U. S. ROAD WORK

WASHINGTON. July 2s.-Nearly
$4,000 will be expended within the
next year by the U. S. department Of
agriculture for the construction and
Improvement OF highways running
thru and adjacent TO the national
forests Of the country.
With the addition of state funds,
the money spent for better roads in
the national forest areas will run well
up toward the three million mark.
The states in which federal funds
viii be used for this purpose, include
Arizona New Mexico. Nevada, Idaho.
Utah, Minnesota, Montana and Col
orado. and tho territory of Alaska.
The result Is expected to be a
gerater increase in motoring thru
these wonder spots for tourists and a
greater interest In the national parks
and other reservations Of the west.
More than $50 miles Of new roads
will be constructed, and several more
miles OF completed highway will be
improved by resurfacing, widening or
regarding.

is significant Of the present
fashion tendency that at GER
tain important dreSsmaking es-
tablishmcnt the boast is made
that no two frocks produced there
are made with sleeves exactly alike.
They are varied in shape, in cut, in
trimming or in finish.
So apparently sleeves are emerging
from their long obscurity. To be sure
there have been persistent efforts to
bring sleeves back to Importance Or
rather the dressmakers or designers
have constantly been putting out lit
tie feelers, in the way of frocks with
ornate sleeves, to see whether the
women who buy the clothes and
finance the dressmakers were ready
for a return of sleeve elaborateness.
But until now apparently the women
have been perfectly willing to go
simply sleeved.
The long tight sleeve is almost
always finished with some sort of
interesting cuff or other decoration
and the sleeveless or very short
sleeved frock shows signs of deco
rative application about the upper
arm. The very short puffed sleeve is
no longer an oddity, and the armhole
of the sleeveless frock is bound with
pearls, beads, lace, ornate ribbon or
even rows of little pearl buttons.

bles and go with bare arms, loud pro-
test is made against this .fashiof-at
least until every one gets used to IT.
.*r*
A LII through the middle ages and
the earlyfrenaissance period bare
arms-even partly bare sarms-were-
practically unknown in Europe. In
England there seemed to beam esper
cially strong prejudice against any
shortening or slashing Of the sleeve
that would show the skin Of the arm.
1t was regarded as quite ffnmodest.
In the reign of Henry VIII short
sleeves and gowns with no sleeves at,
all were introduced from France. 1t
was the first time, since the days Of
the ancient, barbarian Britons that
Englishwomen had shown their arms,
and great was the excitement and
alarm. 1t gayefmoralizing preachers,
subject for exhortation for weeks to
come
At present we seem to have become
immune to any possible alarm or ex-.
citement that might be derived from
the sight of bare arms. Possibly that
is why we are willing to go back to
sleeves more elaborately made and
trimmed. But don't expect too much.
The change is certainly not coming
overnight. The sleeveless frock for
daytime is by no means, obsolete. At
southern resorts in late winter 1t was
quite obvious that smartly dressed
women were by no means ready to
abandon it in favor of sleeved frocks.

The long, straight, rather tight

built strictly along mannish lines the
straight sleeve is, Of course, the only
choice but on many of the less severe
models we find the sleeve that grad
ualIy widens, giving a generous open

Sometimes these wide-wristed suit
sleeves have a decided flare below the
elbow and in French suit of finely
striped material the sleeve is made
of two portions-one with stripes
running up and down. extending from
the shoulder to slightly below the ell
bow-and below this another faring

round about. Printed crepe de chine

ment. One edged toward the door Of
the bakery. The other followed. Tim
idly they opened the door, slipping in

Somehow feeling that the two chill
dren might not be treated kindly BY
those within, Jack determined to follow
them. Sure enough, as he entered he
saw the hard-faced old bakeryman
making signs of refusal. shooing them

For formal afternoon wear a
sleeve that is Of tho bishop sort has
been used many times. This is, of
course, the sleeve that is full from
shoulder to wrist, where It Is con-

Then there is tho sleeve close and
tight from the shoulder to well below
the elbow, where there is a little puff
extending to the wrist Meantime the
shoulder puff seems to be struggling
hard to survive.
So you see there is no definite,
clearly defined tendency in sleeves
other than tendency to self -asser-
tion. The man who boasts that he
can date a frock by the sleeves it
contains might have dificulty years

One thing you may have discovered
II you have shopped for blouses-the
short-sleeve blouse is practically ex-
tinct. There are sleeveless blouses
still-but almost never short-sleeved
blouses. For the girl who goes in for
the thoroughly tailored effect the
long-sleeved blouse of crepe de chine,
English broadcloth or other substan-
tial material seems still to be a usual
choice. But for the woman who is
less of purist in choosing the ac-
