arc oblong. At the four corners of
each she had tail stakes driven, put
ting two extra stakes in the middle* of
those beds, which were more than ten
foot long. The stakes stood about a
foot higher than the tallest growth In
the beds. S«»mc of tin- (lowers v\ • re

Taking cheesecloth in lengths lung

The important question <*f the
length of sleeve* has been settled now
In blouse three-quarters and seven
eighths of the arm are the accepted
lengtTis. while ’u evening gowns they
vary with the wishes of the wearers
Many <‘f the afternoon'dresses re
joice in ha if-length or three-quarter
: length sleeves, in addition to which *
there are .suhcuffs of material Mini
| lar to that used for the gutmpe The
| entire length can be the full length
of halfway between elbow and wrist,
j while some modelp show an additional
length in soft putties that fail over the
! hands in true Louis style
The length <>f sh-eves may be modi
fled by the sectional effects that are
evident. For short arms the length
wise treatment is suggested in many
st>les. while introductions of lines of
trimming that contribute to the gen- 1
eral effect are legion
Broadly speaking, the size »»f the -
arm and the general design of the j
i coat tune should determine the length
j of your sleeves. The variety is end- j
j less and the effects charming. Sureiv ;
; a woman of discernment should not
‘ make a mistake in the selection of this
important factor in the make-up of a

Novel Way to Decorate the Table 1
N'o .Mechanical achievement has ever
opened up such unexplored realm* of
artistic possibilities. In every held, as
the attainment of night. The influence
has already filtered down through to
such humble arts as hair-dressing and
wall-papering and lable-trimmtng.
Plover conceptions for table decora
tion, that suggest aerial pleasures and
voyages, are being carried out In
various particularly charming fash
ions.
At a recent dinner given for a bride
and groom who were supposed to he
about to na' lgatc the "Seventh Heav
en,” the central point of Interest was
a large toy aeroplane which had been
painted white and hung above the
center of the table. Sprays of white
bridal wreath—any small white flower
would serve—were twined about the
planes and at the wheel sat a tiny;
wax t.’upld. Narrow satin rlhbons
wert. strung from this wheel to each
place and tied to the place .aids.
These were III the fom of large white
butterfly wings, splashed with gold,
and so bent that the wings seemed
poised for flight. In the center of the
table was r low bowl of white roses
and bridal wreath, with here and
there a golden butterfly hovering. If
one docs not happen to he handy at
such things. instead of the white
wings with their touches of gold one
'may* get a roll ol the crepe paper
which Is covered with gorgeous but
terflies of all sizes and colors Fly
cutting thesi- out and pasting on tards.
one may hate most attractive place
cards and winged decorations.
Although the more elaborate table
decorations consist for the most part
of flowers In profusion, candelabra and
Individual electric lamps or candles In
with flower shades, for the small din
ner or luncheon or reception there l«
nothing that may be used to so good
an advantage as ribbon. A most ar
tistic effect was secure at a luncheon
for six, by the use of a dull green
basket filled with pale pink moss
roses Tied to the high handle of ihe
basket was a wide bow of soft ribbon
In one of those blurred pastel effects
In which a dull green melted Into a
faint pink. <*uc end of the how was
carried nofoss to the corner of the
table, and when the table was s. » with
the green and gold handed hina the
offset waa delightfully quaint.
