS.
He was the same coward at heart who
had dealt her that ~unspeakable wrong.
That she could ever have cared for
him appeared now nothing less than a
marvel. a cause of ineffable wondering.
He was so contemplate in her eyes now
that the brief contact had filled her
with a sense of shame at her own past
weakness, and of loathing for what he
