this spirit John Halifax bore himself
respectfully but manfully, exciting
the hatred OF his opponents by de-

circumstances brought him In the
long run into closer connection with

SLEEVES ARE SHORT.

In Paris now the short sleeve Is an
invariable law. Some sleeves fall be-
low the elbow. but a sleeve stopping
short of the elbow is smarter, and
such sleeves are slashed or sloped
upward at the outer side to display
a considerable quantity of bare arm.
The summer girl must look to her
elbows now and see to 1t that they
are soft. white and dimpled. Elbows
have been sadly neglected during a
long era OF wristlength sleeves. but

The Saco Almshouse

The State Board Of Charities and
Corrections has just issued a report
on the last inspection. on Feb. 10, of
the Saco almshouse. which it now re-
ports in far better condition than
when it was the subject of much crit
icism at home and abroad. The board
says:
THE State Board Of Charities and
Corrections found conditions unsatis-
factory in this almshouse in 1917 and
again in 1918. But it was found In
1918 that the board of overseers OF
the poor Of which A. L. Ball is chair
man, was cognizant of the made
quate care of the poor of the city
farm and was willing and anxious to
improve the administration and the
physical condition of the almshouse."
1t then specifies the extent of the
repairs and improvements made
which are rather extensive. 1t con-
cludes:
''In short, this almShouSe IS ready
to be classed now as an institution
run on a business basis, sanitary and
comfortable. and great credit Is Que
to those who have accomplished SO
many changes for the better In SO
short a time. The work of reorganl-
zation is not wholly completed yet
but the plans are laid ana II the
work receives no setbacks. the ousl-
ness administration Of the almshouse
