KVHE very large cities, and a few
smaller ones, have succeeded in
H establishing the custom of five
o'clock tea,' which is altogether
worth while. 1t is a little event in
the day, for those who would other
wise stay at home, which takes wom-
en- out of doors for space and brings
them into inspiring touch with each
other. After the matinee or the after
moons shopping one may see women
at their prettiest in the tea rooms of
the hotels, or the great shops, or at
those confectioners who are wise
enough to provide an attractive rem
devious for homeward bound patrons.
The comfortable part is that one may
be gowned appropriately in the plain
est of tailor-mades or in more preten-
tious visiting costumes, and, in the
matter of millinery, everything is adj
missabble, with the tendency toward
dressy hats, ever growing in favor.
Hats plain, more hats semi-dress and
most hats dressy may be looked for
at the five o'clock tea.

SLEEVE POCKET FOR THE FAN
Innovation Favored by Paris Seems to
Presage 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 a 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 a miniature
embroidered fan, apparently out OF
her arm.
The fan pocket is to be found on
either sleeve of a 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 lace
handkerchief, and there is no dour5
that its dimensions will increase Waen
sleeves assume large proportions.

SAND AND GRAVEL WORTH
TWENTY-ONE MILLIONS

ton Of sand and gravel In 1911. ac-
cording to report by e. F. Burchard

40.253,977 tons, valued at $14,43S,50O,
and that Of gravel was 1852 1882 tons,
valued at ss,72o,Os3. The production
OF glass sand was valued at $1,547,733,
an increase over the figures for 1910;
the sand used for building in 1911
was valued at $7,719,2se, slight in
crease as compared with 1910. This
