Plain and Fancy sleeves.


The present might well be dubbed
season of sleeves, for it shows a
great variety. Here are three, one
plain and two fancy, that will be
found invaluable, both for new gowns
and for remaking. The sleeve that is
trimmed with soutache is peculiarly
well adapted to two materials, all

plain sleeve is simple and can be used
with or without trimming. while the
third sleeve is novel in the extreme.

with the drapery Of crepe de Chine
held by large buttons, but its possi-
bilities are many. Either the drapery
or the under portion can be made to
match the blouse, as may be most

claim that the land was never pat

have been abandoned it is State land
and can be taken up through pat
ent from the Land Commissioners
Office at Annapolis. The proper pa
pers were executed last week and
forwarded so the Land Commissioners

Mr.. Polk has in his possession the
copies of the county surveys of Som

hundred years back, and says there
is no record that the land was ever
patented by the State. From an
cient records it is learned that the
land was confiscated from the Tories,
who claimed ownership. This is the
property which was recently pur-
chased by a syndicate Of Salisbury
capitalists for $35, 900, and the i'll
