Variety in Sleeves Gives Charm
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Interest in fashion has been conferred
for so many years on skirts that there
has been little opportunity to expert
ment with sleeves, and during the last
$50 years of the history of costumes
there has never been a time when sleeve
fashions have changed so little as they
have during the 10 or Is years just
passed.
There have been efforts from time to
time to bring sleeves back into the
linelight, but still an alienation of the
very simple long sleeve or no sleeves
at all seems to have satisfied the de-
mAnds of most women for novelty. Pos

following, when Jesse Benton appeared
from behind him and fired q pistol con-
tanning slug OF lead and two bullets at
him. JackSon'S left shoulder was fear
fully mutilated and he fell to the floor.
Coffee had stayed on guard in front
OF the hotel. The shots brought him
inside. He saw Jackson at the feet Of
Thomas H. Benton, jumped at the con-
cluSion that gentleman had wounded his
chief and fired at him point blank. He
missed and thereupon turned to help
the bleeding general.
A crowd gathered. Jackson was car
ried away amid loud shouts Of triumph
from the Bentons.
Though he felt the defeat keenly,
Gen. Jackson soon got well. It was no
longer pleasant for Thomas H. Benton
TO remain In Tennessee, so he emigrated
to Missouri. He became a United States
Senator from that State.
In later years, 1t Is pleasant to read,
he was Jackson's chief supporter In
the Senate. When Clay reproached
him he said:
ut is true that I had an ARRAY with
Gen. Jackson. We fought, sir, and I
hope we fought like men. But now we
shake hands and are friendly when we
meet"
Jesse Benton did not become recon-
ciled.

muscles have been thoroughly exercised.
Use very small amount of oil or cream
to keep the movements going smoothly,
just as a lubricant, and follow the treat
ment by dashing very cold water over
your throat, or by rubbing the skin for
few minutes with a small piece of ice.
Some stimulating treatment like this is
needed to get the skin firm again while
you are also getting the tissues firm
under it. A simple astringent several
times a week will help, also, and I am
suggesting witch hazel for this.

The girl with long. slim arms gains an
advantage in the elbow sleeve, which
may be finished with frills or rufIles to
further soften the angularity of thin
arms. The woman whose arms are too
large above the elbow but slender
enough below gains advantage in the
draped elbow sleeve.

To keep shoulder straps in
place, take a piece of tape 2
inches long (about u to "a inch
wide) and fold it through the
center. Hem both ends. Place
the straps at the center of the
shoulder seam. Sew one end in
visibly to the seam. Sew the
under part of a snap to the seam
and the other part to the strap.
Then, when you put on the dress
or the waist, slide the shoulder
straps under that tape and snap
it shut.

Leftover Meals.

Midwinter is upon us. And though
nowadays we do not have to wonder
how we can possibly make turnips and
beets. carrots and cabbage tempt our
own and our family's appetites until
Spring brings the first radishes and
green onions, still this is the most diff
cult time of year to plan food temptingly
and intelligently.
The root vegetables still remain our
Winter stan6bys, with cabbage still a
wholesome and cheap help. But all of
us indulge, at least occasionally, in some
of the green vegetables that come from
more Southern climates or from hot
houses.
One good thing about green vege-
tables-it is possible to use them up to
the last crumb as leftovers. For all
green vegetables make good salads. If,
for instance, you indulge in few hot
house tomatoes, you can use even the
smallest slice that may be left over to
chop up with cabbage for luncheon
salad next day. If you have string beans,
you can use any that remain after the
first serving with French dressing on
lettuce leaves for delicious salad. If
there are just a few beans left, then
you can serve potato salad for luncheon
and garnish 1t with even the few beans.
They will dress it up for both eye and
appetite.
Another thing you can do with any
leftover vegetables is to make baked
loaf of rice and vegetables. II you have
any good gravy, add that If not, bind
it with white sauce. Season it well. Add
chopped onion. And bake it until 1t is
nicely Drowned, with an occasional bast-
ing of butter. You can serve 1t with
brown butter sauce.

Curry for Ordinary Foods Gives
Them Unusual Flavor

Curry Is one of the good f1avors often
neglected by the American cook. 1t Is
really worth while, though, to learn to
use it intelligently, as it adds delicious
variety to the daily menu.
Curried Mutton.-One pint OF finely
chopped cold mutton, one tablespoon of
butter, one tablespoon Of flour, one
tablespoon of curry powder, one gill OF
rice, one egg, two quarts of boiling
water, salt to taste. Wash the rice. Put
it into the boiling water and boil for 25
minutes. Drain in a colander. Put the
butter into frying pan with the flour.
stir smooth, then add by degrees two
gills of boiling water: stir smooth again.
When boiling, add the meat, curry and
salt Stir for ten minutes. Heap the
mixture in the center of fireproof fiat
dish, make a border of the rice around
the meat. brush all over with beaten
egg and place in the oven until Drowned,
from five to ten minutes.
Curried Eggs - Eight hard-boiled
eggs, one pint of cream sauce, one tea
spoon of chopped parsley, salt and pep
per, one teaspoon of curry powder, one
teaspoon of chopped chives. When the
cream sauce is prepared, blend and stir
into it the curry powder, then add par
sley, chives, salt and pepper. Keep it
hot over boiling water while you prepare
the eggs. Having already boiled the
eggs, cut them in halves; lay them in a
deep dish; pour over them the sauce
Cover. Set the dish over boiling water
for ten minutes, until the eggs are
thoroughly heated, and serve.
Curried Tomatoes.-An exceptionally
appetizing supper dish is of tomatoes
seasoned with curry powder. and this
should be served with baked bananas.
Plunge four tomatoes into hot water, re-
move the skins, cut into halves and
press lightly to take out the seeds. Cook
two onions chopped fine, until tender,
with two tablespoons of butter. Add a
teaspoon of curry powder, bay leaf a
