and very warm and make the ideal winter
driving gl1ves.
It really seems as IL wOmen's hands and
arms we're claiming more attention than
they had ever done before. In sleeves one
sees fanciful aud almost startling designs
in cut aud make and trimming
Some Of the modes are very becoming
and pretty. and they impart a neat finish 10
sleeve which the ful pufiings often lack.
The very high shoulder puffs are no
longer in vogue, although a great deal Of
fullness is still permissible at the shoulder,
and there is very slight elevation at the
top Of the sleeve. The under side of the
sleeve Is made plain in almost all of the new
models and the trimming is put upon the
upper side. One very pretty sleeve has a
full putting extended from the shoulder
half way to the elbow. From there to the
wrist the sleeve is tightly buttOned with
row of the smallest horn buttons.
A dress Of striped material has the
stripes so arranged that they extend in
points down the outside Of the sleeve. The
sleeve IS faced with pale blue satin, and
pale blue satin point is turned back over
the cuff and is caught in place with a large
white pearl button. The sleeves of a certain
tweed dress which has been very much ad
mired are trimmed from the elbow to the
wrist with bands Of braid, and the braid is
fastened by velvet buttons.
None Of the new cloth dresses have per-
fectly plain sleeves; and il one may be per-
mitted to judge Of a whole dress by a sin
gle sleeve one may say that just in proper
ton to the elegance OF the dress are the
sleeves made more and more fancifuL
For evening wear very grotesQue effects
are produced. They are beautifully gro
tesque, however, and are decidedly pictur-
esque in their Deculiarities. 1t is the aim
to have the effect classic, and a woman
with a handsome neck and shoulders has
~ 70 la Il nj, Of
herself il she chooses to dress with little
taste.
One Of the most beautiful of the sleeves Of
these picturesque evening gowns has a broad
band of braidlng or passementerie which
extends over the top of the shoulder. This
shoulder is then left bare to be covered
little lower down with another band of the
passementerie put on in broader fashion, so
as TO form the top Of a short puff sleeve.
Elbow gloves are worn with this sleeve,
and the effect is prettier than can be de-
scribed.
Another evening gown has O shoulder puff
put on in epaulette fashion, so as to imitats
a lamp shade. It is made of silk, and the
silk is tied with a cord leaving a slight puff
at the top which is gathered on at the
shoulder The silk is then laid upon the
sleeve in narrow plaitings and is pulled in
donble putting to the elbow. Still another
style, which is still more clas-ic has an
upon the shoulder, setting off the whitenes5
Of the skin in beautiful effect. A very
heavy putting Of chiffon extends from under
the epaulette and makes a short shoulder
sleeve.
An infinite variety Of these fancy sleeves
is possible and, by the exercise of little
skill and artistic taste, q woman can man
age to hide her defects and bring out her
good points. so that she ia thing of beauty
in her evening gown. even If she is not so in
her street dress.
Our grandmother, who were the proud
and happy owners of only one silk gown
ana who considered themselves fortunate to
have such a possession, would be amazed
beyond expression if they could know the
reckless extravaganza with which we in our
day use the precious silk. Ali the new
gowns are lined with silk or satin. Satin
mervellleu Is of a fine, firm, yet heavy
texture which edapts itself beautifully for
q dress lining, and, therefore, it is Of satin
! mervellieu that the newest dress Innings are
made. One must take very good care to
| get quality of silk for lining which will
not crack or cut; or otherwise there will be
| the unpleasantuess of finding lining all
| cut and worn when the outside of the dress
| 10 still as good as new.
The same thing holds true Of skirt lin
ings. No skirt hangs as well as the one
| which is lined with silk, but one must be
very careful to get silk which will not
crack or the skirt lining will be gone before
| the skirt has been worn half a dozen times.
The hats ct the new year are ever SO
| pretty, and for once, 81 least, they are rot
very expensive, and thew are CAPABLE, too,
of readjustment at home, which makes
one hat do the work of half dozen.
''See how 1 cheat the puolic,n exclaimed
bhthe little artist, as she was dressing her
! self to go out TO a luncheon party. This
| black velvet hat with the soft crown is be-
! coming to me on all occasions and vary
| its appearance By changing the bows or
/ ribbon upon it. The top. you see, is COW
cred with jet, and that, OF course, l never
need to change, but right here upon the
brim there is place that requires little
butterfly bow, and here I pin a pale
| blue bow, q pale corn colored one,
white one or any other kind that like.
| To-day l wear heliotrope gown, and so,
you see, am pinnlng heliotrope butterfly
bow upon the rim Of my hat. 1t makes it
seem as il | had hat to match every gown,
when really it is always the same one
Then, you see, l change the strings also,
and thus it is that | cheat the public into
| thinking that | am woman of boundless
resources in dress, when really can only
| boast Of few little bits of fnery and orna-
ments, judiclously managed"
Aud 30 it was throughout the entire
category of this little artists wardrobe, yet
everything was neat aud nicely planned, SO
that there was no suggestion of makeshift
or sham. And this effect, without undue
expenditure, is what every woman really
desires in planning her wardrobe.
