The evolution of the sleeve, from

interesting example of the influence
Of fashion on taste. 1t is, of course,
an accepted fact that fashions must
change, otherwise the styles OF dress
would become a WEAKNESS to the eye,
but if IL limit could be put on the
variations in sleeves that would keep
them within the range of beauty and
graceful outline 1T would be a step
toward improvement. Some of the
styles are modernizcd COPIES of slcev

about 1862, remarked that sit is the
