ModiSh Sleeves.

THE style and length of a sleeve varies
according to the use for which the
garment Is intended. If model is tai
lored or cut on simple lines, the sleeves
are usually long, especially in the case
of street dresses worn without wrap.
Elaborate afternoon gowns and simple
evening dresses have sleeves elbow
length or three-auarters. Gowns of dis
tinctly evening type have caps in place
of sleeves. These short pieces extend
just over the top of the arm. and some
times take the form of soft drapery
around the armhole. Angel sleeves are
coming in, the most prominent type fall
ing from the armsize to a point just be-
low the elbow. the top of the arm being
left uncovered.
Many OF the long sleeves have an
elongated shoulder line, the sleeve being
joined about half way to the elbow Set
in sleeves are used on practical street
dresses, and peasant sleeves on dreSsy
waists and blouseS.
The application of fullness in sleeves
Is left entirely to the designer. 1t may
be gathered in at the long shoulder line,
or fullness may be applied at the elbow.
or In the lower section just above the
cuff
Fall suits are mostly made with regu-
lation coat sleeves Some of the dressier
suits have a sleeve set on at the long
shoulder line, and few are in kimono
style. They are full length in nearly
every case. Separate street coats have
kimono sleeves gathered into a cuff or
raglan sleeves. or sleeves set on several
inches below the shoulder line With the
exception of evening wraps and gowns
sleeves are a,mos. all made full length.

Eliminate the Hand.

r. HE elimination of the human hand IS
/ the watchword or battle cry of many
of the workers for pure food laws and
regulations And it is the aim of many of
the big producers of foods, too. The state
of New Hampshire not long ago rendered
decision forcing bread to be wrapped
when it was sold. And some of the big
factories where crackers and biscuits are
made, for instance. have SO far. elim
mated the human hand that you see hui
man hands only manipulating the big
steel machine hands that touch the food.
So much for the efforts of state and
factory How about your own house,
Does the human hand have too prom
inent part in the making of your home
made bread? Even If it is your own
hand. it had better not be used unnec-
essarily in the preparation of food. From
both the standpoint of health and that
of economy the use of the human hand
when 1t is possible not to use it ought
to be avoided.
Make this the watchword OF your
kitchen. and so help advance a nation
wide effort for better food and better
economy in its making.

der an artificial light. or even under day
light distorted by reflections from sur
rounding buildings, etc. While it is true
that not all fabrics or colored objects are
to be worn or displayed in daylight, 1t
is certain that the matching must be done
by daylight
1t may be thought that material for a
ball gown might well be matched under
electric incandescent light but If the
match is made under tungsten lamps in

Bulbs for Winter.
When you are buying bulbs. get the
best ones. And after you have mastered
the growth and care of one sort, set out
to learn about another sort
The Chinese lily bulb is the easiest and
most satisfactory to grow. The same

art or growing Chinese lilies. She says
it is no art, and says she simply sticks
one of the bulbs into water every week
or So until all the available dishes
throughout the house are filled.
Ii is said that nothing but draughts
hurts these bulbs, and draughts XIII
them. The best way to grow them Is TO
leave them in cool. seml-dark room
until the roots are well formed and the
green growth has started. Then take
them into the light, and give them sun
when they are about to bloom.
They can be planted in stones. covered
with water, or they can be planted in
the prepared fiber sold by some of the
seedmen. A little sand in the bottom OF
a dish of stones and water in which they
are to grow is advantageous to the ilnes.
and tiny piece of charcoal IN the water
keeps 1T sweet.
If YOU would have the best success
with Chinese lily bulbs, get the best you
can find and pay for. They may be had
in packages of fifty, imported in that
shape from China, and these are usually
satisfactory. The flowers are already
formed in the bulbs when you buy them,
and unless flowers are there, you can
not make them bloom Therefore, pay
for good bulbs IL you would have free
flowers.
Other House Plants.
Geraniums, marguerites and begonias
are perhaps the most satisfactory of all
house plants Geraniums and begonias
give flowers for eight or nine months.
The marguerite has a Towering period
of only three or four months, but these
months of beauty make it worth cultivat-
ing.
All these plants can be raised from
cuttings. The marguerite cuttings should
be planted in a soil light with plenty of
good leaf mold. Begonias and geraniums
thrive in rich soil-the richer the bet
ter.

At Christmas time, when there was
demand for such scissors, this same
shopper last year was forced to pay
20 cents for scissors to put in the

This year she has stocked up with
Scent scissors, in all respects quite as

for her gifts.
Remnants and marked down pieces of
ribbon can also be had for song early
in the season. The narrow ribbon for

be picked UP at bargain prices, and
