LADIES SLEEVES. A Paris paper gives the
origin OF the big sleeves which are so fashiona-
BILE in Europe and America. A lady of rank in
Paris, had daughter whose shoulders and arms
were deformed from the effects of disease in
early infancy. To conceal these defects, and
set off the person of her daughter the lady de-
vsed the full sleeve, and the cause not being
known, the fashion was admired and generally
adopted. The Partisan bellies have recently
discovered that the fashion was contrived to
cover personal defects, and this circumstance
brought it into discredit with them.
