The fancy sleeves for evening dresses or
afternoon, for dressy occasions, are pulled
and otherwise ornamentod in ways almost
impossible to describe. One was of white
and blue line silk on the forearm, to III atch

and bow of mazarin blue velvet ribbon.
Another fancy sleeve was all of white
silk crape-the stiff crisp kind-and this
was series of six puffs. the upper one
standing up and the lower one dropping.
The four center ones were smaller, though
unequal in size. The forearm was plain,
but had "A black velvet cuff turned upward
to a point and having rosettc of narrow
black velvet ribbon on the wrist. This
kind of sleeve was worn with a white
china silk dress, where there was a mar

waist. One more fancy sleeve, and shall

purple and green or red and blue. Some
have rough effects made by straws of differ

hat, and just under the bent part of the
