FANCY SLEEVES FOR SUMNER GOWN.
vet ribbon at the elbow, and q flounce of
tho same falling half way over the fore
arm, edged with fiat insertion. The fore
arm is trimmed in the same way.
The fancy sleeves for evening dresses or
afternoon, for dressy occasions, are puffed
and otherwise ornamented in ways almost
impossible to describe. One was of white
and blue line silk ON the forearm, to IN atch
the dress. The upper part was a puff of
white silk Grape, arranged so that one por-
ton dropped downward, and the other
was pulled upward in a sort of she'll
like series of pufs and fastened by a band
and bow of mazarin blue velvet ribbon.
Another fancy sleeve was all of white
silk crape-the stiff crisp kind-and this
was q series of six pufs, the upper one
standing up and the lower one dropping.
Tho o u center mes were smaller, though
unequal in size. The forearm was plain,
but had a black velvet cuff turned upward
to a point and having a rosette of narrow
black velvet ribbon on the wrist. This
kind of sleeve was worn with q white
china silk dress, where there was a mar
guerite puff round the bottom of the
waist. One more fancy sleeve, and I shall
say no more about them this time for fear
they become monotonous. This sleeve was
to wear with a very pretty dress of striped
and crinkled crepon. There was one large
balloon puff, and the fullness of this was
gathered down to the lining on the upper
side and held in, leaving q division. Be-
low this was an accordion plated frill,
headed by a band of jet passementerie.
There was another plated frill at the
wrist and two fancy jet buttons. I may

sleeves. These were generally Of velvet or
very rich silk, with the slashes filled in
with silk or Grape of a contrasting color.
Some of the new straw hats have crowns
of one color and brims Of another, like
purple and green or red and blue. Some
have rough effects made by straws of differ
emit color woven in, but with so much trim
ming as is placed on them and the facings
of shirred tulle or italian Grape one sees
very little of the hat itself. One hat where
the rough straw was made of green and
white strands had q mass of trimming
consisting of green MORE ribbon of the
exact silvery green of the under side Of
poplar leaves. There was besides a grape
vine, with it's creamy white tufts of bios
SONS, it's tendrils and finally two punches
of green grapes of different sizes. This
was placed artistically on the top of the
hat, and just under the bent part of the
brim was a small cluster of ripe grapes and
the faded leaves. The whole hat was really
poetic.
I have noticed that the different shades
of green appear to be very popular. They
begin in grays, where the green is scarce
~ more than a suggestion, and then they
are seen in sage, a frosty whitish tint over
casting it; then in reseda, which is of a
rusty tinge. There is grasshopper green,
lettuce, cabbage, poplar, apple, nile, and
then it stsays into the MOSES, myrtles,
olives and lastly the emeralds. the Lincoln
and hunters green and bottle green. I
think more than likely I have left out sew
eral distinct shades. Green is certainly a
pleasing color, but the wearer must know
how to treat 1t. There are green's that
dark or sallow persons should keep ut a
distance from face, neck or hands, and
then there are others that make such per
sons look fair. They must be studied.
