SLEEVES FOR FALL GOWNS

Features Of the Offerings

The set-in sleeve is featured on the
majority of gowns for fall. To i'm
press their presence upon the minds
Of prospective buyers they have made
themselves conspicuous by being en-
phasized in various ways. In some
instances the armhole is outlined with
bands of the material. embroidered
in silks or wools. Then, again, wide
bands OF contrasting materials or Of
braid are used to bind the armhole.
A very unusual sleeve is an inter-
esting part Of a blue serge gown.
Three-inch silk braid is sewed around
the top of the sleeve, the sleeve being
stitched fiat by this braid band to the
outside of the bodice, not in the arm
hole.
OF course, all of the new sleeves
Of daytime dresses are long. Many
of them are slashed from the wrist
to the elbow. the place between the
slashed material being filled in with
lace, net or silk. When the material
is slashed only a few inches up from
the wrist the sides are finished by a
narrow plated frill or lace or chiffon

could be given to the pockets for the

1900 ACRES
FOR NEW COLONY
Canal Zone Club Executes
Contract for Land.
CHARLES COUNTY CHOSEN
American Settlers In Panama, De-
string To Return Home, Pick
Maryland As Best
Location.

Plans which have been in progress
for months looking to the establish.
ment of future homes in Charles coun-
ty by so or more persons from Panama
were consummated at a conference
held between the directors OF the
Farms Company of Maryland, which
has financed the movement to bring
the settlers here, and the representa-
tives OF the Canal Zone Colony Club.
The three representatives of the
Colony Club-F. N. Weidner, of Ches-
ter, Pa; ]. H. Stevenson, of Atlanta,
Ga, and Charles E. Wood, of Whining
ton, Del, executed a contract under
which it's members are to purchase ap-
proximately 1000 acres of Maryland
farm land from the Farms Company.
The new owners agree to cultivate the
land and build homes on it with the
view to locating there some time in the
future.
At the same time, the club entered
into an agreement by which the Farms
Company agrees to install drainage
system on the property and to grade
and lay out the necessary highways.
In addition, the Farms Company agrees
to clear and put under cultivation a
certain portion of the land. The work
under this contract is to start on Sep
tember l. After that date there will
be an official representative of the
Canal Zone Colony Club on the prop
erty all the time. 1t is more than
likely that some of the settlers will
locate in Charles county within six
months. Others will remain in Pana-
ma possibly another year or a year
and a half, but during their absence
their farm land down in Southern
Maryland will be under cultivation and
in a position to bring in an income
when they take final possession.
Mr.. Weidner and those associated
with him in looking after the inter
ests of the Panama people made it
plain that every settler who expected
to make his future home in Maryland
in the employ of the Government but
who had decided to return to the
United States now that the canal work
is completed. He said that the Colony
Club had carefully considered the land
situation in more than seven states
and that it had selected Maryland be-
cause this State offered advantages in
the matter of soil conditions and near
ness to the large markets which could
not be found in other sections.
