THE COURIER. 11 IILL8 OP LACE INSIDE THE CUFFS. A moat treasonable practico struggling 5r a foothold Jb that of indiBcrimately rimming eleeves. There 1b only one ray a elccvo can ever be trimmed and i at 1b on the length of the arm. Any toman who knows the difference bo- reen grace and gracelesBness will never Iry to destroy the long line, running from Bhoulder to finger tips, by break- g it at the elbow and by adding trim ling again between elbow and shoulder, lor immediately when that is done her raiet line begins to shorten. On a tout woman elbow decoration is an inormity, but from Paris come eug- jestioDB nevortheleBB in favor of hang ing a row of fringe at top, bottom and fmidway of sleeves, else a bracolet effect In embroidery is done there, or a fanci ful pattern in etitchery, and on some of the most sumptuous costumes a lace or tmbroidered encrustation cIbbdb the irm at the elbow and sends out sprays llong the outBide of the arm to com tunicate with cuff and shoulder and lide the seam. In relation to sleeves it Is necessary to report that women will jegin again this fall to put frills of lace Inside their knuckle long cuffe, but that this will only be done on the gown that is meant to play a very ceremonious part. New York Sun. KTHE THEATRE FROM THE INSIDE That there are five thousand theatres in America, and that one million and a half people attend them each week-day I night, spending seventy millions of .dollars a year on theatre-going, are the i surprising facts with which Mr. Fraklin iFyles, the dramatic editor of the New York Sun, will open an important series in the next Issue of the Ladies' Home (Journal. The series will be called "The Theatre and ItB People' and will run through seven numbers of the magazine, : lavishly illustrated with pictures made . by twelve different artists. The articles will treat of every phrase of the theatre, the play and the actor, from the inside and will toll how a theatre is managed, :the actual money which playa have made; how an actor la trained and what the actors are actually paid; bow a play Is written and what the authors receive; : how a play is rehearsed; the first night of a play; how the actresses "make up' and what they use; and in a minute way the two last articles will show what goes on behind the scenes on a stage during a performance. It is a curious fact that this will be the first time that the theatre and the actor have ever been exhaustively treated in a magazine, and that there h no book on the subject in existence. HIS FIDUS ACHATES. Mrs. Witherby I met Mre. Planking ton this morning, and she told me about her husband. Witherby What about him? Mra. Witherby Oh, the way he has been cutting up! Witherby Is that really bo? By Jove, I never should have suspected such a thing. It's too bad that he hasn't, any moro self-respect. What's the fellow been doing, anyway? Mrs.' Witherby-Oh, everything! She eaye that while she was away, last Summer, he carried on at a great rate. Witherby How did she find it out? Mra. Witherby Oh, someone told her about the noise in the bouse. Witherby Some kind and thoughtful neighbor, I Buppose, who only had her good at heart. Well, well, what did be eay about it? Mrs. Witherby-Oh, he confessed ft an. Witherby That shows there is somo Kood in him. Did he tell her all the 'things he did? Mrs. Wltherby-Ob, yes. He drank! Witherby You don't say! I suppose ho asked the boys around, and sat up all hours of the night playing poker? MrB. Witbnrby Yes, and other dread ful things. Witherby-Sad, isn't it? Beats all why a man should want to make a beast of himself. Well, I sympathizes with her. Such a nice woman, too! WLat else did she say? Mrs. Witherby (carelessly) Oh, she mentioned the fact that when she and I were away, this Summer, you and he were inseparable. The Housemaid. IN CHICAGO. Who was the fellow who bowed to you? I don't remember his name, but he was the nicest fellow I ever married. I can tell a lie the minute I hear it. You can beat that Liarby. You can tell one the minute you think of it. My wife is now engaged in the pleas ant occupation of unpacking all the things she brought home from Europe with her. Then you'd better take dinner at my house tonight. Dinner! Can't you put mo up for a week or ten days? j Ingenious Sounding; Apparatas. Rapid-test soundings were rcqulrod in some work on a railway line be tween Paris and Havre, where the caBt iron viaduct of Bezous was replaced by an arch bridge alongside. Tho old foundations for six channel piers were removed to the bottom of the river. It ' was required that the river bed should bo carefully leveled. After it had been dredged the bottom was explored by means of a horizontal bar of Iron about twenty feet long, which wa3 sus pended at each end from a framework uniting two flatboats In catamaran fashion. This beam was lowered close to the bottom and tho boats were gradually moved along in the direction tranpverse to the length of the bar. When the scraper encountered no Ir regularity the suspending chains hung vertically, but as soon as either on-1 was deflected by contact with any ob struction an electric circuit was closed, which caused an alarm to bo rune. Tho boat was stopped and the obstruc tion located by means of Hounding poles. In this way small stones down to a diameter of four inches were eas ily located and the bed of the river was leveled to within that amount of Irregularity. This method proved rapid and successful. Savannah News. The Heawon'M Henawtlon. Tho sensation of the seaaon in New port hta been MIbs Virginia Fair's pet donkey, Persimmon, and his appear ance at Mrs. Stuyveeant Fish's dance. The dance was given for Miss Marlon Fish, the dric-ter of e house, In Mrs. Fish's new villa. When the gay ety had well begun Persimmon ap peared in the ballroom decked in flow ers, with his shoeless hoofs glided, hitched to a tiny cart In which were the "favors" for the dance, which were baskets of flowers tied with white rib bons. Persimmon behaved nobly. He had been In the eye of the 400 before, when, In 1895, he won a prize at tha pony, parade given by Mrs. Calvin S. Brlce. First Cannibal Did you onjoy eating that silly follow? Second Cannibal Yob, you know I like simple food. Every machine politician tries to gt himself vindicated by being elected to some oflice before he retires to private life. He seems to consider the public a door mat on which he can wipe his feet before passing into history. You say your wife is starving. Can't you get work? Yes, sir; but sho can't?
