Rumor reaches America that the most
fashionable ladies of Paris are going
from one extreme to the other in the
matter of the shape of the sleeve, and
that the very clOse-tittlng style will, in
a measure at least, give way to \ full
flowing one. The ..pagoda" and san
yer' sleeves are to be worn, as well as
The artistic '.Vandyke" and leg-o'-mut-
.on shapes. Pulled sleeves are to be in
varied STYLES, and sleeve-distenders and
'arm-improvers" are to be worn with
sleeves cut close up the shoulder and a

One of the newest of the fashionable
.orsages for autumn wear is made of
black velvet, open, over waistcoat OF
black satin, heavily embroidered in
olack silk floss. 1t fastens at the throat
oy knot of black satin ribbon match
ing the vest. The back fits the figure
closely, ending in a position basque,
but in front it is loose-fitting over the
waistcoat, which is closed by row of
small jet buttons set very closely togeth-
sr. The sleeve is close and small, with.
a full puff at the top, and buttoning up
the back of the arm nearly to the ell
bow This corsage is to be worn over
skirts of any description, particularly
those of silk or brocade.
Autumn mantles of dressy style are
made either in the visite shape, with sash
lrapery in the back, or in modified Hub
bard shape, these lined with deep Vene
tian red and trimmed with satin and
lace, the favorite material of the wrap
being a fine quality of black yigogne.
These shapes seem likely TO continue in
fashion through the autumn, while the
stylish French redingote is preferable
for fabrics of heavier description. The
black satin pelisse, lined with bright
colored surah and trimmed with real
spanish lace. shell plaitings, and tlots
of black satin ribbon, or with broad
bands of jet-beaded applique work,
forms an elegant transition from the
light summer wrap to the heavy winter
cloak.-N. y Post.
