LONG SLEEVE MOST POPULAR
Variety is a Great One, But Most
Frocks Are Made With Decided
ly Long Ones.

Since evening dresses and little
dance frocks are in a class by them
selves and presupposes the use OF
long gloves, their sleeves are less apt
10 show any decided changes. There
as so little Of them, in the first place.
But fashion has given her fat anent
afternoon dresses and suits Here are
some Of the changes:
In the majority OF dresses the long
sleeve prevails.
Most of the sleeves are set on the
xarment about three inches below the
shoulder, thus giving long shoulder
fine.
Some frocks show the culrass effect
or separate large sleeve over the set,
IN sleeves that are on the underbodice.
Fullness Is the keynote. There is
given in ruffies at the elbow, In wired
puffs on undersleeves, In the genezal
cut of bishop or leg.o,mutton type.
Shirring is used On cuffs and on the
under-arm seam to dispose of ma.
aerial in full Mnes.
Frills are shown on the edge of the
sleeves and running up the outer
zeam. They also edge the upper and
under lines of the caffs.
Fullness is given to the sleeves OF
storm coats and evening wraps by
having them cut in one with the gar.
rnent, dispensing with armholes, yet
departing from the hlnono type by
having decided cuffs and fitted end
at the wrists.

There was an artificial man
His hair was not his own;
One eye was glass, one ear was wax.
His nose was carved from bone;
His legs were manufactured onesl
His teeth were deftly made:
Six ribs Of rubber, also, were
Within his form arrayed.
He wooed a maid Of paint and pun
Whose face and form were art.
And found she had when they were wed,
An artificial heart.
However they did not indulge
In petty stress and strife.
They hired their fussing done, and led
An artificial life.
They read by artificial light,
Ate artificial rice,
Drank artificial water, cooled
BY artificial ice.
An artificial organ played
Them artificial tunes;
A phonograph would soothe their babe
With artificial croons.
Alas! At last there came a day
To harrow up the soul,
The artificial man could not
Buy artificial coal.
And with no artificial heat
To warm their chilly breath,
They initiated other folks
In artificial death.

John Gainsworth in Seribners.
For a moment we had thought him
a ghost-one of the many. But he
was not, since his hoofs sounded. That
scrambling clatter had died out into
silence before we came to the dark
cryptlike chamber whose marble col
umns were ringed in iron, veritable
pillars Of foundation. And then we
saw that our old guides hands were
full of newspaper. She struck a
match; they caught fire and blazed.
Holding high that torch, she said.
See! Up there's his name, above
where he stood. The auctioneer. Oh,
YES, indeed! Here's where they sold
them!"
Below that name, deeaying on the
wall, We had the slow, uncanny feel
ing that some one was standing there
in the gleam and flicker Of that paper
torch. For a moment the whole
shadowy room seemed full OF forms
and faces. Then the torch died out
and our old guide, pointing through
an archway with the blackened
stump of it said:
"'Twas here they kept them-in-
deed, yes!"
We saw before us a sort of vault,
stone built, ard low and long The
light there was too dim for us to
make out anything but balls, and
heaps of rusting scrap iron cast out
there and moldering down. But try

gazing not at us, but through the
archway where we stood; innumer'
able white eyeballs cleaning out of

little laugh. 1t floated past through
the archway toward those eyes. Who
was it laughed in there? The old
