HINTS ABOUT DRESSES.
While coat sleeves are as tight as they
a be WORN In street suits, Worth Is
gradually reviving fuller sleeves for
house dresses, especially for grand toll
cites. Some Of these suggest the mutt
ton-leg sleeve, a. they are gathered in
ut the arm-hOle, and slope narrower to-
ward the wrist, where they are again
slightly gathered to a narrow band on
the outside seam, ard are finished with
a small nat square cuff. This is very
handsome when the cuff is covered with
lace laid fiat on the outside, and with a
gathered lace frill inside. This is pref
lilly illustrated in q dinner dress of ecru
silk dotted with plum-color, and with
the cuffs nearly covered with Valen-
ciennes lace. Another dinner dress sent
out by Worth Is purple satin, made with
sleeves that have lengthwise puffs on
top, coming down into a gauntlet cuff
that is trimmed with antique black gui-
pure lace. What is known as the Mar
guerite sleeve has q stiff gauntlet-shaped
cuff extending almost up to the elbow,
while the part above is gathered in quite
full, and continued 70 to the armhole;
this is seen in the picturesque dresses of
white and pale-tinted cashmere now
worn by young ladies. The square
guimpe effect may be given to dresses
without cutting out the square piece at
the neck, by putting point d'esprit net
the outside of the basque. First
trim the basque with a double reyers that
quite narrow at the point where
the shoulder scar meets the collar;
the dress is black brocade, have one
revers of satin and one of brocade, let
ting them widen slightly as they descend
the top of the first darts. Then put
the net on, having each front about a
quarter Of a yard wide before it is shir-
red to form a frih at top and bottom,
and let it fill the space inside the revers.
with q satin rOsette or bow at the
foot. Around the neck is a standing
and at the back n turned down
collar may he added. When shirred
fchu draperies are used Of the front of
the basque, they are made to begin On
the shoulder seams, instead of extend
ing around the back, as the latter plan
makes the figure look round-shouldered.
Separate guimpes of muslin puffs and
lace insertion are very much used with
imported silk dresses for young ladies.
For very dressy toilettes white tulle
beaded with pearl is used to fill up the
square or pointed open neck. A quaint
and pretty fashion is that of having
four slender puffs of satin inserted in
on the bosom of velvet dresses;
there r then narrow puffs in the
also. The finish at the wrist of
coat-sleeves remains very plain, consist
of q tiny eve on the upper side
only, q stiff square bow or r~Osette, q
shirred scarf, or else a single
button on the outer seam.-Hdr-
