TO PROTECT THE SLEEVES
Most servieeabIe Coverings May Be
Made From Mems Handkerchief
OF Cheap Materials.

Nearly all business girls wear over
sleeves while at work; but If the
sleeves are made of the usual black
or dark material, they give a severe
look to any dress.
It is a good plan to make the
sleeves from mems handkerchiefs the
cheap ones, sold for ten cents, answer
the purpose. Perhaps the most serv-
iceable kind is that with white CEN
ter and a colored border. A center
Of solid tint Is pretty, and may show
the dirt less; but the tint Is likely to
soon fade, and the goods on which it
is used is likely to be more expensive
than the white handkerchiefs.
Fold the >handkerchiefs diagona1ly
twice, to form a right-angled triangle,
four folds in thickness, with the edges
of the handkerchief as the hypotenuse.
Then cut off one of the corners or
acute angle, somewhat on a slant. The
wrist of the sleeve should be about
five inches before it is bound. All
seams must be French ones SO that
there shall be no roughness.
Gather the wrist slightly, and bind
it with bias strip from one of the
pieces that were cut off. Tt should be
from three and three-fourths to four
and one-quarter inches across when
finished, Or just large enough to slip
the hand through easily. a narrow
edging of lace may be added; it gives
the sleeves a more finished appear
ance. Folding twice, Of course, gives
a pair of sleeves from one handker-
chief.
When the sleeves are in use, the
seam comes on the inside of the arm,
and the point is pinned on the outside,
just above the elbow. That will hold
the sleeve comfortably in place, and
the strain being on the bias of the
cloth, it gives with every motion Of
the arm, and fits more closely than
a sleeve made on the straight would.
Such q sleeve can also be worn by
any housekeeper when she is at her
work. They can be made and laun-
dered SO easily that they commend
themselves to the practical girl.

CHOICE IN FALL MILLINERY
DuVetyn Pretty Sure to Be Popular,
Though Many Other Materials
May Be Selected.

Duvetyn is one of the biggest fac
tors in the advance fall models that
are now being shown in local mill
iinery circles. Manufa cturers are
unanimous in the belief that it is 60
ing to exceed the popularity it enjoyed
last year. Beaver strip is also well
thought of in some parts of the trade,
as there is no material for hats that
IS more f1attering to a woman than
beaver. Embroidered effects are being
shown for the new season in a large
way. Heavy wool, silk floss, chenille
and gold thread embroideries are used
extensively. Hackle is a big factor,
especially the domestic pasted variety
of this plumage. Pasted feather breasts
are being used in combination with
heavy fabrics to good advantage.
Flower trims are seen in heavily
padded wool and chenille effects.
Chenille grapes also are used as trim
mings.

Hats are always difficult to dispose
Of, especially when a closet is very
shallow without much shelf space. So,
to solve the problem, a little wooden
stand can be constructed to hold four
hat boxes. This stand is built like a
table with two shelves underneath
any kind Of wood will do that can be
painted or enameled. Each shelf holds
two hat boxes, and these are made
more attractive and durable by cover
ing them with either a lightweight
lowered chintz or cretonne, or heavy
Powered wall paper. To be very prac-
teal the fronts Of the boxes should be
hinged by means of strips Of linen so
that the front can drop, and the hats
be removed without taking the boxes
from the shelves.

there is no fixed rule that one may fol-

factors in determining the amount to

smallest detail. One morning at
breakfast a beautiful Dresden tea
cup was broken.
"Ah !" cried the countess, "a disas-
ter! Two more Of that set will now
be broken. It always happens So"
"Are you so superstitfous,'' asked
the count, "as really to believe that
two more will be broken?"
