BRACELET IS COMING BAcK1
With the EIbow-Length Sleeve This
Ornament 10 Almost Sure to
havs Access Of Favor.

The bracelet is to regain the favor
which it once held. Modern dress.
with its popular elbow-length sleeve
for day wear, adapts itself ad-
mirably to the display Of the brace
let. This Is the main reason why they
should become popular again.
Bracelets of fine workmanship set
with Jewels are bound to find favor.
The designs for these are borrowed
from those of old Egypt and Persia.
The snake armlets which are asso-
ciated with Cleopatra will be worn.
especially with evening dress.
Heavy armlets two inches in width
are patterned after those worn by the
Sabine soldiers when Tarpceia sold
the Roman city, tempted by their gilt
tering glory.
Massive is most descriptive of these
bracelets. They are worn on the up

SLEEVE POCKET FOR THE FAN
Innovation Favored by Paris Seems to
Presaoe Return Of Such Re-
ceptacies to Fashion.

During the past year the pocket has
been slowly and steadily regaining its
position in woman's toilettes and even
SO daring an innovation as sleeve
pocket has now been made possible.
This is quite the latest fashion note
from Paris. the new form OF pocket
being chiefly intended as a receptacle
for the tiny fan, which is SO much In
vogue at present.
The pocket is usually inserted in the
sleeve just below the elbow, the aper-
ture being cleverly concealed with
lace or chiffon, so that its presence
is not even suspected until the fair
wearer suddenly produces miniature
embroidered fan, apparently out Of
her arm.
The fan pocket is to be found on
either sleeve Of smart afternoon
gown and in some costumes one or
other of the cuffs Is frequently pro-
vided with a pocket after the same
style.
Although originally intended only to
hold the fan, as in China, the sleeve
pocket has been found SO convenient
that it is also used to hold q lace
handkerchief, and there Is no doubt
that its dimensions will increase when
sleeves assume large proportions.

DESTITUTI0N
AMONG FARMERS
COLORADO uoMEsrEApERs, MEN
WOMEN AND CHILDREN
LITERALLY STARVING.
N UST HAVE 4 EIP
STATE BOARD OF CHILD AND AMI
NAL PROTECTION ASKS FOR
CONTRIBUTIONS.

Denvsr.-The situation in some Of
the districts of the eastern part OF
the state, where the snowfall has been
very heavy and last years crop was
not sufficient to furnish feed for the
stock through the winter is recognised
BY the State Board Of Child and AMI
NAL Protection ~ one requiring quick
and adequate relief or. the suffering
among the people and their stock will
be very great. The board has issued
an appeal for funds to be used in the
way of loans to tide these settlers
over for few months and enable
them to buy food for themselves and
sustain their stock In . proper conAi-
ton for the spring work Of cultiva-
ton. The appeal u A. follows:
To the Citizens Of Colorado:
A condition of extreme destitution
and famine exists among the recent
settlers in three or four counties In
this state. Owing to the lack of rain
fall during the past two years, to the
newness and unbroken condition OF
their claims and to the extraordinary
severity of the winter, the worst ON
the plains in thirty years. these peo-
pie and their children, with their
horses and cows, are in many cases
literally starving.
Their gaunt horses cannot drag .
plow from weakness. Their COWS
give no milk. and unless help is given
them within the next few days both
horses and cows will die.
Moreover, although the heavy snow
fall makes a bountiful crop certain.
they have no seed.
These men, their wives and children
have endured great hardships to make
homes; they must be helped, their
children fed. their stock saved and
their crop sowed. Common humanity
demands that much.
They are good citizens, Industrious
and law-abiding. 1t will be incred-
IDLY short-sighted and foolish for the
people of this state to let them fail
Just now when their success 10 At
hand. They do not want charity. but
only to be helped till they can repay
with their summers crop.
Accordingly, the State Bureau Of
Child and Animal Protection asks
subscriptions for them. to be sent to
its office and guarantees to see that
without any cost the fund so raised
will be used to provide food. feed and
seed under the investigation and SUI
pervision of its officers, and that
notes without interest for all that II
advanced will be obtained payable
whom their crops are sold.
We earnestly ask that all who de-
sire to aid these most deserving fam.
lilies send their subscriptions to this
bureau at once. No time can be lost.
Flowing should begin as soon as the
starved horses can be fed and gain q
little strength.
No matter how small the amount 1t
can be used. A few dollars will feed
q family for . week; 81 will feed q
COW and 81 horse for a week; 81
will buy seed wheat for an acre.
The names of all subscribers will
be furnished to the daily press from
day to day, together with the use made
Of their subscriptions.

NeedIework Note,

Damask centerpieces are quite tho
style nowadays. Many clever needle
women outline the flowers or design
of the damask with dainty stitch so
as to form a border around the cir
cular piece, and with an edging OF
heavy lace this makes as effective q
centerpiece as could be desired.
