WOMAN'S PAGE. dom v ~ Elaborate Treatment of Sleeves BY MARY MARSHALL, Sleeves are coming up for more elab- orate treatment than they have recetved for many a day, and before long sleeves may indicate the vintage of a dress, as ‘TOP LEFT, CUFF OF FINE WHITE | BEAD EMBROIDERY ON BLACK SILK DRESS. TOP RIGHT, DEEP CUFF OR ERMINE TRIMMING ON LACK VELVET COAT SLEEVE. LEFT, GATHERED GEOR- GETTE CUFF AND BOW ON CREPE SLEEVE. CENTER they did a generation . Recently 1t has been the skirt len;.r and the plac- ing of the waistline that have told the story, and sleeves have remained almost unchanged from one season to the next. ‘The short sleeve, ending just above the elbow or 3 or 4 inches below the shoulder, has been accepted for resort year and will surely prevail this Spring and Summer. Straight, short cap sleeves are found on the new sgorts dresses, A practical advantage of sleeves of this sort is that they protect the shoulders from sunburn. the fashion point of view, they have the hasizing the slender- s . Long sleeves both on dresses and coats show a tendency to carry the burden of the trimi below the el- bow. Always they should be long to cover the wrist. ‘There are many ways that this new sleeve trimming may be added to & last season’s frock. Matching georgette may be applied in a gathered panel from wrist to elbow and finished with bowed strips of the material, or the old sleeve may be cut off below the elbow and its place taken by a full undersleeve fin- ished with a close-fitting cuff. Little capes are used instead of short jackets in some of the new ensembles for resort wear. If you want to make an inexpensive little costume, you may make a pleated skirt of silk and one of these little capes to be worn over a dainty, light-weight blouse. If you would like a diagram pattern for the little cape, with directions for making, please send your stamped, self-addressed lope to Mary Marshall, care of this paper, and it will be forwarded to you.

Two letters opened in succession (from Mrs. J. D. C. and Mrs. B. N) asked the same question. What can & mother do about the “teasing” prob- lem in the household? In one case it was & 5-year-old boy who constantly tormented his 2-year-old sister, and in the other a boy of 7 and a girl of 5 who were unable to play together 5 minutes without fighting and teasing. ‘Teasing is an all-inclusive word and is used somewhat loosely. All is not teasing that the mother may so term. Suppose the 5-year-old takes away the 2-year-old’s toys in order to play with them himself. That isn't teas- ing. If he takes the toys away just to annoy the small child and not be- cause he himself is the least interested in them, then that would be teasing. If the 7 and 5 year old fight and nag at each other, that isn't literally teasing. If the 7-year-old says, “I won't walk to school with you because you're so fat every one makes fun of you,” then very likely he is making use of the one weapon which will most certainly rile his 5-year-old _sister whose existence is mi miserable by her chubbiness. Real teasing is a sport which is enjoyed by the teaser because his words or acts get the other fellow's “goat.” ‘The teaser always singles out the vic- tim's weaknesses and plays upon them. The selfish child is deprived of his possessions because his anger and despair are so amusing to those who are teas- ing him. The greedy child is told there be anything more to eat, that his mother has given everything away. The girl whose curls are her pet vanity is sure to be threatened with scissors and their . immediate loss. If the mother views teasing with an impartial eye she may find there are some whole- some lessons in it, for the teased child may make such an effort to hide his weaknesses that he ultimately brings about a real reformation. ‘The best weapon against teasing is to remain unruffled and undisturbed by it. There is nothing that is more of a bore than to sneak up and pull the hair ribbon from a small girl who is expected to cry but instead says, “Throw it away, I hate ribbons any- wa She can wear one forever after that with little danger of interference. ‘The 8-year-old boy is bullying. not teasing the 2-year-old, and should be sent outdoors to play with children his own size. The B and 7 year old should be left alone, since they are fairly well matched. If the mother doesn’t take sides, both will develop sufficient pro- tection to make the teasing harmless. After all, the best lesson the children can learn is to vparry these teasing thrusts so that they won't make an impression. All childréen meet with teasing at school and if they are shel- tered too much, certain to bear even greater burdens when they go to school. Show children how to laugh off teas- ing, or to find a vulnerable spot in the opponent and they will have learned a useful and whol e lesson. The teaser who meeds discipline is the grown-up teaser whose victim is a child. What he needs is social ostra- cism—anything else is too good for him. e Church Aids Love Letters, Criticised because he has put in a special dance floor in the church hall, Rev. E. J. 8.

Arnold learned German at 40, for the sake of reading Niebuhr in the original. James Watt, at about the same age, while working at his trade of instrument maker in Glasgow, made himself acquainted with French, Ger- man and Italian, in order to peruse the valuable works in those languages on mechanical philosophy. Handel was 48 before he published any of his great works. Sir Isaac Newton, when at school, stood at the bottom of the low- ermost form but one. Barrow, the great English divine and mathematician, ‘when a boy at the Charterhouse School, 'was notorious for his idleness and indif- ference to study. Dean Swift made & disastroys failure at the university. Walter tt was a dull lad at his les- sons and while a student at Edinburgh University received his sentence from f. alzell, the celebrated Greek scholar, that “dunce he was and dunce he would remain.” Wellington never gave any indications of talent until he was brought into the field of practical effort and was described by his strong- minded mother, who thought him little hotter than an idiot, as fit only to be “food for powder.” . Many illustrious Americans are repre- sented by descendants and yet many well-known names have died with their owners. Shakespeare’s eldest daughter, Susanna, was married at Stratford June 6, 1607, to John Hall. There was only one child. The youngest daughter was married to Thomas Quiney. At Shakespeare's death, 1616, the ?’nmfly consisted of his wife, his daughter Susanna and her husband, Dr. Hall; Judith and Thomas Quiney, and Eliza- beth Hall, a granddaughter. Judith Quiney had several chiidren, who were all dead in 1639, The poet's grand- daughter, Elizabeth Hall, was married in 1626 to Thomas Nash, who died in 1647 without children; and secondly, in 1649, to John Barnard, by whom she had no family. She died in 1670. Thus in 54 years, Shakespeare's line, both male and female, came to an end. Milton, the t, left female descendants only, and his family is believed long since to have ceased to exist. A woman named Clarke some years ago claimed to be the last descendant of John Milton. 8ir Joshua Reynolds, Cowper, the poet: Pope, Locke, Seldon, Thomas Campbell, Oliver Goldsmith, Wilkie, Dean Switt, ¢ Newton, Hogarth, Turner, the landscape painter; Edmund Burke, Pitt left no descendants. Not- withstanding the anxiety of Sir Walter Scott to establish a family inheritance, his direct race has perished and those of but sl&(ht relationship inherited his lands and money.
