give the effect of a double puff across

All the sleeves mentioned may be In

Tar putting are generally cut in two.
Sleeves running in tucks across or gain
cred lengthwse in tiny puffs and mount
ed on tight-lttng Innings are very fash
ionable just now as they suit thin taprlcs
particularly well, but there is decided
tendency to prefer palmer forms IN the
very latest productions.
Dressmakers continue to cut sleeves
fully long. but the points coming down
over the hands are not seen so frequent
w as OF late. Lace ruflles, however,
concealing a portion OF the hand, are
seen on most of the smart toilets. a
very small minority of garden party
costumes worn on different occasions
lately have elbows rather wide and fin
ished with deep lace rufiies. but this sort
of sleeve is generally reserved for house
dresses and tea-gowns l might add
too. that many low evening dresses
have quite long sleeves.
