How to Use Packages of Sleeves A woman who was pouring tea in wn Italian drawing room—in Amer- fea, not Italy—was handed a small package by a messenger from a dressmaker. She opened it before the guests, knowing its contents SLEEVES 1) A DEBU TWO A GOWN WORN BY ANTE _WHICH HANG IN AMERS FROM SHOU! h ARE CAUGHT BE- o} WRIST AND ELBOW BY THREE BANDS OF BLACK CELLU- T.OID INCLOSING A LARGE MEDAL- LION CARVED IN OPEN CHINESE PATTERN. would amuse them.

The sleeveless gown serves for afternoon and evening, but if, for any reason, one wishes the arm covered, there is a package of sleeves put away like handkerchiefs in sachet. One chooses a sleeve to suit & mood or an oc- Look at this pair, for in- stan They are my newest inven- tion, This particular pair was of black cloth, tight fitting from shoulder to elbow, finished from there to the wrist ‘with a flutter of Maypole rib- bons, some blue, some white, some black, some jade. All of them were covered with a strip of black cloth and they were long enough to loop up to a wristlet embroidered in geo- metrical designs in the colors of the ribbon. The youngster in the party was in- terested .in the cousinship between these new sleeves and the ones she wore. Hers consisted of two crepede chine streamers from the shoulders of a sleeveless crepe de chine gown, caught between wrist and elbow by three braclelets of black celluloid, held together by an oblong medallion done in open carving after the Chinese manner. - The dressmakers have found out that the sleeveless gown has such a powerful placé in public affection that it_is impossible to oust it. So they have given in to the public. One sees bare arms, also arms covered by fantastic streamers and embroid- ery wherever women are foregather- ed. The lunch hour at 1 o'clock is not -too informal for a sleeveless frock. Possibly the dressmakers are weary of well doing. If the public wants stale fashions, let .it have them. It is rumored they will revive in the spring collections the plain chemise frock cut in the Egyptian manner: that they have lifted skirts eight and ten inches from the Instep. They leave the sleeve out of gowns and let each wearer choose what she will. (Copyright, 1923) The Diary of a Professional Movie Fan BY GLADYS HALL.

