Oversleeves slashed up the outsido to

by many fine horl

So ubiquitous Is the undersleeve trimmed
In lace frills or composed wholly of deeper
lace frills that It la said to be largely re
sponsible for the scarcity of good Valen
ciennes edging, and the vogua of the laca

net top laces onue more Into prominence.
Plaited frills may be used In place of
shirred frills, and these are particularly
pretty In a very sheer material such as silk
muslin or finest lingerie stuff with hem
stitched edges, which may or may not be
finished by narrow edging of real Valen
ciennes. Undersleeves made with several rather
deep frills of fine embroidery edging and
with Valenciennes two or three Inches wide
frilled under tha deep scalloped edge of
each embroidery frill are attractive for
frocks of Unen, and undersleeves of very
fine allover English embroidery, held In by
a broad band of beading through which
ribbon la run to tied In fluttering knots
at the elbow, are also attractive and prao-

French makers use auch undersleeves as
this, but hand embroidered in openwork

In. connection with dressy frocks of silk or

elaborate afternoon gowns.
Soft puffs of chiffon or other sheer ma

Timely Gossip for
When Is a Mas aa Old Maldf
ALLIR ERMINE RIVES Is one of
H
m
many famous women who discuss
the question. "When is a maid
an old maid?" In tha July House
keeper. She says:
"The
certain
phrase 'old maid' atands for a
prlmnesa and severity which are
the badges of loneliness, aloofness, lack
of the close sympathy which married life
should bring, and the repression of In
stinct and the sensitiveness and pride which
battle with the consciousness of these de
ficiencies. Many married women are never
thought of as old maids, and plenty of old
maids are married.
"The women who have not the slightest
Inclination to become wives, who, without
being masculine In their predilections,
merely prefer their freedom, are not the
sort who most often acquire the term "old
maid.' Such a one may be the bachelor
maid, tha devotee of Isms, the cool-headed
business woman, but she lacks In the
broader sense the womanliness ever to de
Serve the term 'old maid.' The bachelor
maid doea not understand her limitations,
as doos the real old maid. The bachelor
maid la blind to her own insufficiency In
the sex scheme of nature.
"The real old maid, on the other hand,
Is more essentially womanly. She ,knowt
her lack: she belongs in the side street,
not In the business block. Her's is the
atmosphere of white linen, of lavender, of
yellow letters and of dusty memories.
Your real old maid Is set far above the
other classes of unmarried women, the
'bachelors.' For the real old maid has
hungered all her life for marriage, and
the deepest thing In her heart Is the
ache for the little child.
"Bvery true woman hungers for marriage.
If she does not to that extent she has
missed the meaning of life. The more
fiercely a woman deniea thla truth, tha
more certain Is she of it In her own soul.
No woman or education is better off single
than as the wife of a poor struggler."
