FOR SLIM ARMS.
Sleeves That Make Thin Ones Look
Plump.


In the case of a slim arm the circular
trimming is the best, as it tends to add
to the apparent size, while too plump
arm may be made more slender by the
upright trimmings.
A favorite sleeve for the plain cloth
gown, which admits of little garniture,
has the arm fitted quite snugly almost
TO the shoulder, narrowing down to abb
solute tightness at the wrist, where it
spreads over the hand in two deep
points. The only fullness of the sleeve
puffs out at the shoulder, smartly-not
at all in dropping way, but aggres-
sively stiff, as If making up for the lack
of quantity. Often this style of sleeve
is made up in velvet for a cloth gown,
and finished at the wrist by a soft frill
of yellow lace. a far more dressy
sleeve is shown in style suitable for
handsome dinner or reception gown,
where more or less elaborateness. is
employed. Over a tight lining of silk
is puckered thin mousseline de sole in
black or white from the puff which tops
the shoulder to the frill finishing the
wrist. The puff is made of dress ma
terial, and is made to stand out as
stifily as possible, finished oddly by a
huge loop and long ends of the silk
stuff caught at the top of the shoulder
by fancy button and allowed to tiutter
away at the back. Twists of velvet,
fastened with fancy buttons, finish the
bottom of the shoulder puff and the
wrist.-San Francisco Chronicle.
