Large Wrists.

The woman with large hands and
wrists is not to be pitied, for she has
a dozen ways of covering up her de-
feet. The new sleeves might have
been designed with her in mind. Many
of them have big. soft puffs Of mater
ming just below the elbow and ending
in the narrowest of bands we'll down
over the wrist. This is not cOnVen-
lent enough for an office or a working
dress. but for the silks and the
Chiffons of afternoon frocks it Is
charming And it makes the largest
hand look small and covers up the
entire wrist.
All sleeves show a tendency to be
tight above the elbow and loose or
even flowing below it, The looseness
usually increases towards the hand;
some OF the sleeves are made in real
medieval fashion, opening out to
nearly a yard width at the ends and
therefore falling away from the hand,
and the arm when it is raised, in a
most graceful fashion.
If YOU can wear a pair of large, old
fashioned bracelets. one on each arm
and we'll down to the hands, you can
cover up ugly wrists. The cameo
bracelets of our grandmothers on fiat
gold bands, and the wide bands of
coral ending on a carved coral head
of an intricate knot, are decorative,
still easy to find and not expensive
and will make the hands look smaller
and disguise the size of the wrists.
Exercising the wrists helps too, not
because il reduces size, for it dosent,
hut because it makes the wrists fiex'
ible and, that is the next thing 70
grace. It does improve the shape OF
the wrists too. And, IL you are thin
YOU can make ugly wrists nice looking
by gaining weigb4> for a plump arm

Arrested for Feasting.
PETERSBURG, Va, May II, 1875.
Richard Harrison was summoned
before the Committee of Safety, ac-
cused of feasting bountifully on this
fast day. He apologiZed, said he had
forgotten that it was a fast day, and
was thereupon forgiven.

PHILADELPHIA. May II, 1776.-
The Rev. George Duffield, preaching
a fast-day sermon before a large au-
dience which included several mem
bers of Congress, likened George III
TO Pharaoh, and the people of Amer
lea to the ISraelites. and predicted
that the same God who had delivered
the Israelites from their oppressors
would certainly rescue America from

Fast Day Widely Observed.

NEW YORK, May II, 1776.-In
accordance with the recommendation
Of Congress, this has been observed
throughout the Colonies as day of
humiliation. fasting and prayer, that
we may, with united hearts, confess
and bewail our manifold sins and
transgressions against God, and. by a
sincere repentance and amendment Of
life as a people, appease His righteous
displeasure against us."
New York's observance has heen in
keeping with a proclamation by the
Provincial Congress which urged the
people to implore divine assistance
that the cruel purposes of our un-
natural enemies may be frustrated;
but that Il our enemies continue deaf
TO the voice of reason and humanity,
'Tt may please the Lord of Hosts.
the God of Armies, to animate our
officers and soldiers with invincible
fortitude, to guard and protect them
in the day of battle, and to crown
the Continental arms. by sea and
land, with victory and success, that
this continent may he speedily re.
stored to the blessings of peace and
liberty and enabled to transmit them
inviolate to the latest posterity."
As requested hy the congresses. the
people of this city and county have
today abstained from all and every
kind of serVile lahour. business and
employment and attended divine serv-

and books are more widely read and
discussed than ever before. Many
modest homes today boast a fair
sized library where the Bible. the AL
manac and Hills Manual would have
been the only books in the house in
an earlier era.
One result of this new bookish
tendency is the very great variety of
handsome bookcases now to be found
in the shops. Here is an oddly shaped
pyrarnided case. 1t is painted in ac-
cordance with the new vogue, the
color being a soft Adam green, that
magical shade which possesses so
much character, and yet seems to
harmonizeNwith everything.

Mrs. Edna NJ. L.-Blonde hair will
always grow darker after adult years,
and it is more becoming because of
this change in the shade. The lemon
rinse is made by adding the juice of
half a lemon to about two quarts of
water, to be used as the final rinse
after the shampoo.
Mrs. Il. W.-If the scars are just
pink spots left from having pimples,
they will bleach off in time. You can
