Square-cut Bodices Set Sleeves Lower.
1t is said by those who know that
bodices are to be cut more squarely
across the shoulders. and therefore
the sleeves will be set lower on the
arms. This will be accomplished by
running the shoulder seams much
longer than we have had them during
the directoire period.
This smacks something of the sec

sighed many sighs and thought regret
fully Of money expended on golden
circlets. For 1t was taken for granted
that the knell Of elbow-length sleeves
meant also the knell of the bracelet
But fashion fooled them once again.
Bracelets, as matter of fact, are
as much in vogue as ever. To be
quite truthful. they are not the bands
of heavily-chased gold. twinkling with
precious stones which modish women
have been clanking against bridge
tables. but bracelets made of silk.
of velvet. of artificial flowers. of tulle
and even of broad bands of the old
fashioned bead work beloved of our
grandmothers.
Observers Of the first-arrived model
gowns from the great dressmakers of
Paris noticed a peculiar trimming Just
at the wrist of the long. close-fitting
sleeves. This trimming frequently
was the same as that employed else
put on in bracelet form and generally
ended In demure little bow at the
outside of the wrist Even though the
sleeve was plain and otherwise un-
trimmed. 1t had this distinctive touch.
This bracelet trimming was but the
forerunner of many other bracelets
made of materials distinctly new to
this peculiar use. Now we see the
debutante coquettishly banding her
wrist with circle of blue forget-me-
nots or tiny pink button" roses She
wears them over her sleeve If a long
sleeved gown Is worn, or over her
glove II In decollete gown. There is
even hint of revival of wrist
length gloves with very short puffed
sleeves. In that case the bracelet of
flowers will be still more In evidence,
for 1t is necessary to wear something
to break the hard line of the glove

lets, pinned with a small brooch in
the good old-fashioned way. II the
brooch is quaint antique. SO much
the better. A length of tulle in white
or colors is affected by the girl who
goes in for picturesque effects. She
ties 1t closely around her wrist with
long ends hanging from tight little
bow.
Curiosity shops that make spe-
cialty of old-fashioned jewelry have
been searched lately for the bands OF
woven beads clasped with old chased
gold clasps which were so much priced
by our grandmothers. They bid fair
to be quite as highly priced by the
girls of this generation. for great is
the rejoicing of the woman who finds
a bead bracelet of particularly quaint
design. A pattern Of red roses on
background of turquoise blue beads is
an effective combination which age
tones into quite good scheme of
color and the discovery of bead
bracelet bearing motto. sentimental
or scriptural. is considered very lucky

Some Simple Exer-

THE coming vogue for snug-ntted

both lasting and far-reaching. The
exercise must of course be taken en-

all things in moderation being very
wise rule. And yet II one should over
exert. a brisk rubbing with alcohol
will bring the blood to the worn out
tissues and save one from an aching
back. l should say that for the av-
erage young woman ten times repeat
ing each of the following exercises
would be the right amount for each
dose:
First. to develop the shoulder
muscles. assume an erect standing
position. then hunch the shoulders
as high as possible at the same time
that the head is thrown slightly up
ward and backward. Now rotate the
shoulders forward. downward and
backward with vigor, remembering
that it does the most good when 1t
nips. In repeating this cycle of move
ments be sure to maintain the body
in its original erect position. with
chest high and head back.
Secondly. double your fists. bring
your knuckles together on your chest
with thumbs downward. raise the
elbows to the exact level of the shoul-
ders. and then with one quick, Wig
orous movement bend your elbows
backward until your fists touch your
shoulders and your shoulder blades
nip. Repeat by bringing your fists to-
gether again over your chest and
then nip-nip-nipping. with your elbows
on the level with your shoulders.
To counteract the tendency to
dropping head that SO often accom-
panies round shoulders. stand erect.
place the clasped hands on the back
of your neck. and with chin In and
every muscle tense bend your head
backward then forward. as far as pos
stble. Remember that the head is
pushed backward without the face

bending your elbows back sharply.

Farewell bestowing comes to cast
Them on the mound of Memory.
With martial step and roll of drums
What spectral host is this, that comes
Between the gates that guard the dead?
Haste they to seek the willing bed?
Impatient is the grizzled head
or daisied pillow? Say not so!
While yet their Winter passeth slow
Here blooms perennial their Spring;
And here the pledge of Hope they bring
And Love-that dieth not. bestow.
Where once their heart of youth was fain

The morning giories of their youth

About the feet of these that stand
Beside the headstone. hand In hand.
And break the close turf's emerald seal.

Of grass and flower. and the shoots
OF rose and myrtle bid to grow.
That. DER the dust in love entwined.
Shall breathe upon the Summer wind
Sweets from the mold they bless below
All. let the banners come and go
For old remembrance; dip them low
Above the Dead that dared and died.
God knoweth who are justified.
About His Work He movetn slow;
The roses fall. the roses blow

Nor Love. while human tits to err.

Plant nothing over me, that keeps
My heart apart from him that sleeps
AS faithful in his narrow bed
AS in mine shall: with the Dead
The Dead are reconciled-nor we
Dare break their hallowed amity.
Plant then the myrtle; blue and white
It's flower. as Southern suns delight
To deep its tint-or Northern SHOWS
To blanch its color: plant the rose
Both white and red-and for the stars
The periwinkle; fade the bars
OF separation; stripes as red
AS the one blood their fathers shed.

In unity, these sacred graves.

Their childrens children shall engage,
Their sponsors in new baptism
For them to cherish. let that chrism
On their dead brows descend, and bless
The ancient bond of faithfulness
With its renewal; shall we
March onward to great destiny:
Nor one untoward memory stand
