A SHORT CHAPTER ON SLEEVES.

Verify this season is the apotheosis of
the dress sleeve completed. A few years
ago this now important feature OF the
gown was a simple, close, unassuming
little essential of the gown, like the gown
or the baleuse underneath the skirt. You
could almost make it out of the frag-
ments left after the gown was cut. 1t
fitted the arm as close as the skirts now
fit the hips, as close rs the skin Itself
yes, closer, for you can bend your arm
in the skin, and you couldn't bend it in
those sleeves. The fitting of those little,
close sleeves was the bette noir of dress
makers and ~tailors, and required more
time and patience than the shaping of the
bodice itself. But gradually the sleeve
loosened, its severe little buttoned wrist
was relieved with a cuff or fold of trim
ming, aud so it grew and broadened and
heightened and heightened until now the
old order changes. You must plan your
sleeve first, and out of the remnants fash
ion your skirt so skinny aud snug and
close. As to the material it may be any
thing from the choicest lace and gauze
to rich brocade, heavy with jewels, no
matter what the gown is. l saw a plain
rough gray wool on the avenue recently
with sleeves of black gauze pulled over
yellow silk. If you have an old close
sleeve, cut it out of the armhole in some
Jagged, rough fashion, slash it and seal
lop it,and putin a great big puff of some
thing as entirely different from it as pos
sible. Then put two deep platings around
it just below the elbow, q frill of lace at
the wrist, and all the other girls will be
trying to copy it as the work of cleverest
of French modistes. Slit an old sleeve
anywhere and let in a puff or rufle or e3-
cresence of any kind with any excuse for
being, and you have distinctly a new
sleeve.
Just a word of advice: II you live on
a small allowance, buy your sleeves first
and then on the rest of the gown do your
economizing, both in material and
amount. The first essential of the stylish
gown is a pair of sleeves, ample in pro
portion aud elegant in substance.-Neu