THE ANIWALS,” SAYS Barnum's famed fatters, do not diet. Of course Agnes Avres doesn’t go 80 far as to say that. and I just hate to think what Agnes might not be driven o do were she in any immediate dan- ger of losing her reed-like slender- ness. At any rate, the day may come when such hints as the following will be invaluable to me at least, and for that future contingency I jot down as much as 1 can remember of what Agnes told me one day when we were discuseing beauty and slenderness and style and love affairs, “Don’t diet; eat what you want” proclaimed Agnes. “Back in the good old prehistoric days” she continued, “when men (and women) chose their food by instinct as the_ animals do. there wasn’t any poor health and people lived longer.” Much longer, if I remember my Biblical history. A flapper was a flapper at one hundred and fifty and shook a wicked ankle at two hundred in the good, old days. Good and old, too. “I never dieted in my life, Agnes, who has a serious manner of speaking, when she touches upon serlous topics. “T believe in nature.” (I Agnes were slangy, which Agnes i8 not, she would have said: “Ain’t nature grand?’) - “I believe that na- ture dictates what we want to ecat and what we don’t want to eat, when we want to eat and. when we don't feel like eating it; and if we follow these dictates instead of eating what and when we are told to or supposed to, we will preserve youth, health and beauty much longer and with less worry than we do. My theory is to eat what you want to eat, but do not overeat. The old rule that says to leave the table before you are fully satlated is a good one fo follow. If you keep to these natural eating in- olinations, if you get plenty of sleep, sleep by schedule if it's possible, and if ‘'vou have some form of exercise which you enjoy-—for only the exer- cise you get fun out of is beneficiary —if you do these things, then I don't think it will be long before we will'all £o back to the days of Moses and be fngenues and juvenile lcads at a couple of hundred years!” (Copyright, 1923) The Afternoon Tea PERSONALLY Iike the afternoon tea very much, because it often affords the opportunity of chat- ting more intimately with those bt bur friends whom we see but for a fow moments at evening functions. Then also by giving an afternoon fea one can always meet one’s obll- gations to many people at the same §ime, with considerably less expense. Frankly 1 count it a lucky day fvhen Queen Alexandra hit upon the dea of afternoon tea in England. At L;sz, it is she who has been given Fredit for it. It is sald- that she tarted it when she was the Princess gr Wales. She used to ask friends to rop in of an afternoon for a'chat fi'nn a cup of tea, and it seemed such good idea thaf every one followed § e Xample, until all of England was oing it. Then it was imported to America. Although we Americans have never ecome anything like the devout nglish tea drinkers, nevertheless, the afternoon tea serves many a good urpose. P ho%et the most popular of thess is §he “coming out tea” and dance for @ebutante daughters. Such an en- tertainment may be held at home or §n-a hotel baliroom. However, the gdacorations must not be as elaborate @3 they would be for an evening re- geption or a ball Whether the tea and dance are old in a private drawing room or a otel ballroom, it is customary to draw curtains over the windows, and ihe room must be lighted as for an yening function. » 1t lhgs tea is at a private house, a footman or chaffeur should be at the curb to open doors of arriving auto mobiles, and a butler or a caterer's man must open the door of the house before any of the guests have time to ring thé bell. _The guests are announced as at a formal dinner by the hostess’ butler Pprithe caterer's announcer. The host £ss receives as at a ball, and if she or her daughter for the moment is #tapding alone, the new arrival may peak to them until the mext guest is nnounced. “The daughter should spend an hour ¢ more receiving with her mother, nd then she may go and danc oung people dance after they have haken hands with the hostess, and older people talk and have tea. Usually the tea table is exactly like at at a wedding reception. It is a fl‘xa table set as a buffet, and is in charge of a butler or waitress and as- pistnts. The tea table should contain :fi ehocolate and _coffee, sandwiches es of all kinds, perhaps hot biscuits, ‘rvmpetu, mum} or ntnyux ng ell:"'.l;lxt appropriate a tea: sel o & i inonia ve set fo Provide punch the dancers. The tea, chocolate or coffee, already ‘handed around by & servant, BY JULIA HOYT - (Mrs. Lydig-Hoyt) \HE cosiest and most eajoyable teas are those we may share with our hostess or guests at home. For an informal tea of this kind I always tele- phone my invitation, unless I have a a visiting card invitation—meaning that 1 write on my personal visiting card, “Do come in on Tuesday for a cup of tea.” If to meet any one, I add, “To Lady Waterston” or whoever it may be. 1f one is generally at home on & regu- lar day, the day may be engraved in the left-hand corner of the visiting card. But in these days of rushing from one thing to another, very few women have a regular at home day. On the days of receiving the hostess should be in the drawing room by 8 o'clock. Not that guests come before the appointed time, but because the real ‘hostess warts to look everything over. ‘There is a woman in New York whose home {s" beautifully furnished, but al- ways looks quite formal—that is, al- ways except for tea,, when it underc goes a_transformation under her direc- tion. She has the furniture rearranged to make the room look ‘“‘chummy,” and flowers are set around in vases, giving the whole a very charming cosy atmos- DFEIB. I think I like her teas the best of any. On formal occasions she receives at the door es each guest arrives, but oven then one has the feeling that she is not really formal and is naturally put at her ease. Of course, on informal occasions a hostess neyer stands and receives, but moves among her guests or sits nd chats. When new guests arrive she rises to welcome them, and if they are not acquainted with those present she introduces them to_per- sons with whom they might be con- genial and then sits down again. * ok k¥ N 'small apartments it is permis- sible to have'a tea table set for the afternoon In a corner of the drawing room, with cups and.other tea things in readiness. But in most cases it is more appropriate to have =a small folding table brought in by a servant and placed before the hostess. A cloth should be spread over it, and then the tea tray brought in. The teapot tray should contain -the urn; with a spirit lamp burning, teapot, sugar bowl and tongs, cream pitcher, tea mfl G:l’rl and saucers, sliced lemon small plates with a tiny nap- kin between each. . The servant hands around small sand- wiches and_cakes or toasted muffins. Sometimes, however, these are included on the tea tabl d guests help them- ‘selves.

The children of today must face demands which we did not face. They need things we did not need. But do they need allowances? And what effect will al- lowances have on their characters? Many American parents want to know these things. It would be a comparatively easy matter for me to write my personal opinfon on the subject. but such an article would be of little value. The public needs to hear the experiences of alb kinds of people dealing with all sorts of conditions. The experi- ences and opinions of parents and teachers are particularly desired.

