regard to the caprices of the weather is part of the history of the civili- zation of man. To return to that fig leaf: It was probably the only time in history when the climate was met with the right sort of costume. Since then, the world of women has gone on the path that suggests obstinacy.
 Take, as an example of the prevers- ity of the present moment, the incom- ing fashion of five-inch sleeves at a time when kid gloves are difficult to get and exceeding difficult to pay for The women of today, we are quite sure, have no idea of attempt ing the methods of the directoire by going about the streets with entirely bare arms. Josephine, the Empress of the Wrench, may have believed that the short sleeve was correct for her time; but this is a workaday world, full Of the rush and impetus of activity-and open-air activity at that We might have a chance of looking like a group let loose from a boiler factory at mid day in August, if we rushed about the streets with our athletic and slightly red arms protruding from five-inch capes, without sleeves.
 No the fashion would never do for this time, this country and this season. It is comfortable enough, and for the house it is a reasonable bit of costum- cry for hot weather; but the dress makers are turning out street gowns with these short sleeves. and some women are attempting to wear them at luncheon in the restaurants.
 France is supposed to De a most prac- tieal country, and yet why did she in- troduce the shortest sleeves worn in a century at the very moment that kid gloves were threatening to withdraw from the shops?
 ADMIRABLE IDEAS IN THE NEW
 SLEEVES
 One feels, in running full tilt against the tidal wave of new sleeves the utter futiltty of trying to describe even the best of them. One would think that the world had gone quite mad over arm coverings. Possibly it is true that the French and American designers, realizing that they could not introduce anything especially brilliant or novel in the new costumery because of the lack of materials, put their genius to work in devising vast variety of

the more fashionable it is; that is, if ii starts out to be long in an evening gown 1t may continue to the knees, giving the effect of extreme novelty.
 These long evening sleeves are of tuHe, and socetimes of the vermicelli lace caught in some manner against the arm, so that they will not fall away from the hand as it moves. This is pure medievalism.
 There are sleeves taken from the Ital- ian renaissance. These are cut to im- mense bell-shaped openings at three-quar- ter length, rolled back on themselves

THE WORLD OF FASHION PRODUCED MORE NEW SLEEVES SPRING BEFORE IN ITS HISTORY AND WOMEN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE CAPRICES TO TRANSFORM AN OLD GOWN INTO SOMETHING THAT LOOKS NEW-ARTISTS HAVE SEARCHED OLD PRINTS ASSISTED WOMEN IN PRO- BY SLEEVES ASSYRIA EGYPT AND EARLY FRENCH HISTORY.

ward Brian-that they would mostly
say:
"What can anyone expeet7 His wife
goes off and leaves him alone. Why
shouldn' t he enjoy himself with another
woman9"
A man $ conscience is gullible. 1t is
very elastic, especially as regards his
love affairs. Brian's conscience was
much like that Of the majority of men
He soothed it by blaming Ruth. While
Mandel didn't attempt to intrigue him
self that he was not going to do all he
could to win Ruth, he also Diumou Drlan
for neglection her.
Rath thought often of Mandel's 5 kind
ness to her. There was sense Of com.
fort when she thought of him. He had
given her congenial work to do, instead
of slavery-as she called it-she had
been doing for Brian. He had let her
feel her worth to him in a buslness
way, SO that she felt that she earned
not what he gave her, but more. He
had accurately appraised her abilities;
and then had trusted her to make good.
Naturally, Ruth was flattered when
she thought of these things How hap
py she would have been sould she have
discussed them with Brianl But as yet
he had shown no slightest interest in
her work-as work. Perhaps later she
would be able to get him to view it
in something like the matter in which
she did-as a profession; and an artis-
tic one of which he could be proud.
But now his relations with Mollie
King. His extravaganza in going to
those expensive places, were uppermost
in her mind.
As regarded money, Ruth was
strange contradiction. Nothing was ex-
travagant if you had the money; but
debt that to her was a horror. She
had known only one person who had
been the kind who runs in debt, and he
had been held up to her as an example.
One of her aunt's neighbors had such
a husband, and they had lost their
home, everything they had owned, and
the wife had died-people said with a
broken heart, because of it.
Not that she would ever die of a.
broken heart from the same cause, no,
she could take care Of herself. But
people had talked so terribly about Mr..
Lovelace. Had called him such awful
names And she remembered, with al
shudder, that she had read a list of his
creditors, and how much he owned
them, in the county paper.
Perhaps Brian had made some extra
money! That would explain it all. She
would ask him, the very first thing
when she got home.
The afternoon wore away. Ruth was
very busy and she forgot Brian for the

Don't Poison Your Batteries
Says Battery Exptrt

'EBatteries, like human beings, are
susceptible to poison" says Mr.. Degge,
local Willard expert "When it comes
to giving medicine to battery, the only
safe rule is to let an expert write the
prescription and administer the dose
otherwise, the car owner is likely to
find out that his battery has been
killed instead of cured.
"There is one thing in particular that
is just about as bad as any poison you
could give your batteries. That is acid.
Of course there is acid in the battery
solution, and good many car owners
will reason: IF acid is what makes my
batteries strong, then the proper thing
to do when l think it shows weakness
is to add little more acid. Then it
ought to work better.
"That S altogether wrong. You might
as well say that because a few drops
of some powerful drug are good for
heart trouble, whole bottle would give
the patient better heart than anyboy
in the country. Not even the worst
patent medicine fiend would be foolish
enough to believe that.
sBut there are lot of people who
believe in drugging battery in just
the same way, SO they put in about
half-pint Of acid, when the battery
only needs pure water.
''The only way to be safe about ad.
ding acid is to fight shy of it. If you

\ Dead Stomach
Of What Use Is II?

Thousands7 yet hundreds of thou
sands of people throughout America
are taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They are numbering their own
stomach, the best friend they have,
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the laws

This is no sensational statement;

which any honorable physician Will

These thousands Of people are
swallowing daily huge quantities of
pepsin and other strong digesters,
made especially to digest the food in
the stomach without any aid at all
from the digestive membrane of the
stomach.
Mona stomach tablets relieve dis

do more. Taken regularly for few
weeks they build up the run down
stomach and make it strong enough
to digest its own food. Then indi-
