ADVICE T0 SHOPPERS.

The tight long sleeve is well estab-

lished, and perhaps no woman needs a warning against the klmouo shape. which _is still shown in many garmeiits. it is tolerated only when the sleeve reaches to the wrisimaiid when it is tight _below the elbow. but this is thc only form in which it should lie con- sidered by a woman buying new clotlies.

The fitted sleeve is much better iii

every way, for thc perversion oi' the urmliolc has been it nuisance to the wearer. No sleeve is as comfortable as the one set into a regulation arm- hoic that is properly cut. Ali, there's tlio rub. When is the armliole well placed? Once out of twelve tinics. lt is too small or two large. to ini' over tho arm-the usual trouble-or too deep at the back. in the cut of a sim- plc arinliole there is needed the high- ost mastery oi' one's trade as a cutter.

Coats or loose blouses that have tho

raglan sleeve are noi. to he avoided. 'l‘liis season that especial simile IS HC' copied, and it is exceptionally comfort- able. lt Is'not strictly tuslilonnblo. mind you, and it docs not look \vcll on every shoulder, but tliei-c is no reason against buying a gai'i'nent which has it ifthe urchaser likes it.

The oilliciw sleeve in every form is

second cis. s. Even in informal dinner gowns and blouses it does not rank with its two siiccessors-tlie DirG0~ toirs, and the Grecian. One shows all the at-ni. or none. That is the law.

SHOVEL SNOW,-Now that the

snow is here, the order comes to every householder. “shovel snow.” This is a repeat order from past years. lt has not always been obeyed. lt is understood that this year every citi- zen must bear his own burden-that is, that everybody who has a right to shovel snow oi`t` his sidewalk must not leave it to his neighbour or the taxpayers to do it, but must do it him- self or pay the city. This is only fair, and the authorities will be uphold by all law-abiding citizens it' they insist upon it.

The ladies were most fortun- riic in securing the help of Judge Ste- -~ -“t who gave an excellent and con- i>..~ address on the war and its cause.. il ~ in-Id the audience throughout and ‘.v:~s the recipient of great applause in I .: not » of thanks. The Rev. Geo. lr-. '~i_~, pre' led as chairman, discharg- int the rI~~1ies most acceptably. Not- ulvo on ili_~ programmcwere the vocal se;tc'..cn.~ of Miss Annie Sutherland, who has become a prime favorite with the audiences, and that of Walter Found, who always makes a hit. The fillet! by Cameron and Mrs. McGregor was well received. The reading, Tommy Atldiis. by Mrs. Waiter Found, was if 'bit out oi’ the ordinary and the house showed its approval, 'while the \“6&dllI8 by M'f:i Ruth McGregor was also favorably ""cefved.

IN THE KITCHEN.

When choosing beef press it with

tiiethiinib, :ind ii' it rises quickly it is of good finality.

Wrap boiled or roasted meat tiiat is

to be used cold iii ii perfectly clean, iiiolst ciotli nnd it will innlie it more tender.

To wliiton it doorstep mix ti litilo

quick-limo with half ii pint of skim milk. Hiivhig first washed the door- step. paint it over with this mixture, and tho rain will not wash it off.

When iiiaking ii ground rice pudding

a great improvement to it is to add two teaspooniiils oi’ corn flour to the mix- ture. 'i hir: makes it. very creamy, and adds greatly to thc flavor.

When cooking klppors place them

on ii dish or ii tin with :i piece of butter on each; cover one lenve in a. fairly heated oven for ten minutes. This method preserves the juice and the iiovor of the fish. When not required for immediate use put tho yolks of eggs in n htisiii and just cover them with cold water; place a plate on the basin to exclude the air and stand in a dark, cool place until wanted.

When a chimney smokes open the

window of the room for ten minutes before the fire is lighted, and not at the time, as is generally done. -The best way to keep eggs fresh is to cover them with fresh lard or with beeswax dissolved in warm olive oil- oiio part of the wax to two of oil i the proper proportion.
