How Friends Are Less.

When the professor met n CT his
oldest and most intimate friends the
day after the lecture he naturally ex-
pected some comments on the prevf
evenings remarks- Many other
topics were freely discussed Finally
the lecturer grew uneasy and re
marked:
Il was pleased to see you at the han
last night"
Yes. I was there"
Fine audience
Yes: very nice crowd"
Il always like to see my near
friends about me when I lecture" the
professor resumed timidly. -Persons

pursued his way. discovered. to his

SUMMER SLEEVES ARE LONG
Extend From Shoulder to Wrist
ServiceabIe Hat Covering De-
signed for the Rainy Weather.

Sleeves still remain long, reaching
from shoulder to wrist; many are fin
ished with a point or a faring cuff
which falls over the hand. AS the
warm weather advances it would be
well to have the sleeve as transparent
as possible.
In direct contrast, many evening
gowns have no sleeves at all, but have
a fullness of chiffon or tulle carried
over the shoulder simply to hold the
bodice in place.
There are some very serviceable
coverings for hats to be worn in rainy
weather. Rather, they are for mex
pected showers, and are so small and
compact that they may be carried
about in a handbag or in an automo-
bile pocket or in any other small
space, ready to use on the first sign
of rain. Then the thin waterproof
covering can be spread over the hat
and fastened securely.

EFFECTS IN JEWELRY
Tango Sets Are Made Not Only for
the Feet, but for tho HaIr-Some
Other Fancies.

Tango sets Of buckle and slipper
f~astenings have become popular, but
very much newer are the sets not for
the shoe but for the hair. These are
made up of comb, pin and barrette.
The combs are the high curved combs
for the back of the hair; the pins are
fancy little affairs, and the barrettes
are fan shaped, narrow and high.
Pairs of two-pronged pins are espe-
cially new. They are made Of shell,
set with the modish emerald, topaz
or amethyst, or they are formed of
diamond-mounted platinum.
Little airy bouquets pins and sash
buckles are among the latest of jew
elry sets, and those becoming neck
bands of velvet may now be had in
sets with matching wristlets. The
necklets are mounted with little
gemmed pendants and the wristbands
with gemmed sides.
Even watches have not missed be-
ing coupled with other jewels, and the
so-called watch sets are composed of
an enameled watch that may be used
as a pendant, chatelaine or wrist
watch, with the chain, brooch and
bracelet necessary to turn 1t from one
style of jewel into the other.