Then, one day, a8 woman with fmagi- nation had the idea that if the old yellowed keyboard were taken out, and the space behind it fitted with pigeon-holes an® drawers, she would have a lovely little desk. said than done,” as the fairy tales say. The spinet graduated from the neg- lected corner to a prominent place be- tween.the windows. The idea spread among other wom- en, and to all the antique shops in the country. All the little old spinets had their vitals removed and their ancient ivory keys replaced with ink pots and letter racks, blotter corners and stamp boxes. The size and shape of the desk was as charming as the old instrument had been, and women who had no_spinets handed down from their Great-aunt Marias began to prowl among the antlques in dusty shops hunting for them. Of course, it was not long before the furniturs manufacturers caught the vogue, and now one may buy at- tractive little spinet desks that never creaked to the sound of the keys or shook to the earnest pedaling of small feet in the long-ago. They are brand-new, but are faithful copies of the little eld spinets, and If you can- not have one of the genuine antiques, you may still have a spinet-desk at which to pen your notes. ‘There are some women, to be suré— and I am one of them—who would rather have the quaint little instru- ment unchanged—yellowed keys and all, even if I never had a desk! My own old melodeon stands with an old singing book on its rack, and two old .pewter candlesticks at each end of the keyboard—as demure and old- fashioned as a little old lady in a cap.

E thing that differentiates the man of modern times in a civil- ized community from the man of primitive times or of an uncivilized community is that for the one the ability to keep track of time down to the minute is essential, while for the other there is no such requirement. ‘What would the great cities of mod- ern clvilization be if every one did not have the same time? How could we possibly manage if trains and cars did not run on something like exact time schedule; what if theaters did not begin at a definjte time; what it offices and stores did not have a defi- nite time to open? In the old days, you know, the ob- ject of church bells and courthouse bells and school bells was to tell people who Ived in the adjoining re- glon that church, or court or school would soon begin..

Those bram- bles were too thick-for any one as big as Reddy Fox. He saw how used up Old Jed Thumper was and he grinned wickedly. “That fellow is half starved, and that means he haen't got much strength,” muttered Reddy to him- self. “Had he had to run a few feet turther I would have caught him. There isn’t anything to eat in that bramble tangle, and those Rabbits can't stay there a great while. At least, Old Jed Thumper can't. He will have to get something to eat. Peter Rabbit looks plump. ~He looks as it he had had plenty to eat. I remem- ber now that I saw & lot of food down™M the Ol4 Briar Patch, left there by Farmer Brown's Boy. Of course, Poter is strong and can go without food for some time, 111 Just forget him and watch for Old Jed Thumper. : So after snarling dreadful threats at Peter and Old Jed Thumper, Reddy trotted away. He didn’'t even glance back. He went just as if he was bound for some other place far away, But_the instant he was out of sight of Peter and Old Jed Thumper he turned and swiftly circled naround until he could creep up pehind some bushes where he could watsh that bramble tangle. Then he lny down on the snow, curled his big bushy tail around So as to keep his toes and hin nose warm, fixed his eyes on that bramble tangle nnd prepared for a long wait. It took poor Old Jed Thumper some time to get his breath again. When be did, he was so tired he shook all over. Peter felt sorry for him. Yes, sir, Peter felt truly sory for him. He forgot that Old Jed Thumper had ever been an enemy, and the big gray Rabbit seemed to hava forgotten that he ever had disliked Peter. Common trouble often makes friends of one- time enemies. After a while Old ‘Jed Thumper eemed to be quite himself again, and Peter became anxious to get Lack. to_the dear Old Briar Patch. &0 on now, don't you?" asked Peter. Old Jed Thumper shook his head very decidedly. “No,” sald he, “I don’t."” “Why not?’ demanded Peter. “Reddy Fox is probably over in the Green Forest by this time.’ “Don’t you believe it,” replizd Old Jed Thumper. “I know that red rob- ber. He's watching this bramble tangle this very minute. I don't know where he is, but he is some- where where he can see this bramble tangle. He knows I'm half starved, and he knows there's nothing to eat in this bramble tangle. He will just wait for me to come out. I'm as sure of it as I am that my ears are Peter didn't really belisve it. e thought it wag just the result of the dreadful fright Old Jed Thumper had had. But somehow he couldn't g0 off and leave Old Jed Thumper, so he staved and grew more and more im- patient. He was beginning to’ get hungry himself, and he wanted to get back to the dear Old Briar Patch. After a long, long time who should come along but Bowser the Hound. Bowser had taken it into his head to visit the Old Pasturé. He sniffed in the bramble tangle, but he wasn't in- terested in Rabbits. Peter and Old Jed Thumper watched him go on. Sudenly there was a roar of his great volce, and out from behind some bushes sped Reddy iox with Bowser after him. Old Jed Thumper looked at Peter. “I told you o, sald he. (Copyright, 1823, by T. W.
